In Hinduism

Paśya (पश्य) refers to “what sees or looks on” (paśyāḥ purandhrīḥ), and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 6.39.—Also “dadarśa paśyāmiva (puram)” 16.122.
Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Paśya (पश्य) refers to “behold” (the way of life of embodied souls), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Behold (paśya) the way of life of embodied souls. The body is crushed [but] not desire. Life perishes [but] not the wicked mind. Delusion is evident [but] not the purpose of the self”.
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.
