Jun 9, 2020 at 15:01 comment added Srimannarayana K V According to Taittiriya samhita 7.1.10 and others, apart from pancharatra, many other rites, covering many nights, were mentioned. Hence, performing 5 days austerities by sage Narayana might have been adopted from Taittiriya samhita @LuckyPashu

Jun 8, 2020 at 15:38 comment added Lucky Pashu A form of Vaisnavism bearing this name (Pancaratra )is already mentioned in the Mahabharata.(Mahabharata 12.322.24; 12. 326.100; 12.360.76;12.337.1; 12.370.59, 63, and 67.) these early Pancaratra texts show clear signs of having drawn on ´Saiva sources. Indeed in the Svayambhuvapancaratra, Sanderson examined a Nepalese palm-leaf manuscript bearing a date of transcription that falls in A . D. 1026. The principal Mantra of this text, which may well be the oldest of the seven, is the well-known Vaisnava Dvadasaksara OM NAMO BHAGAVATE VA SUDEVAYA NAMAH .

Curiously , from the historical one, Vaisnavas who left their mark in the domains of the major Sastras, belles-lettres, and literary theory are few during our centuries. The shift in the fortunes of Vaisavism is marked by the emergence of such influential religious leaders as Ramanuja (d. 1137), Madhva (probably 1238–1317). Before that happened, while it remained in the shadow of ´Saivism, it gave rise to a new literature of scriptural texts known collectively as the Pa˜ncar¯atra, that was probably composed in and around Kashmir.
