In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Taya (तय).—tad. affix तयप् (tayap) applied to a numeral (संख्या (saṃkhyā)) in the sense of अवयविन् (avayavin) or 'possessed of parts'; e. g. पञ्च अवयवा अस्य पञ्चतयम्, दशतयम्, चतुष्टयी (pañca avayavā asya pañcatayam, daśatayam, catuṣṭayī); cf. Kas. on P. V. 2.42. अय (aya) is substituted for तय (taya) optionally after the numerals द्वि (dvi) and त्रि (tri) and necessarily after उभ (ubha); cf. P. V. 2.43-44.
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.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Tayaa in Mongolian is another name for Ananta—one of the “Twenty-Five Kalkis” (Tibetan: rigs ldan) as well as the “Thirty-two kings of Shambhala”, according to the Tibetan oral recounting and written texts such as the Kalachakra Tantra (kālacakratantra), dealing with the Buddhist conception of the end of the world and time.—The Tibetan mythic land (the kingdom of Shambhala) is a parallel world invisible and inaccessible to common people which is closely related to the teaching about the Wheel of Time (dus 'khor). The seven Dharmarajas and twenty-five Kulikas [e.g., khaan tayaa] are the traditional rulers of Shambhala, passing on the reign from father to son.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
