Ayurveda (science of life)
Aṅganā (अङ्गना) is a synonym for Priyaṅgu, which is a Sanskrit name for a medicinal plant (Callicarpa macrophylla). It is a technical term used throughout Ayurvedic literature such as the Caraka-saṃhitā and the Suśruta-saṃhitā. This synonym was identified by Amarasiṃha in his Amarakośa (a Sanskrit botanical thesaurus from the 4th century). It is also mentioned as a synonym in the Bhāvaprakāśa-nighaṇṭu (medicinal thesareus) authored by Bhāvamiśra 16th century, in which it is listed as Aṅganāpriyā.
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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
1) Aṅgana (अङ्गन) refers to the “(sacrificial) yard”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.35. Accordingly, as Viṣṇu said to Dakṣa:—“[...] here, Vīrabhadra, the chief of Rudra’s attendants, who suppresses all his enemies and who is born of the fire of Rudra’s anger has now come to the sacrificial yard [viz., aṅgana]. There is no doubt in this that he has come for destroying us. There is nothing impossible for him to do, whatever it may be really”.
2) Aṅgaṇa (अङ्गण) refers to the “courtyards (of a city)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.31 (“Description of Śiva’s magic”).—Accordingly, as the Seven Sages said amongst each other (when arriving at Himavatpura city): “This city seems to be better than Alakā, heaven, Bhogavatī and even Amarāvatī. The houses are beautiful and well-built. The courtyards (aṅgaṇa) are well laid out and paved with different kinds of crystals and jewels of variegated colours. Slabs of solar and lunar stones are found in every house. Different kinds of celestial trees are also growing here. [...]”.
3) Aṅganā (अङ्गना) refers to “women ”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.5 (“The Tripuras are fascinated).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “O sage, addressing the lord of the Asuras and the citizens thus, the sage with his disciples spoiled the Vedic rites in a determined manner. [...] The women of the three cities (tripura-aṅganā) who were hitherto devotedly attached to their husbands were deluded and misguided and they abandoned their noble inclinations to serve their husbands. [...]”.
Aṅganā (अङ्गना).—Wife of Vāmana, the elephant.*
- * Brahmāṇḍa-purāṇa III. 7. 339.

The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Vastushastra (architecture)
Aṅganā (अङ्गना) refers to “temples made of wood”, as discussed in chapter 34 of the Viṣvaksenasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 2800 Sanskrit verses dealing with theological matters, image-worship, iconography (relating to pratimā-icons) and the construction of temples.—Description of the chapter [prāsāda-lakṣaṇa]: Viṣvaksena thereupon names and briefly describes five types of vimāna-structures—mandara, nividha, nāgara, drāvila, vesara (22-30). A further , different classification is according to materials used—a pauruṣa-type being of mixed brick and stone; a napuṃsaka type being a mixture of stone, brick and wood; and an aṅganā-type being simply a wooden structure (31-32).
1) Aṅgaṇa (अङ्गण) [or aṅkaṇa] refers to “enclosure, courtyard §§ 5.5,6,16.”.—(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.
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Aṅganā (अङ्गना) refers to “women ”, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 5), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “If the sun and moon should begin to be eclipsed when only half risen, deceitful men will suffer as well as sacrificial rites. [...] If they should be eclipsed when in the sign of Gemini (Mithuna), chaste women [i.e., pravara-aṅganā], princes, powerful petty chiefs, learned men, people living on the banks of the Yamunā and the rulers of Bahlikā and Matsya with their subjects will suffer miseries. If they should be eclipsed when in the sign of Cancer (Karka) the Ābhīras, the Śabaras, the Pallavas, the Mallas, the Matsyas, the Kurus, the Śakas, the Pāñcālas and the Vikalās will be afflicted with miseries and food grains will be destroyed”.
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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Aṅganā (अङ्गना) refers to “she who is a member (of a good family)”, according to the Lalitāsahasranāma.—Lalitā’s thousand names are eulogized in the Lalitāsahasranāma, describing the goddess’s spiritual beauty on the analogy of physical, sensuous beauty. [...] Like Kubjikā, Lalitā is a Kaula goddess and several names celebrate her connection with Kula and reflect the subtle balance between the sexuality and chastity of the goddess. As a ‘kula-aṅganā’ (92), she is a ‘woman of good family’ which means that she is devoted to her consort (pativratā), Parameśiva. It also means that she is his partner in the Kaula rite of union they celebrate perpetually. She is established in the Kula (kulāntasthā) (93).
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.
Kavya (poetry)
Aṅgaṇa (अङ्गण) refers to a “courtyard”, according to Bāṇa’s Kādambarī (p. 225).—Accordingly, “[Then through the main entrance (of Caṇḍikā), the temple yard:] Her courtyard was adorned (vibhūṣita-aṅgaṇa) with thickets of red aśoka trees, the spaces between the branches of which were made gapless by flocks of perching red cockerels, [trees] which appeared to reveal unseasonal clusters of blooms in their fear”
Dvāradeśa (द्वारदेश) refers to the “courtyard” (of the “temple-grounds”), according to Bāṇa’s depiction of the Caṇḍikā temple in his 7th century Kādambarī: a Sanskrit Kathā (poem) dealing revolving around the love story between prince Candrāpīḍa and the celestially beautiful princess Kādambarī.—Candrāpīḍa and his army come across the temple in the forest on their way from the Kailāsa mountain, the residence of his beloved Kādambarī, to Ujjayinī, where he was summoned to by his father Tārāpīḍa. Progressively advancing towards the inner parts of the temple area, the narrator provides a detailed description of the site and its central image of the goddess Caṇḍikā. The temple area is enclosed by an ivory fence, and its entrance is framed by an iron archway. Ashoka trees flower in the courtyard (aṅgaṇa) that comprises an area referred to as uddeśa, possibly a forecourt. [...]
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’.
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Aṅganā (अङ्गना) refers to a “woman” (seeing which does not provoke attachment for a wise man), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] There is no attachment in the heart of a wise man whether he sees or pays homage to a learned Brahmin, a celestial being, a holy place, a woman (aṅganā), a king or a friend. [śrotriyaṃ devatāṃ tīrthamaṅganāṃ bhūpatiṃ priyam] A yogi is not in the least put out even when humiliated by the ridicule of servants, sons, wives, grandchildren or other relatives. [...]”.
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)
Aṅganā (अङ्गना) refers to a “woman”, according to the Guru-maṇḍala-arcana [i.e., “Guru Mandala Worship]” 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, “In the Mandala, an obscured Himalaya, abiding seated in lotus posture, [..] a universal vajra, half moon and sun on the head, destroying darkness, bright, destroying great fear, lord of the seat of the flaming vajra and bell, the semen of two divinities granted, secret non-dual knowledge, clasping a woman (aṅganā-āliṅgana) in a natural state of emptiness, [...] a helper for crossing over together, the dreadful wilderness of saṃsāra, routing Māra, Śrī Vajrasattva, homage”.
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)
Aṅganā (अङ्गना) refers to “women”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Travelling living beings, fettered very tightly by numerous chains such as women (aṅganā—aṅganādimahāpāśaiḥ), etc., fall into a deep pit of darkness called life”.
Synonyms: Strī, Yoṣit, Kalatra, Vallabha, Rāma.
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.
