In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: University of Vienna: Sudarśana's Worship at the Royal Court According to the AhirbudhnyasaṃhitāMuktāpīḍa (मुक्तापीड) is the name of an ancient king said to have employed the Sudarśana Yantra, according to the Ahirbudhnya-Saṃhitā.—The pacificatory ritual described in Adhyāya 47 closes the Metasection on Ritual. It is portrayed as instrumental for the protection of the kingdom and its prosperity. Interestingly, the apologetic strategy of mentioning ancient kings who had benefited from the practice is adopted here in much the same way as in the beginning of Adhyāya 48, where ancient kings are listed [e.g., Muktāpīḍa] who had overcome various difficulties by means of Sudarśana’s Yantra.
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, 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.
