Māuliṅga (माउलिङ्ग) (Prakrit; in Sanskrit: Mātuliṅga) refers to a kind of “citron tree”, as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. II, P. 135, ll. 6 & 18]—‘Mātuliṅga’ (Marathi: Mahāḷuṅga or Māvaḷaṅga) is the name of a kind of citron tree and that of its fruit as well ‘Bījapūraka’ is its synonym, and this may remind a Gujarati of ‘Bījorum’. The word ‘mātuliṅga’ occurs in Mālatīmadhava (VI, v 19), and its Pāiya (Prakrit) equivalent ‘māuliṅga’ in Rāyappasenaijja (...). ‘Biyaūraya’ occurs in Mālavikāgnimitra (III, p 37). This fruit is used in a ceremony known as ‘grahaśānti’. It is considered auspicious like the cocoanut and fit to be presented to a great personage at a visit. In some Jaina temples a silver piece having the shape of a citron elongated both ways and usually gilt with gold is placed on the palm of the mam idol of a Jaina Tīrthaṅkara.

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I

Māuliṃga (माउलिंग) (in Prakrit) refers to Bījorāṃ, or “citron-juice” and represents one of 21 kinds of liquids (which the Jain mendicant should consider before rejecting or accepting them), according to the “Sajjhāya ekavīsa pāṇī nī” (dealing with the Monastic Discipline section of Jain Canonical literature) 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.—This topic is explained with reference to the first aṅga (i.e. Ācārāṅgasūtra). This matter is distributed over the end of section 7 and the beginning of section 8 of the Piṇḍesaṇā chapter. [...] The technical terms [e.g., māuliṃga] used here are either borrowed from the Prakrit or rendered into the vernacular equivalents.—Note: Bījorāṃ is known in Prakrit as Māuliṃga, and in Hindi as Bijaura.

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.
