Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstra1) Adbhuta (अद्भुत) refers to the “marvellous” sentiment (rasa). It is one of the eight rasas mentioned in the Nāṭyaśāstra 6.15. The color associated with the adbhuta is yellow (pīta), and the presiding deity of of the marvellous (adbhuta) sentiment is Brahmā.
According to the Nāṭyaśāstra, “The Marvellous (adbhuta) Sentiment has as its basis the Durable Psychological State of astonishment. It is created by Determinants, such as sight of heavenly beings or events, attainment of desired objects, entry into a superior mansion, temple, audience hall (sabhā), and seven-storied palace and [seeing] illusory and magical acts.”.
2) Adbhutā (अद्भुता, “of wonder”) refers to a specific “glance” (dṛṣṭi), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 8. This is a type of glance that expresses the ‘marvellous sentiment’ (adbhutārasa). There are a total thirty-six glances defined. The Glance in which eyelashes are slightly curved at the end, eyeballs are raised in wonder, and the eyes are charmingly windened till the end, is called the Adbhutā (of wonder).

Source: Shodhganga: Mankhaka a sanskrit literary genius (natya)Adbhuta (अद्भुत) or the “sentiment (rasa) of wonder”.—The sentiment, which grows out of wonder or surprise, while reading or witnessing a supernatural phenomenon, thereby bewildering the mind of the reader or the spectator is termed as the adbhuta. Viśvanātha is of the opinion that vismaya (marvel or wonder) is the sthāyibhāva, which attains the status of adbhutarasa. A Gandharva is its presiding deity. It is alleged by the mythologists to be of gold-coloured. The supernatural elements are its ālambanvibhāvas and the attributes of those elements are uddīpanvibhāvas, in the context of this sentiment. Exclamation, tears, throbbing and horripilation of the body stand as the anubhāvas, in respect to this rasa, while delight, emotion, fortitude etc. appear as the vyabhicāribhāvas.
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)1) Adbhuta (अद्भुत) refers to the “wonderful sentiment” and represents one of the nine kinds of Rasa (“soul of Drama”), 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.—According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, Adbhuta is the sentiment that arises from wonder. Vismaya is the sthāyibhāva of adbhuta-rasa. Pīta i.e., yellow is the colour and Brahma is the god of this sentiment. The Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa states that adbhuta-rasa arises from vīrarasa. According to the Nāṭyaśāstra, this sentiment is projected through some determinates like the sight of heavenly beings, achievement of unexpected things or fulfillment of desires. Moreover, some resultants are used to adopt for conveying this sentiment to the audience. These are-expanded eyes, bristling of hair, horripilation, perspiration and movement of fingers.
2) Adbhutā (अद्भुता) refers to one of the Thirty six kinds of Glances (dṛṣṭi) or “proper accomplishment of glances” (in Indian Dramas).—Dṛṣṭi is very important in a dance form. The appropriate movements of eyes, eyeballs and eyebrows of an artist make the performance more charming. There are thirty six kinds of glances (dṛṣṭi) accepted in the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, for example adbhutā, belonging to the rasadṛṣṭi division.
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).
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAdbhuta (अद्भुत) refers to “mysterious” or “enigmatic/complex”, referring to the form (ākṛti), sports (līlā) and māyā of Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.19. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] then all the Devas and the sages, extremely terrified, began to eulogise Him who was blazing there:—‘[...] Mysterious is your form (adbhut-ākṛti), O lord, and mysterious are your divine sports. Your Māyā is enigmatic and complex (māyā-adbhuta). Everything and everyone except your devotee is deluded by it, O Lord’”.

Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of ŚivaAdbhuta (अद्भुत) or Adbhutāgama refers to one of upāgamas (supplementary scriptures) of the Dīptāgama which is one of the twenty-eight Siddhāntāgama: a classification of the Śaiva division of Śaivāgamas. The Śaivāgamas represent the wisdom that has come down from lord Śiva, received by Pārvatī and accepted by Viṣṇu. The purpose of revealing upāgamas (e.g., Adbhuta Āgama) is to explain more elaborately than that of mūlāgamas (e.g., Dīpta-āgama) and to include any new idea if not dealt in mūlāgamas.
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsAdbhuta (अद्भुत) refers to “extraordinary (intercourse)”, according to the 13th-century Matsyendrasaṃhitā: a Kubjikā-Tripurā oriented Tantric Yoga text of the Ṣaḍanvayaśāmbhava tradition from South India.—Accordingly, “[The Goddess spoke]:—Tell me, O Maheśvara, how should the Yogin sexually approach the one who is called Māyā, who has neither form/beauty nor a clan/noble family/body? [Bhairava spoke]:—Listen to me, O Goddess, I shall teach you the extraordinary intercourse (adbhuta—saṃgam adbhutam) with Māyā. It is fruitful, O Maheśānī, and difficult to learn by others and Yogins without yogic Powers, O Suranāyakī”.
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.
Vastushastra (architecture)
Source: OpenEdition books: Architectural terms contained in Ajitāgama and RauravāgamaAdbhuta (अद्भुत) refers to “n. of a method of calculating the height of the prāsāda § 4.5.”.—(For paragraphs cf. Les enseignements architecturaux de l'Ajitāgama et du Rauravāgama by Bruno Dagens)

Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAdbhuta (अद्भुत) refers to “wonders”, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly:—“She who is the light of fire burnt with the power of the great light and displayed a wonder (adbhuta) by the radiant energy (tejas) of her own power. Then, having seen (this) the goddess said: ‘whose is this auspicious creation? Who is (the god) who has previously made (his) residence here? Who is (the goddess) here who can bear my energy (tejas)?’”.
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.
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)Adbhuta (अद्भुत) or “sentiment of wonder” refers to one of the Nine Sentiments (citrarasa) in ancient Indian 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.—According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa nine kinds of sentiments [e.g., adbhuta—wonder] are reflected through Paintings and these are termed as citrarasas in this work. [...] In the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa it is said that the adbhuta-rasa is manifested through the picture of submissive face of Tārkṣya which is an epithet of Garuḍa and it generates horripilation.
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.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchAdbhuta (अद्भुत) refers to “wonderously”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] Then, by means of an absorption for a period of thirteen days, the best of Yogins attains most wonderously (mahā-adbhuta) the Siddhi of moving in the ether at will. [...]”.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)
Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Adbhuta (अद्भुत) or Adbhutarasa refers to a “feeling of wonder”, according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, [while discussing the outlines of hawking]: “[...] When a Vaharī is thrown at a Stork or a Heron from a great distance, it produces a feeling of wonder (adbhuta) [hi janayatyadbhutaṃ rasam]. What can be more wonderful (adbhuta) than the fall of the quarry from the sky like a mountain with clipped wings and frightened by the sound of swift motion?”.
This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (“performing arts”) and Shastras (“sciences”) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Tibetan Buddhism1) Adbhutā (अद्भुता) is the name of Vidyārājñī (i.e., “wisdom queen”) mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa: one of the largest Kriyā Tantras devoted to Mañjuśrī (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) representing an encyclopedia of knowledge primarily concerned with ritualistic elements in Buddhism. The teachings in this text originate from Mañjuśrī and were taught to and by Buddha Śākyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including Adbhutā).
2) Adbhuta (अद्भुत) is the name of a Pratyekabuddha mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa.
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.
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāAdbhuta (अद्भुत) or Āścaryādbhuta refers to “amazing phenomena”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “By the light of the lion’s throne on which the Lord was seated, the great three-thousand thousands of worlds were illumined with a grand luster. The great three-thousand of worlds, the sun, the moon, the stars, Indras, Brahmas, and the protectors of the world, all of them were eclipsed (dhyāmīkṛta). When that whole assembly of Bodhisattvas saw these miracles, wonders, and amazing phenomena (āścarya-adbhuta), they said to one another: ‘It would not be easy for us to see such an exceptional grandeur as the splendor of these pavilions even if our lifetime would fill an aeon. Thus the virtues (guṇavyūha) of these pavilions are immeasurable’.”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: JAINpedia: JainismAdbhuta (अद्भुत, “wonder”) refers to the “nine sentiments” (navarasa) in poetics and dramaturgy and represents one of the topics dealt with in the Anuyogadvārasūtra : a technical treatise on analytical methods, a kind of guide to applying knowledge.—In Muni Puṇyavijaya’s words, “the Nandi which is of the form of five Jñānas serves as a mangala in the beginning of the study of the Āgamas; and the Anuyogadvāra-sūtra serves as a key to the understanding of the Āgamas”.
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.

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.
