Fellow drawing back to get sacred text (6)
I believe the answer is:
mantra
'sacred text' is the definition.
(mantra is a kind of sacred text)
'fellow drawing back' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'man' (I've seen this before).
'drawing' becomes 'art' (I've seen this before).
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'art' backwards is 'tra'.
'man'+'tra'='MANTRA'
'to get' is the link.
(Other definitions for mantra that I've seen before include "Buddhist aid to concentration" , "Oft-repeated slogan or phrase" , "words of comfort repeatedly" , "Hindu word or phrase as aid to meditation" , "Word or phrase repeated as aid to concentration" .)
