Narayana Pandit had written two works, an arithmetical treatise called ''Ganita Kaumudi'' and an [[algebra]]ic treatise called ''Bijaganita Vatamsa''.

Narayana has also made contributions to the topic of [[cyclic quadrilateral]]s.<ref name=Mathematicians-of-Kerala/>
Narayana is also credited with developing a method for [[Permutation#Generation in lexicographic order|systematic generation of all permutations]] of a given sequence.

'''Narayana's cows''' is an integer sequence which Narayana described as the number of cows present each year, starting from one cow in the first year, where every cow has one baby cow each year starting in its fourth year of life. The first few terms of the sequence are as follows: 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 13, 19, … Narayana's cows is sequence {{OEIS link|A000930}} in [[OEIS]]. The ratio of consecutive terms approaches the [[supergolden ratio]].
