In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Puruṣasūktaśrīsūktavārāhamantrārthanirūpaṇa (पुरुषसूक्तश्रीसूक्तवाराहमन्त्रार्थनिरूपण) (lit. “the chapter dealing with the significance of the ‘puruṣasūkta’, ‘śrīsūkta’ and the ‘varāhamantras’) is the name of the fifth-ninth chapter of the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitā, a Pāñcarātra work in 60 chapters dealing with topics such as Viṣṇu’s discus-power, the processes of creation and esoteric practices related to Sudarśana (such as mantras and yantras).—Description of the chapter [puruṣasūktaśrīsūktavārāhamantrārthanirūpaṇa]: Ahirbudhnya turns to the 16-stanza puruṣasūkta-mantra—painting out in a most interesting way that the first stanza connotes the reality of the Para-form of the Lord, that the second stanza reflects Saṃkarṣaṇa’s Being, the third refers to Pradyumna’s work in the world, the fourth to Ahirbudhnya, and the remaining fourteen stanzas concern various worldly matters and their interrelations (1-39). Moving to the śrīsūkta-mantra, he deals with this in briefer fashion, saying that in another work (anyatra) it has already been dealt with at length—adding that this “śrīsūkta” recited along with “puruṣasūkta” will win for one a place in Viṣṇu’s abode (40-43).
As for the “Varāhamantra, whether it be in its gross or subtle form, it does nothing other than to reflect the brilliance and power of Sudarśana ( 44-50).
Having said this, Ahirbudhnya is led to reflect that what he just said about the varāhamantra is no less true of what he has been s tying throughout the entire narrative so far—whereupon he launches into a resumé of all that he has treated so far (51-69). He closes by saying the foregoing śāstra should be kept secret from all except who qualify to hear its potent message (70-75). He and Nārada express gratitude to Sudarśana for allowing them to have had this discussion with him as subject (76-77).
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.
