In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAdhīna (अधीन) refers to “subservient” (e.g, the entire universe is subservient to Śiva’s illusion), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.2.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] O excellent sage, once the three sisters (i.e., Menā, Dhanyā, Kalāvatī) went to Śvetadvīpa (white island) in the world of Viṣṇu for sightseeing purpose. [...] Helpless by misfortune and deluded by lord Śiva’s illusion O sage, the three sisters did not stand up. Śiva’s illusion is weighty and capable of deluding the worlds. The entire universe is subservient to it (i.e., adhīna—tadadhīnaṃ jagatsarvaṃ). It is also called Śiva’s Will. The same is also called an action that has begun to fructify. Its names are many. Everything takes place on Śiva’s wish. There is nothing to be pondered over in this respect”.
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: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsAdhīna (अधीन) refers to “resting (in the self)”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “The one who is doing good actions, whose conduct is pure, is engaged in external asceticism to such an extent and then there is the highest meditation which is abstaining from anything perceptible by the senses [and] resting in the self (ātman-adhīna). He destroys the mass of karmas accumulated for a very long time which is sticking within then he is immersed in the ocean of knowledge which is the abode of the highest bliss. [Thus ends the reflection on] wearing away karma”.
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IAdhina (अधिन) refers to the “chapter” (of a particular work).—Cf. the Dasagīta, which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—[...] Either at the beginning or at the end of each chapter, the author gives a gujarati form of the original title of the Daśavaikālika chapters (adhaena, adhina, addhina, ādhyana, adhyana, all for adhyayana).
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.

(-naḥ-nā-nam) 1) Dependant.
2) Docile. E. adhi and ina ‘having a master over one’s self’. This word and the etymology as mentioned, are given by the native lexicographers; but according to the best grammatical authorities adhīna would not exist as a real word. Words as rājādhīna, brāhmaṇādhīna and the like, are explained by them as coming from rājādhi (rājan and adhi), brāhmaṇādhi (brāhmaṇa and adhi) with taddh. aff. kha, or by others as derived from rājan, brāhmaṇa with taddh. aff. sadhīnan; it would seem therefore that the use of adhīna as an independant word is grammatically not correct. But see adhyadhīna and anadhīnaka.
