In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
1) Bhūsūkta (भूसूक्त) or Bhūsūktamantra is the name of a Mantra (employed in pratiṣṭhā-ceremonies), as discussed in the ninth chapter of the Parāśarasaṃhitā: a Pañcarātra work of some 2000 verses dealing withe the composition and applications of Mantras, the characteristics of devotees (prapanna) and initiation.—Chapter 8 discusses the śrīsūkta-mantra—the analysis of it, its repititions, etc., with particular mudrās and with dhyāna-meditations, and so forth (1-13). The final verse (14) mentions the advantages of this mantra. Chapter 9 in a similar way discusses the bhūsūkta-mantra—a mantra that may be used in pratiṣṭhā-ceremonies (1-13). Chapter 10, likewise and in similar fashion, discusses a mantra, in this case the nīlāsūkta-mantra (1-19).
2) Bhūsūkta (भूसूक्त) refers to the “Vedic verse to Bhū”, as discussed in chapter 18 of the Śeṣasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 2800 Sanskrit verses narrated by Śeṣa (=Ananta) to Nārada and dealing primarily with the use of the appropriate mantras for various occasions such as jayantī celebrations.—Description of the chapter [bhūsūkta-vidhi]: In a manner similar to the preceding chapter this present one turns to the bhūsūkta, quoting in the course of the arguments from the Maheśvara and Śiva Upaniṣads.
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.
