In Hinduism

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: The Purana Index

Taraṅgiṇī (तरङ्गिणी).—A river flows through the Uttarakuru country and falls into the north ocean.^*

* Vāyu-purāṇa 42. 76-7.

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.

Kavya (poetry)

Source: Wisdom Library: Kathāsaritsāgara

Taraṅgiṇī (तरङ्गिणी) is the name of a river (nadī) situated on the other side of the eastern ocean (pūrvāmbudhi), according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 72. Accordingly, as the robber Siṃhavikrama reflected: “... and at present the hermit Śveta is on the other side of the eastern ocean, in a grove of ascetics beyond the River Taraṅgiṇī. That grove cannot be invaded by Death, so I will take you and place you there”.

The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story’), mentioning Taraṅgiṇī, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Naravāhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the vidyādharas (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Guṇāḍhya’s Bṛhatkathā consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.

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’.

Nyaya (school of philosophy)

Source: Shodhganga: A study of Nyāya-vaiśeṣika categories

Taraṅgiṇī (तरङ्गिणी), written by Rāmarudra Bhaṭṭācārya, is a commentary on the Bhāṣāpariccheda by Viśvanātha Nyāyapañcānana. The Bhāṣāpariccheda belongs to the syncretic school of Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika. It is known as Kārikāvalī also, on which the author himself has written a commentary called Nyāyasiddhāntamuktāvalī. This work of Viśvanātha has been commented upon by many traditional and modern scholars [viz., the Taraṅgiṇī].

context information

Nyaya (न्याय, nyaya) refers to a school of Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. The Nyaya philosophy is known for its theories on logic, methodology and epistemology, however, it is closely related with Vaisheshika in terms of metaphysics.

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

1) Taraṅginī (तरङ्गिनी) refers to the Goddess Kuṇḍalinī, 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, “Intent on (the practice of) the deposition (of mantra) (nyāsa), meditation, and the repetition (of mantra), he is successful by virtue of (his) association (yoga) with the Krama. By the practice of the offering of bali to the sacred seats, (the goddess) Kuṇḍalinī (Taraṅginī) is full (and satisfied). One should worship (in this way) if one wishes the most excellent accomplishment. Already knowing the purification of the mantras, one should then begin to practice Yoga”.

2) Taraṅgiṇī (तरङ्गिणी) refers to the Gesture associated with Candra, one of the eight Sacred Seats (pīṭha), according to the Yogakhaṇḍa (chapter 14) of the Manthānabhairavatantra.
