In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts貹첹 (अध्याप�) refers to a type of “temple personnel� (responsible for chanting scriptures), as discussed in the second chapter of the ʲܰṣaṃh: a Pāñcarātra text in ten chapters composed of 940 verses dealing with the personnel of a temple, their prerequisites and duties, their different ranks, the privileges and responsibilities of each etc.—Description of the chapter [첹-貹첹-徱-ṃk-Ծṇaⲹ]: The Ṛṣis ask first how to distinguish between the various temple servants (1-3). Nārada replies that on the very day of پṣṭ-consecration the ⲹᲹԲ-patron should hire all the temple personnel required (4-5). [...] For chanting Vedas, the 屹ḍāmⲹ-scriptures, stotras, etc., 4 to 1000 貹첹 are to be appointed also (54-76a). [...] All of these temple servants should have undergone 貹ñṃs-qualifying rites (88b-89).

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.
