In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsRāmamantra (राममन्त्र) is the name of a six-syllabled Mantra, according to the tenth 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 pūjāvidhāna]:—Agastya tells Sutiksna how to go about worshipping Rama, the instructions being those originally told by Nārada to Vālmīki. The first step in pūjā is when the dvāraparivāras 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 Rāmamantra (this being called “Rāmamāhātmya”), and these bring great rewards to him who chants them daily. The rewards for such persons are briefly listed.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
