Sanjna
Sanjna, Samjna (Sanskrit) [from sam wholly, completely + the verbal root jna to know] Full knowledge, understanding, comprehension; mystically, spiritual consciousness. According to the Puranas, the daughter of Visvakarman and wife of Surya (the sun). In the Vishnu-Purana (3:2) Sanjna, " 'unable to endure the fervours of her lord,' gave him her chhaya (shadow, image, or astral body), while she herself repaired to the jungle to perform religious devotions, or Tapas. The Sun, supposing the 'chhaya' to be his wife begat by her children, like Adam with Lilith -- an ethereal shadow also, as in the legend, though an actual living female monster millions of years ago" (SD 2:174). This refers to the creation of the first root-race, the "chhaya-birth, or that primeval mode of sexless procreation, the first-race having eased out, so to say, from the body of the Pitris . . ." (ibid).
Also the third of the skandhas (attributes), signifying abstract ideas (sanna in Pali).
