In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: Wisdom Library: Pancaratra (Samhita list)Brahmasiddhānta (ब्रह्मसिद्धान्त) or Brahmasiddhāntasaṃhitā is the name of an ancient Pāñcarātra Saṃhitā mentioned in the Viśvāmitrasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 2600 Sanskrit verses covering topics such as initiation (dīkṣā) and the construction, decoration and consecration of temples and icons, as well as routines of regular and special worship cycles.—The second chapter contains a canonical list of which it says that “The Pāñcarātra system was taught to various sages who, in turn, understanding those parts only made accessible to their respective limited understandings, promulgated their teachings in a number of saṃhitā-texts [e.g., the Brahmasiddhānta-saṃhitā]. [...] Although the number of saṃhitā-texts extant is infinite, the particular works available from age to age differ”.
Source: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of Śiva (pancaratra)Brahmasiddhānta (ब्रह्मसिद्धान्त) or Brahmasiddhāntasaṃhitā is the name of a Vaiṣṇava Āgama scripture, classified as a rājasa type of the Muniprokta group of Pāñcarātra Āgamas. The vaiṣṇavāgamas represent one of the three classes of āgamas (traditionally communicated wisdom).—Texts of the Pāñcara Āgamas are divided in to two sects. It is believed that Lord Vāsudeva revealed the first group of texts which are called Divya and the next group is called Muniprokta which are further divided in to three viz. a. Sāttvika. b. Rājasa (e.g., Brahmasiddhānta-saṃhitā). c. Tāmasa.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
