Source: Wisdom Library: Vāstu-śāstra

Kārttikā (कार्त्तिका) refers to the fourth of twenty-seven constellations (ṛkṣa), according to the Mānasāra. It is also known by the name Brāhmī. Ṛkṣa is the third of the āyādiṣaḍvarga, or “six principles” that constitute the “horoscope” of an architectural or iconographic object. Their application is intended to “verify” the measurements of the architectural and iconographic object against the dictates of astrology that lay out the conditions of auspiciousness.

The particular nakṣatra, also known as ṛkṣa (e.g., kārttikā) of all architectural and iconographic objects (settlement, building, image) must be calculated and ascertained. This process is based on the principle of the remainder. An arithmetical formula to be used in each case is stipulated, which engages one of the basic dimensions of the object (breadth, length, or perimeter/circumference). In the context of village planning and measurement, the text sates that among the stars (ṛkṣa), the ones that are pūrṇa (odd), are auspicious and the ones that are karṇa (even), inauspicious.

The ascetic dreams of revenge: invited one day to break his fast with King Jitaśatru, he accepts on condition that Kārtika waits for him. Forced, Kārtika complies with the request, while regretting not having become a monk before. The humiliation which the ascetic inflicts on him, moreover, disgusts him in the world: he becomes a monk with ten thousand other merchants”.

Source: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist Iconography

Kārttika (कार्त्तिक) (presided over by Brahmā) is the eighth of twelve months, as commonly depicted in Buddhist Iconography, and mentioned in the 11th-century Niṣpannayogāvalī of Mahāpaṇḍita Abhayākara.—Accordingly, there are altogether twelve months [viz., Kārttika] having twelve deities as given in the kālacakra-maṇḍala.—“here they are all accompanied with their Śaktis, mostly four-armed and have their distinctive vehicles”.

Source: OSU Press: Cakrasamvara Samadhi

Kartika (कर्तिक) refers to a “flaying knife” which is used to describe Cakrasaṃvara, according to the Saṃvaramaṇḍala of Abhayākaragupta’s Niṣpannayogāvalī, p. 45 and n. 145; (Cf. Cakrasaṃvaratantra, Gray, David B., 2007).—Accordingly, [while describing the iconography of Cakrasaṃvara]: “In the Saṃvara Maṇḍala atop Mount Sumera within a vajra-canopy there is a variegated lotus, on top of that a palace, in the middle of which is the Blessed Lord, standing in ālīḍhāsana, "archer's pose", [...] possessing a vyāghracarma, "tiger skin" and twelve arms, the foremost arms holding a vajra and ghaṇṭā, embracing Vajravārāhī, the uppermost arms holding a gajacarman, "elephant skin", dripping with blood, the remaining arms holding, starting second from the top, on the right, a ḍamaru, "double-headed drum", paraśu, "axe", kartika, "flaying knife", triśūla, "trident", on the left, a khaṭvāṅga, "staff", kapāla, "skull bowl", pāśa, "noose", and brahmamuṇḍa, "lopped head of Brahma", [...]”.

Note: [For Cakrasaṃvara]—The kartika, "flaying knife", symbolizes cutting away the pañca-nivāraṇa, "The Five Hindrances": 1) kāmacchanda "sensual desire" 2) vyāpāda "evil intent" 3) styānamiddha "laziness-lethargy" 4) auddhatyakaukṛitya "restlessness-regret" 5) vicikitsā "indecision".—[For Vajravārāhī and Vajrayoginī]—Spinning the kartika, "flaying knife", in the ten directions symbolizes śūnyatā-prajñā, "wisdom of emptiness", which cuts away all conceptual thought. (Also see the pañca-nivāraṇa, "The Five Hindrances")

Karttikā (कर्त्तिका) refers to a “knife” (i.e., one of the attributes held in the hands of a deity), according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, “[...] [He (The Causal Vajra-holder)] stands in the ālīḍha posture with the feet placed on both Hara and Gaurī [He holds] (1) a vajra and (2) a bell, (3)(4) an elephant’s skin, (5) a drum, (6) a knife (karttikā), (7) an axe, (8) a trident, (9) a skull staff, (10) a pot, (11) a noose, and (12) a hairless head in the left and right [hands].

Kartikā (कर्तिका) refers to a “half-moon blade knife” (for skinning an animal and for scraping hides).—In the iconography of Chöd, the practitioner symbolically uses a kartikā to separate the body-mind from the mind-stream in ritual. Chöd (gcod) is a spiritual practice which means “cutting through the ego” and combines Prajñāpāramitā philosophy with specific meditation methods and Tantric ritual. [...] Kartika imagery in Chöd rituals provides the practitioner with an opportunity to realize Buddhist doctrine: “The kartika or curved knife symbolizes the cutting of conventional wisdom by the ultimate insight into emptiness. It is usually present as a pair, together with the skullcup, filled with wisdom nectar. On a more simple level, the skull is a reminder of (our) impermanence. Between the knife and the handle is a makara-head, a mythical monster”.

Accordingly:—“After he had finished his sermon, wishing to benefit the world, the Lord stopped one day in his wandering in Hastināpura. In this city Jitaśatru was king and there was a Jain layman, Kārtika, a merchant, the head of a thousand merchants. There was in the city a Vaiṣṇavite ascetic, wearing reddish garments, who fasted for a month at a time and was much worshipped by the citizens. At each fast-breaking he was invited by the people with great devotion, but not by the merchant Kārtika whose supreme treasure was right-belief. [...]”.
