Kavya (poetry)
Source: Wisdom Library: Kath膩sarits膩garaUdayana (啶夃う啶え) is the name of the King of Vatsa, according to the Kath膩sarits膩gara, chapter 9. He was born to M峁沢膩vat墨 (the wife of King Sahasr膩n墨ka) while she was taking refuge at the hermitage of Jamadagni. Accordingly,
鈥淎nd some days after the blameless one (M峁沢膩vat墨) gave birth to a charmingly beautiful son... At that moment a voice was heard from heaven: 鈥楢n august king of great renown has been born, Udayana by name, and his son shall be monarch of all the Vidy膩dharas.鈥欌��
The Kath膩sarits膩gara (鈥榦cean of streams of story鈥�), mentioning Udayana, 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.

Nyaya (school of philosophy)
: Shodhganga: A study of Ny膩ya-vai艣e峁ka categoriesUdayana (啶夃う啶え) or Udayan膩c膩rya, also known as Udayakara was one of the greatest Naiy膩yikas. He flourished after V膩caspati Mi艣ra. Udayana was the last of Naiy膩yikas who belong to the old school of Ny膩ya (Pr膩c墨nany膩ya). After that he flourished the Navya-Ny膩ya school. It is also said that Udayana prepared the way for emergence of Navya-Ny膩ya. He wrote a sub-commentary named Ny膩yav膩rtikat膩tparyapari艣奴ddhi on V膩caspati鈥檚 Ny膩yav膩rtikat膩tparya峁玨膩. He refuted the criticisms of the Buddhist logicians against V膩caspati Mi艣ra in this work.
Udayana also wrote some independent works on Ny膩ya system. In his 狈测腻测补-办耻蝉耻尘腻帽箩补濒墨, he has forwarded arguments to prove the existence of God. Another important Ny膩ya work of Udayana is 膧迟尘补迟补迟迟惫补惫颈惫别办补. In this work he tries to establish the Ny膩ya-doctrine of Soul against the attack of Buddhists. The time of Udayana is supposed to be the latter half of the 11th century A.D.
Nyaya (啶ㄠ啶ぞ啶�, nyaya) refers to a school of Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. The Nyaya philosophy is known for its theories on logic, methodology and epistemology, however, it is closely related with Vaisheshika in terms of metaphysics.
Vaisheshika (school of philosophy)
: Shodhganga: A study of Ny膩ya-vai艣e峁ka categories (vaisesika)Udayana (啶夃う啶え) is the author of the Kira峁嚹乿al墨: another important work on Pra艣astap膩da-bh膩峁a. Udayana was contemporary of 艢r墨dhara. Unlike Pra艣astap膩da who omitted non-existence, Udayana maintains that non-existence is a well-established category. Udayana does not accept the view of the S膩峁僰hya, the Vij帽膩nav膩dins and the Bh膩峁弓as about the concept of Mok峁. He discusses in detail seven categories and four Pram膩峁嘺s. He gives arguments to prove the existence of God.
Vaisheshika (啶掂啶多啶粪た啶�, vai艣e峁ka) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. Vaisheshika deals with subjects such as logic, epistemology, philosophy and expounds concepts similar to Buddhism in nature
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraUdayana (啶夃う啶え) refers to the 鈥渞ising鈥� (of the sun), according to the Svacchanda-tantra.鈥擜ccordingly, [verse 4.8-13, while describing auspicious dreams]鈥斺�淸The dreamer] crosses over the ocean and river. Likewise sunrise (产丑腻蝉办补谤补-耻诲补测补苍补) and indeed blazing fire [are auspicious. Also auspicious is when the dreamer] sees planets, constellations, stars and the disk of the moon. [When the dreamer] ascends the palace or a turret of the palace, climbs a mountain top, tree, elephant, young animal, bull, horse, or man. [In auspicious dreams one] sees a chariot and also sees the siddhamantra, obtains the perfected oblation and sees the gods, etc. [...]鈥�
Shaiva (啶多啶�, 艣aiva) or Shaivism (艣aivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra1) Udayana (啶夃う啶え) is the name of a king that, out of attachment to female beauty (谤奴辫补蝉补峁単补), cut off the hands and feet of five hundred 峁氠梗is according to the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra (chapter XXVIII). Udayana (in P膩li Udena) was about to renew this act of cruelty in yet other circumstances: One day he discovered that his palace ladies had given 膧nanda five hundred costly robes; fortunately, 膧nanda was able to explain that gifts made to the community were never lost, and the king, satisfied with this explanation, in turn gave five hundred robes. Another day, walking in his park Udakavana, (cf. at the beginning of this note, the mountain Udakapada, mentioned in the Vibh膩峁Ｄ�), Udaka saw that his women had given their robes to the Bhik峁 Bh膩radv膩ja. He questioned the monk about the good based on their generosity, but the monk remained silent. Angry, Udayana tried to have him eaten by red ants, but P颈峁囜笉ola vanished into the sky.
2) Udayana (啶夃う啶え) is the name of a king of olden times subdued by the Buddha mentioned in order to demonstrate the fearlessness of the Buddha according to the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra chapter XL.1.4.

Note: After having been noted for his great cruelty (cf. above, p. 993F and note), Udayana, king of Kau艣膩mbh墨, during a friendly visit to the disciple P颈峁囜笉ola Bh膩radv膩ja, was converted and entered into the brotherhood of the up膩sakas (Sa峁儁utta, IV, p. 110鈥�113).

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
