In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyPārīṣa (पारीष) is a Sanskrit word referring to the “portia tree”, a species of plant from the Malvaceae (mallow) family of flowering plants. It is also known as Pāriśa, Haripuccha, Pārśvapippala. It is used throughout Ayurvedic literature such as the Caraka-saṃhitā and the Suśruta-saṃhitā. In South India, heartwood of the Portia tree is also used to make the thavil, a Carnatic musical instrument. The official botanical name is Thespesia populnea and is commonly known in English as “Umbrella tree”, “Seaside mahoe” or “Indian tulip tree” among others. It is a small tree or arborescent shrub with a pantropical distribution, found on coasts around the world.
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.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IParisā (परिसा) (Prakrit: Parṣad) refers to a “group of beings” (attending the samavasaraṇa), according to the Dvādaśaparṣad (a work dealing with the Cosmology of Jain Canonical literature), 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.—The Dvādaśaparṣad deals with the intermediate directions or the ‘corners’ (kūṇi) where the groups of beings attending the samavasaraṇa sacred space have to sit or stand, after the Jina himself has sat in the centre and after they have entered and performed a cirucumambulation.—Cf. The Golerā temple, which specifies how many figures of each category have to be depicted.
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.
