The Purana (पुरा�, 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)
: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Textsվṣṇܻ (विष्णुधर्म) is the name of an ancient king from the Drāviḍa country, as discussed in chapters 2-4 of the (first section of the) ṛhṃh: a Pāñcarātra text containing over 4600 Sanskrit verses dealing primarily with Vaiṣṇava theology and practical matters concerning the Śrī-Vaiṣṇava community but also discussing aspects of Viśiṣṭādvaita philosophy.—Description of the chapter [ܻ岹śԲī]: [...] At the request of Śrī, Lord Nārāyaṇa tells the story of the Brahmin sage Śrīvatsa who lived in the former age. [...] Then a heavenly voice came to him telling him to go to Drāviḍa country and there seek God by devotion [bhakti] (89-96). In this Drāviḍa country there was a king, վṣṇܻ, who had won widespread fame as a devotee performing penance to Viṣṇu; Śrīvatsa went to him (1-35). Śrīvatsa and վṣṇܻ are transported together, by the power of Śrīvatsa’s yoga, to the hermitage of Nārāyaṇa—where at the sight of Nārāyaṇa they both are overcome. There follows a description and eulogy of Nārāyaṇa (1-18).

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.
