In Hinduism

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (shaktism)

Tsaṃpadā (त्संपदा) refers to the “(true) affluence (of victorious devotion)”, according to Sāhib Kaul’s Śārikāstrotra.—Accordingly, “[...] My devotion to you nourishes me every day, as the rise of the full moon always nourishes the ocean. On account of the true affluence (sat-saṃpadā) of victorious devotion to you I even ignore the excellent Lakṣmī. The whole world consists of you, Goddess of Gods! Your body is consciousness, you are alone and perfectly established. Nowhere is there ignorance. Thus, where do we see the son of a barren woman run and raise his bow? [...]”.

sampadā : (f) fortune; happiness; success; attainment.

Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary

Sampadā, (f.) (fr. saṃ+pad, cp. BSk. sampadā Divy 401 (devamanuṣya°), also sampatti) 1. attainment, success, accomplishment; happiness, good fortune; blessing, bliss A. I, 38; Pv. II, 947 (=sampatti PvA. 132).—Sampadā in its pregnant meaning is applied to the accomplishments of the individual in the course of his religious development. Thus it is used with sīla, citta, & paññā at D. I, 171 sq. and many other passages in an almost encyclopedic sense. Here with sīla° the whole of the sīlakkhandha (D. I, 63 sq.) is understood; citta° means the cultivation of the heart & attainments of the mind relating to composure, concentration and religious meditation, otherwise called samādhikkhandha. It includes those stages of meditation which are enumerated under samādhi. With paññā° are meant the attainments of higher wisdom and spiritual emancipation, connected with supernormal faculties, culminating in Arahantship and extinction of all causes of rebirth, otherwise called vijjā (see the 8 items of this under vijjā b.). The same ground as by this 3 fold division is covered by the enumeration of 5 sampadās as sīla°, samādhi°, paññā°, vimutti°, vimutti-ñāṇadassana° M. I, 145; Pug. 54; cp. S. I, 139; A. III, 12.

The term sampadā is not restricted to a definite set of accomplishments. It is applied to various such sets besides the one mentioned above. Thus we find a set of 3 sampadās called sīla°, citta° & diṭṭhi° at A. I, 269, where under sīla the Nos. 1—7 of the 10 sīlas are understood (see sīla 2 a), under citta Nos. 8 & 9, under diṭṭhi No. 10. ‹-› sīla & diṭṭhi° also at D. III, 213.—A set of 8 sampadās is given at A. IV, 322 with uṭṭhāna°, ārakkha°, kalyāṇamittatā, sammājīvitā, saddhā°, sīla°, cāga°, paññā°; of which the first 4 are explained in detail at A. IV, 281=322 as bringing wordly happiness, viz. alertness, wariness, association with good friends, right livelihood; and the last 4 as leading to future bliss (viz. faith in the Buddha, keeping the 5 sīlas, liberality, higher wisdom) at A. IV, 284=324. Another set of 5 frequently mentioned is: ñāti°, bhoga°, ārogya°, sīla°, diṭṭhi° (or the blessings, i.e. good fortune, of having relatives, possessions, health, good conduct, right views) representing the “summa bona” of popular choice, to which is opposed deficiency (vyasana, reverse) of the same items. Thus e.g. at A. III, 147; D. III, 235. ‹-› Three sampadās: kammanta°, ājīva°, diṭṭhi, ° i.e. the 7 sīlas, right living (sammā-ājīva), right views A. I, 271.—Another three as saddhā°, sīla°, paññā° at A. I, 287. ‹-› Bdhgh at DhA. III, 93, 94 speaks of four sampadās, viz. vatthu°, paccaya°, cetanā°, guṇâtireka°; of the blessings of a foundation (for merit), ofmeans (for salvation), of good intentions, of virtue (& merit).—A (later) set of seven sampadās is given at J. IV, 96 with āgama°, adhigama°, pubbahetu°, attattha-paripucchā°, titthavāsa°, yoniso — manasikāra°, buddh’ûpanissaya°.—Cp. the following: atta° S. V, 30 sq.; ākappa° A. I, 38; ājīva° A. I, 271; DA. I, 235; kamma° A. IV, 238 sq.; dassana° Sn. 231; nibbāna° Vism. 58; bhoga° (+parivāra°) DhA. I, 78; yāga° ThA. 40 (Ap. V, 7); vijjācaraṇa° D. I, 99. 2. execution, performance; result, consequence; thus yañña° successful performance of a sacrifice D. I, 128; Sn. 505, 509; piṭaka-sampadāya “on the authority of the Piṭaka tradition, ” according to the P.; in exegesis of iti-kira (hearsay) A. I, 189=II. 191=Nd2 151; and of itihītiha M. I, 520=II. 169. (Page 690)
