Mantrashastra (the science of Mantras)
: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts (mantra)ٲś (सप्तविद्याप्रकाश) (lit. “elucidation of the seven-fold wisdom�) is the name of chapter 26 of the ṣmīٲԳٰ: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 3600 Sanskrit verses exclusively devoted to Goddess Lakṣmī or Śrī (the consort of Viṣṇu) besides dealing with cosmology and practical regarding Vaishnava priests and temple-building programs.
Description of the chapter [ٲś]: Indra asks to know the difference between the Tārikā and the Anutārikā-mantras (1-2). An eulogy of the Tāra-(ka), Tārikā, and Anutārikā-mantras is offered (3-12), in which certain distinctions are made between them—each of these being respectively reflecting the emergent energies from the Lord’s quiescent to His active, creative stage. Further esoteric reflections about the nature of sound and its analogous emergence from subtle to gross to principle are given (13-27a). Then the remaining four īᲹԳٰ are listed and briefly discussed—Jagadyoni, Pradyumnī, Sārasvatī, and Mahālakṣmī—with brief directions for composing them with help from the ṇa motif (27b-43).
Mantrashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, Գٰśٰ) refers to the ancient Indian science of mantras—chants, incantations, spells, magical hymns, etc. Mantra Sastra literature includes many ancient books dealing with the methods reciting mantras, identifying and purifying its defects and the science behind uttering or chanting syllables.
