Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Textsܻ岹첹ٳԲ (अधिकारिमुद्राभेदकथ�) (lit. “chapter on the types of deserving persons and their ܻ�) is the name of chapter 22 of the ٳٱٲṃh: one of the most ancient of Pāñcarātra Āgamas consisting of roughly 3500 verses which stresses the theological standpoint of the oneness of God despite his various ū (modes of existence), vibhavas (manifestations) and (incarnations).
Description of the chapter [ܻ岹첹ٳԲ]: Saṃkarṣaṇa, hearing the last statement (in the preceding chapter), asks what are the qualities such persons of the four groups mentioned must maintain. This gives the framework for descriptions of each group, their pious habits, their desirable qualities, etc. the ideal Pāñcaratrin (3-27); the ideal youth eligible for initiation (i.e., “Putra� in sense of an initiate treated like a son by the Guru, as well as the blood-issue of the Guru also) (28-37); the post-initiation aspirant (38-43); the ideal Ācārya (44-48, 58). Bhagavān then describes the three kinds of utterances, those of divine origin, those mediated through sages, and those authored by men; the characteristics of each are given; the first two are worthy of acceptance, but the last, 貹ܰṣa, is to be ignored, as it is mostly beset with defects; where it agrees with the first or the second, it may be accepted, (49-56). The last two śǰ첹 allude in an enigmatic manner to the four ܻ-gestures applicable to the above four kinds of persons ending with Deśika—but the passage does little to explain these beyond the fact that they are the same five minus ṅgṣṭ, (thumb) already mentioned in relation to Narasiṃha (63-65a),

Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) 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.
