Tajjalān is one of the few enigmatic methods in Hinduism employed by the Upanishadic seers to describe Reality or Brahman. It is a cosmological approach to the problem of Reality in the context of creation etc. ==Meaning of Tajjalān== Tajjalān (Sanskrit: तज्जलान्) is an adjective, which means – 'absorbed and breathing in that', 'produced'. It is a compound word interpreted as equivalent to ''taj-ja'', ''tal-la'' and ''tad-ana'' that represent the attributes of Brahman. It is the enigmatic method to describe Reality unlike the aphoristic method of the Mandukya Upanishad favoured in the later Sutra literature. Shandilya’s Upanishadic declaration – :सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्म तज्जलानिति शान्त उपासीत :(''sarvam khaluidam brahman tajjalān iti shānta upāsita'') – :"All this (collectively) is Brahman, indeed: what evolves from That, what dissolves in That, what breathes or functions in That, should be closely and calmly studied……." - (Chandogya Upanishad III.14.1) where this word first appears, adopts the cryptic way for saying how God could be regarded as 'the origin', 'the end', and 'the life of all things'. Creation literally refers to the beginning of the present cycle but the Vedic seers believed that creation is beginning-less and a never-ending process, and that Brahman is the essence of all that exists and does not exist. Shankara gives the meaning of ''Tajjalān'' as – "From this "''tad''" Brahman the universe has arisen "''ja''", on dissolution it disappears "''li''" into this identical with Brahman; in the same way finally it is Brahman in whom the universe, after it is created, breathes "''an''" and lives - ''Tat-Ja-Li-An''". He paraphrases ''tajja''- with ''tasmad brahmano jatam'' because ''jan'' construed with ''tad-as'' can take the suffix ''da'', so as to give the derivative ''tajja-''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tajjalan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
