Summary:

There are three texts in the genre of pāñcālī: Maṅgalacaṇḍīpāñcālī; Satyanārāyaṇapāñcālī, Sanira\pāñcāli These texts are used to promote the veneration and devotion to a deity or, in the case of regional Islam, a saint or holy man. Typically such texts are also employed for personal benefits and avoiding dangers through the recitation of the text. This group of texts each focuses on a Hindu deity: the goddess Caṇḍī the god Nārāyaṇa, and the planet Śani (Saturn).
