In Jainism
Jain philosophy
Source: archive.org: Anekanta Jaya Pataka of Haribhadra SuriKaṭahara (कटहर) (Hindi; in Sanskrit: Panasa) refers to the “jack-fruit tree”, as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 193, l. 15]—‘Panasa’ (Prakrit: Phaṇasa) is the name of a fruit and a tree, too. The tree is called phaṇasa in Gujarati, kaṭahara in Hindi and jack-fruit tree in English. Here this word stands for a tree of this name and not for its fruit. Further, it does not here mean ‘a thorn’. The word ‘panasa’ occurs on p. 194, l. 23; p. 318, l. 21; p. 371, l. 12, & p. 398, l. 21, and the word phaṇasa in Paṇhavagaraṇa (I) and Paumacariya (XXXIII, 2). In Principal Karmarkar’s edition (p. 214) of Mṛcchakatika (VIII) there is the word phaṇasaphala. In Tarkarahasyadīpikā (p. 63b) it is said that the ‘panasa’ tree gets fructified when embraced by a woman.
