Pauranic mantra
Puranas are secondary texts of Hindus. They are based on Vedas but are full of stories
and are poetical.
The authenticity of the puranas also is in question. Each purana claims certain things,
which are negated by the other purana. But in their ultimate content they do not differ
from the advaita, though they talk in terms of dualistic language. Puranas when not
properly interpreted, lead a person to confusion. Sometimes their descriptions are so
exaggerated that one loses all the faith in these books. When puranas are properly
interpreted, they lead to a vast bank of knowledge through stories and parables. Very
difficult metaphysical truths are described in easy language.
Puranas are 18 in number. There are many mantras given in these 18 puranas.
Mantras derived from puranas are called Pauranic Mantras.
Vishnu Purana, Padma Purana and Bhagavat Purana give lot of mantras of Lord
Vishnu and Lord Krishna. Shiva Purana, Markandeya Purana etc. give a lot of mantras
of Lord Shiva and so on
