In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
: eScholarship: Chapters 1-14 of the Hayasirsa PancaratraҲṇḍ (गण्डमालिन्) or Gaṇḍamālī refers to “one who has an inflammation of the neck glands�, representing an undesirable characteristic of an Ācārya, according to the 9th-century Hayaśīrṣa-pañcarātra Ādikāṇḍa chapter 3.—The Lord said:—“I will tell you about the Sthāpakas endowed with perverse qualities. He should not construct a temple with those who are avoided in this Tantra. [...] He should not be red-eyed, have honey-colored eyes or cats� eyes. He should not be greedy, a have inflammation of the neck glands (ṇḍ), or inclined to hypocritical behavior. [...] A god enshrined by any of these named above (viz., ṇḍ), is in no manner a giver of fruit. If a building for Viṣṇu is made anywhere by these excluded types (viz., ṇḍ) then that temple will not give rise to enjoyment and liberation and will yield no reward, of this there is no doubt�.

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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
