Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)

Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts

Hanumānmantra (हनुमान्मन्त्र) is the name of a mantra which gives bhukti and mukti in this world, according to the Agastyasaṃhitā (agastya-suīkṣṇa-saṃvāda edition), an ancient Pāñcarātra Āgama text dealing with the worship of Rāma, Sītā, Lakṣmaṇa and Hanumān.—[Cf. the chapter āñjaneyamanu]:—Sutīkṣṇa declares that he has learned much that he never knew before, and that he is grateful to know all this about Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. But sometime back he heard Agastya mention Hanumān, and he asks to be further enlightened about the mantra and worship to be addressed to that deity. Agastya allows that he had meant to tell him about that, because the Hanumānmantra (also) gives bhukti and mukti in this world. This particular mantra was originally revealed by Śaṅkara (=Śiva), the meter is anuṣṭup, the deity is Hanumān, the bīja is “hrīṃ”, etc. Anyone who uses this mantra can be sure that all evil spirits will be dispelled. The method for uttering the mantra is given at some length, with instructions for nyāsas, etc. Directions are also given for repeating the mantra if one wishes to obtain certain ends—e.g., curing diseases, exhorting spirits, winning battles, etc.
