Āgama (English spelling)

Japanese: アーガマ(英語表記)Āgama
Āgama (English spelling)
In Sanskrit, it means "sacred writings." Each sect in ancient India had its own āgama. Buddhism also has āgama, which are translated into Chinese as āgama. In Hinduism, the āgama of the Shaivite sect is particularly famous, with 28 main āgama and over 200 sub-sects. It is not clear when the āgama of the Shiva sect was created, but it is thought to have been around the 8th century. The Shaivite sect (Shaiva Siddhanta), based on the āgama of the Shiva sect, developed especially in the Tamil region of southern India. The Kashmiri Shaivites also possessed 64 āgama of the Shiva sect. In the 9th century, Basgupta compiled the contents of the āgama and wrote the āgama of the Shiva Sutra.

サンスクリット語で「聖伝書」を意味する。古代インドの各宗派は,それぞれ独自のアーガマをもつ。仏教にもアーガマはあり,阿含と漢訳される。ヒンドゥー教では,特にシバ派の一派のアーガマが有名で,おもなアーガマが 28,それに付属するものが 200以上ある。「シバ・アーガマ」 (→シバーガマ ) がいつ頃つくられたか明らかではないが,おそらく8世紀頃とみられる。「シバ・アーガマ」に基づくシバ聖典派 (シャイバ・シッダーンタ) は特に南インドのタミル地方で発展した。カシミールのシバ派も 64の「シバ・アーガマ」を所有していた。9世紀にバスグプタがその内容をまとめて『シバ・スートラ』を著わした。
