Ayurveda (science of life)
Dietetics and Culinary Art (such as household cooking)
1) Maṇḍa (मण्ड) refers to one of the various types of “gruels” (usually refers to a food preparation with cereal boiled in water or milk), as mentioned in the Kṛtānnavarga, which is a subsection of the Annapānavidhi of the Sūtrasthāna of the Suśrutasaṃhitā, an important Ayurvedic treatise. The discourses of the teacher Divodasa are believed to be summarised by his disciple Suśruta, who wrote the work Suśrutasaṃhitā in 4th century CE. [...] Kṛtānna-varga, the subsection of Annapānavidhi describes the preparations and properties of different types of gruels like peya, vilepi, maṇḍa, pāyasa, mudgayūṣa and kṛsara, meat dishes like ullupta, vesavāra, etc.
2) Maṇḍa (मण्ड) refers to one of the five types of “curds” (dadhi) according to the 17th century Bhojanakutūhala (dravyaguṇāguṇa-kathana).—In dadhi-prakaraṇa, author classifies the curds into five types [viz., Manda] depending on their stages of fermentaion as well as taste. [...] Siddhānna-prakaraṇa describes the recipes and properties of different dishes. We can categorize the dishes into eight types based on their main ingredients. They are [viz., sweet dishes, etc.] and miscellaneous dishes. Sweets [preparations] are [viz., maṇḍa].
3) Maṇḍa (मण्ड) refers to a type of Modaka sweet dish.—(Ingredients of Maṇḍa): samita, ghee, sugar, cardamom, cloves, camphor, black pepper and water. (Cooking instructions): Knead samita with ghee and water. Make the mixture in the shape of vaṭas. Fry these vaṭas in ghee till the water content of it is fully evaporated. Immerse these vaṭas in sugar syrup dressed with cardamom, cloves, camphor and black pepper. This dish is called maṇḍa. It is just like bāduṣā, a famous sweet.
Maṇḍa is also mentioned in a list of potential causes for indigestion.—A complete section in Bhojanakutūhala is devoted for the description of agents that cause indigestion [viz., maṇḍa]. These agents consumed on a large scale can cause indigestion for certain people. The remedies [viz., kaṇāmūla] for these types of indigestions are also explained therewith.
Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)
Manda (मन्द) refers to “Saturday” and is considered positive for the recovery for a person to be bitten by snake, as taught in the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā, which represents the Ayurvedic study on Toxicology (Agadatantra or Sarpavidyā).—The malignant asterisms and baneful lunar phases and astral combinations, with reference to snake-bite, are discussed in the tail-end of the fourth Adhyāya. [...] The Kāśyapasaṃhitā mentions the following details regarding the Vāra (day):—The text also adds that manda (Saturday) and kuja (Tuesday) have lesser chances of recovery for those bitten by a snake.
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
1) Manda (मन्द) refers to the “slow (class elephants)”, according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 1, “on the origin of elephants”]: “[...] The elephant called ‘slow’ (manda-nāma) is said by the sages to be born in the tretā age and the cool season; he ranges both (in rivers and on mountains), is dispirited (or, has a bad disposition), has short ears, is not (very) long, is slow moving, his eyes have a yellow glint, he is characterized by (the quality, guṇa) ‘dulness’ (or ‘darkness,’ tamas), and dark in color; he is an elephant in whom phlegm predominates, has large curved tusks, is distinguished by a stout round body, is lustful, and responds (only) to profound (harsh) stimuli”.
2) Manda (मन्द) or “slow” refers to one of the three Gaits (gati) of an elephant.—[Cf. chapter 12, “On the qualities of elephant drivers, etc.”]: “13. But the gaits (of an elephant) are threefold, distinguished as slow (manda) and fast (walking) and running. They are also classified in five ways as forward, backward, circular, crosswise, and revolving (pivoting)”.
Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Manda (मन्द, “dull”).—One of the twenty Gurvādiguṇa, or, ‘ten opposing pairs of qualities of drugs’.—Manda is the characteristic of a drug referring to its ‘dullness’, while its opposing quality, Tīkṣṇa, refers to its ‘sharpness’. It is a Sanskrit technical term from Āyurveda (Indian medicine) and used in literature such the Caraka-saṃhitā and the Suśruta-saṃhitā.
The quality of Manda, present in drugs and herbs, increases the Kapha (bodily fluids, or ‘phlegm’), while it aggrevates the Vāta (bodily humour in control of motion and the nervous system) and the Pitta (bodily humour in control of digestion and metabolism). It exhibits a predominant presence of the elements Earth (pṛthivī) and Water (ap).
1) Maṇḍa (मण्ड) refers to “scum” (i.e., head of any liquid, e.g., curds).—Amarasiṃha’s Nāmaliṅgānuśāsana II.9.53-54 which defines mastu as “maṇḍaṃ dadhibhavaṃ”—“the scum produced upon curds” [i.e. sour cream], having previously (v. 49) explained maṇḍa by sarvarasāgra—“the head of any liquid” [i.e. scum]. Other lexicographers follow suit. Thus Halāyudha’s Abhidhānaratnamālā. II.166 describes it as dadhimaṇḍa (“the scum of curds”), while Hemacandra (Abhidhanac. 390) states: “sarvarasāgryaṃ maṇḍam atra tu dadhije mastu”—“(that which is) found on top of any fluid (is called) maṇḍa; if it is, however, produced upon curds, (it is called) mastu”.
Kṣīrasvāmin (on Amarasiṃha’s Nāmaliṅgānuśāsana II 9.54) understands maṇḍa as “dravo bhāgaḥ”, so that mastu would then be “the liquid part produced in curds” [i.e. whey];
2) Manda (मन्द) refers to “unfinished”, as mentioned in verse 5.29-31 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Of sour digestion and taste, constipating, heavy, (and) warming (are) curds [viz., dadhi]; Never shall one take them at night, never warm, (and) not in spring, summer, and autumn (in any other season) not without mung-bean soup nor without honey nor without ghee and sugar nor without emblic myrobalans [viz., na-anāmalaka], also not continuously and not slightly unfinished (na-ā-manda)”.
Note: Manda, explained by Candranandana as mandajāta (“slowly developed”) and by Indu as ajāta (“undeveloped”), has been rendered by ma laṅs (“not having reached the final stage, unfinished”). Similarly, Aruṇadatta describes mandaka as “that which, after having passed the state of milk, has not yet reached the state of curds but is in between”—(dugdhāvasthāṃ vyatītya dadhyavasthām saṃprāptam antarāvarti).—The prefix ā [viz., āmanda] must be interpreted to mean “slightly” (āṅ īṣadarthe Patañjali’s Mahābhāṣya on Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī II.2.18 vartt. 4). For nāmandam Candranandana and Indu read “no mandam” (a contraction of “na u mandam”), which does not only come closer to the Tibetan version but is also preferable from the stylistic point of view, since no winds up a tripartite series of composite negations (na ca: nāpi: no).
1) Manda (मन्द):—A gruel of rice by adding 14 times of water without rice particles
2) Dull / sluggish; One of the 20 gurvadi gunas. caused due activated prithvi & jala mahabhuta; denotes physiological & pharmacological slowing down of processes; instrumental for palliative therapy; pacifies pitta, increases kapha.
3) Maṇḍa (मण्ड):—It’s a method of rice preparation. To prepare this 1 part rice and 14 part water is added and cooked. liquid portion of that preparation is maṇḍa (rice gruel). It facilitates evacuation of faltus, relives thirst, weaknees, improves digestion, softens the metabolic pathways.
Manda (मन्द, “dull”) and Tīkṣṇa (“light”) refers to one of the ten counterpart-couples 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. [...] Manda (“dull”) has the predominant bhūta (element) of earth, water and the associated actions of “slowing/pacifying/śamana”; while Tīkṣṇa (“sharp”) has the predominant bhūta (element) of fire and is associated with the action “penetrating/purifying/śodhana”.
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.

Manda (मन्द) refers to one who is “slow-witted”, and is used by the evil-minded Dakṣa to describe the Brahmins that walked out on his sacrifice, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.27. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] when the sage Dadhīci and others staged a walkout, the evil-minded Dakṣa, inimical to Śiva, said mocking at them.:—‘[...] They are slow-witted (manda) and senseless. They are rogues indulging in false deliberations and discussions. They are out of the Vedic circle. These men of evil conduct shall be eschewed from sacrificial rites’”.

In the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa as well as in the Nāṭyaśāstra, the varieties of nose movements have been mentioned in feminine gender. The mandā movement (i.e., “lowered nostrils”) denote the unpleasant state.
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.

Mandā has a frequency of 496.6798Hz. It is also known as Mandākini.
Mandā (मन्दा) refers to one of the four Śrutis of the Ṣaḍja note of the Octave in Indian Music (often described in literature as consisting of twenty-two śrutis).—Kohala brings out different theories on the number of śrutis. He says that some believe in twenty-two, śrutis, some in sixty-six and others believe in infinity. Bharata and many subsequent authors including Śārṅgadeva etc. spoke of twenty-two śrutis.—According to earlier authors like Śārṅgadeva, the Ṣaḍja note has the following śrutis: tivrā, kumudvatī, mandā, chandovatī.
Gitashastra (गीतशास्त्र, gītaśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science of Music (gita or samgita), which is traditionally divided in Vocal music, Instrumental music and Dance (under the jurisdiction of music).

The illustrations (of, for example Mandā) are found scattered throughout ancient Jain manuscripts from Gujarat. The descriptions of these illustrations of this citrāvalī are based on the ślokas of Vācanācārya Gaṇi Sudhākalaśa’s Saṅgītopaniṣatsāroddhāra (14th century) and Śārṅgadeva’s Saṅgītaratnākara (13th century).
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.
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Mandā (मन्दा) refers to “slight”, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 8), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “The years of Jupiter (bṛhaspati) take their names from the several Nakṣatras in which he reappears after his conjunction with the Sun; and these names are identical with the names of the lunar months. [...] In the Caitra year of Jupiter, there will be slight rain [i.e., mandā—mandā vṛṣṭi], good food and happiness; rulers will become mild; leguminous grains will increase and fair men will suffer miseries”.
Manda (मन्द).—1. The inequality in a planet's orbital motion that depends on its position with respect to the stars, analogous to zodiacal anomaly. (lit., slow). 2. Slow, apex of slow motion.

Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Manda (मन्द, “slow”) refers to one of the sixty defects of mantras, according to the 11th century Kulārṇava-tantra: an important scripture of the Kaula school of Śāktism traditionally stated to have consisted of 125.000 Sanskrit verses.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Śrī Devī: “For those who do japa without knowing these defects [e.g., manda—slow], there is no realization even with millions and billions of japa. [...] Oh My Beloved! there are ten processes for eradicating defects in Mantras as described. [...]”.
Manda (मन्द, “weak”) refers to Mandājñā or “weak command”, according to the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—The Command [i.e., ājñā] is said to variously be, as are grace and the “descent of power”, intense (tīvra-ājñā) or weak (manda-ājñā), as the case may be. The former is devastatingly powerful and brings about realisation in an instant. The latter is slow and works gradually, elevating the soul (jīva) who receives it stage by stage, merging it into progressively higher principles. Indeed, it may be so weak that its purifying effect may be quickly undone by the formation of more binding impurity. A weak Command gives rise to equally weak and fickle devotion and with it bad morals. Most people in this dark Age of Strife (kali), especially now that we are approaching the end of it, suffer from these defects because in this Age, the Command is extremely weak. [...]
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.

Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.
Kama-shastra (the science of Love-making)
Manda (मन्द) refers to “weak” (passion), according to the Kāmasūtra of Vātsyāyana and Jaśodhara’s commentary called the Jayamaṅgalā .—Accordingly, “[Commentary on verse 7.2.2]:—‘about to practice sex’: at the beginning of the sexual act. This is at the start [of the sexual act]. Even if the passion is weak (manda—mando rāgo) with regards to sex because the penis is inert, first ‘her genitalia’, i.e. her vulva, should be rubbed with his hand, should be stimulated with the ‘elephant trunk’ [method]...”.

[unverified translation!] The Mantra defect elimination methods consist in performing purification rites (saṃskāra).—See Kulārṇava-tantra verse 15.71-2 and Śaradātilaka verse 2.114-22.
Mantrashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, mantraśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science of mantras—chants, incantations, spells, magical hymns, etc. Mantra Sastra literature includes many ancient books dealing with the methods reciting mantras, identifying and purifying its defects and the science behind uttering or chanting syllables.
Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)
Manda (मन्द) refers to “(those birds who have a) slow speed in flight”, 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 yellow-eyed division of hawks]: “There are four kinds of Vāsa. [...] The Pratiṣṭhānās are thickly feathered and inferior in speed (manda) [mandā vege ca sāhase] and courage. They are not subject to disease and are compact of muscle, They come from the country abounding in hawks. In their colour they are whitish, blackish and reddish”.
This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (“performing arts”) and Shastras (“sciences”) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.

Manda (मन्द) refers to a “stupid man” (i.e., one who is stupefied upon learning the real truth) , according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] A stupid man (manda) is bewildered when he hears the real truth [tattvaṃ yathārthamākarṇya mandaḥ prāpnoti mūḍhatām], while even a clever man is humbled by it just like the fool. The ignorant make a great effort to practise one-pointedness and the stopping of thought, while the wise see nothing to be done and remain in themselves like those asleep. [...]”.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
