In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Dietetics and Culinary Art (such as household cooking)
1) Haima (हैम) refers to “snow water” and is classified as celestial type of water (jala) according to the 17th century Bhojanakutūhala (dravyaguṇāguṇa-kathana), and is commonly found in literature dealing with the topics of dietetics and culinary art, also known as Pākaśāstra or Pākakalā.—Different types of water (jala) and their properties are mentioned here [viz., in jala-prakaraṇa]. The water is classified into two as celestial and terrestrial ones. Celestial waters are again subdivided into four types, [viz., snow water (haima)].
2) Haima (हैम) or Haimapātra refers to a “golden vessel/utensil” (used for food) according to the 17th century Bhojanakutūhala (dravyaguṇāguṇa-kathana).—Different metallic vessels are described in the text. The vessels/utensils that are made of golden (haima) have the following dietetic effects: pathya, doṣahṛt and dṛṣṭikṛt (alleviates aggravation of all doṣas and improves sight).
Unclassified Ayurveda definitions

Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Haima (हैम) refers to “icons made of gold”, as defined in treatises such as the Pāñcarātra, Pādmasaṃhitā and Vaikhānasa-āgamas, extensively dealing with the technical features of temple art, iconography and architecture in Vaishnavism.—The Āgamas prescribe the metals and the results. The icon made of different metals brings different results. The icon made of gold (haima) yields all prosperity. [...] The icon of Viṣṇu should not be made with mixed material, excepting the gold.
Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Haima (हैम) refers to a “gold (pot)” (filled with water), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.40 (“The Marriage Procession of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] O great sage, listen to another incident that happened when Śiva, the lord of all, went for his marriage along with the gods and others. Rudra’s sister Caṇḍī assuming a great festive mood came there with great pleasure but inspiring terror in others. She was riding on a ghost. She was bedecked in the ornaments of serpents. A gold (haima) pot filled (with water) shone over her head. She was accompanied by her attendants. Her face was beaming. Her eyes dazzled. She was enthusiastic and glad. She was strong. [...]”.
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 Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Haima (हैम) (in Chinese: Hi-mo) is the name of an ancient kingdom associated with Puṣya or Puṣyanakṣatra, as mentioned in chapter 18 of the Candragarbha: the 55th section of the Mahāsaṃnipāta-sūtra, a large compilation of Sūtras (texts) in Mahāyāna Buddhism partly available in Sanskrit, Tibetan and Chinese.—Chapter 18 deals with geographical astrology and, in conversation with Brahmarāja and others, Buddha explains how he entrusts the Nakṣatras [e.g., Puṣya] with a group of kingdoms [e.g., Haima] for the sake of protection and prosperity.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.

害馬 [hài mǎ] [hai ma]—
To harm the natural instincts of horses (馬 [ma]). It refers to all actions that are detrimental to the natural growth of horses (馬 [ma]). The phrase originates from Zhuangzi, Xu Wugui《莊子 [zhuang zi]．徐无鬼 [xu wu gui]》: "Now, those who govern the world, how are they different from those who tend horses? They just get rid of the harmful horses." Later, it was used as a metaphor for people who harm the public (大眾 [da zhong]). In Gao Shi's (高適 [gao shi]) Tang (唐 [tang]) Dynasty poem, "Farewell to Song Ba as Assistant Judge to Peng Zhongcheng in Lingnan" (〈餞宋八充彭中丞判官之嶺南 [jian song ba chong peng zhong cheng pan guan zhi ling nan]〉), it says: "If you are to eliminate the harmful horses, be careful not to trust the flies (蒼蠅 [cang ying])." Also known as "a horse that harms the herd" (害群之馬 [hai qun zhi ma]).
害馬：損害馬的自然本性。指一切無益於馬自然生長的行為。語出《莊子．徐无鬼》：「夫為天下者，亦奚以異乎牧馬者哉？亦去其害馬者而已矣。」後用來比喻為害大眾的人。唐．高適〈餞宋八充彭中丞判官之嶺南〉詩：「若將除害馬，慎勿信蒼蠅。」也作「害群之馬」。
