Panchajanya
Panchajanya (पाञ्चजन्य) is the shankha (conch) of the Hindu preserver deity Vishnu, one of his four primary attributes. The Panchajanya symbolises the five elements, and is regarded to produce the primeval sound of creation when blown. According to the Mahabharata, Vishnu is stated to have slain a daitya (a member of a clan of asuras) named Panchajana on a mountain named Chakravan constructed by Vishvakarma, and seized the conch shell in which Panchajana had lived for himself. The conch is named after the daitya.
Loka
Loka est un terme sanscrit utilisé dans les religions du sous-continent indien qui désigne les différents plans d'existence des mondes du saṃsāra, de la cosmologie théologique. Le terme est usuel dans l'hindouisme, dans le bouddhisme et le jaïnisme. Le mot "loka", dans le canon pali, est rapproché du verbe lujjati, se désintégrer (voir par exemple le Loka Sutta, Samyutta Nikaya, SN 35.82), bien que son étymologie courante le fasse dériver de la racine -lok-, voir (le monde est "ce qui est visible").
Treta Yuga
Treta Yuga, in Hinduism, is the second and second best of the four yugas (world ages) in a Yuga Cycle, preceded by Krita (Satya) Yuga and followed by Dvapara Yuga. Treta Yuga lasts for 1,296,000 years (3,600 divine years). Treta means 'a collection of three things' in Sanskrit, and is so called because during the Treta Yuga, there were three Avatars of Vishnu that were seen, the fifth, sixth and seventh incarnations as Vamana, Parashurama and Rama, respectively. The bull of Dharma symbolizes that morality stood on three legs during this period.
Shuka
Shuka (शुक , also Shukadeva ) is a rishi (sage) in Hinduism. He is the son of the sage Vyasa and the main narrator of the scripture Bhagavata Purana. Most of the Bhagavata Purana consists of Shuka reciting the story to the king Parikshit in his final days. Shuka is depicted as a sannyasi, renouncing the world in pursuit of moksha (liberation), which most narratives assert that he achieved. According to the Hindu epic Mahabharata, after one hundred years of austerity by Vyasa, Shuka was churned out of a stick of fire, born with ascetic power and with the Vedas dwelling inside him, just like his father.
