In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

1) Adaya (अदय) refers to “merciless”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “When Yama is an opponent of embodied souls, all elephants, horses, men, and soldiers and the powers of mantras and medicines become useless. While any person does not hear the merciless (adaya) roaring of Yama’s lion, in that time he leaps about having pleasure in only [his own] power”.

2) Ādāya (आदाय) refers to “having taken hold of” (one’s body in this life), according to the Jñānārṇava.—Accordingly, “Having taken hold of (ādāya) this body in this life, suffering is endured by you. Hence, that [body] is certainly a completely worthless abode. Whatever difficulties arise from life, they are each endured here by the embodied soul, only having taken hold of the body powerfully”.

Synonyms: Gṛhītvā.
