Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa (p)Jayākhyasaṃhitā (जयाख्यसंहिता) refers to a core text of the Pāñcarātra division of the Vaiṣṇava Āgamas.—The cornerstone of Pāñcarātrāgama is a group of three ancient Āgamas famed as the Ratnatraya–viz., Sāttvata-Saṃhitā, Pauṣkara-Saṃhitā and Jayākhyasaṃhitā. The Īśvara, Pārameśvara and Pādma-Saṃhitā are respectively derived from the former three. In all these works, practical injunctions and rituals are interspersed with theological discussions. The Jayākhyasaṃhitā forms the basis for the worship in the Kāñcīpuram Varadarājasvāmī shrine (Cf. Īśvarasaṃhitā I.67).
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.
