Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsNārāyaṇādri (नारायणाद्रि) is another name for Melkote (Melkoṭe), according to the twentieth chapter of the Īśvarasaṃhitā (printed edition), a Pāñcarātra work in 8200 verses and 24 chapters dealing with topics such as routines of temple worship, major and minor festivals, temple-building and initiation. Description of the chapter [yādavācalamāhātmya]: The sages ask Nārada where the svayamvyakta-images (mentioned in the preceding chapter) are to be found, and why these give greatness [mahattva] to the place wherein they are found (1-3a). [...] Of these many holy places, four stand out in particular, namely: Srirangam, Tirupati, Conjeevaram and Melkote (11-114). The establishment of Melkote (= Nārāyaṇādri =Yādavācala) is then described in story-form (115-329), giving mythological support for certain dates, place-names and festivals observed at Melkoṭe. [...]
