In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Textsʳܳṃh (पुच्छसिं�) refers to a Բ-method using the �Գṣṭܱ� variety (71 ff.) associated with one of the seventy-seven types of Nṛsiṃha-Mantra, according to the fourth chapter of the Īśvarasaṃhitā (baroda edition) also known as the Nṛsiṃhakalpa, a Pāñcarātra work consisting of 640 verses and 14 chapters written in the form of a dialogue between Īśvara and Pārvatī.� According to chapter 4 (verse 59) there are some seventy-seven varieties of the ṛsṃhԳٰ. [...] All the varieties differ from one another according to varying meters, different ṛṣ associated with them, different deities presiding over them, different ܻ-gestures used with them, different Բ-meditations employed, etc. [...] One called the �ܳṃh� method, the other called the �첹ī� method. In the first type, one imagines a Leonine Form, his tail stretched up, his tongue lapping up all sentient creatures. Thus, the mantra may be used to influence and subdue others. When one imagines a five-faced Narasiṃha, each aspect ferocious, one then uses the mantra to effect cures not only from diseases but also illnesses induced by poisons.

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.
