: The University of Texas at Austin: Chapter 7 of the CarakasaṃhitÄ CikitsÄsthÄnaThe term »å³óÅ«³¾²¹ “smokeâ€� here in Chapter 7 has been rendered ‘smokingâ€� or ‘inhalationâ€� by the translations of both R.K. Sharma and Priyavrat Sharma, but the latter also offers ‘snuffâ€� as another alternative. In the ³§Å«³Ù°ù²¹²õ³Ù³óÄå²Ô²¹ section of the CarakasaṃhitÄ (Chap. 5, Å›loka 26), Sharma and Bhagwan Dash employ the term ‘cigarâ€� to describe the procedure of »å³óÅ«³¾²¹, thus suggesting the use of paraphernalia to deliver the smoke.

Vastushastra (architecture)
Source: Wisdom Library: VÄstu-Å›Ästra¶Ù³óÅ«³¾Äå (धूमा, “smokeâ€�) refers to “she-buffaloâ€� and represents the second of eight yoni (womb), according to the MÄnasÄra. Yoni is the fourth of the Äå²âÄå»å¾±á¹£aá¸v²¹°ù²µ²¹, or “six principlesâ€� that constitute the “horoscopeâ€� of an architectural or iconographic object. Their application is intended to “verifyâ€� the measurements of the architectural and iconographic object against the dictates of astrology that lay out the conditions of auspiciousness.
The particular yoni (e.g., »å³óÅ«³¾Äå) of all architectural and iconographic objects (settlement, building, image) must be calculated and ascertained. This process is based on the principle of the remainder. An arithmetical formula to be used in each case is stipulated, which engages one of the basic dimensions of the object (breadth, length, or perimeter/circumference). The first, third, fifth and seventh yonis are considered auspicious and therefore to be preferred, and the rest, inauspicious and to be avoided.

Vastushastra (वासà¥à¤¤à¥à¤¶à¤¾à¤¸à¥à¤¤à¥à¤�, vÄstuÅ›Ästra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions. Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.

Accordingly as BrahmÄ narrated to NÄrada:—“[...] then I began to consider proper means whereby I could see the face. Afflicted much by the cupid, I pitched upon the production of airful smoke (»å³óÅ«³¾°ù²¹) as the means thereof. I put many wet twigs into the fire. Only very little ghee did I pour into the fire. Much smoke (»å³óÅ«³¾²¹) arose out of the fire from the wet twigs, so much so that darkness enveloped the whole altar ground (and the neighbourhood)â€�
2) ¶Ù³óÅ«³¾²¹ (धूà¤�) refers to the “smokeâ€� (of the sacrificial fire), according to the ÅšivapurÄṇa 2.3.15 (“The penance and reign of TÄrakÄsuraâ€�).—Accordingly, as BrahmÄ narrated: “Then the demon TÄraka, of great strength and exploit, endowed with a lofty mind, requested permission of his mother for performing penance. [...] A hundred years he performed the penance amidst fires, a hundred years in a topsy-turvy position and a hundred years supported on the ground by the palms of his hands. O sage, a hundred years he remained with his head down and feet up clinging fast to the branch of a tree and inhaling the pure smoke [i.e., Å›uci-»å³óÅ«³¾²¹] of the sacrificial fire. [...]â€�.

The Purana (पà¥à¤°à¤¾à¤�, purÄṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.

How they affect the earth depends upon their color, position and shape. [...] If the solar spots should be of the shape of the emblems of royalty such as chatra (umbrella), dhvaja (flag staff) and ³¦Äå³¾²¹°ù²¹ (hairy fan) and the like, the reigning prince will be dethroned and a foreign prince will begin to reign. If the spots should appear like sparks of fire, like the smoke [i.e., »å³óÅ«³¾²¹] and the like, his subjects will sufferâ€�.
2) ¶Ù³óÅ«³¾²¹ (धूà¤�) refers to “cometsâ€�, according to the Bá¹›hatsaṃhitÄ (chapter 13).—Accordingly, “If the Ṛṣis should be crossed by meteoric falls, thunderbolts or comets [i.e., ulkÄ-aÅ›ani-»å³óÅ«³¾²¹-Ädya], or if they should appear dim or without rays or of very small disc, they will cause misery and suffering to the persons and objects they severally represent; but if they should appear big or bright there will be happiness and prosperityâ€�.

Jyotisha (जà¥à¤¯à¥‹à¤¤à¤¿à¤�, Âá²â´Ç³Ù¾±á¹£a or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomyâ€� or “Vedic astrologyâ€� and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas).

I, 326.—Accordingly, “[...] Among these [two types of inference,] who would not admit the validity of an inference such as that [of fire] from smoke (»å³óÅ«³¾²¹-anumÄna)? So [people] apprehend what is to be established [by such an inference] even though they are not pestered by logicians. But the validity of an inference regarding such [entities] as the Self, God, an omniscient or an afterlife is not acknowledged by those who know realityâ€�.

Shilpashastra (शिलà¥à¤ªà¤¶à¤¾à¤¸à¥à¤¤à¥à¤°, Å›ilpaÅ›Ästra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.
Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)
: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)¶Ù³óÅ«³¾²¹ (धूà¤�) refers to “smokeâ€� (which could be dangerous to the eyes of Hawks), according to the Åš²â²¹¾±²Ô¾±°ì²¹-Å›Äå²õ³Ù°ù²¹: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by RÄjÄ Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, [while discussing the treatment of hawks]: “If a white spot forms on the eyes owing to heat, smoke (»å³óÅ«³¾²¹) or some kind of hurt, then the eyes are to be filled with the fine powder of the root of Oxalis monadelpha. A hawk gets rid of this disease in eighteen days. [...]â€�.

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 Buddhism1) ¶Ù³óÅ«³¾²¹ (धूà¤�) refers to one of the various Grahas and MahÄgrahas mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century MañjuÅ›rÄ«mÅ«lakalpa: one of the largest KriyÄ Tantras devoted to MañjuÅ›rÄ« (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) representing an encyclopedia of knowledge primarily concerned with ritualistic elements in Buddhism. The teachings in this text originate from MañjuÅ›rÄ« and were taught to and by Buddha ÅšÄkyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including ¶Ù³óÅ«³¾²¹).
2) ¶Ù³óÅ«³¾Äå (धूमा) is also the name of a PiÅ›ÄcÄ« mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century MañjuÅ›rÄ«mÅ«lakalpa.
: Brill: Åšaivism and the Tantric Traditions (tantric Buddhism)¶Ù³óÅ«³¾²¹ (धूà¤�) refers to “smokeâ€�, according to the BhūśalyasÅ«trapÄtananimittavidhi section of Jagaddarpaṇa’s Ä€cÄryakriyÄsamuccaya, a text within Tantric Buddhism dealing with construction manual for monasteries etc.—Accordingly, “[...] If a frog croaks, there is danger of water in the [donor’s?] house. If smoke (»å³óÅ«³¾²¹) [is seen], there is distraction of mind. If a person suffering from a disease, a person of a lower [class], a person suffering from leprosy, a deranged person, and a woman are seen, then it causes diseaseâ€�.
: MDPI Books: The Ocean of Heroes¶Ù³óÅ«³¾²¹ (धूà¤�) refers to “smokeâ€�, according to the 10th-century ḌÄkÄrṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly: “[...] One thousand bindus are in the prongs, [which run] upward from the navel area. He should meditate on the bindus in the ten prongs in sequence. By smoke (»å³óÅ«³¾²¹) and others [»å³óÅ«³¾Äådi], he should make move the 100 [bindus] in the seats of bindus. From that, however subtle the thing might be, it is not a [discriminated] object of sense for the Awakened Ones. He [becomes] completely awakened, [which is] the ³¾²¹³óÄå³¾³Ü»å°ùÄå or Great Seal, through the meditation on the adamantine vital airs [...]â€�.
Note: The BohitÄ does not clarify what the “smoke and othersâ€� [»å³óÅ«³¾Äådi] means. They perhaps indicate the steps starting with smoking to ignite the inner fire at the center of the navel area. According to the BohitÄ, the “seats of bindusâ€� signify the middle of the forehead. It is generally taught in the Buddhist tantras that there is an inner circle or Chakra in the middle of the forehead or in the head, in which nectars of immortality (²¹³¾á¹›t²¹) or awakening minds (bodhicitta) (equivalent to the bindus in this practice) are produced.

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 (±¹²¹Âá°ù²¹²âÄå²Ô²¹) are collected indepently.

The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
