brahman brahman, a, n. (fr. rt. 2. bṛh = 2. vṛh; cf. rts. vṛṃh, vṛdh), religious devotion (regarded as an impulse or feeling gradually growing up and expanding so as to fill the soul), prayer or any pious expression in the worship of the gods, a hymn of praise (Ved., Sāy. = stotra); a sacred text (especially a Mantra used as a spell for averting evil influences, forming a distinct class from the ṛcas, sāmāni, and yajūṃṣi; and hence the term Brah- ma-veda, q. v., is sometimes applied to the collec- tion of texts commonly called Atharva-veda); the mystic syllable Om [cf. Manu II. 83]; the sacred word or word of God (opposed to vāc, the word of man), the sacred text, the Veda; (in Atharva-veda X. 7, 32, X. 8, 1, there is an allusion to a jyeṣṭham brahma or original pre-æval Veda or Deity? from which the existing Vedas have been drawn); sacred learning, divine science, religious knowledge, theo- logy (speculative or theoretical, as opposed to prac- tical religion, i. e. tapas, &c.); the Brāhmaṇa por- tion of the Veda [cf. brāhmaṇa and Manu IV. 100]; religious life, celibacy, chastity [cf. brahma- carya, col. 3]; the practice of austerity or penance (= tapas); the Supreme Being regarded as impersonal or in the abstract and divested of all quality and action; the highest object of religious knowledge, the Supreme all-pervading Spirit and Soul of the Universe, the divine essence and source of all being from which all created things emanate and to which they return, the Self-existent, the Absolute, the Eternal (= paramātman, ātman, adhyātma, pra- dhāna, kṣetra-jña, tattva; Brahman as the Su- preme Spirit is not an object of worship in the usual sense of the term, but is meditated upon by the devout with profound veneration; he appears in the Atharva-veda as the Supreme Deity, and in X. 7, 24, a highest divine essence or brahma jyeṣṭham is spoken of); = mokṣa, emancipation or liberation from mundane existence; the class occupied with religious knowledge, the Brāhmanical caste as a body, the priestly or sacerdotal class (cf. Manu IX. 322; in one or two passages the neut. brahman appears to = ) a member of the Brāhmanical caste, a Brāhman; (according to the Nirukta) = anna, food; = dhana, wealth; (ā), m. one who prays, a devout man [cf. tuvi-b˚]; one whose calling and business consist in praying, a priest, Brāhman [cf. oha-b˚]; one versed in sacred texts or in spells, one conversant with sacred knowledge; an epithet of Bṛhas-pati; one of the four principal priests or ṛtvijas (the other three being the Hotṛ, Adhvaryu, and Udgātṛ, q. q. v. v.; he had the supervision of the sacrifice and was required to know the three Vedas; as the most learned of the priests he had to set right any mistake or remedy any defect in the ritual; at a later period functions based espe- cially on the Atharva-veda were assigned to him; his three Puruṣas or assistants were the Brāhma- ṇācchaṃsin, Āgnīdhra, and Potṛ); Brahmā or the Supreme Being regarded as a person, (in the later mythology he is held to be the first deity of the Hindū triad and the Creator of the world; he never appears to have become an object of general worship, though a qualified reverence is paid to him in con- junction with other deities; the sapta Brahmāṇaḥ, or seven Brahmās, are the seven Prajā-patis, viz. Marīci, Atri, Aṅgiras, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu, and Vasiṣṭha); a lifetime of Brahmā (= Brahmaṇa āyuḥ); the sun; an epithet of Śiva; the Veda (?); intellect (= buddhi); N. of a star, δ Aurigæ; epi- thet of a particular astronomical Yoga; N. of the servant of the tenth Arhat of the present Ava-sarpiṇī; N. of a magician; of the ninth Muhūrta; [cf. Zend bareśma. In giving the meaning of the following words compounded with brahman, the N. Brahman in the crude form will be used in all cases where the distinction between the neut. Brahma and the masc. Brahmā is not clearly determinable.]

brahman n. [bṛṃh-manin nakārasyākāre ṛto ratvaṃ; cf. Uṇ. 4. 145] 1 The Supreme Being, regarded as impersonal and divested of all quality and action; (according to the Vedāntins, Brahman is both the efficient and the material cause of the visible universe, the all-pervading soul and spirit of the universe, the essence from which all created things are produced and into which they are absorbed; asti tāvannityaśaddhabuddhamuktasvabhāvaṃ sarvajñaṃ sarvaśaktisamanvitaṃ brahma Ś. B.); samībhūtā dṛṣṭistribhuvanamapi brahma manute Bh.; Bh. 3. 84; Ku. 3. 15. 2 A hymn of praise. 3 A sacred text. 4 The Vedas; Ku. 6. 16; U. 1. 15. 5 The sacred and mystic syllable om; ekākṣaraṃ paraṃ brahma Ms. 2. 83. 6 The priestly or Brāhmaṇical class (collectively); Ms. 9. 320. 7 The power or energy of a Brāhmaṇa; R. 8. 4. 8 Religious penance or austerities. 9 Celibacy, chastity; śāśvate brahmaṇi vartate Ś. 1. 10 Final emancipation or beatitude. 11 Theology, sacred learning, religious knowledge. 12 The Brāhmaṇa portion of the Veda. 13 Wealth. 14 Food. 15 A Brāhmaṇa. 16 Truth. — m. 1 The Supreme Being, the Creator, the first deity of the sacred Hindu Trinity, to whom is entrusted the work of creating the world [The accounts of the creation of the world differ in many respects; but, according to Manu Smṛti, the universe was enveloped in darkness, and the selfexistent Lord manifested himself dispelling the gloom. He first created the waters and deposited in them a seed. This seed became a golden egg, in which he himself was born as Brahmā-the progenitor of all the worlds. Then the Lord divided the egg into two parts, with which he constructed heaven and earth. He then created the ten Prajāpatis or mind-born sons who completed the work of creation. According to another account (Rāmāyaṇa) Brahmā sprang from ether; from him was descended Marīci, and his son was Kaśyapa. From Kaśyapa sprang Vivasvat, and Manu sprang from him. Thus Manu was the procreator of all human beings. According to a third account, the Supreme deity, after dividing the golden egg, separated himself into two parts, male and female, from which sprang Virāj and from him Manu; cf. ([Page 0801-b]) Ku. 2. 7 and Ms. 1. 32 et seq.. Mythologically Brahman is represented as being born in a lotus which sprang from the navel of Viṣṇu, and as creating the world by an illicit connection with his own daughter Sarasvatī. Brahman had originally five heads, but one of them was cut down by Śiva with the ring finger or burnt down by the fire from his third eye. His vehicle is a swan. He has numerous epithets, most of which have reference to his birth in a lotus]. 2 A Brāhmaṇa; Ś. 4. 3. 3 A devout man. 4 One of the four Ritvijas or priests employed at a Soma sacrifice. 5 One conversant with sacred knowledge. 6 The sun. 7 Intellect. 8 An epithet of the seven Prajāpatis: — marīci, atri, aṃgiras, pulasya, pulaha, kratu and vasiṣṭha. 9 An epithet of Bṛhaspati. 10 Of Śiva.
