Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Madonmatta (मदोन्मत्त) refers to a “maddened (lion)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.10 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Tāraka-Asura fought with Kārttikeya: “[...] At the blow of the spear, the son of Śiva became unconscious. He regained his consciousness in a few minutes. He was eulogised by the great sages. Kumāra became furious like a maddened (madonmatta) lion [yathā siṃho madonmatto] and was desirous of killing the Asura. The powerful Kumāra hit Tāraka with his spear. Thus both Kumāra and Tāraka equally inflamed and equally well versed in the battle of spears fought each other. [...]”.

Madonmatta (मदोन्मत्त) refers to one of the various mantradoṣa (“defects of mantras”), according to Tantric digests such as the Bṛhattantrasāra (part 4 page 814), Nāradapurāṇa (Nārada-mahā-purāṇa) (verses 64.14-58), Śaradātilaka (verses 2.71-108), Padārthādarśa and Śrīvidyārṇava-tantra.—Madonmatta is defined as “if the mantra dedicated to the male form of the deity or the female form of the deity (vidyā) consists of seven syllables, and at the beginning there are five times phaṭ”.

In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

Madonmatta (मदोन्मत्त) refers to “(being) intoxicated with passion”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Here in the world a whole multitude of objects, and the supremacy that is desired by the chiefs of snakes, men and gods, and other than [that], family, power, prosperity, and wanton women [com.—wanton women (uddāmarāmāḥ) are women (striyaḥ) intoxicated with passion (madonmattāḥ)] , etc. is easily obtained. On the contrary, that very same jewel of enlightenment alone is difficult to obtain. [Thus ends the reflection on] enlightenment”.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
