In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
: Acta Orientalia vol. 74 (2013): Historical sequence of the Vaiṣṇava Divyaśʲñṛṣṇa is short for ʲñṛṣṇakṣetra (Kṛṣṇāraṇyakṣetra, Saptapuṇyakṣetra), which refers to Kaṇṇapuram, one of the 108 Vaishnava Divya Desam (徱ⲹś or divyasthalas), located in the topographical division of Cōḻanāṭu (“Chola country�), according to the 9th century Nālāyirativviyappirapantam (shortly Nālāyiram).—Tradition would record the Vaiṣṇava 徱ⲹś or divyasthalas are 108. The 徱ⲹś is a base of the cult of Viṣṇu in Viṣṇuism [Vaiṣṇavism] tradition. The list of 108 [viz., ʲñṛṣṇa] seems to have reached maturation by about the early 9th century CE as all the ś are extolled in the hymns of the twelve Āḻvārs.

Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu�).
