Word of the day: AyuH

5/11/2008

 
definition:

AyuH (in comp. for %{Ayus} below).

Ayus n. life , vital power , vigour , health , duration of life , long life RV. AV. TS. S3Br. Mn. MBh. Pan5cat. &c. ; active power , efficacy RV. VS. ; the totality of living beings [food Sa1y.] RV. ii , 38 , 5 and vii , 90 , 6 ; N. of a particular ceremony (= %{AyuH-SToma} q.v.) ; N. of a Sa1man ; of the eighth lunar mansion ; food L. ; (%{us}) m. the son of Puru1ravas and Urvas3i1 (cf. %{Ayu}) MBh. Vikr. VP. ; [cf. Dor. $ ; perhaps also $.]

shariirendriya sattvaatma samyogo dhari jivitam, nityagash caanubandhash ca paryaayair aayur ucyate (Charaka, 1)

The term aayuhuh expresses the combination/conjunction of the physical body, the sense organs, the mind and the Self and is described by the synonyms: dhaari, jiivitam, nityagahah, and anubandhahah. (Translation, Dr. Lad)

Finally, a real definition of life. What is life anyway? Here it is.

  • the physical body
  • the sense organs
  • the mind
  • the Self
Can you think of anything missing?

Here it is, pre-dating “I think therefore I am” by millenia.

The word aayuhuh or AyuH is where the “ayur” in Ayurveda, the study of life, and this web site name comes from.

(The ending change has to do with sandhi.)
