達薩 (梵語)

維基百科,自由的百科全書

達薩梵語 दास dāsa),在印度古文集《梨俱吠陀》和考底利耶的《政事論》中,[1]意指雅利安人之敵。[2]這個詞後來有其他含義,如「僕人」或「奴隸」或宗教意義上的「神僕」、「臣服於神的人」、「發願起誓」或「奉獻」,devadasa。

種族詮釋

在《梨俱吠陀》中Dasa、Dasyu和類似的詞語(比如Pani)有時與詞語krsna或asikni(「黑色」)聯合出現,這經常用作對吠陀經典做出種族詮釋的基礎。達薩人被描述成扁鼻、無鼻、黑皮膚,可被認為是印度原居民。

達薩的宗教

他們崇拜龍與陽具(林伽),梨俱吠陀有因陀羅金剛打敗他們的龍(弗栗多)的記載。他們後來成為婆羅門教首陀羅

後期吠陀用法

泰米爾語中,tontai、達薩、僕人或奴隸一般指得都是毗濕奴黑天的敬虔奉獻者。[3]

而在高迪亞毗濕奴派英語Gaudiya Vaishnava神學體系的敘述dāsa-bhūto harer eva nānyasvaiva kadācana中,bhuto(生靈)永遠服務(dasa)於至尊主(Hari英語Hari)。[4]因此,svayam bhagavan英語svayam bhagavan Krishna(黑天主神)的毗濕奴派信眾指得就是Hari Dasa稱號中的dasa[5]
