Ayurveda (science of life)

Rasashastra (Alchemy and Herbo-Mineral preparations)

Source: Wisdom Library: Rasa-śāstra

Puṭa (पुट) is a Sanskit technical term referring to “burning pits” (used for calcination process of, for example, minerals). The term is used throughout Rasaśāstra literature.

Source: Academia.edu: Ayurveda and Pharmaceutics (rasashastra)

Puṭa: Mercury, mica, gold and other similar raw material cannot be used in medicines without subjecting them to pāka (heating process) and this process is called bhasmīkarana (incineration). The Puṭa limits the degree of incineration. Literally Puṭa means hallow space or/in two vessels joined together. It is also a measure of heating arrangement for preparing various kinds of bhasma (cinder) of mahārasa, uparasa and loha etc. Although the Puṭa is an heating process, it entails elaborate arrangements and can be described under yantra. Yantras and puṭas have become very popular after the advent of rasaśāstra in the middle ages.

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.

Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstra

1) Puṭa (पुट) refers to the “eyelids”. It is one of the parts of the human body with which gestures (āṅgika) are performaned, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 8. These gestures of the eyelids (puṭa) are supposed to follow the corresponding nine movements of the eyeballs (tārā). These gestures form a part of the histrionic representation (abhinaya).

These are the nine gestures of the eyelids (puṭa), following the movements of the eyeballs (tāra):

unmeṣa (opening),
nimeṣa (closing),
prasṛta (expanding),
kuñcita (contracted),
sama (level),
vivartita (raising up),
sphurita (throbbing),
pihita (resting),
vitāḍita (driven).

2) Puṭa (पुट) is another name for Paṭuvṛtta, which refers to a type of syllabic metre (vṛtta), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 16. In this metre, the first six and the tenth syllables of a foot (pāda) are light (laghu), while the rest of the syllables are heavy (guru).

⏑⏑⏑¦⏑⏑⏑¦⎼⎼⎼¦⏑⎼⎼¦¦⏑⏑⏑¦⏑⏑⏑¦⎼⎼⎼¦⏑⎼⎼¦¦

Puṭa falls in the Jagatī class of chandas (rhythm-type), which implies that verses constructed with this metre have four pādas (‘foot’ or ‘quarter-verse’) containing twelve syllables each.

Puṭa (पुट, “eyelids”) refers to one of the twelve “subsidiary limbs” (upāṅga), which represents a division of Āṅgikābhinaya (gesture language of the limbs) as used within the classical tradition of Indian dance and performance, also known as Bharatanatyam.—Āṅgika-abhinaya is the gesture language of the limbs. Dance is an art that expresses itself through the medium of body, and therefore, āṅgikābhinaya is essential for any dance and especially for any classical dance of India. Upāṅgas or the subsidiary limbs consist of the eyes, the eye-brows, [eyelids, viz., Puṭa], pupils, cheeks, nose, jaws, lips, teeth, tongue, chin, face, and the head.

It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).

Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)

Source: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literature

Puṭa (पुट) refers to one of the 135 metres (chandas) mentioned by Nañjuṇḍa (1794-1868 C.E.) in his Vṛttaratnāvalī. Nañjuṇḍa was a poet of both Kannada and Sanskrit literature flourished in the court of the famous Kṛṣṇarāja Woḍeyar of Mysore. He introduces the names of these metres (e.g., Puṭa) in 20 verses.

context information

Chandas (छन्दस्) refers to Sanskrit prosody and represents one of the six Vedangas (auxiliary disciplines belonging to the study of the Vedas). The science of prosody (chandas-shastra) focusses on the study of the poetic meters such as the commonly known twenty-six metres mentioned by Pingalas.

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Puṭa (पुट) refers to a “capsule”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] (14) Once that has been abandoned and one travels upwards, (one reaches) the one called the Equal One (samanā), which is full of vitality (ojikā). This energy (kalā), established in the middle of the capsule of emission [i.e., visarga-puṭa-madhyasthā], rains down nectar. When consuming the Supreme Syllable, eat the energy which is nectar (amṛtakalā). [...] (Perfect) contemplation (samādhi) is with (these) sixteen aspects and is (attained) within the form of the sixfold deposition (ṣoḍhānyāsa). He who knows this is (a veritable) Lord of Yogis, the others (who do not) are (just) quoting from books. Once attained the plane that is Void and Non-void, the yogi is freed from bondage”.

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.

Kavya (poetry)

Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (kavya)

Puṭa (पुट) refers to the “cavities (of the ears)”, according to Bāṇa’s Kādambarī (p. 226).—There are apparently several Tantric rites that Bāṇa pejoratively associates with the priest: [...] “his collection of practices for mastering mantras for invisibility had grown”; “he was acquainted with a hundred tales about the marvels of the Śrīparvata mountain”; “his ear-cavities (śravaṇa-puṭa) were punched by those possessed by Piśāca-demons, who had run to him when struck by white mustard seed he had empowered with mantras more than once”.

context information

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’.

Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions

Pūta (पूत) refers to “(having) purified”, according to the 13th-century Matsyendrasaṃhitā: a Kubjikā-Tripurā oriented Tantric Yoga text of the Ṣaḍanvayaśāmbhava tradition from South India.—Accordingly, “[...] He should treat [all phenomena] as one, not as separate. He should not drink [alcohol] or eat meat idly [with no ritual purpose]. He should not drink wine without first purifying it [with mantras], and he should consume meat after he has purified (pūta) it with that [wine]. He should not answer the call of nature, should not sip water, etc., while reciting mantras or in an assembly. If he does so out of folly, the curse of the Yoginīs will fall on him. [...]”.

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.

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Puta (पुत) refers to a “having sanctified (one’s body) (due to austerities)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.35 (“The story of Padmā and Pippalāda”).—Accordingly, as Padmā (wife of sage Pippalāda) said to Dharma (in the guise of a king): “Away, away, go away you sinful king. If you cast your lustful ogles at me you will be doomed in a trice. How can I resort to you, lecherous and mad after women, after forsaking the excellent sage Pippalāda whose body is sanctified by austerities (pūta-vigraha)? By the very touch of a person under the influence of women all merits are destroyed. He is a great sinner. His very sight promotes sins. [...]”.

context information

The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.

(or Non-Aryan) puṭa (see Pischel, Prk. Gr. § 238 & 292). Through popular etym. a wrong conception of the expression arose, which took puṭa in the sense of “wares, provisions, merchandise” (perhaps influenced by puṭaṃsa) and, based on C. on Ud. 88 (bhaṇḍakānaṃ mocara-ṭṭhānaṃ vuttaṃ hoti) gave rise to the (wrong) trsln Dial. II. 92 “a centre for interchange of all kinds of wares. ” See also Miln. trsln I. 2; Buddh. Suttas XVI, — Vin. I, 229=D. II, 87=Ud. 88. After the example of Pāṭaliputta applied to the city of Sāgala at Miln. 1 (nānā-puṭa-bhedanaṃ S° nagaraṃ). Here clearly meant for “merchandise. ” — Rh. D. in a note on puṭabhedana gives expln “a town at the confluence or bend of a river” (cp. Jaina Sūtras 2, 451). Puṭaka (nt.) (fr. puṭa) a bag, pocket, knapsack or basket J.
