Mantra² = Śiva (1000 names^1—2).—Do.³ = Viṣṇu (1000

names).

Mantra (from the root man, ‘think’) denotes in the Rigveda¹

and later² the ‘hymn’ as the product of the singer's creative

thought. In the Brāhmaṇas³ the word is regularly used of the

poetic and prose utterances of the Ṛṣis, including not merely

the verse parts of the Saṃhitās, but also the prose formulæ

that betray by their style their special and archaic character.⁴ [Footnote] 1) i. 31, 13; 40, 5; 67, 4; 74, 1;

Mantras — take the food offered in sacrifices to the Pitṛs

as the calf finds out its mother among the lost cows;¹ came

out of discontent, fear, difficulties, happiness and misery of

ṛṣis; later put into form and order by sages; differences in

mantras as many as twenty-four;² the two major divisions

— grāmyam and āraṇyakam;³ Veda mantras, Viṣṇu mantra,

Durgā mantra, Gāṇapata mantra, etc.;⁴ ety of.⁵ [Footnote] 1) Br. II. 28. 91; Vā. 59. 61. [Footnote] 2) Br. II. 32. 68; 33. 42; Vā. 59.
