Parvan: Encyclopedia - Hemachandra

Hemachandra Suri (हेमचन्द्र सूरी) (correct Sanskrit spelling Hemacandra Sürí) (1089 -1172) was one of the greatest scholars of his time. He wrote on many subjects: grammar, philosophy, tradition, and contemporary history. One of his best known works is the Tri-shashthi-shalaka- purusha-charitra, the lives of the 63 illustrious persons in Jainism. After having written this, he composed an appendix to it (hence called "Parishista-parvan"). This appendix, also called "Sthaviravali-charitra ...

Parvan: Encyclopedia II - Chanakya - Origins

Chanakya was most probably born in Magadha (ruled by the Nandas) as the son of acharya Chanak. A south Indian group of Brahmins, Chozhiyas, claim that Chanakya was one of them. Though this may sound very improbable considering the vast distance between present day Tamilnadu in the south and Magadha in Bihar, it finds curious echos in Parishista-parvan, where Hemachandra claims that Chankya was a Dramila. Dramila, bei ...

Parvan: Spiritual Yoga Dictionary IV on Prakriti

Prakriti:

Prakriti ("creatrix"): nature, which is multilevel and, according to Patanjali's yoga-darshana, consists of an eternal dimension (called pradhana or "foundation"), levels of subtle existence (called sukshma-parvan), and the physical or coarse realm (called sthula-parvan); all of nature is deemed unconscious (acit), and therefore it is viewed as being in opposition to the transcendental Self or Spirit (purusha)

Bhagavad-Gita (Sanskrit) (from bhagavat illustrious, sacred, holy, lord (one of Krishna's titles) + gita song)

The noble song, the Lord's song; a portion of the Bhagavad-Gita Parvan, one subsection of the Bhishma Parvan, itself one of the principle sections of the Mahabharata. The Bhagavad-Gita consists of a dialogue in which Krishna and Arjuna have a discussion upon the highest spiritual philosophy.

Parvan: Spiritual - Theosophy Dictionary on Anugita

Anugita (Sanskrit) (from anu after, alongside + gita sung, chanted, song from the verbal root gai to sing, intone)

After-song; chapters 16-92 of the Asvamedhika-parvan, 14th book of the Mahabharata that deals with the asvamedha (horse sacrifice) conducted by Yudhishthira, a rite that stems from the Vedic period.

Like the Bhagavad-Gita, the Anugita is a discourse between Krishna and Arjuna, an "after-song" in which Krishna gives a fuller unfolding of teaching with many mystical allusions.

Parvan: Spiritual - Theosophy Dictionary on Airavata

Airavata (Sanskrit) (from iravat moisture-possessing from ira drink, food)

Son of Iravati; a vast elephant produced at the churning of the ocean and appropriated by the god Indra. When seated upon Airavata, Indra blesses the earth with rain, i.e., with the water that is drawn up by Airavata from the underworld. According to the Matangalila, Airavata was born when Brahma sang over the halves of the shell from which Garuda hatched, followed by seven more male and eight female elephants.

In the Mahabharata (Adi-parvan, ch 66) Airavata guards the eastern zone. Four such "elephants" (sometimes eight, each with its sakti or feminine potency) uphold the structure of the earth. The mighty four-tusked Airavata, therefore, represents one of the lokapalas (world protectors) -- called by Buddhists maharajas (great kings) -- which are the guardians and supporters of the universe. They are also mystically connected with the lipikas, the eternal karmic scribes. In the Bhagavad-Gita (10:2, 7) Krishna, in naming his divine manifestations, says that among elephants he is Airavata.
