Pradhana
Pradhāna (Sanskrit: प्रधान) is an adjective meaning – most important, prime, chief or major.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Spokensanskrit.de )〕 The Shatapatha Brahmana (शतपथ ब्राह्मण) gives its meaning as – 'the chief cause of the material nature' (S.B.7.15.27) or 'the creative principle of nature' (S.B.10.85.3).〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Vedabase )〕 The Samkhya School of Indian philosophy employs the word, Pradhana, to mean the creative principle of nature, as the original root of matter, the Prime Matter but which according to Badarayana’s logic is the unintelligent principle which cannot be the one consisting of bliss.
==Overview==
Kapila introduces the concept of Pradhana, the matter from which the world has been created. According to the Samkhya School, Pradhana is the original root of matter defined as the state of equilibrium of the three Gunas – Sattva, Rajas and Tamas, the three modes of Prakrti ('material nature'). ''Prakrti'' is eternal and all-pervading, unlimited and the material cause, eternally producing everything but insentient. Purusha is unproduced, free from all action and modification, without attributes, all-pervading consciousness, individual and separate for each body. Pradhana is called ''anumanam'', 'the inferred entity', meaning purely hypothetical, which when manifest becomes the efficient and the material cause of creation.
