Viṣanārāyaṇītantra (विषनारायणीतन्त्र) is another name for the Tantrasārasaṅgraha of Nārāyaṇa from Kerala of the 15th–16th Cent. CE.—About six chapters of the Kāśyapasaṃhitā are found verbatim in the Tantrasārasaṅgraha. This work, also alluded to as Viṣanārāyaṇītantra, deals with toxicology in the first ten chapters, while the rest of the text discusses a plethora of topics like grahapīḍas, kṣudradhvaṃsa, unmāda and kāmika-karmas. The treatment of poison too seems to be incomplete, raising doubts as to its title as Viṣanārāyaṇītantra. While Kāśyapasaṃhitā expounds mantras and rituals according to Pāñcarātra school of Vaishnavism, invoking Garuḍa to destroy poison, the Tantrasārasaṅgraha speaks of worship of diferent deities like Viṣṇu, Śiva, Śakti, Garuḍa, Paśupati and so on
