In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: The Purana IndexSātvatasaṃhitā (सात्वतसंहिता).—The bhāgavata a means to bhakti (see Sātvati śruti).*
- * Bhāgavata-purāṇa I. 7. 6-7.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa (p)Sāttvatasaṃhitā (सात्त्वतसंहिता) 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., Sāttvatasaṃhitā, Pauṣkara Saṃhitā and Jayākhya Saṃhitā. 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 Sāttvatasaṃhitā forms the basis for the worship in the Tirunārāyaṇa temple in Melkote (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, 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.
