The mantras were discovered by the rishis (seers), their true source
is found self existing in the subtle body or the astral spine, each
chakra (wheel or vortice of prana) have certain unique vibrations,
supposedly
this is where the mantras have originated. All true mantras lead to
Brahmanandam....
If you mean Vedic rishis, you are incorrect.
A seed mantra is the seed of *something*. It's a mandala that is
their source, the mandala of the deity in question. Over time, in the
Hindu tantras these were corrupted to mere yantras and the originals
lost.
