In Hinduism
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Ādāna (आदान) refers to the “collection of revenue/taxes and other dues”. The word is used throughout Dharmaśāstra literature such as the Manusmṛti. (also see the Manubhāṣya verse 7.154)
Dharmashastra (धर्मशास्त्र, dharmaśāstra) contains the instructions (shastra) regarding religious conduct of livelihood (dharma), ceremonies, jurisprudence (study of law) and more. It is categorized as smriti, an important and authoritative selection of books dealing with the Hindu lifestyle.
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
1) Ādāna (आदान, “taking an arrow”) refers to one of the four acts related to the bow (dhanus). It is also known as grahaṇa. It is a Sanskrit technical term defined in the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 11. Accordingly, “taking (grahaṇa) is the pulling out of the arrow”.
2) Ādāna (आदान, “sumning up”) refers to ‘capture’ of the germ of the plot within the actions of the plot. Ādāna represents one of the thirteen vimarśasandhi, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 21. Vimarśasandhi refers to the “segments (sandhi) of the pause part (vimarśa)” and represents one of the five segments of the plot (itivṛtta or vastu) of a dramatic composition (nāṭaka).
Ādāna (आदान).—One of the thirteen elements of the ‘pause segment’ (vimarśasandhi);—(Description:) Bringing together (lit. attaining) all aspects of the Seed (bīja) and the Action, is called Summing up (ādāna).
Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
Ayurveda (science of life)
Ādāna (आदान) refers to “absorption”, mentioned in verse 3.42 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “the (gastric) fire of those whose body has been emaciated by (the period of) absorption [viz., ādāna], though (being already) weak, is (further) weakened during the rains by the humours. These get irritated when the sky is covered with clouds banging down because of their water, (and that)”.
Note: As for details, ādāna (“absorption”) has again been paraphrased by mthu ’phrogs-pa (“absorption of strength”) (cf. 3.2, 4, 17); but this time the reading ’phrogs-pa occurs in all the block-prints. For the instrumental CD have substituted a temporal accusative.
Ādāna (आदान):—Period of time when moisture, unctuousness and strength of the body gets depleted and absorbed by environment by virtue of climate; includes 6 months of winter, spring and summer seasons.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Ādāna (आदान) or Ādānahasta refers to one of the various hand-poses (hastas or mudrās) defined in treatises such as the Pāñcarātra, Pādmasaṃhitā and Vaikhānasa-āgamas, extensively dealing with the technical features of temple art, iconography and architecture in Vaishnavism.—Pallavamudrā resemble Ādāna-hasta in which the palm and finger are slightly bent and the palm faces upward. If the finger are let loose, it appears to be Alapallavamudrā. In the icon of Olayakunnam and of Palani, this [Pallavamudrā] hand is used to hold the lotus.
Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Adāna (अदान) refers to “taking up” (as opposed to Hāna—‘abandoning’), according to the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya verse 7.233cd-236.— Accordingly, “One is established in the sequence of the worship of Kālī that consists of the forceful attainment of the foundation of consciousness, when grasping and rejecting, brought about by the distinction between taking up (adāna) and abandoning, has ceased. (Such a one) who knows reality lights up the Sun of Consciousness (even as) he looks (at it). [...]”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
1) Ādāna (आदान) refers to the “recognition”/“realization”/“apprehension” (of one’s true nature), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] The realm of one's own self is not far away, and nor can it be achieved by the addition of limitations to its nature. It is unimaginable, effortless, unchanging and spotless. By the simple elimination of delusion and the recognition of one's true nature (svarūpa-ādāna) [vyāmohamātraviratau svarūpādānamātrataḥ], those whose vision is unclouded live free from sorrow. [...]”.
2) Ādāna (आदान) refers to “acquisition” (as opposed to Tyāga or “renunciation”), which are to be abandoned by those seeking inner freedom (svāsthya).—Accordingly, [as Janaka says to Aṣṭavakra]: “The inner freedom of having nothing is hard to achieve, even with just a loin-cloth, but I live as I please abandoning both renunciation and acquisition (tyāga-ādāna) [tyāgādāne vihāyāsmādahamāse yathāsukham]. Sometimes one experiences distress because of one's body, sometimes because of one's tongue, and sometimes because of one's mind. Abandoning all of these, I live as I please in the goal of human existence. [...]”.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Adana (अदन) is the name of a Vākchomā (‘verbal secrect sign’) which has its meaning defined as ‘danta’ according to chapter 8 of the 9th-century Vajraḍākamahātantrarāja, a scripture belonging to the Buddhist Cakrasaṃvara (or Saṃvara) scriptural cycle. These Vākchomās (viz., adana) are meant for verbal communication and can be regarded as popular signs, since they can be found in the three biggest works of the Cakrasaṃvara literature.
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)
Ādāna (आदान) refers to the “acquisition” (of karmic material) (of an ascetic), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “That, which is the cessation of the acquisition of karmic material (karman-pudgala-ādāna) of an ascetic, is declared by those whose sins are removed by meditation to be the physical stopping of the influx of karma. That which is evidently cessation of action causing the cycle of rebirth is to be considered as the mental stopping of the influx of karma by those who know about that from the most excellent scripture”.
Synonyms: Grahaṇa.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
India history and geography
Ādāna.—(IE 8-5; EI 12; CII 4), a levy or impost; same as ādāya. Note: ādāna is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
