Jyotisha (ज्योतिष, jyotiṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy’ or “Vedic astrology” and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas).

Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: Wisdom Library: Pancaratra (Samhita list)Cāndramasa (चान्द्रमस) or Cāndramasasaṃhitā is the name of an ancient Pāñcarātra Saṃhitā mentioned in the Viśvāmitrasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 2600 Sanskrit verses covering topics such as initiation (dīkṣā) and the construction, decoration and consecration of temples and icons, as well as routines of regular and special worship cycles.—The second chapter contains a canonical list of which it says that “The Pāñcarātra system was taught to various sages who, in turn, understanding those parts only made accessible to their respective limited understandings, promulgated their teachings in a number of saṃhitā-texts [e.g., the Cāndramasa-saṃhitā]. [...] Although the number of saṃhitā-texts extant is infinite, the particular works available from age to age differ”.
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) 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.
