Reciting a mantra is intended to release mental and spiritual energies, often as a prayer. Every syllable and every word during a puja, a Hindu service, is considered a mantra. The priest's external activities only gain their meaning and effectiveness through the reciting of the prescribed words. The oldest mantras include the sacrificial formulas and prayers of the Vedas.

Certain combinations of mantras are also used as incantations, for example against snakes, demons or other negative forces. As in the Vedic rite, where the correctly intonated formula fulfilled an important function as an effective force, in Hinduism, too, sound and song are given religious value and effectiveness.

In Chinese literature, the Daoist classic Zhuangzi has the oldest record of the Peng and Kun myths.

“In the northern darkness there is a fish and his name is K'un. The K'un is so huge that I don't know how many thousand li it measures. He changes and becomes a bird whose name is P'eng. The p'eng's back measures how many thousand li I don't know, and when it gets up and flies away, its wings are like clouds in the sky. When the sea begins to move, this bird makes its way to the southern darkness, the Lake of Heaven.

When the P'eng travels into the southern darkness, the water is churned for three thousand li. He beats the whirlwind and rises ninety thousand li to embark on the sixth monthly storm." Fluctuating heat, dust particles, living creatures confusing each other - the sky looks very blue. Is this its true color or is it because it is so far away and has no end? When the bird looks down, everything it sees is also blue.
