In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Ekapāda (एकपाद):—Second of the eleven emanations of Rudra (ekādaśa-rudra), according to the Viśvakarma-śilpa. He keeps in his left hand the khaṭvāṅga, bāṇa, chakra, ḍamaru, mudgara, varada, akṣamālā, and śūla; while the right hands keep the dhanus, ghaṇṭa, kapāla, kaumudi (ardha-chandra?), tarjanī, ghaṭa, paraśu and chakra (śakti?). It is stated that the worship of this deity secures to the votary all material enjoyments.
Ekapāda (एकपाद) or Ekapādamūrti refers to one of the twenty-eighth forms (mūrti) of Śiva mentioned in the Vātulāgama: twenty-eighth among the Siddhāntaśaivāgama. The forms of Śiva (e.g., Ekapāda) are established through a process known as Sādākhya, described as a five-fold process of creation.
Ekapāda (एकपाद).—In iconography, ekapāda does not come under the heading sthānaka, but is found under sthānāsana. This posture is seen in image of Kāmākṣi (a form of Śakti) in meditation.
Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Ekapada (एकपद).—A country of ancient Bhārata. The King and the people of this country came to the Rājasūya of Yudhiṣṭhira but were prevented from entering inside because of the uncontrollable crowd inside. (Śloka 17, Chapter 51, Sabhā Parva, Mahābhārata).
Ekapāda (एकपाद) refers to “(performed penance while) standing on only one leg”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.15 (“The penance and reign of Tārakāsura”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated: “[...] For a hundred years he [Tāraka] performed penance with his hands lifted up, standing on only one leg [i.e., ekapāda] and gazing at the sun. With his mind steady and firm he observed all sacred rites. Then for a hundred years, the lord and king of Asuras, Tāraka performed the penance: stood steady touching the ground with the single big toe. For hundred years he performed penance by drinking only water; another hundred years by sustaining himself on air alone, another hundred years standing in water and another hundred years standing on dry land. [...]”.
1a) Ekapāda (एकपाद).—A Bhairava god.*
- * Brahmāṇḍa-purāṇa IV. 20. 82.
1b) A name of Vighneśa.*
- * Brahmāṇḍa-purāṇa IV. 44. 68.
Ekapāda (एकपाद) is a name mentioned in the Mahābhārata (cf. II.28.47, II.47.16) and represents one of the many proper names used for people and places. Note: The Mahābhārata (mentioning Ekapāda) is a Sanskrit epic poem consisting of 100,000 ślokas (metrical verses) and is over 2000 years old.
Ekapāda (एकपाद) or Ekapādapurāṇa refers to one of the eighteen Minor Puranas (i.e., Upapurāṇa) according to the Devībhāgavatapurāṇa and other traditional lists of Puranic literature: a category of ancient Sanskrit texts which gives a huge contribution in the development of Indian literature.—The Upapurāṇas (e.g., ekapāda-purāṇa) can be considered as the supplements of the Mahāpurāṇas as those are mostly based on the Mahāpurāṇas. The Saurapurāṇa considers the Upapurāṇas as khilas i.e., supplements. [...] Though the numbers of Upapurāṇas are specified as eighteen, there are many important Upapurāṇas which are excluded from the lists of Upapurāṇas given by different sources.
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.
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Ekapada (एकपद).—Made up of one word; consisting of one word; cf. अथवा सन्त्ये-कपदान्यप्यवधारणानि । यथा अब्भक्षो वायुभक्षः । अप एव भक्षयति वायुमव भक्षयति । (athavā santye-kapadānyapyavadhāraṇāni | yathā abbhakṣo vāyubhakṣaḥ | apa eva bhakṣayati vāyumava bhakṣayati |) M.Bh. first Āhnika; (2) a continuous word paraphrased as अखण्डपद (akhaṇḍapada) and समानपद (samānapada) by commentators; cf. तेनानन्तरा षष्ठयेकपदवत् (tenānantarā ṣaṣṭhayekapadavat) V.Pr.II. 18: (3) every individual word: cf. बहुक्रमे क्रमेत तस्यैकपदानि निःसृजन् (bahukrame krameta tasyaikapadāni niḥsṛjan) R.Pr.XI.18.
--- OR ---
Ekapadā (एकपदा).—Made up of a single word; cf. भवति चैतदकस्मिन्नपि एकवर्ण पदम् एकपदा ऋक् एकर्चं सूक्तमिति । (bhavati caitadakasminnapi ekavarṇa padam ekapadā ṛk ekarcaṃ sūktamiti |) M. Bh. on P.I. 1.21 Vārt. 5; (2) made up of one foot (चरण (caraṇa) or पाद (pāda)); cf. एक एकपदैतेषां (eka ekapadaiteṣāṃ) (R.Pr.XVII.24) explained by the commentator as तेषां चतुर्णां पादाना-मष्टाक्षरादीनां एकः पादः यस्याः सा एकपदा ऋक् इत्युच्यते । (teṣāṃ caturṇāṃ pādānā-maṣṭākṣarādīnāṃ ekaḥ pādaḥ yasyāḥ sā ekapadā ṛk ityucyate |)
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
1) Ekapāda (एकपाद) refers to “the liṅga of one foot”, according to the second recension of 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 (i.e., Khageśī) said to the God (i.e., Bhairava), “(The Liṅga has) one foot (ekapāda—i.e. E) . It is located in (the midst of) three energies and is adorned with the qualities of the three measures. (In five nights), O lord, I will burst apart the Liṅga. I will reveal myself and I will tell you (the teachings of the) Kula”.
Note: (Cf. Kumārikākhaṇḍa 3.13-14ab):—The letter E has the shape of a small downward-facing triangle which is likened to a person standing on one foot. It represents the Liṅga which is the core of the goddess’s maṇḍala. It consists of three measures (mātrā). The syllable AIṂ, which is the sonic form of the goddess within the Liṅga, consists of three and a half measures.
2) Ekapāda (एकपाद) refers to the “plane of the one-footed”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra.—Accordingly, “The plane of the One-footed (ekapāda i.e. the letter E) is where the Skyfarer is in the Skyfarer within the Cavity of the Hair. Śrīdeva is above Meru (the triangle above the head) (merupaścima) in the essential nature of the Void (kha), which is the threefold measure (of energy) (mātra). [...]”.
3) Ekapāda (एकपाद) refers to one of the eight Guardians (kṣetrapāla-aṣṭaka) associated with Nādapīṭha (identified with Kulūta), according to the Manthānabhairavatantra.—[...] The eight Guardians (kṣetrapālāṣṭaka): Ekapāda, Budbuda, Ghaṇṭāvādanaka, Ghora, Gharghara, Valkala, Līla, Laṅkeśvara.
Ekapāda (एकपाद) or Ekapādatantra refers to one of the thirty-three Dakṣiṇatantras, belonging to the Śāktāgama (or Śāktatantra) division of the Āgama tradition. The Śāktāgamas represent the wisdom imparted by Devī to Īśvara and convey the idea that the worship of Śakti is the means to attain liberation. According to the Pratiṣṭhālakṣaṇasamuccaya of Vairocana, the Śāktatantras are divided into to four parts, the Ekapāda-tantra belonging to the Dakṣiṇa class.
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.
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Ekapāda (एकपाद) is one of the six divisions of sthānaka, one of the nine maṇḍala (postures of the feet) which in turn represents one of the four “movements of the feet” (pāda) according to the Abhinayadarpaṇa. Ekapāda-sthānaka is found in both the arts as standing on one leg and placing the other leg on the knee of the first leg obliquely or placed on the genitals of the image with the foot facing upward. In iconography, this division of ekapāda does not come under the heading sthānaka, but is found under sthānāsana.
Ekapada (एकपद) or Ekapadakuṭṭitā refers to one of twenty-five Madhupa types of Deśī varieties of Cārīs—“movements that involve the simultaneous movement of the feet, shanks and the hip”, according to Kallinātha’s Kalānidhi commentary on Śārṅgadeva’s Saṅgītaratnākara, 7.1016 (Vol. IV, pp.313-317).—Śārṅgadeva names and explains deśīcārīs of the ākāśikī-cārīs and ākāśikī-cārīs varieties described in Bharata’s Nāṭyaśāstra. Kallinātha also mentions a particular variety of deśī-cāris called madhupacārīs. The madhupa-cārīs [e.g., Ekapada-kuṭṭitā] have not been dealt with either by Bharata or Śārṅgadeva. Kallinatha gives a list of twenty five madhupa-cārīs, as enumerated by Kohala in his work Saṅgītameru
Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Ekapada (एकपद) refers to a country belonging to “Pūrvā or Pūrvadeśa (eastern division)” classified under the constellations of Ārdrā, Punarvasu and Puṣya, according to the system of Kūrmavibhāga, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 14), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “The countries of the Earth beginning from the centre of Bhāratavarṣa and going round the east, south-east, south, etc., are divided into 9 divisions corresponding to the 27 lunar asterisms at the rate of 3 for each division and beginning from Kṛttikā. The constellations of Ārdrā, Punarvasu and Puṣya represent the eastern division consisting of [i.e., Ekapada] [...]”.
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.
Shyanika-shastra (the science of Hawking and Hunting)
Ekapāda (एकपाद) refers to “standing on one leg” (as part of the training of hawks), 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 training of hawks]: “[...] Whether it is ‘manned’ or not is to be known by its actions. When it stands on one leg (ekapāda) [caikapādena vai yadā] with the eyes closed, when it preens or ‘ reforms’ its feathers, when it ‘mantles’ with its wings, or looks with a gentle eye at its master, then it is known to be ‘manned’, otherwise not. When the hawk is seen to be manned it should be lured in a creance to a piece of meat from increasing distances. [...]”.
Shyanika-shastra (श्यैनिकशास्त्र, śyainikaśāstra) deals with ancient Indian skill of hawking/falconry (one of the ways of hunting) which were laid down in a systematic manner in various Sanskrit treatises. It also explains the philosophy behind how the pleasures derived from sense-experience could lead the way to liberation.
