Jīva (Jainism)
''Jīva'' ( sa, जीव) or ''Atman'' (; sa, आत्मन्) is a philosophical term used within Jainism to identify the soul. As per Jain cosmology, ''jīva'' or soul is the principle of sentience and is one of the ''tattvas'' or one of the fundamental substances forming part of the universe. The Jain metaphysics, states Jagmanderlal Jaini, divides the universe into two independent, everlasting, co-existing and uncreated categories called the ''jiva'' (soul) and the ''ajiva'' ( sa, अजीव non-soul). This basic premise of Jainism makes it a dualistic philosophy. The ''jiva'', according to Jainism, is an essential part of how the process of karma, rebirth and the process of liberation from rebirth works. Soul substance Jains regard soul as one of the six fundamental and eternal substances ('' dravyas'') which forms the universe. The two states of soul substance are mentioned in the Jain texts. These are — Svābhva (pure or natural) and Vibhāva (impure or unnatura ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jyā, Koti-jyā And Utkrama-jyā
Jyā, koṭi-jyā and utkrama-jyā are three trigonometric functions introduced by Indian mathematicians and astronomers. The earliest known Indian treatise containing references to these functions is Surya Siddhanta. These are functions of arcs of circles and not functions of angles. Jyā and koti-jyā are closely related to the modern trigonometric functions of sine and cosine. In fact, the origins of the modern terms of "sine" and "cosine" have been traced back to the Sanskrit words jyā and koti-jyā. Definition Let 'arc AB' denote an arc whose two extremities are A and B of a circle with center O. If a perpendicular BM be dropped from B to OA, then: * ''jyā'' of arc AB = BM * ''koti-jyā'' of arc AB = OM * ''utkrama-jyā'' of arc AB = MA If the radius of the circle is ''R'' and the length of arc AB is ''s'', the angle subtended by arc AB at O measured in radians is θ = ''s'' / ''R''. The three Indian functions are related to modern trigonometric functions as f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
