Ayurveda (science of life)

Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)

Saṃpanna (संपन्न) refers to “perfect”, and is mentioned in verse 1.28 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Saṃpanna (Tibetan: phun-thsogs) “perfect” is interpreted by the commentators to allude either to the origin (praśastabhūmideśajāta, “grown in a recommended tract of land”) or to the preparation (pākasaṃskārādiyukta, “subjected to cooking, dressing etc.”) of the medicine.

Aruṇadatta refers in this connection to Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā V.6.1 sqq.:

“As medicine is recommended (anything) grown in a desert or moderate region (a region that is) even, of good soil, clean, devoid of cremation grounds, topes, temples, chasms, and ant-hills, soft, of auspicious water, covered with kusa and geranium grass, untilled by the plough, (and) unassailed by bigger trees”

Saṃpanna (संपन्न) means “possessing”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “(Pūrṇagiri) is on the northern peak of Kailāśa and is full of countless flames. [...] That divine city of the supreme Lord is made of pillars of adamantine. It is surrounded by temple arches and palaces of the Fire of Time. It is filled with many forms and adorned with knowledge and (divine) qualities. Possessing many wonders [i.e., anekāścarya-saṃpanna], it is life itself in the triple universe. (All) this is filled by it and so it is called 'Full' (pūrṇa i.e. Pūrṇagiri). (The Fire of Time) has seven tongues (of flame; his) form is Time and has six faces. Possessing the Full Moon, (he) is beautiful. (He is) the Great Vitality, holds a spear and brings about creation and destruction”.

Pure pale ash [should be used, and] white dress and unguents; he should wear a white sacred thread and be adorned by a chignon of matted locks. He should be equipped with all [suitable] ornaments (sarvābharaṇa-sampanna), [and] adorned with white garlands; he should consume [only the pure ritual gruel-offering known as] caru; he should observe the chaste conduct of a student; he should venerate Śiva, the fire and his Guru. [...]”.

2) Sampannā (सम्पन्ना) refers to “possessing (all favourable characteristics)”, according to the 13th-century Matsyendrasaṃhitā: a Kubjikā-Tripurā oriented Tantric Yoga text of the Ṣaḍanvayaśāmbhava tradition from South India.—Accordingly, “[Devī spoke]:—O God, what kind of a woman is a Yoginī? Who is Māyā and who is Pāśavī? Tell me, O Bhairava, the pros and cons of having sex with them. [Bhairava spoke]:—[...] A woman who possesses all favourable characteristics (sarvalakṣaṇa-sampannā) [but] has neither a [Yoginī] Clan/noble family nor a [human/material] form/beauty, and who is to be approached by empathic imagination, O Maheśānī, is called Māyā”.

[With a doorway] at Īśa, the householder will have the risk of fire; at Parjanya, harm from women. At Jaya [the householder] is endowed with wealth (dhana-sampanna). At Māhendra he is dear to the king. At Āditya there is anger. At Satya there is lawful conduct. [...]”.

Yoga (school of philosophy)

Sampanna (सम्पन्न) refers to “one who is learned (in the Vedas)”, according to the Yogayājñvalkya 6.12, 16-6.19ab.—Accordingly, while discussing that yoga was practised by all four castes and women: “[...] [If] a Brahmin is learned in the Vedas (śruta-sampanna) and always devoted to his religious duties, he should repeat a Vedic mantra and never a non-Vedic one. Some [Brahmins] wish to repeat a non-Vedic mantra for the well-being of [all] people. As [in the case of] a Brahmin, mantra repetition is prescribed for a Kṣatriya in Prāṇāyāma. [...]”.

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

Saṃpanna (संपन्न) refers to “(becoming) complete”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter XXXII-XXXIV).—Accordingly, “When one is making fire by friction, first the flame takes fire on the soft grass and dried cow dung and, as the strength of the fire increases, it is able to consume big pieces of moist wood. It is the same for the concentration of loving-kindness (maitrī-samādhi): at the beginning, when one make the vows for loving-kindness, one applies them only to one’s friends; but when the mind of loving-kindness has grown, enemies and relatives become mixed up and one sees them all as experiencing happiness: this is because the dhyānas or samāpattis of loving-kindness have grown and are becoming complete (saṃpanna)”.

Saṃpanna (संपन्न) refers to “equipped (with knowledge)”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, as the Lord said to Śrīgupta: “Good, very good, householder, you fully understand the meaning of what I have preached. I prophesy that you, having honoured, revered, venerated, and worshipped all Buddhas in the good aeon with your mind and highest intension, will practice the holy life in their places, and will grasp the true dharma. After that, since you have pleased innumerable Buddhas, after seven hundred innumerable aeons, in the stainless aeon, you will be born in the world as the Tathāgata Sarvaparyutthānavikiraṇa, equipped (saṃpanna) with knowledge, conduct and other qualities, the Awakened Lord”.

He was wealthy with great riches, great revenues; he was endowed with copious acquisitions (upakaraṇa-saṃpanna) and means of subsistence. He had mastered the Vedas and Vedāṅgas. He was a mantra-reciter and mantra-practitioner. He summoned Nāgas again and again. He sacrificed fire oblations. [...]”.
