±õ³¦³¦³óÄå (इचà¥à¤›à¤�, “willâ€�):—One of the names attributed to DevÄ«, as chanted by the Vedas in their hymns, who were at the time incarnated in their personified forms. See the ¶Ù±ð±¹Ä«-²ú³óÄå²µ²¹±¹²¹³Ù²¹-±è³Ü°ùÄåṇa chapter 5.51-68, called â€�the narrative of HayagrÄ«vaâ€�.

1) ±õ³¦³¦³óÄå (इचà¥à¤›à¤�) refers to “desireâ€�, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubji°ìÄå³¾²¹ta-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the KubjikÄ cult.—The form of the goddess is, as one would expect, particularly erotic in KÄmarÅ«pa. There she is ‘made haughty by the enjoyment of passionâ€� (°ìÄå³¾²¹²ú³ó´Ç²µ²¹-°ì°ùá¹­a-Äåá¹­o±èÄå). Her aroused erotic nature is symbolized by her fluidity; she melts and flows. She is also arousing, causing ‘the three worldsâ€� to melt and flow by the force of her desire (¾±³¦³¦³óÄå). Thus, in a mantra she is addressed as ‘she who causes sperm to flowâ€� (Å›³Ü°ì°ù²¹»å°ùÄå±¹¾±á¹‡Ä�).

2) ±õ³¦³¦³óÄå (इचà¥à¤›à¤�) refers to one of the eight YoginÄ«s (²â´Ç²µ¾±²ÔÄ«-²¹á¹£á¹­²¹°ì²¹) associated with KÄmÄkhya (corresponding to the eastern face of Bhairava), according to the ManthÄnabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess KubjikÄ.—[...] The eight YoginÄ«s (²â´Ç²µ¾±²Ô²â²¹á¹£á¹­²¹°ì²¹): ViÅ›ÄlÄ, PÄrthivÄ, Yaká¹£Ä�, DhÅ«rjaá¹­Ä�, V¾±á¹£abhaká¹£aṇÄ�, SarvasiddhipradÄ, Tuṣṭi, ±õ³¦³¦³óÄå, SiddhipradÄyakÄ«.

3) ±õ³¦³¦³óÄå (इचà¥à¤›à¤�) or ±õ³¦³¦³óÄåÅ›²¹kti refers to the “energy of willâ€� and represents one of the five-fold energy in Kula, according to the KularatnapañcakÄvatÄra verse 1.16-23ab.—Accordingly, “Will (¾±³¦³¦³óÄåÅ›²¹ktiâ€�¾±³¦³¦³óÄå ... Å›²¹ktiá¸� pañcavidhÄ), knowledge, action and bliss—the fifth—is said to be Kuṇá¸alÄ«. That (reality), which has been explained in many ways, is the five-fold energy in Kula. O fair lady, know that (this) Kula teaching is internal and it pervades the entire universe along with the gods, demons and warlocksâ€�.

These 360 rays represent 360 syllables (i.e., a consummation of the Å›²¹²ú»å²¹±è°ù²¹±è²¹Ã±³¦²¹ or 50 alphabets) as well as the principles of nature. For the 360 syllables, together with ³ó²¹á¹� and ²õ²¹á¸�, NyÄsa should be performed for ÅšrÄ«cakrapÅ«jÄ.

2) ±õ³¦³¦³óÄå (इचà¥à¤›à¤�) refers to one of the ten SiddhadevÄ«s and part of the twenty-eight Goddesses residing in the Trailokyamohanacakra which represents one of the nine Ä€varaṇa-Cakras of ÅšrÄ«cakra (the nucleus of Tantric philosophy) which are related to the fifteen-lettered chant called ÅšrÄ«vidyÄ, according to Åšaá¹…karÄcÄrya’s SaudaryalaharÄ«.—By the worship on ÅšrÄ«cakra, the Goddess (whose presence is represented is ÅšrÄ«cakra) will get awakened. This is the beginning of the spiritual consciousness in man. The nine Cakras in the ÅšrÄ«cakra are called Äå±¹²¹°ù²¹á¹‡a³¦²¹°ì°ù²¹²õ.—BhÅ«puratraya having four openings is called Trailokyamohanacakra with white (outermost), light red (middle) the and yellow (innermost) colours. TripurÄdevÄ« controls the twenty-eight goddesses [e.g., ±õ³¦³¦³óÄå] who exist here.

Nyaya (school of philosophy)

: Shodhganga: A study of NyÄya-vaiÅ›eá¹£ika categories

±õ³¦³¦³óÄå (इचà¥à¤›à¤�, “desireâ€�) and Dveá¹£a (aversion) refers to two of the twenty-four ²µ³Üṇa²õ (qualities) according to PraÅ›²¹stapÄda and all the modern works on NyÄya-VaiÅ›eá¹£ika.—±õ³¦³¦³óÄ� (desire) and »å±¹±ðá¹£a (aversion) is also a pair of qualities (²µ³Üṇa) like sukha and »å³Üḥk³ó²¹. These two are also correlated qualities, but they are not contradictory to each. That means one is not the negation of the other; but both are positive qualities.

PraÅ›²¹stapÄda says that ¾±³¦³¦³óÄå (desire) is wishing for something which is not yet obtained, either for the sake of one’s own self or for other. This quality is produced from conjunction of the self and manas, pleasurable feeling and recollection of the pleasurable feelings of the past. It is of different typesâ€�

  1. desire for sexual pleasure is known as °ìÄå³¾²¹,
  2. that for food is known as ²¹²ú³ó¾±±ôÄå²õ²¹;
  3. desire for enjoyment of pleasurable objects again and again is known as °ùÄå²µ²¹;
  4. that for future deed is known as ²õ²¹á¹ƒk²¹±ô±è²¹;
  5. desire to relieve the pain of others without any selfishness is known as °ìÄå°ù³Ü²Ô²â²¹á¹�;
  6. desire to avoid pleasurable objects as these are false is known as ±¹²¹¾±°ùÄå²µ²â²¹;
  7. desire to deceive others is known as ³Ü±è²¹»å³óÄå.

There are many more kinds of desire (¾±³¦³¦³óÄå).

Annaṃbhaá¹­á¹­a gives very short definition of ¾±³¦³¦³óÄå and »å±¹±ðá¹£a. ±õ³¦³¦³óÄå is longing and »å±¹±ðá¹£a is irritation. He has not elaborated these definitions. ViÅ›vanÄtha appears to be a little more elaborate in these respects. In his view craving for painlessness and pleasure is desire (¾±³¦³¦³óÄå) and it arises from the knowledge of them. Desire is twofold–that relating to the result and that relating to the means. Result is twofold, viz., pleasure and absence of pain. The cause of the desire for the result is the knowledge of the desire. The desire for the means is caused by the knowledge of its conduciveness to what is desirable. According to ViÅ›vanÄtha, »å±¹±ðá¹£a, on the other hand, is caused by the notion of producing something repugnant.

±õ³¦³¦³óÄå (इचà¥à¤›à¤�) refers to the â€�(the power of) willâ€�, according to SomÄnanda’s Åšivadṛṣṭi verse 1.26-29.—Accordingly, “If you object by asking how there can be understanding in the absence of the intellect, the intellect being produced from matter and not connected to it, (we reply:) that is the intellect that exists in the ²¹±è²¹°ùÄå condition. By contrast, the subtle, all-pervasive (power of) cognition, which is pure understanding, is eternally Åšiva’s natural state. It is not the same as that of the NaiyÄyikas and others, because they only contend that material knowledge is a quality of the (individual) self, not of the supreme knower. Of course, the same argument clearly should apply to (the power of) will [i.e., ¾±³¦³¦³óÄå±Õâ€�.
