Shilpashastra (iconography)

: Google Books: The Theory of Citrasutras in Indian Painting

According to the Բra (LV.1–9), there are six types of measurement (Բ) to be taken along the body of an image. The text enumerates these measurements as follows:

  1. Բ or measurement of the length of the body;
  2. ṇa or measurement of its breadth;
  3. unԲ or measurement of thickness;
  4. 貹ṇa or measurement of girth;
  5. upaԲ or measurement of inter-spaces;
  6. lambaԲ or measurement taken along the plumb-lines or ūٰ.

Բ refers to the vertical measurements such as the distance fro mthe hair-limit to the eye-line, from that point to the tip of the noswe, the length of the arms and of the legs and so on.

These measurements constitute the six kinds of iconometric measurements as applied to standing, seated an reclining images (see also Marasinghe 1994, p. xiv). However it is difficult to find a text that uses all six of them. The Śivatattva Ratnkara, for example, enumerates only three types: length, breadth and depth (Krishnamurthi 1995, p. 177). The Ś貹ٲԲ explains the lambaԲ, and in the Viṣṇudharmottara Purṇa and the 侱ٰṣṇa of Nagnajit all the measurements except the lambaԲ are employed.

1) Բ (मा�) refers to the “measurements (for icons)�, as discussed in chapter 19 (Kripda) of the ʲ峾ṃh: the most widely followed of Saṃhit covering the entire range of concerns of Pñcartra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter�ñԲ, yoga, and ) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—Description of the chapter [prati-Բ-vidhi]: This chapter is exclusively given over to iconometry. The first section is on the anatomical parts of a Viṣṇu icon—the parts treated both individually and in relation to one another (1-101a). The second section details the measurements and relative proportions of His ornamentation (101b-132a ).

2) Բ (मा�) refers to the “standards of measurements� (for icons), as discussed in chapter 22 of the վś峾ٰṃh: a Pñcartra text comprising some 2600 Sanskrit verses covering topics such as initiation (īṣ�) and the construction, decoration and consecration of temples and icons, as well as routines of regular and special worship cycles.—Description of the chapter [bimba-Բ]: Viśvmitra undertakes here to speak about the construction of icons, turning first to the selection and collection of the gems, metal or stone from which icons will be made (1-20). He then speaks of the proportionate measurements of temple and icon, with some specific recommendations for icons, their pedestals, and other subsidiary icons (21-67).

There are 52 varieties of viԲs mentioned [e.g., Madara] based on differences of -measurements and ṣṭԲ-basements; but the treatment upon examination gives only the most superficial of distinctions between one type and another.

Accordingly, “when they heard Sumeru say this, and he himself led the way, they all, Sūryaprabha and the others, went to the mountain Hemakūṭa. And on the north side of it they reached a beautiful lake named Բsa, which seemed to have been the first assay of the Creator’s skill when making the sea, which eclipsed with its full-blown golden lotuses, shaken by the wind, the faces of the heavenly nymphs sporting in the water�.

1. Mana. Youngest brother and viceroy of Aggabodhi III. (Sirisanghabodhi). He was governor of Dakkhinadesa. He was later found guilty of an offence in the womens apartments of the palace and was treacherously killed by the court officers. Cv.xliv.84,123f.

2. Mana. Eldest son of Kassapa II. (Cv.xlv.6) His full name was Manavamma. (Regarding these names, Mana and Manavamma, see Cv. Trs.i.192, n. 3.). He was very young when his father died, and, when the government fell into the hands of Dappula I. and later of Dathopatissa II., he left Uttaradesa, where he was living in retirement with his wife Sangha, and went to Jambudipa, there to take service under the Pallava king, Narasiha (for details see Cv.xivii.9ff., 15ff). He won the kings favor and very loyally helped him to defeat the Vallabha king. He then raised an army with the help of Narasiha, landed in Ceylon, and recovered the kingdom from Dathopatissa. But later his army deserted him on hearing tidings of Narasihas illness and Mana returned once more to Jambudipa. Some time after he came again to Ceylon with a large army and defeated Hatthadatha, the reigning king, and his general Potthakuttha. In the confusion which followed, Hatthadatha was killed and Potthakuttha was poisoned at Merukandara. Mana thereupon became king and did many acts of merit, including the erection of the Padhanarakkha and the Sirisanghabodhi viharas, also the Sepanni and Siri pasadas. Mana was a supporter of the Pamsukulins. Cv.xlvii.1ff. Manavamma reigned circa 676 711 A.C.

3. Mana (also called Manavamma). He was the nephew of Kassapa II. and the son of Dappula I. Kassapa handed over the kingdom to him at the time of his death, his own children being very young. When Kassapa died, the Damilas attacked Ceylon, but Mana, with his fathers help, repulsed them and crowned his father king. When Hatthadatha heard of this, he came with a large force and seized the throne under the name of Dathopatissa II. Mana went to the Eastern Province, while Dappula returned to Rohana. Later, Mana led a rebellion against Dathopatissa and was killed in battle (Cv.xlv.1ff.; 52, 77ff). His mother was the sister of Kassapa II. and the daughter of King Silameghavanna. Cv. Trs.i.94, n. 1.

4. Mana. Called Mulapotthaki. He was an officer of Parakkamabahu I. and, in one campaign, defeated Lokagalla Vikkama at Mahagama. Cv.lxxv.139f.

Conceit;

Mana is conceit. It is an alternative form of ditthi or lobha. Instead of revealing greediness or wrong view it behaves conceitedly. Mana shows up proud. This again is inability to see realities.

: Pali Kanon: Manual of Buddhist Terms and Doctrines

'conceit', pride, is one of the 10 fetters binding to existence (s. samyojana). It vanishes completely only at the entrance to Arahatship, or Holiness (cf. asmi-Բ). It is further one of the proclivities (s. anusaya) and defilements (s. kilesa). "

The (equality-) conceit (Բ), the inferiority-conceit (oԲ) and the superiority-conceit (atiԲ): this threefold conceit should be overcome. For, after overcoming this threefold conceit, the monk, through the full penetration of conceit, is said to have put an end suffering" (A. VI, 49).

"Those ascetics and brahman priests who, relying on this impermanent, miserable and transitory nature of corporeality, feelings, perceptions, mental formations and consciousness, fancy: 'Better am I', or 'Equal am I', or 'Worse am I', all these imagine thus through not understanding reality" (S. XXII, 49).

In reality no ego-entity is to be found. Cf. anatt.

-- or --

'mind', is in the Abhidhamma used as synonym of viññԲ (consciousness) and citta (state of consciousness, mind).

According to the Com. to Vis.M., it sometimes means sub-consciousness (s. bhavanga-sota).

: Dhamma Study: Cetasikas

Conceit, mana, is another akusala cetasika. There is conceit or pride when we consider ourselves important. Because of conceit we may compare ourselves with others.

The three ways of comparing oneself with other may occur in someone who is actually superior, in someone who is actually equal and in someone who is actually inferior.

Բsa, (nt.) (a secondary formation fr. manas=mano, already Vedic lit. “belonging to mind�) intention, purpose, mind (as active force), mental action. Almost equivalent to mano Dhs. § 6. In later language Բsa is quite synonymous with hadaya. The word, used absolutely, is more a t. t. in philosophy than a living part of the language. It is more frequent as —� in adj. use, where its connection with mano is still more felt. Its absolute use probably originated from the latter use.—DhsA. 140 (=mano); Vbh. 144 sq. (in definition of viññṇa as citta�, mano, Բsa�, hadaya� etc. : see mano II. 3); DhA.

See under Գٲḥkṇaٳṣṭⲹ & antaḥkarṇa- pañcaka. 2 The heart or the sphere of the sensibility; the seat of the sentiments, passions, and affections. 3 The conscience or moral sense.
