In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Tibetan Buddhism惭腻苍补蝉墨 (啶ぞ啶ㄠじ啷�) is the name of Vidy膩r膩j帽墨 (i.e., 鈥渨isdom queen鈥�) mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century Ma帽ju艣r墨m奴lakalpa: one of the largest Kriy膩 Tantras devoted to Ma帽ju艣r墨 (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) representing an encyclopedia of knowledge primarily concerned with ritualistic elements in Buddhism. The teachings in this text originate from Ma帽ju艣r墨 and were taught to and by Buddha 艢膩kyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including 惭腻苍补蝉墨).
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鈥檚 words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (惫补箩谤补测腻苍补) are collected indepently.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: The Jaina Iconography1) 惭腻苍补蝉墨 (啶ぞ啶ㄠじ啷�) (or Kandarp膩 or Pa峁囜箛ag膩dev墨) is the name of the Yak峁峁嚹� accompanying 顿丑补谤尘补苍腻迟丑补: the fifteenth of twenty-four T墨rtha峁僰aras or Jinas, commonly depicted in Jaina iconography.鈥擺...] Descriptions from the 艢vet膩mbara books make her ride upon a horse or a fish and appear in sculpture with four hands, adorned with a lotus, goad, lotus and Abhaya. 惭腻苍补蝉墨, the Digambara variant of the same Yak峁峁嚹�, is described from their point of view, as riding a tiger, and holding in her six hands a lotus, bow, Varada, goad, arrow and lotus. The origin of symbols, it must have been noticed, is of irregular character. The fish symbol of the Yak峁峁嚹� seems to be due to the identical symbol of her consort Ki峁囜箛ara as furnished by the Digambara books. It is hardly easy to see any possible connection between her name as Kandarp膩 and the Brahmanic God, Kandarpa or K膩ma.
The name 惭腻苍补蝉墨 has very probable relation with 鈥淢anasij膩鈥� implying the same idea. Thus, the other name of Pa峁囜箛ag膩dev墨 or the Goddess of snakes might have been derived from Manas膩, who is characteristically a goddess of snakes. 惭腻苍补蝉墨 is also a deity, in the list of the Vidy膩dev墨s and as such, she is interestingly seen to be symbolised by a snake. Her tiger vehicIe, in this instance, shows her a prototype of V膩g墨艣var墨 (goddess of learning) whose figure in Benares shows the same animal as her vehicle.
2) 惭腻苍补蝉墨 (啶ぞ啶ㄠじ啷�) also refers to one of the sixteen Vidy膩dev墨s (goddesses of learning).鈥敳涯宀圆共跄� of 艢vet膩mbara conception has two types in iconography. According to one, she rides a swan and bears the attributes of Varada and Vajra. According to another, she sits on a lion and has four hands carrying Varada-mudr膩, Vajra, rosary and again Vajra. The Digambara 惭腻苍补蝉墨 seats herself on a snake vehicle. 惭腻苍补蝉墨 by name and by the symbol of swan, Vajra and lion seems to be based upon a mixture of ideas. The swan symbol is very apt and is in keeping with the traditional emblem of the goddess of learning. The Buddhist deity of learning called V膩g墨艣var墨, who has a famous temple in Benares rides on a lion. Thus, there must be some undercurrent of interrelation in the symbolism. She rides a tiger. In this case, the Digambara Vidy膩dev墨 rides a snake. This appears to be due to the fact of 惭腻苍补蝉墨 and Manas膩 having the same literal sense.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
