: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts

The Anklet (i.e., an 鈥渁nkle bracelet鈥� or other type of ornament) (in Sanskrit: Ka峁璦ka) represents one of the various symbols given to initiates after the 补产丑颈峁办补-rite, as discussed in the tenth chapter of the Naradiya-Samhita: a Pancaratra document comprising over 3000 verses in 30 chapters presenting in a narrative framework the teachings of Narada to Gautama, dealing primarily with modes of worship and festivals.鈥擜ccordingly, Gautama wants to hear details concerning the qualifying 补产丑颈峁办补-bath that admits an initiate to 诲别艣颈办补-status. [...] One type of 补产丑颈峁办补-rite requires only one pot (办补濒补艣补) to be used, at the conclusion of which bathing ceremony the candidate is given the symbols of his new office鈥擺e.g., an 办补峁璦办补 or anklet]鈥攁long with a charge from his preceptor to pursue his duties (21-32). The initiate, in turn, honors this preceptor in all appropriate ways (33-37).
