In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Alli (“water lilly”) refers to one of the several “attributes” (āyudha) or “accessories” of a detiy commonly seen depicted in Hindu iconography, defined according to texts dealing with śilpa (arts and crafs), known as śilpaśāstras.—The śilpa texts have classified the various accessories under the broad heading of āyudha or karuvi (implement), including even flowers, animals, and musical instruments. The flowers held in the hands of the deities are, for example, Alli.
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.
Kavya (poetry)
Āli (आलि) refers to (1) “a ridge or mound of earth crossing ditches or dividing fields” or (2) a “causeway” or a “bridge” (e.g., rāmāli, ‘Rāma’s Bridge’, i.e., Setubandha). In Assamese Āli is used in the first sense and means also “a road”.
Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.
Ayurveda (science of life)
Kalpa (Formulas, Drug prescriptions and other Medicinal preparations)
Ali (अलि) [or Aḷi] is another name for “Bhṛṅgarāja” and is dealt with in the 15th-century Yogasārasaṅgraha (Yogasara-saṅgraha) by Vāsudeva: an unpublished Keralite work representing an Ayurvedic compendium of medicinal recipes. The Yogasārasaṃgraha [mentioning ali] deals with entire recipes in the route of administration, and thus deals with the knowledge of pharmacy (bhaiṣajya-kalpanā) which is a branch of pharmacology (dravyaguṇa).
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.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Āḻi or Nakari refers to one of the 108 Vaishnava Divya Desam (divyadeśas or divyasthalas), located in the topographical division of Cōḻanāṭu (“Chola country”), according to the 9th century Nālāyirativviyappirapantam (shortly Nālāyiram).—Tradition would record the Vaiṣṇava divyadeśas or divyasthalas are 108. The divyadeśa is a base of the cult of Viṣṇu in Viṣṇuism [Vaiṣṇavism] tradition. The list of 108 [viz., Āḻi] seems to have reached maturation by about the early 9th century CE as all the deśas are extolled in the hymns of the twelve Āḻvārs.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
1) Ali (अलि) refers to “liquor”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] One should make a level canopy [i.e., maṇḍapa] measuring sixteen (handspans) in a frightening forest, [...] O fair-faced one, one should then smear that place with the dung of a brown cow mixed with liquor [i.e., ali]. (The place) should abound with the fragrance of perfumed water and be fumigated with sandalwood and aloe. There, one should fashion twenty-four circles. One should fashion them in groups of six in the east, north, west, and south in the sequence in which worship takes place (of the sacred seats)”.
2) Ali (अलि) refers to one of the eight Servants (ceṭa-aṣṭaka) associated with Jālandhara (which is in the southern quarter), according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—[...] The eight servants (ceṭāṣṭaka): Ali, Cīvara, Raktākṣa, Kṛṣṇa, Pakṣa, Khāṭaka, Somāda, Dhūmaka.
3) Ali (अलि) is the name of a Prince associated with the Pīṭha named Devikoṭṭa, according to the Kulakriḍāvatāra, a text paraphrased by Abhinavagupta in his Tāntrāloka.—The lineage (ovalli) Ānanda is associated with the following:—Prince: Ali; Master: Śṛṅgālamuni; Pīṭha: Devīkoṭṭa; Ghara (house): Pulinda; Pallī (village): Aḍavī; Town: Balahoma; Direction: east; Grove: Pāya; Vow-time: 7 years; Mudrā: right ring; Chummā: “Heart”.
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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
1) Āli (आलि) refers to a “flock” (of swans), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.7.—Accordingly, after the Goddess (Umā/Śivā) incarnated as Pārvatī by becoming the daughter of Menā:—“[...] O sage, the goddess Śivā when the suitable time for her education arrived learnt all the lores from a good preceptor, with concentrated mind and great pleasure. Just as the flock of swans [i.e., haṃsa-āli] returns to the Gaṅgā in the autumnal season and just as the brilliant lustre manifests itself in the medicinal herbs during the night, so also all the learning of the previous birth returned to Kālī. O sage, thus I have described one of the divine sports of Śivā. I shall narrate another one of her divine sports. You listen to it lovingly”.
2) Ali (अलि) refers to “beer” (“liquor”), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Viṣṇu: “[...] O Indra, a man attains downfall even by conversing with a sensuous person. Great preceptors say that worldly enjoyment is a bitter beer mixed with sugar [i.e., sita-ali—sitāliteṃdravāruṇīm]. Although I know and realise all these, although I have specific wisdom yet I shall accede to your request and make it fruitful. I am definitely subservient to my devotees. Hence I may do everything. I am known all over the three worlds as one who performs ill fitting things. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Ālī (आली) is the name of a deity, according to the Ṭīkā Pot Worship [i.e., Kalaśapūjā] ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi, which refers to the primary pūjā and sādhanā practice of Newah Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhists in Nepal.—Accordingly, “Oṃ Jambhanī, Stambhanī, Mohanī, and Ākarṣaṇī, All works (are) thus a success, by your power of infatuation, Standing in an archer’s pose, with a beautiful flaming crown, Ālī and Kālī united [i.e., ālīkālīsamāyogaṃ], Śrī Saṃvara, the supreme being”.
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.
Chinese Buddhism
[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
阿梨 [a li]—(Ālí)—[Botany] Name of a tree. The Dhāraṇī Chapter (陀羅尼品 [tuo luo ni pin]) of the Lotus Sūtra (法華經 [fa hua jing]) states: "His head will split into seven parts, like the branches of an Ālí tree (樹 [shu])." Volume 3 of the Mingyi Collection (名義集 [ming yi ji]) says: "Its branches resemble orchid branches, and when they fall, they invariably split into seven parts." In Volume 1 of the Peacock Sūtra (孔雀經 [kong que jing]) translated by Yijing (義淨 [yi jing]), it says: "His head will split into seven parts, like an orchid blossom (蘭香蕱 [lan xiang shao])." The same commentary notes: "In Sanskrit, it is called Andūka-mañjari (頞杜迦曼折利 [e du jia man zhe li]). Andūka (頞杜迦 [e du jia]) means orchid fragrance, and Mañjari (曼折利 [man zhe li]) means blossom/head. The old saying 'Ālí tree branches (樹枝 [shu zhi])' resulted from an unfamiliarity with the original pronunciation and a misunderstanding of the actual object, leading to prolonged confusion. There is no Ālí tree in the West [India]." Sanskrit: Andūka-mañjari.
阿梨—【植物】木名。法華經陀羅尼品曰：「頭破作七分，如阿梨樹枝。」名義集三曰：「其枝似蘭枝，若落時必為七分。」義淨譯之孔雀經上曰：「頭破為七分，猶如蘭香蕱。」同註曰：「梵云頞杜迦曼折利，頞杜迦，蘭香也。曼折利，蕱頭也。舊云阿梨樹枝者，既不善本音，復不識其事，故致久迷。西方無阿梨樹也。」梵 Andūka－mañjari。

Chinese Buddhism (漢傳佛教, hanchuan fojiao) is the form of Buddhism that developed in China, blending Mahayana teachings with Daoist and Confucian thought. Its texts are mainly in Classical Chinese, based on translations from Sanskrit. Major schools include Chan (Zen), Pure Land, Tiantai, and Huayan. Chinese Buddhism has greatly influenced East Asian religion and culture.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Ālī (आली) refers to a “line (of waves)”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “A line of waves in a river (sarit-taraṅga-ālī) that has gone somewhere also returns but not for men the handsome form, strength, charm [and] gracefulness that has gone”.
Synonyms: Āvalī.
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
Āli.—(Chamba), wet land, irrigable land; also called kohlī. Note: āli 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.
