Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: Wisdom Library: Pancaratra (Samhita list)Viśvāmitratantra (विश्वामित्रतन्त्र) is the name of an ancient Pāñcarātra Saṃhitā mentioned in the Bhāradvājasaṃhitā or “Bhāradvāja-kaṇva-saṃhitā”: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 230 ślokas mainly concerned with basic details concerning temple construction and icon consecration.—In the first chapter of the Bhāradvāja-Saṃhitā a list of canonical titles is given—supposedly, but not actually naming “108” titles. The list is almost identical to that found in the Kapiñjala-saṃhitā.
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.
