Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsMantranāmarahasya (मन्त्रनामरहस्य) refers to the “secret of the mantra-names”, as discussed in the eighth chapter [fifth book] of the Jñānāmṛtasārasaṃhita: a Pāñcarātra text representing a sectarian glorification of Kṛṣṇa and Rādha (i.e., the cult of Radha-Krishna) dated among the latest of the Saṃhitā-type works.—Description of the chapter [mantranāmarahasya]: Nārada here asks Śiva to tell him the meaning of the Kṛṣṇa and Rādhā mantras. In reply Śiva gives several instructive etymological derivations for each letter of the kṛṣṇamantra, and then proceeds to take up the Lord’s other names with similar fanciful etymological explanations for Keśava, Nārāyaṇa, Mādhava, et. al. (1-31).
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.
