վṣṇܻ󲹰 (विष्णुधर्म) is the name of an ancient king from the Drāviḍa country, as discussed in chapters 2-4 of the (first section of the) ṛh󳾲ṃh: 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).
