Rasashastra (Alchemy and Herbo-Mineral preparations)

Sa峁卥rama峁嘺 (啶膏啷嵿啷嵿ぐ啶ぃ, 鈥渢ransformation鈥�) refers to 鈥渁cquiring power of transformation or penetration鈥� represents to the sixteenth of eighteen alchemical purification processes of mercury (mah膩rasa, rasendra or p膩rada). A religio-philosophic base was given to mercury-based alchemy in India. Mercury was looked upon as the essence of God 艢iva, and sulphur as that of Goddess P膩rvat墨.

Mercury had to undergo 18 processes (e.g., 蝉补峁卥谤补尘补峁嘺) before it could be used for transforming either metals or the human body. A combination of male and female principles (i.e. mercury and sulphur) forming cinnabar or mercuric sulphide or even of mercury and mica, was supposed to be highly potent and was therefore consumed as a Ras膩yana or medicine for increasing body fluids or vitality. The earliest mention of Ras膩yana was found in 膧yurveda which was probably composed by 8th or 9th century BC, since it was a part of Atharvaveda, the last of the four Vedas.

1) 厂补峁僰谤补尘补峁嘺 (啶膏啶曕啶班ぎ啶�) refers to the 鈥渢ransmission (of the command)鈥�, according to the Manth膩nabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjik膩.鈥擳he origin of the goddess Kubjik膩, the teachings and their transmission are all the result of the power and transmission (蝉补峁僰谤补尘补峁嘺) of the Command (腻箩帽腻). The major transformations and empowerments that occur to both the god and the goddess and, indeed to the entire world in which the myth unfolds, are due to its power that is so extraordinary that even they are astonished by its marvelous effect.

2) 厂补峁僰谤腻尘补峁嘺 (啶膏啶曕啶班ぞ啶ぃ) refers to 鈥渢ransferring (one鈥檚 consciousness)鈥�, according to the Kubjik膩nity膩hnikatilaka: a derative text drawing from Tantras and other sources such as the 峁峁璼膩hasrasa峁僪it膩.鈥擜ccordingly, Dehila is the birth-name of 惭腻迟补峁単补鈥攐ne of the Nine N膩thas who propagated the Western Transmission noted in the Kubjik膩 Tantras. The Kubjik膩nity膩hnikatilaka describes the extraordinary events that inspired his 鈥渇amed names鈥�: Dehila was called Gajaprabodh膩nandadeva (膧nandadeva who was the Awakening of the Elephant) because he transferred his consciousness (腻迟尘补-蝉补峁僰谤腻尘补峁嘺) into an elephant that died seven days before and revived it. He was called Kuntaprastambhadeva because he checked the course of the spear of passion in the form of a woman (kunt膩 v膩m膩). He was called Vyom膩nandan膩tha because he saw the moon in the sky, presumably during the day.

Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)

: archive.org: Hindu Mathematics

Sa峁卥rama峁嘺 (啶膏啷嵿啷嵿ぐ啶ぃ) refers to 鈥�(the rule of) concurrence鈥�, according to the principles of B墨jaga峁噄ta (鈥渁lgebra鈥� or 鈥榮cience of calculation鈥�), according to Ga峁噄ta-艣膩stra, ancient Indian mathematics and astronomy.鈥擮ne topic commonly discussed by almost all Hindu writers goes by the special name of 蝉补峁卥谤补尘补峁嘺 (concurrence). According to Narayana (1350), it is also called 蝉补峁卥谤补尘补 and 蝉补峁卥谤腻尘补. Brahmagupta (628) includes it in algebra while others consider it as falling within the scope of arithmetic. As explained by the commentator Ga峁単膩dhara (1420), the subject of discussion here is 鈥渢he investigation of two quantities concurrent or grown together in the form of their sum and difference鈥�.

Or, in other words, 蝉补峁卥谤补尘补峁嘺 is the solution of the simultaneous equations.

x + y = a,
x - y = b.

So Brahmagupta and 艢r墨pati are perfectly right in thinking that concurrence is truly a topic for algebra.

Brahmagupta (628) in the Br膩hmasphu峁璦siddh膩nta: 鈥淭he sum is increased and diminished by the difference and divided by two; (the result will be the two unknown quantities): (this is) concurrence (蝉补峁卥谤补尘补峁嘺)鈥�.

context information

Ganita (啶椸ぃ啶苦い) or Ganitashastra refers to the ancient Indian science of mathematics, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, etc. Closely allied with astronomy, both were commonly taught and studied in universities, even since the 1st millennium BCE. Ganita-shastra also includes ritualistic math-books such as the Shulba-sutras.
