Description of the chapter [±è°ù²¹á¹‡a²â²¹°ì²¹±ô²¹³ó´Ç³Ù²õ²¹±¹Äå»å¾±±è²¹Ã±³¦²¹±è²¹°ù±¹Äå²Ô³Ù²¹±¹¾±»å³ó¾±]: In the summer months [makara-month to ³¾Ä«²Ô²¹-month], to commemorate the argument that ensues after Viṣṇu abruptly left Laká¹£mÄ« to save a bhakta-devotee, a festival called kalahotsava is held in which the Lord is “locked outâ€� of the temple after a procession. The Arcaka acts as intermediary between the waiting Lord and the thrice adamant Laká¹£mÄ« (1-36). In addition devotees should celebrate the birthdays of various incarnations of God, especially the ten ²¹±¹²¹³ÙÄå°ù²¹²õ—RÄma, VarÄha, Ná¹›siṃha, BalarÄma, KÅ«rma, Kalkin, VÄmana, ParaÅ›urÄma, Matsya and VÄsudeva [Kṛṣṇa]—each at its particular time (37-58). In any given month, certain days are set apart to afford the Lord a procession—usually five but sometimes six times a month, all dependent upon certain calendric or lunar considerations (59-68).

Pancaratra (पाञà¥à¤šà¤°à¤¾à¤¤à¥à¤°, pÄñcarÄtra) 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.
