Very small human attempt to start meaning of gurbani spiritual terms

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avadhuta

Avadhūta (IAST avadhūta) is a Sanskrit term from the root 'to shake' (see V. S. Apte and Monier-Willams) that, among its many uses, in some Indian religions indicates a type of mystic or saint who is beyond egoic-consciousness, duality and common worldly concerns and acts without consideration for standard social etiquette.[1]Similar figures (colloquially called 'mad/crazy monks') are also known in Buddhist traditions, such as the medieval Zen monk Ikkyū, and the 20th century Tibetan tulkuChögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. In Tibetan Buddhism the equivalent type is called a nyönpa (Wylie: smyon pa).

ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਨ

  • The one which protects the honour
  • The one which shows no mercy

 

Bhul chuk maaf

isn't there relation with the term kirpa and kirpan?

It says "no mercy" above , but kirpa= mercy .  see below

wiki...….

The word "Kirpan" (Gurmukhi: ਕਿਰਪਾਨ ) has two roots - the first root is: Kirpa (ਕਿਰਪਾ ) which means "Mercy, grace, compassion, kindness" and the second root is Aan (ਆਨ ) which in turn means "Honor, grace, dignity". So together the word stands for "the dignity and honor of compassion, kindness and mercy".

"the dignity and honor of compassion, kindness and mercy".

Brilliant stuff b.

"Kirpa" means mercy and "Aan" means honor. So Kirpan would mean "the one which does mercy on honor" which can imply " the one which protects the honor (of oneself and others).

The other meaning is derived as follows:

ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ + ਨ

"ਨ" negates the meaning of the word. Therefore, it means "the one which does not know mercy".
