Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Aṇḍa (अण्ड).—* Sūta, the disciple of Vyāsa said to the Munis at the Naimiśāraṇya about the creation of the Universe: In the beginning in the heavy universal darkness, the first seed of life (aṇḍa) appeared. (Mahābhārata, Ādi Parva, Chapter 1, Verse 28).
*) AṆḌA. The primal seed (Aṇḍa=egg or seed) from which everything was born.
1a) Aṇḍa (अण्ड).—The egg shaped universe; the vyakta-rūpa of Viṣṇu described. See also puruṣa.*
- * Viṣṇu-purāṇa I. 2. 54-60.
1b) Beyond Āloka. Here are the seven continents and earth surrounded by a sea of clouds.1 The golden egglike aṇḍa emerges from Īśvara's seed and attains yoni (prakṛti), the latter being the embodiment of Nārāyaṇa, in a period of a thousand years. It became heaven and earth, ākāśa being in the middle.2 The outside is covered with waters ten times the aṇḍa— covered by tejas,—successively covered by vāyu, by ākāśa, this by bhūtādi; that by mahat and that in turn by avyakta each ten times the mass of its predecessor. These are the seven prakṛtis. avyakta is kṣetra and Brahmā ksetrajña.3 Brahmā born of.4 Like the moon in kumbha rāśi at the commencement of the śukla pakṣa; there are several aṇḍas, each covered by seven characteristics of prakṛti.5

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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
1) Aṇḍa (अण्ड) refers to the “cosmic egg”, as discussed in the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, as the Goddess says to Mahādeva: “O Great God (mahādeva), when the universe, mobile and immobile, was a formless Void there was neither you nor I, neither Brahmā nor Keśava (Viṣṇu), neither the gods nor the world; [...]. The God of the gods, the Supreme Lord without beginning, the agent of the emanation of the radiant energy (to which belongs all that) extends from Brahmā up to the end of the worlds, slept. O Hara, the unmanifest god, generated the Cosmic Egg (aṇḍa). O fair faced one, there in the middle, you and I abided for a cosmic age. [...]”.
2) Aṇḍa (अण्ड) refers to an “egg”, symbolizing the “microcosm” (i.e., the Egg of Brahmā—the universe that is projected into the body), according to Śitikaṇṭha’s Mahānayaprakāśa.—If (consciousness) abides in the Point (bindu) one can drink the nectar of the Moon located above. It is the light of the Abode of the Moon. Achieve repose by the unfolding of the microcosm (aṇḍa-vikāsa). This is the unique and special (quality) of the light of the Abode of the Sun. The digestion (of multiplicity) is the power of the gastric fire of the navel because, even though (this) Fire pervades the entire body, the Violent digestion (haṭhapāka) of diversity takes place in the belly.
Note: The word ‘aṇḍa’ literally means ‘egg’. Presumably, what is meant here is the Egg of Brahmā, i.e. the universe that is projected into the body.
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.
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Aṇḍa (अण्ड) refers to an “egg”, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 1), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “[...] There was darkness (chaos) in the beginning. Then came water (into existence). On it (floated) a golden-coloured egg [i.e., aṇḍa], the (divine) seed consisting of the Earth and the Firmament from which there arose Brahmā, the creative agent with the sun and moon for his eyes. Kapila says that the universe had its origin in pradhāna; Kaṇātha in dravya and the like; a few in kāla (time); others in Svabhāva (nature); and some in karma. [...]”.
Jyotisha (ज्योतिष, jyotiṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy’ or “Vedic astrology” and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas). Jyotisha concerns itself with the study and prediction of the movements of celestial bodies, in order to calculate the auspicious time for rituals and ceremonies.
Ayurveda (science of life)
Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)
Aṇḍa (अण्ड) refers to the “eggs (of snakes)”, as taught in the Nāgajanman (“birth of the Snakes”) section of the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā, which represents the Ayurvedic study on Toxicology (Agadatantra or Sarpavidyā).—The female snakes conceive in the three months following Āṣāḍha month. After an incubation period of four months, tiny sarpas hatch from their eggs (aṇḍa) [tathāpyaṇḍān], measuring five aṅgulas, with red and black coloured heads. They are of three kinds: male, female and neuter.
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
Aṇḍa (अण्ड) refers to the “(cosmic) egg” (from which the creation of the sun took place), according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 1, “on the origin of elephants”]: “21. The creation of elephants (as told in the following) was holy, and for the profit of sacrifice to the Gods, and especially for the welfare of kings. Therefore it is clear that elephants must be zealously tended. The (cosmic) egg (aṇḍa) [aṇḍatas] from which the creation of the sun took place—the Unborn (Creator) took solemnly in his two hands the two gleaming half shells of that egg, exhibited (to him) by the Brahmanical sages, and chanted seven sāmans at once. Thereupon (from one shell) the elephant Airāvata was born, and seven (other) noble elephants (i.e., the eight elephants of the ‘quarters’ or regions) were severally born, through the chanting. [...]”.
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.
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
1) Aṇḍa (अण्ड) refers to a “complex of worlds” (being pervaded by Viṣṇu), as discussed in chapter 12 (Jñānapāda) of the Padmasaṃhitā: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter—jñāna, yoga, kriyā and caryā) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—Description of the chapter [bhuvarlokādi-vistāra]: [...] Encircling all the upper and lower regions are seven coverings of water, of fire, of air, of space, of darkness, etc. Each such complex of worlds is called an “aṇḍa” and the number of these aṇḍas is countless (47). Viṣṇu pervades all of the aṇḍas while yet at the same He is greater than they, and stands beyond them as observer [sākṣī] (48). In this outer-space there are, further, four other regions-each one presided over by one of the four Vyūhas in addition to three others, above which is Nārāyaṇaloka (53).
2) Aṇḍa (अण्ड) refers to the “cosmic worlds” (contained within the Body of Nārāyaṇa), as discussed in chapter 7 of the (second section of the) Bṛhadbrahmasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text containing over 4600 Sanskrit verses dealing primarily with Vaiṣṇava theology and practical matters concerning the Śrī-Vaiṣṇava community but also discussing aspects of Viśiṣṭādvaita philosophy.—Description of the chapter [loka-nirūpaṇa]: [...] The second section of the chapter returns to the theme of cosmography, turning to the other six upper worlds—bhuvarloka, suvarloka, maholoka, janoloką, tapoloka, and satyaloka. [...] The whole is covered by an aṇḍabhitti-shell, and beyond the limits of this cosmic egg there are many other aṇḍa-worlds; and all of these are contained within the Body of Nārāyaṇa Whose extent is beyond calculation. His magnificence and presence are described (128-151).
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Aṇḍa (अण्ड) [?] is the name of a Devaputra appointed as one of the Divine protector deities of Bālukā, according to chapter 17 of the Candragarbha: the 55th section of the Mahāsaṃnipāta-sūtra, a large compilation of Sūtras (texts) in Mahāyāna Buddhism partly available in Sanskrit, Tibetan and Chinese.—In the Candragarbhasūtra, the Bhagavat invites all classes of Gods and Deities to protect the Law [dharma?] and the faithful in their respective kingdoms of Jambudvīpa [e.g., the Devaputra Yang-tch'a (Aṇḍa ?) in Bālukā], resembling the time of the past Buddhas.
Aṇḍa (अण्ड) or Aṇḍaja refers to an “egg” (i.,e., ‘that which is egg-born’), according to the Vajratuṇḍasamayakalparāja, an ancient Buddhist ritual manual on agriculture from the 5th-century (or earlier), containing various instructions for the Sangha to provide agriculture-related services to laypeople including rain-making, weather control and crop protection.—Accordingly, [As the Bhagavān teaches an offering manual]: “[...] All crops, all flowers and fruits will be well protected. [...] Until the stake is driven out all kinds of pests, produced from moist heat, self-produced and egg-born (aṇḍaja), arisen from rocks or flowers, do not prevail. Harm of various sorts caused by Nāgas will not be victorious again. [...]”.
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.
