Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsArcanaphala (अर्चनफ�) refers to the “benefits that accrue from worshipping�, as discussed in chapter 20 of the վṣvԲṃh: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 2800 Sanskrit verses dealing with theological matters, image-worship, iconography (relating to پ-icons) and the construction of temples.—Description of the chapter [ٲī峾Բ]: Nārada explains the fruits that accrue to worshipping one or another of the Lord’s incarnational forms. For examples, worship of Matsya and Kūrma rewards a devotee with realization of all his desires; worship of Varāha erases all his sins and cures all bis illnesses; worship of Narasiṃha rewards a man with all-round success; etc. For the most part the rewards are of a mundane kind (7-16). He counsels that such worship is only for the faithful, and that care should be taken by them to worship the Lord and His entourage with properly understood mantras etc. (17-24).
