In Hinduism

Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Pratiṣiddha (प्रतिषिद्ध).—A rule or operation which is prohibited or prevented from application by a specific negation of it by another rule or operation laid down to prohibit it. Generally the prohibited rule does not apply again; cf. सकृद्रतौ विप्रतिषेधे यद्वाधितं तद्वाधितमेव (sakṛdratau vipratiṣedhe yadvādhitaṃ tadvādhitameva) Par, Sek.Pari. 40; cf.नोत्सहते प्रतिषिद्धा सती बाधितुम् । (notsahate pratiṣiddhā satī bādhitum |) M.Bh. on P. I. 1.43. The word प्रातिषिद्ध (prātiṣiddha) which is generally used in ancient works appears to be an earlier word as compared with निषिद्ध (niṣiddha) which is used by later grammarians.

context information

Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.

Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions

Pratiṣiddha (प्रतिषिद्ध) refers to “(that which is) contrariwise (according to the rules of the Mālinīvijayottara)”, according to the Mālinīvijayottaratantra, chapter 18 (“appropriate conduct of the accomplished Yogin”) verses 18.74-81 (as quoted in the Tantrāloka verse 4.213-221ab).—Accordingly, “[...] Absolutely everything is performed here [according to the rules of the Mālinīvijayottara], and, contrariwise (pratiṣiddha), omitted. Yet, this (alone) is necessarily enjoined here [in the Mālinīvijayottara], O Goddess, that the wholly pleased Yogin must fix his consciousness on reality; and he should therefore act only in accordance with that [reality], whatever that may be for him. Moreover, the one whose consciousness is fixed on reality, partaking even in the pleasures of the senses, is not touched by bad consequences, just as the petal of a lotus (is not affected) by water. [...]”.

context information

Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.

In Buddhism

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

Pratiṣiddha (प्रतिषिद्ध) refers to “blocked (paths)”, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 3.—Accordingly, “The four immeasurable feelings (apramāṇa-citta) are loving-kindness (maitrī), compassion (karuṇā), joy (muditā) and equanimity (upekṣā). [...] To those who cannot obtain mastery over objects so as to see objects at will, one should speak about the eight masteries. To those who take blocked paths (pratiṣiddha-mārga) and do not succeed in freeing the obstacles, one should speak of the eight liberations. [...]”.
