Tantrasārasaṅgraha (तन्त्रसारसङ्ग्रह) is the name of a text of Nārāyaṇa from Kerala of the 15th–16th Cent. CE.—About six chapters of the Kāśyapasaṃhitā are found verbatim in the Tantrasārasaṅgraha. This work, also alluded to as Viṣanārāyaṇī-tantra, deals with toxicology in the first ten chapters, while the rest of the text discusses a plethora of topics like grahapīḍas, kṣudradhvaṃsa, unmāda and kāmika-karmas. The Tantrasārasaṅgraha speaks of worship of diferent deities like Viṣṇu, Śiva, Śakti, Garuḍa, Paśupati and so on. While Kāśyapa expounds the topic of poison with the help of Garuḍa-mantra, Yantra and Tantra on the strength of his austerity, the Tantrasārasaṅgraha draws its content from a variety of works on a number of interesting topics.

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.
