In Hinduism

Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)

Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts

Jñānāmṛtasārasaṃhita (ज्ञानामृतसारसंहित) is a product of the Pāñcarātra school representing a sectarian glorification of Kṛṣṇa and Rādha (i.e., the cult of Radha-Krishna) dated among the latest of the Saṃhitā-type works.—The Jñānāmṛtasārasaṃhita runs to somewhat over 3100 ślokas, divided into sixty chapters, again divided (as already noted) into five unequal sections. The narrator is Vyāsa who proposes to tell what was revealed to Nārada by Maheśvara (=Śaṅkara =Śiva). [...] The real interest for us in the Jñānāmṛtasārasaṃhita is that it demonstrates the direction that Pāñcarātra thought takes in the context of later sectarian developments, and reveals how certain ideas traditional to the school are dropped (e.g,, the vyūhas) and how others assert an overweening prominence (e.g., the emergence of the śakti=power as a significant, creative and generative force in its own right).

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
