In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Pure Bhakti: Bhagavad-gita (4th edition)Nāradapañcarātra (नारदपञ्चरात्र) refers to “a narrative in five parts: knowledge that gives the supreme truth;knowledge that awards mukti; knowledge that awards bhakti;knowledge that awards mystic perfection and knowledge in the mode of ignorance that is interspersed with numerous mantras, stotras and kavacas”. (cf. Glossary page from Śrīmad-Bhagavad-Gītā).
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsNāradapāñcarātra (नारदपाञ्चरात्र) another name for the Jñānāmṛtasārasaṃhita: a Pāñcarātra text representing a sectarian glorification of Kṛṣṇa and Rādha (i.e., the cult of Radha-Krishna) dated among the latest of the Saṃhitā-type works—The Jñānāmṛtasārasaṃhita runs to somewhat over 3100 ślokas, divided into sixty chapters, again divided (as already noted) into five unequal sections. The narrator is Vyāsa who proposes to tell what was revealed to Nārada by Maheśvara (=Śaṅkara =Śiva). [...] The so-called “Nārada-Pāñcardtra or more correctly titled Jñānāmṛtasāra-saṃhitā—is a late work and is unrepresentative of mainstream Pāñcarātra thought.
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.
