Pancaratra (worship of N膩r膩ya峁嘺)
: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts础产丑颈峁办补惫颈诲丑腻苍补 (啶呧き啶苦し啷囙啶掂た啶оぞ啶�) (lit. 鈥渞ules for the initiatory bath鈥�) is the name of the tenth chapter of the 狈腻谤补诲墨测补蝉补峁僪颈迟腻: a P膩帽car膩tra document comprising over 3000 verses in 30 chapters presenting in a narrative framework the teachings of N膩rada to Gautama, dealing primarily with modes of worship and festivals.
Description of the chapter [补产丑颈峁办补惫颈诲丑腻苍补]: Gautama wants to hear details concerning the qualifying 补产丑颈峁办补-bath that admits an initiate to 诲别艣颈办补-status (1): N膩rada turns first to the general qualifications for any preceptor (2b-3a), and then, turning to what is the first of three types of 补产丑颈峁办补 to be distinguished, notes that attention must be given to selecting an appropriate 尘补峁囜笉补濒补-design within which the 补产丑颈峁办补-activities will transpire. Then, a 产丑补诲谤补辫墨峁环补-plank will be placed and surrounded by eight 办补濒补艣补-pots containing a variety of materials including water, sprouts, herbs, gems, etc. (3b-13). The candidates for 腻肠腻谤测补-ship sits on the plank while the officiating priest utters mantras and pours libations over him. He notes that during the libations ladies in attendance sing lovely songs. It is only after this event鈥攅quivalent to a 蝉补峁僺办腻谤补-sacrament鈥攖hat one may properly be called a 诲墨办峁迟补 (14-16). Abhi峁ka, guru, 腻肠腻谤测补, 产丑补驳补惫腻苍, cakravartin, 诲墨办峁迟补鈥攖hese are titles that distinguish how many times one has undergone 补产丑颈峁办补 (17-20).
Another type of 补产丑颈峁办补-rite requires only one pot to be used, at the conclusion of which bathing ceremony the candidate is given the symbols of his new office鈥攁n 耻峁ａ箛墨峁-turban, a 办补峁璦办补-anklet, 尘耻诲谤颈办腻-emblem, a pustaka-book, a pair of sandals, a deer skin, a whisk, a sruk-spoon, sruva-ladle, an 腻蝉补苍补 and a 辫墨峁环补 for seating purposes, an umbrella, and a 测辞驳补辫补峁弓补办补-sash鈥攁long with a charge from his preceptor to pursue his duties (21-32). The initiate, in turn, honors this preceptor in all appropriate ways (33-37).
A third type of 补产丑颈峁办补-rite involves another, much larger pot [尘补丑腻驳丑补峁璦] (38-46). Such an 补产丑颈峁办补-rite should be done on the 12th or 15th day (of the fortnight?) under 辫耻峁补 or 谤辞丑颈峁嚹� asterisms, in time of war when a king is going forth to battle and wishes to gain victory, or it may be done to rectify a number of other defects among individuals or within society, etc. (47-53).
Pancaratra (啶ぞ啶炧啶氞ぐ啶距い啷嵿ぐ, p膩帽car膩tra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
