In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Jaganmaṅgala (जगन्मङ्गल) refers to the “most auspicious (amulet)”, as discussed in the fifth chapter [first book] of the Jñānāmṛtasārasaṃhita: a Pāñcarātra text representing a sectarian glorification of Kṛṣṇa and Rādha (i.e., the cult of Radha-Krishna) dated among the latest of the Saṃhitā-type works.—Description of the chapter [jaganmaṅgala-kavaca]: Brahmā here speaks further of the kavaca-amulet and of meditations and praises appropriate to it. He further repeats the praise that Kṛṣṇa once heaped on it. He notes that the “sage” of it is Nārāyaṇa; he also treats of the deva, chandas-meter, etc., of the amulet, how it protects the wearer, how one should treat his amulet with care, etc. (1-32).
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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Jaganmaṅgala (जगन्मङ्गल) refers to the “most auspicious things in the universe”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.28 (“The penance and marriage of Śaṅkhacūḍa”).—Accordingly, [After Śaṅkhacūḍa propitiated Lord Brahmā]: “Brahmā said to him: ‘Tell me the boon you wish to choose’. On seeing Brahmā, the king of Dānavas bowed to him humbly and eulogised him with words of devotion. He requested Brahmā to grant him the power of being invincible to the gods. With a delighted mind, Brahmā said ‘Be it so’. He gave Śaṅkhacūḍa the divine amulet of Śrīkṛṣṇa the most auspicious of all auspicious things in the universe (jaganmaṅgala-maṅgala), that yielded victory everywhere. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
