Vyūhāntara (व्यूहान्तर) refers to “mantras used for the liberation from the cycle of births and death”, and represents a particular classification of mantras (“that which is chanted by people to obtain their spiritual aspirations”).—Another classification of mantra, according to the Pāñcarātra tradition is—para, vyūha and vibhava. Vyūha and vibhava mantras are further sub-divided. The vibhava mantras bestow bhukti or materialistic pleasures, while the vyūha and vyūhāntara-mantras are for mukti or liberation from the cycle of births and death. The para-mantra, known as Vāsudeva-mantra, bestows mukti.
