Mantrashastra (the science of Mantras)
Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa (mantra)Praṇavamantra (प्रणवमन्त्र) refers to the “quintessence of the Vedas”, according to the Māṇḍūkyopaniṣd I.1.—Mantras refers to “that which is chanted by people to obtain their spiritual aspirations”.—The Upaniṣads often echo the fact that Om or Praṇava is the quintessence of the Vedas. It is the crest jewel of all mantras, as all mantras derive their potency from it. All that is past, present and future is indeed Om. Praṇava is beyond the triple concept of time.
