In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Dhāmā (धामा):—One of the twelve guṇas associated with Randhra, the first seat of the Svādhiṣṭhāna-chakra. According to tantric sources such as the Śrīmatottara-tantra and the Gorakṣasaṃhitā (Kādiprakaraṇa), these twelve guṇas are represented as female deities. According to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā however, they are explained as particular syllables. They (e.g. Dhāmā) only seem to play an minor role with regard to the interpretation of the Devīcakra (first of five chakras, as taught in the Kubjikāmata-tantra).
Dhāman (धामन्) or Paramadhāma refers to the “(highest) abode” (of Śiva), according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 2.22cd-28ab]—“[...] That which is described is celebrated in the world as the supreme Amṛta [sa], this is the highest dwelling place (dhāma—etat tat paramaṃ dhāma). It is the highest Amṛta. Joined with the kalā nectar [visarga], filled with the splendor of the moon. It is the highest abode [of Śiva] (dhāma—etat tat paramaṃ dhāma). That is the supreme word. That is supreme strength, that is supreme amṛta. The highest of splendors is highest light of light. [...]”.
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)
Dhāma (धाम) is a Sanskrit technical term denoting a “residence” in general, according to the lists of synonyms given in the Mayamata XIX.10-12 and the Mānasāra XIX.108-12, both populair treatises on Vāstuśāstra literature.
Dhāman (धामन्) refers to “temple, chapel § 4.2.”.—(For paragraphs cf. Les enseignements architecturaux de l'Ajitāgama et du Rauravāgama by Bruno Dagens)
Vastushastra (वास्तुशास्त्र, vāstuśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions. Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Dhāmā (धामा).—A hermit who protected Gaṅgā-Mahādvāra. (Mahābhārata, Udyoga Parva, Chapter 111, Stanza 17).
Dhāman (धामन्) refers to “abode” (viz., of Śiva), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.20. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] with these, his wife and his attendants Śiva reached his abode (dhāman) in the beauteous surroundings of the Himālayas with very great delight. After reaching his abode Śiva honoured the Devas and the great sages and then bade farewell to them with respect. Taking leave of Śiva eulogising and bowing to Him, Viṣṇu, as also the Gods and sages with joyful beaming faces returned to their respective abodes (dhāman)”.
Dhāma (धाम) refers to “abode” (residence), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.14 (“The Birth of Tāraka and Vajrāṅga”).—Accordingly, after Vajrāṅga spoke to Brahmā: “On hearing that, O sage, I said—‘Sāttvika feelings constitute the essence of real philosophy. I shall lovingly create an exquisite lady’. After offering her who was named Varāṅgī, to that son of Diti, I went to my abode [i.e., sva-dhāma] in great delight. So also Kaśyapa, his father. Thereafter the demon eschewed his diabolical feelings and resorted to sublime thoughts. Since he was free from fiendish feelings he became happy. [...]”.
1) Dhama (धम).—A son of Śivadatta.*
- * Brahmāṇḍa-purāṇa III. 35. 12.
2a) Dhāma (धाम).—Came out of the eyes of Atri: her son was Soma.*
- * Matsya-purāṇa 23. 6-8. Vāyu-purāṇa 62. 41.
2b) An Amitābha God.*
- * Brahmāṇḍa-purāṇa II. 36. 53.
2c) A sage of the Tāmasa epoch.*
- * Viṣṇu-purāṇa III. 1. 18.
Dhāmā (धामा) is a name mentioned in the Mahābhārata (cf. I.61.56) and represents one of the many proper names used for people and places. Note: The Mahābhārata (mentioning Dhāmā) is a Sanskrit epic poem consisting of 100,000 ślokas (metrical verses) and is over 2000 years old.
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.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Dhāma (धाम) refers to “abode of Śrī Bhagavān in which He appears and enacts His divine pastimes”. (cf. Glossary page from Śrīmad-Bhagavad-Gītā).
Dhāma (धाम) refers to:—A holy place of pilgrimage; the abode of the Supreme Lord, where He appears and enacts His transcendental pastimes. (cf. Glossary page from Bhajana-Rahasya).
Dhāma (धाम) refers to:—The Lord’s abode. (cf. Glossary page from Śrī Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta).
Dhāman (धामन्) refers to the “(threefold) splendour”, according to the Vedānta Deśika’s Yatirājasaptati.—When we come to the poem’s understanding of the divinity of Rāmānuja we find a wide spectrum of meanings. [...] Verse 27 lauds Rāmānuja as the aggregation of the threefold splendour (saṃvalita-tri-dhāman) of Agni (śikhāvat), the moon (auṣadhīśa) and the sun (tāpana). In verse 32 Rāmānuja is seen as having the same capacity to offer protection to the world as Viṣvaksena, with the latter’s cane staff transformed into his ascetic’s rod.
Dhāma (धाम) refers to—Transcendental abode.
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)
Dhāman (धामन्) refers to an “abode”, according to the Jayadrathayāmala verse 3.11.40.—Accordingly, “The Kālī of menses who resounds in the abode of the triangle [i.e., trikoṇa-dhāman] with three parts which is (always) in menses in the three times is Nityaklinnā who makes the beautiful sound (of consciousness)”.
Ḍhāmā (ढामा) refers to one of the “thousand names of Kumārī”, as mentioned in the Kumārīsahasranāma, which is included in the 10th chapter of the first part (prathamabhāga) of the Rudrayāmala-Uttaratantra: an ancient Tantric work primarily dealing with the practice of Kuṇḍalinī-yoga, the worship of Kumārī and discussions regarding the Cakras. This edition is said to be derived of the Rudrayāmalatantra and consists of 6000 verses in 90 chapters (paṭalas) together with the Saralā-Hindīvyākhyopetam (i.e., the Rudrayamalam Uttaratantram with Sarala Hindi translation).—Ḍhāmā is mentioned in śloka 1.10.74.—The chapter notes that one is granted the rewards obtained by reciting the text even without the performance of pūjā (worship), japa, snāna (bathing) and puraścaryā
Dhāman (धामन्) refers to the “abode” (where one never suffers again), according to Sāhib Kaul’s Śārikāstrotra.—Accordingly, “[...] He who recites after that syllable your name, Śārikā, followed by namaḥ, attains forever to that abode (dhāman) where, when reached, one never suffers again. I praise you; it is you in whom I take refuge. I serve the Goddess alone, the one power of all (powers). I utter my noisy stammering to you; I contemplate (you) who are everything, suitable for all, and everywhere. [...]”.
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.
General definition (in Hinduism)
Dhāman (धामन्) denotes in the Rigveda and later ‘dwelling’ and ‘house’, or sometimes its inmates. The word is also found in the sense of ‘ordinance’, ‘ law’, expressing much the same as Dharman, especially in conjunction with Ṛta, ‘eternal order’. Hillebrandt sees in one passage the sense of Nakṣatra.

Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
