In Jainism
Jain philosophy
Source: archive.org: Anekanta Jaya Pataka of Haribhadra SuriPiṇḍārtha (पिण्डार्थ) refers to the “summed-up meaning”, as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 350, l. 16]—‘Piṇḍārtha’ means the meaning summed up, the gist or the sum and the substance of the whole. Its Pāiya (Prakrit) equivalent ‘piṇḍattha’ occurs in Dasaveyāliyanijjutti (v 25) and ‘piṇḍitattha’ in Mālavikāgnimitra (I, p 19 of Kale’s edition).
Note: Piṇḍārtha is synonymous to Samudāyārtha: the “sum and substance” (of a versified exposition of a philosophical doctrine).—[Cf. P. 3, ll 19-20]—Haribhadra as a commentator has here first given the sum and substance (samudāyārtha) of v 1-10 and has then explained the same word by word (avayavārtha). He has adopted this very method on p. 167 but the opposite one m Vol. II, on p. 29. [...] Synonyms of Samudāyārtha:—Piṇḍārtha, Aidamparya, Bhāvanikā, Bhāvārtha, Paramārtha and Abhisandhi.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
