Pañcarātra. An early
Vaiṣṇava tradition and sect with a large number of texts called
Saṃhitās, of which the ‘three gems’ (the
Pauṣkara,
Sāttvata, and
Jayākhya Saṃhitās) are the most important and earliest (5th–6th cents. CE). The
Jayākhya Saṃhitā is the
locus classicus of Pañcarātra religious practice, which consists of the divinization of the body through the assimilation of a divine
mantra body by
nyasa and
visualization.
Bhakti and grace are also important. Other topics dealt with are outer worship (
bāhya yoga), temple building, initiation,
śraddha, and funeral rites.
