: Exotic India: Rishyasringa Samhita

Rishyashringa Samhita belongs to the branch of the Sanskrit learning called Mantra Sastra, which prescribes Mantra Siddhi based on Japa, and Purascarya which helps man to acquire occult powers. This book is in the form of a dialogue between Rishyasringa, the celebrated sage of Ramayana and many Rishis including Uddalaka. Of course the name Mantra is the same as that of the Vedas. But in their structure and contents it totally differs from the Mantra of the Vedas. Getting occult powers is not strange to Vedic religion. Atharva Veda, which is separately treated on account of its occultism paved the way for the Mantrashastra. In Vedic religion, brahmacarya is one sense helps man to get occult powers. [...]

The Rishyashringasamhita is classified as a scripture of the Vaishnava Mantra-sastra, hence we find elaborate specific mantras of Vishnu and his incarnations and manifestations and his consorts etc. Ashtakshara Mantra (Mantra with 8 letters) Dvadasakshara (Mantra with 12 letters) and Shadhakshara (Mantra with 6 letters) are elaborated with their glorifications. Srividya Mantra finds place here which belongs to Sri. The Mantra tradition is kept in secret, even now. One can get it only from one's preceptor who has already attained Siddhi (a stage which can help man to act and talk in the language of divinity).
