Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a Wikipedia entry, written and revised by unnamed volunteer editors, suited to an uncontested, easily checked point about a recited or sung formula rather than a disputed claim. NotesWikipedia's article on mantra, consulted 2026-08-12. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here only for the Sanskrit word's own Proto-Indo-Iranian etymology and for the practice's presence in Jainism and Sikhism specifically, general and comparative facts distinct from the atlas's existing Encyclopedia of Religion, Encyclopedia of Hinduism and Om Mani Padme Hum study citations, and naming no Vajrayana-specific empowerment-bound practice material.
