In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramDāvāgni (दावाग्नि) refers to a “forest fire”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā. Accordingly, “The Lord Uḍu is in (the sacred seat of) Oṃkāra, in which (the Goddess) called Vakrikā was established during the Kṛta Age. (She) sings the Ṛgveda (there) on the surface of the earth and is Kālikā who is called Raktā. (She is) the Command, the awakened consciousness that is (powerful like) a forest fire [i.e., dāvāgni-bodha]. She who is the venerable Kukārākhyā, called the abode of devotion, wanders in the dense forest of the teachings that is under the authority of the lord Mitra and the rest (of the Siddhas)”.
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.
Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)
Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Dāvāgni (दावाग्नि) refers to a “forest fire”, 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 treatment of hawks]: “In summer, [...] when birds cry out piteously, then the season, like the forest fire (dāvāgni), becomes intolerable to these birds [i.e., hawks], who are accustomed to the valleys of the Himalayas, on which fine slabs of stone lie scattered, cleanly washed by the waterfalls and overgrown with young shoots of emerald-green grass, and where the breezes blow fragrant with the exudation of the pine-trees. Therefore cooling processes should be now resorted to”.
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.
