Significance of Mantra invocation

Mantra invocation encompasses several practices across different traditions. In the Purana, it involves the recitation of sacred phrases to call upon divine presence, such as specific syllables for invoking the Sun's blessings, or using formulas that enable divine attributes in individuals, like Kunti's sons. Ayurveda describes it as a chant for protection from the goddess Mukhamandika, while the Pancaratra refers to the recitation of sacred sounds to invite the divine into worship settings.
