In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of Śiva (pancaratra)Pārameśvarasaṃhitā (पारमेश्वरसंहिता) or simply Pārameśvara is the name of a Vaiṣṇava Āgama scripture, classified as a sāttvika 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 (e.g., Pārameśvarasaṃhitā-saṃhitā). b. Rājasa. c. Tāmasa.
Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa (p)Pārameśvarasaṃhita (पारमेश्वरसंहित) 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, Pauṣkarasaṃhitā and Jayākhya Saṃhitā. The Īśvara, Pārameśvarasaṃhita and Pādma-Saṃhitā are respectively derived from the former three. In all these works, practical injunctions and rituals are interspersed with theological discussions. The Pauṣkarasaṃhitā forms the basis for the worship in the Śrīraṅga temple (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.

[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.
