Have any one come across the term pancarAtrika? 

Some source indicate that this term was used to refer to those who 
move from one place to another after speding 5 days. Typically, these 
movements are from one holy site to another, with complete devotion 
to the deity in those places. They typically do not have any 
attachment to earthly matters. Is there any relationship between 
alwars and pancarAtrikas?
