Kavya (poetry)
: Shodhganga: The Kavyamimamsa of RajasekharaBārhaṣpatya (बार्हष्पत्�) is the name of an important person (viz., an Ācārya or Kavi) mentioned in Ჹś’s 10th-century Kāvyamīmāṃsā.—An Ācarya, who is known to be a follower of Bṛhaṣpati. In the Kāvyamīmāṃsā of Rājaśekhara only once time quoted Bārhaṣpatya’s opinion. However, Rājaśekhara does not agree about his views and established five vidyās.

Kavya (काव्�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry� and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry�.

[...]�.
Note: The “followers of Bṛhaspati� (貹ٲⲹ) refers to some materialists (첹) who embrace the ideas expressed in the sūtras traditionally ascribed to Bṛhaspati (on the known fragments of this work and the probability that it was written around the sixth century, see Namai 1976, Bhattacharya 2002 and Franco 2011, 634�636). According to Abhinavagupta, they understand the relationship between the apprehending subject and the apprehended object as the mere result of various combinations between four material elements.

Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: Wisdom Library: Pancaratra (Samhita list)1) 貹ٲⲹ (बार्हस्पत्�) is the name of an ancient Pāñcarātra Saṃhitā mentioned in the ʲ峾ṃh: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter�ñԲ, yoga, and ) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—[Cf. Jñānapāda chapter 1, verses 99-114]—First is explained the folly of following more than one Saṃhitā for a single series of rituals. Then the names of the 108 Tantras of the Pāñcarātra corpus are named [e.g., 貹ٲⲹ]. Even those who repeat these 108 titles will gain salvation.
2) 貹ٲⲹ (बार्हस्पत्�) or 貹ٲⲹsaṃhitā is also mentioned in the վś峾ٰṃh: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 2600 Sanskrit verses covering topics such as initiation (īṣ�) and the construction, decoration and consecration of temples and icons, as well as routines of regular and special worship cycles.�

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.
