In Hinduism

Ayurveda (science of life)

Source: National Mission for Manuscripts: Traditional Medicine System in India

Kledana (क्लेदन) refers to “moistening” and is the action (karma) associated with Snigdha (“oily”): one of the twenty Śārīraguṇa (or Gurvādiguṇa), which refers to the “twenty qualities of the body”—where guṇa (property) represents one of the six divisions of dravya (drugs).—Śārīraka-guṇas are twenty in number. There are ten guṇas with their opposite guṇas. [...] Snigdha (“oily”) has the predominant bhūta (element) of water and the associated actions of “moistening/kledana”; while Rūkṣa (“dry”) has the predominant bhūta (element) of earth, fire, air and is associated with the action “absorbing/śoṣaṇa”.

context information

Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Kledana (क्लेदन) refers to “wetting” (representing one of the five aarrows of Kṛśodarī [=Nityākālī?]), according to the Jayadrathayāmala verse 4.35.9-14.—Accordingly, “I see none who is her equal in the very powerful Vidyāpīṭha. She causes the women of the gods to melt (with passion). She is the deluding one even amongst the gods. One should worship her, Kṛśodarī, in the middle of (the Yoni which is) the lotus of the triangle. She is beautifully thin. She has one face and three eyes (that burn) like fire. She is fierce and holds a noose and goad and there are five arrows in her upraised hands. ‘Delusion’, ‘desiccation’, ‘melting’, ‘wetting’ (kledana) and ‘arousal’—these are the five arrows she should hold in (her) hand. One should think about the powerful Nityā Kālī, the wealth of the universe (in this way)”.

context information

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.

Vol. I, P. 318, l. 20]—The word ‘ādi’ occurring in stands for water, and it may cause ‘kledana’ (wetness). This is what we can learn from p. 367, ll. 24-25.
