Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsNyāsādhyāya (न्यासाध्याय) (lit. “chapter on nyāsa-concentrations”) is the name of chapter 13 of the (first part of the) Śāṇḍilyasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 3600 Sanskrit verses dealing with devotion towards Kṛṣṇa who is identified with the Supreme, as well as ethical behavior and pious practices to be observed by devotees (bhaktas).
Description of the chapter [nyāsādhyāya]: The 18-syllable siddhagopālamantra is said to be the essence of all the Vedas, and it belongs only to the initiated. It is analyzed briefly (1-5), whereupon Śāṇḍilya turns again for the bulk of the chapter—to the matter of nyāsa-concentrations using it (6-63). The real nature of Paramātman (Kṛṣṇa) is to be meditated upon (64-93) as accompaniment to the nyāsa-concentrations. The benefits accruing to those who practice these secret and potent nyāsas are indicated in general terms (94-99).
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.
