: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsѲԻ岵 (महेन्द्रया�) refers to the “worship ceremony dedicated to Mahendra (=Indra, Śakra, Śatakratu, Deveśvara)�, as discussed in chapter 1 of the Śivarātra section of the Բٰܳṃh: an encyclopedic Sanskrit text written in over 3500 verses dealing with a variety of topics such as yoga, temple-building, consecration ceremonies, initiation and dhanurveda (martial arts).—Description of the chapter [پٳ-岵]: Sanatkumāra proposes to deal here briefly with پٳ岵 concerns during the bright fortnight. [...] Then follow directions for the 岵 of Mahendra (=Indra, Śakra, Śatakratu, Deveśvara) (252-275a); [...] The last śǰ첹 (359) assures devotees that observing carefully these preceding instructions [e.g., for mahendra岵] in the bright fortnight will bring them realization of all their spiritual desires; if undertaken in the dark fortnight, more mundane aims may be obtained.

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.
