Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsSṛṣṭikartā (सृष्टिकर्ता) refers to an epithet of Lakṣmī who is associated with the Six Guṇas, as discussed in chapter 4 of the Lakṣmītantra: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 3600 Sanskrit verses exclusively devoted to Goddess Lakṣmī or Śrī (the consort of Viṣṇu) besides dealing with cosmology and practical regarding Vaishnava priests and temple-building programs.—Description of the chapter [mahālakṣmī-samudbhūti]: [...] As Vāsudeva, Lakṣmī existed simultaneously as the six guṇas; in her forms as the three vyūhas, she exists emphatically in complements of these six qualities paired off in their peculiar ways, and thus in these combinations she acts directly as pralayakartā and śāstropadeśakartā, as sṛṣṭikartā and śāstrapracāraka and phalanakartā and śāstraphalanirvāhaka (13-20). But even these various forms she takes are eternal (21-26). [...]
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.
