In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Tejasvī (तेजस्वी).—One of the five Indras. (See under Pāñcālī).
Tejasvin (तेजस्विन्) refers to a “resplendent being”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.29 (“The previous birth of Śaṅkhacūḍa”).—Accordingly, [after Śaṅkhacūḍa married Tulasī]: “When Śaṅkhacūḍa returned home duly married, after performing the penance and receiving the boons, Dānavas and others rejoiced. Leaving their world and accompanied by their preceptor, the Asuras assembled (saṃmilita) and approached the Dānava. They bowed to that resplendent (tejasvin) Dānava their lord, humbly and eulogised him with love and respect. They stayed with him alone. [...]”.
Tejasvī (तेजस्वी).—A son of Kuthuma.*
- * Vāyu-purāṇa 61. 38.
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.
Ayurveda (science of life)
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
Tejasvī (तेजस्वी) refers to “energetic” or “dignified” (elephants)”, according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 1, “on the origin of elephants”]: “[...] The handsome elephant called ‘state’, originating in the first world age and in spring, has his entire body not over-stout, has rosy color, (great) girth and length, is enduring, mountain ranging, a good caravaner, sensitive according to the meaning (of the stimulus applied in driving him), resolute, energetic (tejasvī) (or, dignified), great, has a roar like a (thunder-) cloud, is loved by the cows, is heroic, has tawny eyes and tusks, and well-balanced (bodily) humors”.
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.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Tejasvin (तेजस्विन्) refers to one of the “Seven Dharma kings” (Tibetan: chos rgyal bdun) 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 [e.g., Tejasvin] and twenty-five Kulikas are the traditional rulers of Shambhala, passing on the reign from father to son.
Tejasvin is also known as Tejin, Taji, and in Tibetan as (1) Ziji Chän (2) Zijicen [chos rgyal gzi brdzhid can] (3) Zijichen [gzi brjid can]; and in Mongolian as: Khaan Sivjidtayaa. His traditional reign is considered to be from 776 to 676 BC. Tejasvin is further considered to be an emanation of Yamāntaka.
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.
