In Hinduism

Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: Wisdom Library: Kubjikāmata-tantra

Sakalā (सकला):—First of the eight Mātṛs born from the body of Ātmī, according to the Kubjikāmata-tantra. These eight sub-manifestations (mātṛ), including Sakalā, symbolize the different kinds of souls, as well as the impurities by which these souls are bound (except for Niṣkala or Śiva). They are presided over by the Bhairava Caṇḍa and his consort Brāhmī. Ātmī is the second of the Eight Mahāmātṛs, residing within the Mātṛcakra (third of the five cakras) and represents the ātman.

Sakala is a state of objective consciousness. When you look at a flower intently, you become the flower; the self-awareness is gone; the subjectivity dissolves in the object. This is complete objectivity of Sakala state. This is starting point in the fifteen steps in the ascent. You move from Sakala Pramatri of looking at the flower and become aware of yourself, the flower disappears; you remain and become you, the perceiver. The next step is to forget yourself and leave the object (flower) and you behind. [...]

Sakala (सकल) refers to a form of Śiva, according to the Kiraṇatantra chapter 49 (dealing with vratacaryā).—Accordingly, “Garuḍa spoke: ‘You have taught me, O great Lord, the activities of the Neophyte, the Putraka and the Ācārya. Tell me those of the Sādhaka’. The Lord spoke: ‘[...] The highest of the observances is the Raudra-vrata. On accomplishing that, one becomes [equal to] the Sakala [form of Śiva]. For attaining siddhi, the Sādhaka should perform a mantra-observance that is appropriate [to the mantra in question]’”.

Śakala (शकल) refers to the “split (belly)” (of the moon), according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 2.22cd-28ab]—“From this authority, the seventy-million mantras arise. The terminal letter shining with various light, [which is the] split belly of the moon (śaśāṅka-śakala-udara) [j], is placed upon a hook [u], and yoked with the last rising horizon [i.e., the wind or last labial nasalization] [ṃ]. That which is described is celebrated in the world as the supreme Amṛta [sa], this is the highest dwelling place. [...]”.

Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.

Shilpashastra (iconography)

Source: Red Zambala: Hindu Icons and Symbols | Introduction

The material realm (sakala) is a reflection of the transcendental realm (niṣkala).

Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)

Śakala (शकल) refers to the “scales of a fish” and represents one of the various substances used in the process of creating a Canvas, in the ancient Indian art of Painting (citra), according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—Canvas is a kind of surface on which a painter can draw a picture. In ancient time walls are seen to be plastered with different substances (i.e., śakala—scales of a fish) and these were prepared for Painting. [...] In the Mānasollāsa also, lime is prescribed to make a canvas. The mixture, thus prepared for canvas is mixed with vālukā i.e., sand and it should be soaked in water having śakala i.e., the scales of a fish and then the mixture should be kept aside for a month for drying. When the paste is completely dried up, it will be ready for use as plaster and the painters can apply this on a wall according to their necessity.

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopedia

Śākala (शाकल).—A city made famous in the Purāṇas. Once it was the capital of the Madra kingdom. (Sabhā Parva Chapter 32, Verse 14), Modern scholars opine that the modern Siyalkot was the old Śākala.

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Sakala (सकल) and Sakala both refer to epithets of Śiva, as explained in the Śivapurāṇa 1.5.—Accordingly, “Śiva alone is glorified as Niṣkala (nameless and formless) since He is identical with supreme Brahman. He is also Sakala as He has an embodied form. He is both Sakala and Niṣkala. It is in his Niṣkala aspect that the liṅga is appropriate. In the Sakala aspect the worship of his embodied form is appropriate. Since He has the Sakala and Niṣkala aspects He is worshipped both in the phallic and in the embodied form by the people and is called the highest Brahman. Other deities, not being Brahman, have no Niṣkala aspect anywhere”.

Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Śākala (शाकल).—A word frequently used in the Mahabhasya for a grammatical operation or injunction (विधि (vidhi)) which forms a specific feature of the grammar of शाकल्य (śākalya), viz. that the vowels इ, उ,ऋ (i, u, ṛ), and लृ (lṛ) remain without phonetical combination and a shortening of them, if they are long;cf.इको (iko)sसवर्णे शाकल्यस्य ह्रस्वश्च (savarṇe śākalyasya hrasvaśca) P.VI. 1. 127; शाकल्यस्य इदं शाकल्यम् । (śākalyasya idaṃ śākalyam |) ; cf. also M.Bh. on P.VI.1.77, VI.1.125,VI. 1.27;VI.2.52, VII.3.3 and VIII. 2.108; (2) pupils of शाकल्य (śākalya); cf. शाकल्यस्य छात्राः शाकलाः (śākalyasya chātrāḥ śākalāḥ) M.

Kavya (poetry)

Source: Wisdom Library: Kathāsaritsāgara

Śākala (शाकल) is the name of an ancient city in the Madra country, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 44. Accordingly, as Vajraprabha said to Naravāhanadatta: “of old there was in the country of the people of Madra a town named Śākala; Candraprabha, the son of Aṅgāraprabha, was king of it”.

Also “... in that city [Śākala] great rejoicing took place on account of his arrival; in one place there was the occupation of dancing, in another the delight of music; in one place the amusement of drinking, in another the toilet rites of fair-eyed ladies; in another the voice of bards loud in the praise of him [Sūryaprabha] who had obtained what he desired”.

The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story’), mentioning Śākala, 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.

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

Sakala (सकल) refers to “all (the streams of knowledge)”, according to the Vedānta Deśika’s Yatirājasaptati.—When we come to the poem’s understanding of the divinity of Rāmānuja we find a wide spectrum of meanings. [...] Verse 28 is particularly eloquent in describing and encapsulating all his nurturing and protecting qualities, which are compared to those present everywhere in nature itself—as the mountain from which originate all the streams of knowledge (sakala-vidyā), the tree under which the weary traveler wandering in saṃsāra takes rest, the rising sun that keeps the illusionary darkness of those with distorted views at bay and the full moon that brings to high tide the ocean of the Vedas.

context information

Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord.

Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)

Śakala (शकल) refers to “filtering (of juices)” (in a cloth), according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—Kāśyapa prescribes various antidotes to quell the poison by administering them through nasal drugs, collyrium, ointment, herbal drinks and diet. According to Kāśyapasaṃhitā (verse VIII.16)—“The juice of Katakāsthi filterd in a cloth (vastra-śakala) and treated nasally also kills poison. It can be used to massage the victim”.

Sakala (सकल) refers to “all” (the rules of conduct for a mendicant), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Glory to the great tree that is stopping the influx of karma whose opponent is conquered, which is rooted in all the rules of conduct for a mendicant (sakala-samiti-mūla), whose great trunk is restraint, whose full branches are tranquillity, which is covered with the blossom of virtue [and] is beautiful because of producing whole fruit through the reflections. [Thus ends the reflection on] stopping the influx of karma”.
