: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Textsṛgٰ (मृगयायात्र�) refers to the “hunt-festival�, according to the sixth chapter of the Agastyasaṃhitā (ٲⲹ--ṃv岹 edition), an ancient Pāñcarātra Āgama text dealing with typical Pāñcarātra concepts such as the Vyūhas.—Description of utsava: When such necessary preparations have been made, the utsavabera (i.e. the movable idol used on special occasions when processions, etc. are involved) is to be taken into the sanctuary, whereupon bali-offerings are made (110-144 ). Then �ṛgٰ� is done (145—little explanation of what this is appears here but probably it is ṛgٰ, the hunt-festival), followed by kautuka-rites (146-1483) and ṇy. The next morning, after repetitions of some of the preceding rituals [note: a gap in the manuscript appears after śǰ첹 161], a ṇḍ-design is prepared, the icon brought to it, and special baths given to it there. * * * [ Manuscript breaks off at this point.] * * *
