Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa (p)Vipadi (विपदि) or Vipadimantra is another name for the Garuḍamantra: an effective Mantra used in alleviating poison, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā (Toxicology).—The Sanatkumāra-Saṃhitā vouches for the effectiveness of the Garuḍamantra in alleviating the viṣa and upaviṣa wherein the invoked serpents come and remove the venom of specified snakes.—This Garuḍamantra is also known as Vipadi-mantra since the letter pa and kṣi are interchanged. It is reckoned as Vipadi because it can be applied successfully for various poisons and ailments by interchanging its syllables in a specific manner. It is so called as it protects a person from vipat or danger. The Mantra is also known as Garuḍa Pañcākṣarī and Pañcārṇamanu.
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.
