In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Tripada (त्रिपद).—Made up of a collection of three padas or words; the word is used in connection with a Rk or a portion of the kramapatha: cf. यथोक्तं पुनरुक्तं त्रिपदप्रभृति (yathoktaṃ punaruktaṃ tripadaprabhṛti) T.Pr.I.61. The word is found used in connection with a bahuvrihi compound made up of three words; cf. the term त्रिपद-बहुव्रीहि (tripada-bahuvrīhi).
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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Tripāda (त्रिपाद).—A demon. In the battle between the demons and the devas Subrahmaṇya slew this demon. (Śloka 75, Chapter 46, Śalya Parva).
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)
Nighantu (Synonyms and Characteristics of Drugs and technical terms)
Tripadā (त्रिपदा) is another name for Haṃsapādī, a medicinal plant possibly identified with Adiantum lunulatum Burm. from the Pteridaceae family of flowering plants, according to verse 5.109-113 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. The fifth chapter (parpaṭādi-varga) of this book enumerates sixty varieties of smaller plants (kṣudra-kṣupa). Together with the names Tripadā and Haṃsapādī, there are a total of twenty-six Sanskrit synonyms identified for this plant. Note: Haṃsapādī is claimed as a variety of Lajjālu by Dh. and Rājanighaṇṭu.
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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Tripāda (त्रिपाद) refers to the “three planes” (of the triadic universe), 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, [while describing the Niṣkala Form of Śrīnātha]—“[...] The attendants of the teacher are twelve and are located in the middle of the staff of the Egg of Brahmā. Free, he resides in the middle of the ocean of nectar (of the Yoni) and he satisfies the universe. They too are the energizers of the letters and are adorned with the Twelve Jewels. They are on the three planes (tripāda) (of the triadic universe) and * * * are said to be (both) differentiated and without (phenomenal) qualities”.
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.
General definition (in Hinduism)
Tripada (त्रिपद) (or dvipada) refers to the unit called prakrama (used during construction of Hindu temples), according to Rudradātta’s commentary on Āpastambaśrautasūtra.—In the Āpastambaśrautasūtra, the measurement of the abode of āhavanīya fire is mentioned with the unit of prakrama and it fixes the area as eight prakrama for Brahmins. In the commentary of Rudradātta on Āpastambaśrautasūtra, the unit called prakrama is identified as dvipada or tripada. In the later period, the practice of worship of image as well as the necessity of the construction of temple came into being gradually.
India history and geography
Tripada.—(LP), the three chief account books, viz. rojmol, khātā-vahī and pāvtī-vahī. Note: tripada is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
