In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: JatLand: List of Mahabharata people and placesپṛṣṇ� (अतिकृष्ण�) refers to the name of a River mentioned in the Ѳٲ (cf. VI.10.23). Note: The Ѳٲ (mentioning پṛṣṇ�) is a Sanskrit epic poem consisting of 100,000 śǰ첹 (metrical verses) and is over 2000 years old.

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)
: eScholarship: Chapters 1-14 of the Hayasirsa Pancaratraپṛṣṇa (अतिकृष्ण) refers to “one who is very dark�, representing an undesirable characteristic of an Ācārya, according to the 9th-century Hayaśīrṣa-pañcarātra Ādikāṇḍa chapter 3.—The Lord said:—“I will tell you about the Sthāpakas endowed with perverse qualities. He should not construct a temple with those who are avoided in this Tantra. [...] He should not be very dark (پṛṣṇa), without compassion, a sinner, nor emaciated, short or lazy, he should not be injured, uncultured, agitated and not depressed. [...] A god enshrined by any of these named above (viz., پṛṣṇa), is in no manner a giver of fruit. If a building for Viṣṇu is made anywhere by these excluded types (viz., پṛṣṇa) then that temple will not give rise to enjoyment and liberation and will yield no reward, of this there is no doubt�.

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.
