1) īⲹṃh (नारदीयसंहित�) is the name of an ancient Pāñcarātra Saṃhitā mentioned in the ʲ峾ṃh: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter�ñԲ, yoga, and ) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—[Cf. Jñānapāda chapter 1, verses 99-114]—First is explained the folly of following more than one Saṃhitā for a single series of rituals. Then the names of the 108 Tantras of the Pāñcarātra corpus are named [e.g., īⲹṃh]. Even those who repeat these 108 titles will gain salvation.

īⲹṃh (नारदीयसंहित�) is a text comprising well over 3000 śǰ첹 divided into 30 chapters in which the narrative framework has Bhṛgu relate to Atri what Nārada taught to Gautama. The present work, as is typical of so many Pāñcarātra Saṃhitā-texts, is concerned primarily with worship—its formal content, its paraphernalia, its personnel, its locus, and its festive modes. [...] Two or three chapters of the īⲹṃh are of particular interest because they treat in detail not found elsewhere the subject of �phala�. In Ch. XXII, treating �phala� in the sense of fruits and other items used in worship, we find named a number of substitutes nowhere so systematically listed. And in Ch. XXIV, using �phala� in the sense of reward accruing to the virtuous, we have a revealing chapter affording insight into the good life as envisioned within the Śrī-Vaiṣṇava community.
