ѲԳٰīṣ� (मन्त्रदीक्षा) refers to the “initiation into mantra usage�, as discussed in the sixth chapter of the ʲśṃh: a Pañcarātra work of some 2000 verses dealing withe the composition and applications of Mantras, the characteristics of devotees (prapanna) and initiation.—This chapter turns to the matter of initiating a believer into the knowledge of mantras. Why, when, how, etc., to do this Գٰīṣ�-ceremony is outlined up to the point of having branded the initiate (1-42), whereupon a section is given over to discussing generally the 貹ñṇs. Only after this are the final steps of the īṣ� ceremony mentioned (43-66).
