In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of N膩r膩ya峁嘺)
: eScholarship: Chapters 1-14 of the Hayasirsa PancaratraKunakhin (啶曕啶ㄠ啶苦え啷�) or Kunakh墨 refers to 鈥渙ne who has deformed nails鈥�, representing an undesirable characteristic of an 膧c膩rya, according to the 9th-century Haya艣墨r峁-pa帽car膩tra 膧dik膩峁囜笉a chapter 3.鈥擳he Lord said:鈥斺�淚 will tell you about the Sth膩pakas endowed with perverse qualities. He should not construct a temple with those who are avoided in this Tantra. [...] Nor should he have leprosy, deformed nails (kunakhin), white leprosy, brown teeth,be a consumptive, one born in Kacchade艣a, or from K膩ver墨 or Ko峁卥ana. [...] A god enshrined by any of these named above (viz., kunakhin), is in no manner a giver of fruit. If a building for Vi峁ａ箛u is made anywhere by these excluded types (viz., kunakhin) then that temple will not give rise to enjoyment and liberation and will yield no reward, of this there is no doubt鈥�.
Pancaratra (啶ぞ啶炧啶氞ぐ啶距い啷嵿ぐ, p膩帽car膩tra) 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 to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), 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.
