General definition (in Hinduism)
: Sanskrit Literature: Kutaja碍耻峁璦箩补, 鈥榖orn in a pitcher鈥�, is not a obvious name for a flower. In its literal sense the word is applied to the legendary sage Agastya, who was in fact born in a pot and became famous for a variety of feats including digesting an asura and drinking the ocean.
The 碍耻峁璦箩补 also makes several appearances before this moment in the 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺, most notably in R膩ma鈥檚 description of the monsoon, when the 碍耻峁璦箩补s, delighted at the rain, bloom. R膩ma imagines offering the small white flowers to the sun; the yak峁 in the Meghad奴ta uses them to propitiate his would-be messenger, the cloud.
碍耻峁璦箩补s, like the Ketak墨 and the Kadamba, are an intrinsic part of the poetic 痴补谤峁Ｄ�; the wind is always scented, and lovers garlanded, with them.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Economic Life In Ancient India (as depicted in Jain canonical literature)碍耻峁璦箩补 (啶曕啶熰) refers to a kind of tree (惫峁沰峁) commonly found in the forests (惫补峁嘺) of ancient India, mentioned in the 1st century Uvav膩iya-sutta (sanksrit: Aupap膩tika-s奴tra). Forests have been a significant part of the Indian economy since ancient days. They have been considered essential for economic development in as much as, besides bestowing many geographical advantages, they provide basic materials for building, furniture and various industries. The most important forest products are wood and timber which have been used by the mankind to fulfil his various needs鈥攄omestic, agricultural and industrial.
Different kinds of trees (e.g., the 碍耻峁璦箩补 tree) provided firewood and timber. The latter was used for furniture, building materials, enclosures, staircases, pillars, agricultural purposes, e. g. for making ploughs, transportation e. g. for making carts, chariots, boats, ships, and for various industrial needs. Va峁嘺-kamma was an occupation dealing in wood and in various otherforest products. I峁単膩la-kamma was another occupation which was concerned with preparing charcoal from firewood.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
