In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyʾṅg (पिङ्गा) is another name for Balka, which is a Sanskrit word referring to Pavonia odorata (fragement mallow plant), from the Malvaceae family. It is classified as a medicinal plant in the system of Āyurveda (science of Indian medicine) and is used throughout literature such as the śܳٲṃhٲ and the 䲹첹ṃh.

Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: The Purana Index1a) ʾṅg (पिङ्�).—A madhyamdhvaryu.*
- * Brahmṇḍa-purṇa II. 33. 16.
1b) Tripravara.*
- * Matsya-purṇa 196. 33.

The Purana (पुरा�, purṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) ʾṅg (पिङ्�) is the name of a Siddha.—In the Kubjikmatatantra 3.94-98, Bhairava declares that he appears in the world in the form of the teacher. In particular he assumes the form of five teachers. These are the Siddhas Sdkhya, ʾṅg (the Tawny One) Ananta (Endless), Anugrahīśa (Lord of Grace), and Śrīkaṇṭha. These are related to the five elements Space, Wind, Fire, Water and Earth, respectively. [The fifth Siddha, who in this reference may be ʾṅglantha].
2) ʾṅg (पिङ्गा) or ʾṅggranthi refers to the “Knot of ʾṅg� and represents one of the “sixteen knots� (granthi), according to the Ṣaṭshasrasaṃhit, an expansion of the Kubjikmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjik cult.—Accordingly, �(1) The Knot called Ananta, which is HAṂSA, should be placed (on the body). It is at the middle toe of the sixteen parts (of the body).The Knot of Time is below the ankle. [...] (7) The (Knot) called ʾṅg is in the fraenum of the prepuce (īī). [...]�.
The sixteen Knots [i.e., 辱ṅg-Գٳ] are parts of the goddess’s body. Accordingly, they are projected into the adept’s body to transform it into the Triple Fort, that is, the triangular body of the goddess replete with the energies of the sacred seats. She is both with form, consisting of the letters and mantras, and without form as the Transmental (ԴDzԳī) energy of the god.

Shakta (शाक्�, śkta) or Shaktism (śktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Een Kritische Studie Van ⲹūdeva’s Paümacariuʾṅg (पिङ्�) participated in the war between 峾 and 屹ṇa, on the side of the latter, as mentioned in ⲹūdeva’s Paumacariu (Padmacarita, Paumacariya or 峾ⲹṇapurṇa) chapter 57ff. ⲹū or ⲹūdeva (8th or 9th century) was a Jain householder who probably lived in Karnataka. His work recounts the popular 峾 story as known from the older work 峾ⲹṇa (written by ī쾱). Various chapters [mentioning ʾṅg] are dedicated to the humongous battle whose armies (known as ṣaܳṇīs) consisted of millions of soldiers, horses and elephants, etc.

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, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
