Գٲ岵ś (अन्तर्यागप्रका�) (lit. “regarding meditational worship�) is the name of chapter 36 of the ṣmīٲԳٰ: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 3600 Sanskrit verses exclusively devoted to Goddess Lakṣmī or Śrī (the consort of Viṣṇu) besides dealing with cosmology and practical regarding Vaishnava priests and temple-building programs.

Description of the chapter [Գٲ岵ś]: Continuing with the silent portions of worship, the aspirant invokes God’s Presence by employing certain yogic measures—first by calling upon and joining into his own body at appropriate places the presence of śپ, ū and 岵Ի (1-31). Then on these Nārāyaṇa Himself is to be thought of as present in all His power; alongside Him will be Lakṣmī (32-67). These are to be honored by the Puruṣasūkta Hymn and the Śrī Sūkta Hymn and the propriety as well as the method of doing these are to be understood (68-140) as one further concentrates and mentally honors these aspects of deity present in one’s body. Next, mental homa should be done (141-150) -the parts of the body providing all the analogous items needed in a normal homa-offering.
