In Hinduism
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Duṣkṛta (दुष्कृत) refers to “evil deeds”, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 2), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “[...] The evils of bad dreams, of sad thoughts, of ill omens and of evil deeds [i.e., duṣkṛta] and the like will vanish immediately when one hears of the moon’s motion among the stars. Neither the father nor the mother nor the relations nor friends of a prince will desire so much his well being and that of his subjects as a true Jyotiṣaka”.
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)
Duṣkṛta (दुष्कृत) refers to “evil deeds”, 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 offering of libation gives accomplishment and destroys sin and evil deeds [i.e., duṣkṛta]. The ancestors are helped and one clearly attains the merit one desires”.
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.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Duṣkṛta (दुष्कृत) refers to the “bad (portions of karma)”, according to the Mṛgendrāgama Kriyāpāda verse 8.6-7.—Accordingly, “The śivadharmiṇī [initiation] is the root of success for the fruits of the Śaiva religion for the individual soul. There is another [kind of śivadharmiṇī] taught without the destruction of the body, up until the dissolution of the world. The remaining one is taught to be the lokadharmiṇī, for the purpose of [attaining the eight-fold supernatural powers] starting with aṇimā after the current life, after all the bad portions (duṣkṛta-aṃśa) [of karma] were destroyed at all reality levels”.
Duṣkṛta (दुष्कृत) refers to “bad deeds”, according to the Pātravidhi—a manual of the Lakulīśa Pāśupata school of Śaivism dealing with purification of the initiate’s vessel (pātra) and other concerned issues.—Accordingly, “If flawless but unlawful alms are obtained without begging, a Yogin should reject them and go begging for alms unplanned. (22) Prajāpati has regarded the alms ladled out [at home by a householder] and brought [to an ascetic] which are not announced in advance as acceptable even if they belonged to those who committed bad deeds (duṣkṛta-karman). (23)
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.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Duṣkṛta (दुष्कृत) refers to “evil actions”, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 46.—Accordingly, “The Bodhisattva invites beings to practice generosity:—Poverty (dāridrya) is a great suffering but it is not out of poverty that one commits evil actions (duṣkṛta) and falls into the bad destinies. It is by committing evil actions that one falls into the three bad destinies from which it is impossible to become free. Hearing this, beings give up thoughts of avarice and practice the perfection of generosity [...]”..
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.
India history and geography
Duṣkṛta.—(CII 1), a bad deed. Note: duṣkṛta 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.
