Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa (p)Piṇḍamantra (पिण्डमन्त्र) (or the Garuḍa-Piṇḍa-Mantra) refers to one of the four types of Garuḍamantras, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā (Toxicology).—The Garuḍa-piṇḍamantra which is stated to be ideal for everyone is composed of the syllable ha denoting viṣṇupada-ākāśa accompanied by the syllable ra denoting fire along with the nasal and the syllable ī representing Mahāmāyā—together it is hrīṃ. Brahmā is the Ṛṣi of this mantra, with Gāyatrī being the metre. Suparṇa is the deity while ‘ha’ is the bīja or seed. Māyā herself is the Śakti.
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.
