In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Bhūsūktamantra (भूसूक्तमन्त्र) 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 śrīsūktamantra—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 bhūsūktamantra—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 nīlāsūktamantra (1-19).
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.
