In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsViṣṇulokavistāra (विष्णुलोकविस्तार) refers to the “some more details about the dominions of Viṣṇu”, as discussed in chapter 7 of the Indrarātra section of the Sanatkumārasaṃhitā: an encyclopedic Sanskrit text written in over 3500 verses dealing with a variety of topics such as yoga, temple-building, consecration ceremonies, initiation and dhanurveda (martial arts).
Description of the chapter [viṣṇulokavistāra]: Sanatkumāra undertakes here to describe the different worlds governed by the various forms of Viṣṇu. The first of these is Varāhaloka, which is described in terms of its extent, its buildings, etc. (1-12). This is followed by Cakraloka (13), Rāmaloka in the Southeast (14-25a), Narasiṃhaloka (25b- 36a), Rāmaloka in the Southwest (36b-453), Varuṇaloka (45b-55), Vāyuloka (56), Vāmanaloka (57a) Hayaśīrṣaloka (57b-68a), Vāsudevaloka (68b-77), Īśānaloka (78-79), Kāpilaloka (80-94), Viṣṇuloka (95-97), Brahmaloka (98- 106) and Mahāviṣṇuloka (107-113a). In this last abode all the Great Ones who continually worship the Lord in His Ultimate Form will be found. The chapter ends with the counsel to remember that all the forms enumerated are from one and the same Source; to remember this fact is to gain release. Even the mere reading of this chapter will serve to annul all one’s sins (1136-118).

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.
