In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: Wisdom Library: Pancaratra (Samhita list)Nārasiṃhākhyasaṃhitā (नारसिंहाख्यसंहिता) or Nārasiṃhākhyasaṃhitāsaṃhitā is the name of an ancient Pāñcarātra Saṃhitā mentioned in the Hayaśīrṣasaṃhitā: a large Pāñcarātra Āgama consisting of roughly 6500 verses dealing primarily with architecture, temple-building and consecration rituals and iconography.—The passage listing these titles concludes by saying that originally there were only these twenty-five. Later on, however, saṃhitā-works multiplied in numbers. But all of them are to be understood to be derived from the ones named above.
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.
