Stutimantra (स्तुतिमन्त्र) is the name of a Mantra, as described in the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—The concluding portions of the first Adhyāya (64-70) are terse prose passages, that dwell at length on the Pada and the Stuti mantras, which invoke Garuḍa, in order to annihilate the poison in the snake-bite victim’s body. They give the various avian names of Garuḍa, besides applauding his various exploits like effortlessly bringing the nectar from the heavens to free his mother Vinatā from slavery, and his doubling up as a vehicle for Viṣṇu.
