In Hinduism

Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)

Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)

Viruta (विरुत) refers to the “croaking (of frogs)” (in the rainy season), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, [while discussing the treatment of hawks]: “[...] In the rainy season, when the clouds thunder, when the sky is lighted up with the flash of lightning, when the fragrance of the Mālatī flower delights all creatures, when the frogs croak (ārāva-viruta) [dardurārāvavirute] and the peacocks dance wildly, [...] These birds should be tended in such a way that regaining their vigour they may cast off their old feathers and assume new ones just as snakes assume a new slough. [...]”.

context information

This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (“performing arts”) and Shastras (“sciences”) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.

In Buddhism

Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Tibetan Buddhism

Viruta (विरुत) is the name of a Kinnara mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa: one of the largest Kriyā Tantras devoted to Mañjuśrī (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) representing an encyclopedia of knowledge primarily concerned with ritualistic elements in Buddhism. The teachings in this text originate from Mañjuśrī and were taught to and by Buddha Śākyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including Viruta).

context information

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.

Languages of India and abroad

Pali-English dictionary

Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary

Viruta, (nt.) (vi+ruta) noise, sound (of animals), cry Sn. 927; explained as “virudaṃ (spelling with d, like ruda for ruta) vuccati-miga-cakkaṃ; miga-cakka-pāthakā (i.e. experts in the ways of animals; knowers of auspices) migacakkaṃ ādisanti” at Nd¹ 382; and as “mig’ādīnaṃ vassitaṃ” at SnA 564. The passage is a little doubtful, when we compare the expression viruṭañ ca gabbhakaraṇaṃ at Sn. 927 with the passage viruddha-gabbhakaraṇaṃ at D. I, 11 (cp. DA. I, 96), which seems more original. (Page 634)

context information

Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.

Sanskrit dictionary

Viruta (विरुत).—p. p.

1) Screamed, shouted.

2) Resounding, filled with cries.

-tam 1 Crying, shrieking, roaring &c.

2) Cry, sound, noise, clamour, din.

3) Singing, humming, chirping, buzzing; परभृतविरुतं कलं यथा प्रतिवचनीकृत- मेभिरीदृशम् (parabhṛtavirutaṃ kalaṃ yathā prativacanīkṛta- mebhirīdṛśam) Ś.4.9.

-tiḥ Screaming, howling.

Viruta (विरुत).—(?) , ppp.-adj., in Lalitavistara 337.15 (verse) seems to mean surpassing; so Tibetan ḥdas pa (normally = Sanskrit ati-kram-): śakyo nāhaṃ tvatsādṛśyair bahubhir api gaṇana-virutair (no v.l.) drumāt praticālituṃ, I cannot be made to retreat from the Tree (of enlightenment) even by many such as you (Māra), surpassing count. The word seems surely corrupt but I have not thought of a good em.; ti-(for ati-) might be read for vi-, but what -ruta represents escapes me; perhaps -gata? Foucaux, Notes 182, cites a v.l. viratai.
