In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Nilamata Purana: a cultural and literary studyGorasa (गोरस) refers to “milk”, forming part of a common diet in ancient Kashmir (Kaśmīra) as mentioned in the Nīlamatapurāṇa.—Gorasa seems to have been an important item of diet. Mention is made of condensed milk called kṣīra and of food preparations mixed with milk (verses 440, 444, 532, 708, 719). Most of the references to the articles of diet occur in the Nīlamata in connection with the offerings made to the gods but it is not difficult to infer from them the food and drink of the common people because “what a man eats his gods eat”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) 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.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: Jaina YogaGorasa (गोरस) refers to one of the four classifications of food (āhāra), according to rasa (taste), according to the 13th century Sāgāra-dharmāmṛta (verse 35) by Āśādhara. Go-rasa refers to milk flavour comprising ghee (ghṛa), butter (navanīta), and curds (dadhi).
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.
