Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsSītāmantra (सीतामन्त्र) is the name of a Mantra chanted during the worship of Rāma, as discussed in the twenty-fifth chapter of the Agastyasaṃhitā (agastya-suīkṣṇa-saṃvāda edition), an ancient Pāñcarātra Āgama text dealing with the worship of Rāma, Sītā, Lakṣmaṇa and Hanumān.—[Cf. the chapter śrī-rāmanavamī-praśaṃsā]:—[...] Agastya proceeds to instruct Sutīkṣṇa in the general rules for using any mantra in his worship. The use of any mantra should always be preceded by bhūtaśuddhi, nyāsas, sandhyā, dīkṣā prāṇāyāma and gāyatrī. Also, he counsels, the six-syllable “mūla-mantra” should be uttered along with the sītāmantra; and they both together should be meditated upon in the disk of the sun (?). As well, stotras of praise should be showered upon Rāma. [...]
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.
