context information

The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.

Sumatī (सुमती, “devotional”) refers to one of the sixteen words that together make up the elā musical composition (prabandha), according to the Saṅgītaśiromaṇi 67-84. Elā is an important subgenre of song and was regarded as an auspicious and important prabandha (composition) in ancient Indian music (gāndharva). According to nirukta analysis, the etymological meaning of elā can be explained as follows: a represents Viṣṇu, i represents Kāmadeva, la represents Lakṣmī.

Sumatī is one of the sixteen words of elā and has a presiding deity named medinī (the earth) defined in the Saṅgītaśiromaṇi (“crest-jewel of music”), which is a 15th-century Sanskrit work on Indian musicology (gāndharvaśāstra).

Source: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literature

Sumatī (सुमती) is the alternative name of a Sanskrit metre (chandas) mentioned by Hemacandra (1088-1173 C.E.) in his auto-commentary on the second chapter of the Chandonuśāsana. Sumatī corresponds to Bhramarī (according to Bharata). Hemacandra gives these alternative names for the metres by other authorities (like Bharata), even though the number of gaṇas or letters do not differ.

context information

Chandas (छन्दस्) refers to Sanskrit prosody and represents one of the six Vedangas (auxiliary disciplines belonging to the study of the Vedas). The science of prosody (chandas-shastra) focusses on the study of the poetic meters such as the commonly known twenty-six metres mentioned by Pingalas.

Kavya (poetry)

Source: Wisdom Library: Kathāsaritsāgara

1) Sumati (सुमति) is the name of a minister (mantrin) of king Ugrabhaṭa from Rāḍhā, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 74. Accordingly, as a Brāhman said to Bhīmabhaṭa: “... your mother the queen Manoramā, and the chaplain Yajuḥsvāmin, and Sumati, the minister of your father, send you the following advice at this juncture;...”.

2) Sumati (सुमति) is the minister (mantrin) of Mahendrāditya, a world-conquering king (jagajjayin) from Avanti, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 120. Accordingly, as sage Kaṇva narrated to Naravāhanadatta: “... and that king [Mahendrāditya] had a great minister named Sumati, and a warder named Vajrāyudha, in whose family the office was hereditary. With these the king remained ruling his realm, propitiating Śiva, and ever bearing various vows in order to obtain a son”.

The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story’), mentioning Sumati, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Naravāhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the vidyādharas (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Guṇāḍhya’s Bṛhatkathā consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

Sumati (सुमति) is the name of a Bodhisattva, according to the Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter XLVI.—Accordingly, “thus the Bodhisattva Siu-mo-t’i (Sumati), in the Ts’in language “Good Intellect”, seeing the Buddha Jan-teng (Dīpaṃkara) and having nothing to offer him, set out to look everywhere. Seeing a seller of flowers, he bought five blue lotus flowers (nīlotpala) for five hundred gold pieces (kārṣāpaṇa) and offered him the flowers”. Such Bodhisattvas who would meet a Buddha and would wish to honor him were very upset if they did not have any offerings.

The teachings in this text originate from Mañjuśrī and were taught to and by Buddha Śākyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including Sumatī).

Source: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist Iconography

Sumati (सुमति) refers to one of the twelve Dhāriṇīs according to the 11th-century Niṣpannayogāvalī of Mahāpaṇḍita Abhayākara.—Dhāriṇī is a peculiar kind of Buddhist literature which is supposed to generate great mystic power if repeated continually for a long time. They are short works mostly composed of meaningless syllables, sometimes revealing traces of a language now defunct. [...] The deification of books is not unknown in Buddhism. [...] The Niṣpannayogavālī acknowledges altogether twelve Dhāriṇī (viz., Sumati) deities and gives their descriptions. These Dhāriṇīs look alike when represented and they are usually two-armed, holding the Viśvavajra in the right hand and their special symbols in the left.

Sumatī is described in the Niṣpannayogāvalī (dharmadhātuvāgīśvara-maṇḍala) as follows:—

“Sumatī is yellow in colour and holds in her left hand the ears of corn”.

[Her Colour is yellow; her Symbol is ears of corn; she has two arms.—When conceived in the form of deities, the Dhāriṇīs (viz., Sumatī) are endowed with one face and two arms. They all hold in their right hand the double thunderbolt or the viśvavajra, while in the left they carry their own special symbols.]

context information

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.

In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism

1) Sumati (सुमति):—The fifth Tīrthaṅkara (Janism recognizes 24 such teachers or Siddhas). He is also known as Sumatinātha. His colour is gold (kāñcana), according to Aparājitapṛcchā (221.5-7). His height is 300 dhanuṣa (a single dhanuṣa (or, ‘bow’) equals 6 ft), thus, roughly corresponding to 549 meters. His emblem, or symbol, is a Goos.

Sumati’s father is Megha according to Śvetāmbara but Meghaprabha according to Digambara and his mother is Maṅgalā. It is an ancient Jain practice to worship the Tīrthaṅkara’s parents in various rites, such as the pratiṣṭhāvidhi, according to the Ācāradinakara (14th century work on Jain conduct written by Vardhamāna Sūri).

2) Sumati (सुमति) is the name of a kulakara (law-giver) according to the Jambūdvīpaprajñapti (a Śvetāmbara text).

Sumati is also listed as the wife of Vimalavāhana (another kulakara) according to Digambara sources, while Śvetāmbara names his wife as Sumati.

The kulakaras (similair to the manus of the Brahmanical tradition) figure as important characters protecting and guiding humanity towards prosperity during ancient times of distress, whenever the kalpavṛkṣa (wishing tree) failed to provide the proper service. These law-givers and their wifes (e.g., Sumati) are listed in various Jain sources, such as the Bhagavatīsūtra and Jambūdvīpaprajñapti in Śvetāmbara, or the Tiloyapaṇṇatti and Ādipurāṇa in the Digambara tradition.

1) Sumati (सुमति) or Sumatinātha refers to the fifth of the twenty-four Tīrthaṅkaras praised in the first book (ādīśvara-caritra) [chapter 1] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly, “[...] we worship the Arhats, who at all times and all places purify the people of the three worlds by their name, representation, substance, and actual existence. [...] May the Blessed Sumati Svāmin, whose toe-nails are sharpened on the whetstone of the gods’ diadems, grant your desires”.

Sumati is the son of Megha and Maṅgalā, according to chapter 3.3, “[...] Since his mother’s mind was brilliant while he was in her womb, his father gave the Master the name Sumati. Cherished by nurses appointed by Indra the Lord of the World passed his childhood and attained youth. Three hundred bows tall, broad-shouldered, with branches in the form of arms hanging to his knees, the Lord looked like a living kalpa-tree”.

2) Sumati (सुमति) is the name of a minister of king Jvalanajaṭin, according to chapter 4.1 [śreyāṃsanātha-caritra].

3) Sumati (सुमति) is the daughter of Viratā (and Aparājita?), according to chapter 5.2 [śāntinātha-caritra].—Accordingly:—“Enjoying manifold pleasures, Śārṅgadhara (=Anantavīrya?) and Sīridhara (=Aparājita?) passed the time, immersed in bliss like gods. Baladeva had a wife, Viratā, and a daughter, Sumati, originated in her womb Even from childhood, she followed the religion taught by the Omniscient, knowing the Principles, jīva, ajīva, etc, rich in the performance of penance. Observing the twelve lay-vows unbroken, she was always occupied with pūjās to the Arhats and service to gurus. [...]”.

4) Sumati (सुमति) refers to one of the daughters of king Nihataśatru, according to chapter 5.4 [śāntinātha-caritra].—Accordingly:—“[...] At an auspicious time the king (i.e., Nihataśatru) married properly his elder daughters, Priyamitrā and Manoramā, to Megharatha. Dṛḍharatha, whose lotus-feet were cleansed by the king, married the third daughter, the youngest, Sumati. When the weddings had been properly celebrated with great magnificence, dismissed respectfully by the king, they went toward their own city. After they had restored in the same way Surendradatta and his yuvarāj to their own kingdom, they went to their own city. [...]”.

5) Sumati (सुमति) is the minister of king Sumukha from Vatsa, according to chapter 6.7 [śrī-munisuvratanātha-caritra].
