In Hinduism
Kavya (poetry)
Source: Wisdom Library: Kath膩sarits膩gara惭腻办补苍诲颈办腻 (啶ぞ啶曕え啷嵿う啶苦啶�) is the name of a city situated on the bank of the Ganges, according to the 鈥淪tory of the Hypocritical Ascetic鈥� in the Kath膩sarits膩gara, chapter 15.
The Kath膩sarits膩gara (鈥榦cean of streams of story鈥�), mentioning 惭腻办补苍诲颈办腻, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Narav膩hanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Gu峁嚹佱笉hya鈥檚 B峁沨atkath膩 consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
Kavya (啶曕ぞ啶掂啶�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or 鈥榚pic poetry鈥� and natya, or 鈥榙ramatic poetry鈥�.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra惭腻办补苍诲颈办补 (啶ぞ啶曕え啷嵿う啶苦) or M膩gandika is the name of a Brahmac膩rin according to Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra (chapter VI). Accordingly, 鈥湶涯灏觳共曰寰卑觳光�檚 disciples were carrying his corpse (办耻峁嘺辫补) on a litter (办丑补峁璿腻) through the city (nagara). While they were walking through the crowd, they proclaimed: 鈥楾hose who see the body of 惭腻办补苍诲颈办补 with their eyes will all obtain the path of purity (惫颈艣耻诲诲丑颈-尘腻谤驳补), all the more so those who will venerate and honor it鈥�.鈥�.
Note: With regard to the M膩ga峁囜笉ikas, T. W. Rhys-Davids says: 鈥淭his name is probably derived from the name of the founder of a corporate body. But all their records have perished and we know nothing of them otherwise.鈥� The present passage of the Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra tells us that these M膩ga峁囜笉ikas, one of whom are known, are the disciples of the Brahmac膩rin M膩gandika who promenaded the corpse of their teacher and promised salvation to those who contemplated it.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.
