Murali,
My apologies if I was mistaken in my statement.
Can you clarify where the nArAyaNa upanishad is
in regular use in temple ritual?
My impression was that other than in the
"mantra pushpam", Vedic recitation in Vaishnava temples
is almost exclusively from the Yajur Veda. Pancaratra
temple priests are generally required to be from Yajur Veda.
