tattva tattva, am, n. (fr. tad), the state of being that, true state, real state, truth, reality, opposed to what is illusory or fallacious; essential nature; the real nature of the human soul as being one and the same with the supreme spirit pervading the universe; (in philosophy) truth, reality, a true principle, first principle, (the number of these first principles varies according to the different systems; the Sāṅkhya phil. has twenty-five Tattvas, viz. A-vyakta or ‘the undiscrete;’ Buddhi, ‘intellect;’ Ahaṅkāra, ‘indi- viduality;’ the five Tan-mātras or ‘subtile elements;’ the five Mahā-bhūtas or ‘gross elements;’ the eleven organs, including Manas or ‘mind;’ and, lastly, Puruṣa or ‘soul:’ hence tattva is sometimes a term for ‘twenty-five.’ The Māheśvaras admit only five Tattvas, viz. the five elements. In the Vedānta phil. tattva is regarded as made up of tad and tvam, ‘this — thou,’ and called mahā-vākya, ‘the great word,’ by which the identity of the whole world with the one eternal Brahma is expressed); an element or elementary property; the essence or substance of anything, sum and substance; slow time in music, a musical instrument; (ena), ind. according to the true state or nature of anything, in truth, truly, really, accurately.
