[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Paradroha in Pancaratra glossary
: eScholarship: Chapters 1-14 of the Hayasirsa Pancaratra

Paradroha (परद्रो�) refers to “one who is devoted to plotting against others�, 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 despise Tantra or be devoted to plotting against others (paradroha-rata). He should not be born of adultery nor have the voice of a crow, be impotent, timid or irascible. [...] A god enshrined by any of these named above (viz., paradroha-rata), is in no manner a giver of fruit. If a building for Viṣṇu is made anywhere by these excluded types (viz., paradroha-rata) then that temple will not give rise to enjoyment and liberation and will yield no reward, of this there is no doubt�.
