The chief ones, those with bodhicitta as their innate nature, are thirty-two in number. They are: [i.e., վṣṭ] [...]�.�.

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritraվṣṭ (विष्टा) refers to “excrement� and represents one of the seven magic powers, according to chapter 4.7 [sanatkumra-cakrin-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalkpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly:—“[...] Magic powers were acquired by him enduring all the trials hard to endure, indifferent to any expedient for relief. The seven magic powers, namely: phlegm, �, dried perspiration, impurity, excrement (ṣṭ), touch, and also ‘everything�, are called remedies�.

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.
