General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra1a) Pavanavega (पवनवेग) is the name of an ancient king from Pṛthvīpura and a previous incarnation of Vijaya (second Baladeva/Balabhadra), according to chapter 4.2 [vāsupūjya-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly:—“Now, there was a crest-jewel of kings, named Pavanavega, in the town Pṛthvīpura, and he ruled the country for a long time. At the right time he took the vow under the Ṛṣi Śravaṇasiṃha, practiced severe penance, and at death went to Anuttara. [...] Now Pavanavega’s jīva fell from Anuttara and descended into Queen Subhadrā’s womb. Comfortably asleep, Queen Subhadrā saw then the four great dreams indicating the birth of a Halabhṛt (Balabhadra). [...] ”.
1b) Pavanavega (पवनवेग) is the son of Yaśodharā and king Śukladanta from Śulkapura, according to chapter 5.3 [śāntinātha-caritra].—Accordingly, as one Vidyādhara said to king Vajrāyudha:—“[...] There is a mountain Vaitāḍhya in the province Sukaccha, the ornament of Videhakṣetra in this same Jambūdvīpa. On top of the mountain [i.e., Vaitāḍhya] is situated a city as crest-jewel of the row of cities, Śulkapura, like a tax on the wealth of the heavens. There lived a Vidyādhara-king Śukladanta, and his wife, Yaśodharā, maintaining the glory of two families. I am their son, Pavanavega, and I attained youth and acquired the collection of arts gradually. [...]”.
2) Pavanavegā (पवनवेगा) is the wife of Jaṭilakauśika, according to chapter 5.1 [śāntinātha-caritra].—Accordingly:—“[...] On the bank of the Airāvatī in the forest Bhūtaratna, Kapila became the son, Dharmila, of the ascetic, Jaṭilakauśika, who was devoted to penance, and of his wife, Pavanavegā, like the union of the yoke-pin and the yoke. Cherished by the women-ascetics like a tree in the court of the hermitage, the boy Dharmila gradually grew up. After taking initiation at the side of his father as a (Śaiva) ascetic, he began foolish penance, for that was his father’s and mother’s kind. [...]”.
3) Pavanavega (पवनवेग) is the name of a Vidyādhara, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.2 [Rāvaṇa’s expedition of conquest].—Accordingly, “[...] Realizing that Vaiśravaṇa was free from desire, (Rāvaṇa) asked his forgiveness, bowed to him, and took his car Puṣpaka together with Laṅkā. He got into Puṣpaka, a flower on the creeper of the Lakṣmī of victory, and went to the peak of Mount Sammeta to praise the statues of the Arhats. A Vidyādhara, Pavanavega, wounded, came there, announced by the door-keeper, bowed, and said: ‘[...]’”.
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.
