Crossword Genius

Snare leader of party to leave same statement repeatedly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mantra

'same statement repeatedly' is the definition.
(repeated phrase or slogan)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for mantra that I've seen before include "Incantation, Hindu psalm" , "Words repeated as an aid to meditation" , "words of comfort repeatedly" , "Hindu word or phrase as aid to meditation" , "Buddhist chant" .)
