Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts

Rāmamantra (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.
