In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism

Rohit (रोहित्) is the name of a river mentioned as flowing through Haimavanta together with the Rohitāsyā river. Haimavanta is one of the seven regions (ṣeٰ) of Jambūdvīpa according to Jaina cosmology. Jambūdvīpa sits at the centre of madhyaloka (‘middle world�) is the most important of all continents and it is here where human beings reside.

Rohit (रोहित्) or Rohita is the name of a river that, coupled with the Rohitāsyā river, separates the Haimavata region. Haimavata refers to one of the regions of ū屹ī貹: the first continent of the Madhya-loka (middle-word), according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 3.10. The Rohit river flows eastwards. The Rohit and Rohitāsyā rivers have 28000 tributaries.

Jambūdvīpa (where flows the Rohit river) is in the centre of all continents and oceans; all continents and oceans are concentric circles with Jambūdvīpa in the centre. Like the navel is in the centre of the body, Jambūdvīpa is in the centre of all continents and oceans. Sumeru Mount is in the centre of Jambūdvīpa. It is also called Mount Sudarśana.

context information

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.
