1) 峾Գٰ (राममन्त्�) is the name of a six-syllabled Mantra, according to the tenth chapter of the Agastyasaṃhitā (ٲⲹ-īṣṇ-ṃv岹 edition), an ancient Pāñcarātra Āgama text dealing with the worship of Rāma, Sītā, Lakṣmaṇa and Hanumān.—[Cf. the ū屹Բ]:—Agastya tells Sutiksna how to go about worshipping Rama, the instructions being those originally told by Nārada to Vālmīki. The first step in ū is when the 屹貹 are honored with stotras of praise—Gaṇapati, Bhānu, Vidhātā, Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Viṣvaksena, Garuḍa, et. al. This is followed by repetitions in various ways of the six-syllable 峾Գٰ (this being called “Rāmamāhātmya�), and these bring great rewards to him who chants them daily. The rewards for such persons are briefly listed.
