Cīyamāna (चीयमान) refers to “accumulating” (i.e., “the accumulation of vitiated blood”), according to the Kāśyapasaṃhitā (Khilasthāna, verse 9.43-45ab) in a chapter on abdominal swelling caused by vitiation of the blood.—Accordingly, “Listen to the cause of that which produces the cravings [of a seemingly pregnant woman with raktagulma]. Generally, there is desire for those tastes which cause an increase of the bodily constituents because of the true similarity of their origin. [When] the vitiated blood has a Vāta or Pitta [imbalance] and is accumulating (cīyamāna), it fuels desire for tastes such as [those which are] acrid, sour, salty and so on”.

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: HereNow4U: Philosophical Foundations Of Jainism (An Introduction)

Cīyamāna (चीयमान) refers to the “state of continuous collection”.—That which is living or which sustains the prāṇa i.e., vital energy, is jīva. We (human being) are jīva with physical body. [...] There is relationship between jīva and body, jīva and mana, jīva and speech. The second and third relationships are not long lasting but the first one is of lasting nature. The word kāya means body. It remains for a longer time, and hence it is called kāya. The etymological meaning of body is—“kāyajja śarīra”. It is the state of continuous collection—cīyamāna. When jīva bears a body, there is continuous process of metabolism, which goes on till death. This has been described as the state called ‘cīyamāna’.

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.
