In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsŚܻś (शुद्धमार्गप्रकाश) (lit. “the emergence of the unalloyed ranges of being�) is the name of chapter 2 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 [śܻś]: The chapter opens with a description (by Śrī) of the Paramātman-form known as (the transcendent) Vāsudeva, of her intimate [ٳⲹ] relationship to Him and thus her own greatness, omnipotence, omniscience, etc. as His Śakti (1-25). The Lord in His own essence is ñԲ; the attributes associated with this essence, however, are six—namely, ñԲ (), śپ, bala, śⲹ, īⲹ, and tejas. The characteristics of these six are given (27-36). Pure creation [śܻṛṣṭi] begins with the appearance of (the demi-urge) Vāsudeva who is absolute quality-without qualities [abhivyakta/anabhivyakta] and is the �para� form of the Lord. Then follow the emergence in order and increasing activity (see ch. III, below), of the three ū-forms: Saṃkarṣaṇa, who combines ñԲ and bala and who controls pralaya; Pradyumna, who combines śⲹ and īⲹ and who controls creations [utpatti]; and Aniruddha, who combines śپ and tejas and who controls preservation [sthiti]. These four together contribute the range of Pure Creation-hence are called ٳܰٳⲹ (37-61).

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.
