In Hinduism

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Hemādri (हेमाद्रि) (‘the golden mountain’) is another name for Meru: a mountain mentioned in the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.9. Accordingly as Kāma related to Brahmā:—“[...] Even as I entered the zone, the living beings fell into my power but lord Śiva and his Gaṇas were not moved at all. O Brahmā, when Śiva went to the Himālayan ridge, Rati, Spring and I reached the place. Wherever He went whether on Meru (or Hemādri) Nāgakeśara or Kailāsa, I too went there immediately”.

context information

The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.

Ayurveda (science of life)

Hemādri (हेमाद्रि) is the author of the Āyurvedarasāyana: a commentary on the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā: one of the three great works of Vāgbhaṭa.—The Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā consists only of verses. The eight-fold division is observed in the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā too, though not as strictly as in the Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha. Numerous commentaries on the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā [viz., Hemādri’s Āyurvedarasāyana], many of them unedited so far, can be traced in manuscripts, catalogues, publishers’ lists, etc.

Hemādri was the son of Kāmadeva, grandson of Vāsudeva, and great-grandson of Vāmana. Besides the Caturvargacintāmaṇi and Āyurvedarasāyana, he wrote several other works (Śrāddhapaddhati, Hemādriprayoga, Nānāśāntayaḥ, Tristhalīvidhi) and commentaries (on Vopadeva’s Muktāphala and Śaunaka’s Pravaṇakalpa); but he is different from Bhaṭṭa Hemādri, the son of Īśvarasūri and author of the Raghuvaṃśadarpaṇa.

While in the Caturvargacintāmaṇi (I.1.6 & 13) he describes himself as being in charge of the state records of King Mahādeva of Devagiri (r. 1260—71), from the Āyurvedarasāyana (introduction v. 5 sq.) and a contemporary inscription he appears to have been the archivist and chief minister of his successor Rāmacandra (r. 1271—1309).

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
