Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsSiṃhamahāmantra (सिंहमहामन्त्र) is the name of a Mantra, according to the eleventh 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.—Description of the eleventh chapter:—Here, dhyāna-meditations on the ferocious aspects of Narasiṃha are outlined. He is described as eight-armed, red-haired, red-eyed having holy marks and with Lakṣmī at his side. With this in mind, one should then repeat the siṃhamahāmantra. If done correctly and devotedly one can expect to enjoy a number of rewards (1-7). Homas, too, may accompany these exercises to even greater effects (8-13). This discipline with the siṃhamahāmantra was given by Viṣṇu to Brahmā and by the latter to Agastya. Brahmā also gave it to Sanaka and other sages (14-16).
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.
