Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsMūlamantrasādhana (मूलमन्त्रसाधन) (lit. “a disciplined program of employing the mūlamantra”) is the name of the twenty-sixth chapter of the Jayākhyasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra Āgama text composed of 4500 verses in 33 chapters dealing with topics such as mantra (formulas), japa (repetitions), dhyāna (meditations), mudrā (gesticulations), nyāsa (concentrations) etc.—Description of the chapter [mūlamantrasādhana]:—Having heard so much that relates to mukti, Nārada now asks to know how to achieve bhukti. Bhagavān tells him that by employing the mantrarājamantra in particular ways with skill, that great achievements can be enjoyed as the fruits. However, certain things must be done in this connection, and this includes finding the proper spot to practise the mantra, etc. If a devotee achieves mastery of the mantra and then does homa in a prescribed way along with mudrās and other special liturgies, the supernatural order can be controlled (9-21), poisons can be made ineffective (22-24a), making others submit to one’s will can be effected (24b-30), disposing of others or otherwise controlling them according to one’s wishes (31 ff.) and a variety of other powers may be acquired (up to 96). Mastery of certain yantras may also lead to effective control over various phenomena namely—the cakrayantra (97-105a) and the śaṅkhayantra (105b-111a)—but the effects differ according to the times when various suggested homa and offerings are made to these yantras (111b-121). The chapter concludes with a eulogy of the mantrarājamantra (122-134a).
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.
