In Hinduism
Kama-shastra (the science of Love-making)
Parigṛhītā (परिगृहीता) refers to “married women”, according to chapter 1.5 of Vātsyāyana’s Kāmasūtra: a Sanskrit text from the 2nd century dealing with eroticism, sexuality and emotional fulfillment in life belonging to Kāmaśāstra (the ancient Indian science of love-making).—Accordingly, “[...] The practice of kāma with women of the higher castes, and with those previously enjoyed by others (para-parigṛhītā), even though they be of the same caste, is prohibited. But the practice of kāma with women of the lower castes, with women excommunicated from their own caste, with public women, and with women twice married, is neither enjoined nor prohibited. The object of practising kāma with such women is pleasure only”.
Kamashastra (कामशास्त्र, kāmaśāstra) deals with ancient Indian science of love-making, passion, emotions and other related topics dealing with the pleasures of the senses.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Parigṛhīta (परिगृहीत) refers to “holding (a particular item)” (in one’s hand), according to the Vajratuṇḍasamayakalparāja, an ancient Buddhist ritual manual on agriculture from the 5th-century (or earlier), containing various instructions for the Sangha to provide agriculture-related services to laypeople including rain-making, weather control and crop protection.—Accordingly, [as the Bhagavān teaches an offering manual]: “A wax Garuḍa should be made. [...] [The Garuḍa] should hold (parigṛhīta) a three-headed [Nāga] in the right hand, and jewels and gems in the left. It should be covered with shining gold. It should be touched by colours according to the ritual manual. [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
India history and geography
Parigṛhīta.—(IE 8-2; EI 31), ‘accepted’, sometimes used in place of anudhyāta (‘meditating’ or ‘favoured’) in passages like tatpāda-parighṛhīta; cf. bappa-bhaṭṭāraka-pāda-parigṛhīta, bhaṭṭāraka- Mahāsena-parigṛhīta, etc.; refers to selection or acceptance of a succession or appointment or receipt in one's favour. Cf. catuḥśāla-parigṛhītaṃ śaila-maṇḍapam and Samyaksam- buddhasya dhātu-parigṛhītasya (Select Inscriptions, p. 228). Note: parigṛhīta is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
