- * 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: Wisdom Library: Pancaratra (Samhita list)1) Sāttvatasaṃhitā (सात्त्वतसंहिता) is the name of an ancient Pāñcarātra Saṃhitā mentioned in the Kapiñjalasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra work consisting of 1550 verses dealing with a variety of topics such as worship in a temple, choosing an Ācārya, architecture, town-planning and iconography.—For the list of works, see chapter 1, verses 14b-27. The list [including Sāttvatasaṃhitā] was said to have comprised “108” titles, these, different saṃhitās named after different manifestations of the Lord or different teachers. They are all said to be authoritative as the ultimate promulgator of all these is the same Nārāyaṇa.
2) Sāttvatasaṃhitā (सात्त्वतसंहिता) is the name of an ancient Pāñcarātra Saṃhitā mentioned in the Padmasaṃhitā: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter—jñāna, yoga, kriyā and caryā) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—[Cf. Jñānapāda chapter 1, verses 99-114]—First is explained the folly of following more than one Saṃhitā for a single series of rituals. Then the names of the 108 Tantras of the Pāñcarātra corpus are named [e.g., Sāttvatasaṃhitā]. Even those who repeat these 108 titles will gain salvation.

4) Sāttvatasaṃhitā (सात्त्वतसंहिता) is classified as a “Divya” type of Pāñcarātra text, according to the Pārameśvarasaṃhitā: an important Pāñcarātra text of 8700 verses followed closely by the Ranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam—dealing with priestly concerns such as their daily routines, occasional liturgies and expiatory services.—[Cf. chapter 10 verses 374-386a].
5) Sāttvatasaṃhitā (सात्त्वतसंहिता) is also mentioned in the Puruṣottamasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text consisting of more than 1800 verses devoted to temple-building and the practical concerns of the Pāñcarātra priestly community.
6) Sāttvatasaṃhitā (सात्त्वतसंहिता) is also mentioned in the Bhāradvājasaṃhitā or “Bhāradvāja-kaṇva-saṃhitā”: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 230 ślokas mainly concerned with basic details concerning temple construction and icon consecration.
7) Sāttvatasaṃhitā (सत्त्वतसंहिता) (also Sattvatasaṃhitā) is also mentioned in the Mārkaṇḍeyasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 2200 Sanskrit verses mainly dealing with temple-building, iconography, pūjā (worship procedures), utsava (festivities) and prāyaścitta (expiatory measures).
8) Sāttvatasaṃhitā (सात्त्वतसंहिता) is also mentioned in the Viśvāmitrasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 2600 Sanskrit verses covering topics such as initiation (dīkṣā) and the construction, decoration and consecration of temples and icons, as well as routines of regular and special worship cycles.—
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsSāttvatasaṃhitā (सात्त्वतसंहिता) is the name of a Pāñcarātra Āgama text written in roughly 3500 Sanskrit metrical verses consisting of 25 chapters.—The key term for understanding almost 75 percent of the text is “mantra”. For, chapters II-VI concern silent, followed by overt, liturgical worship of ekamūrti forms of the four vyūhas with the appropriate mantras; Chapters IX-XIII contain much the same type of materials in regard to the vibhava forms; Chapters XVI-XXIII concern dīkṣā-initiation into the lore and uses of all the requisite mantras. The remainder of the work—Chapters VII-VIII, XIV-XV and XXIV-XXV concerns special supererogatory (vrata) undertakings, the festive pavitrāropaṇa-rites, and temple-and icon-constraction respectively. Chapter I is a conventional introductory chapter setting the scene. The framework narrative has Nārada relating to some sages what Bhagavān told to Saṃkarṣaṇa—the latter in turn having (as Paraśurāma) given it to him.
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.
