Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsDvayamantra (द्वयमन्त्र) is the name of a Mantra employed in nitya and naimittika duties, as discussed in the eleventh chapter of the Parāśarasaṃhitā: a Pañcarātra work of some 2000 verses dealing withe the composition and applications of Mantras, the characteristics of devotees (prapanna) and initiation.—Chapter 11 turns to the eighth-syllable mūlamantra. This may also be used in pratiṣṭhā-ceremonies (1-16). Then the dvayamantra is briefly treated (17-20). One should employ all the mantras in his nitya and naimittika duties if he seeks mokṣa (21).
