Rohita (रोहित) refers to a type of fish, also known as rohitamatsya, according to the Dhanvantari-nighaṇṭu. In the science of Āyurveda (ancient Indian healthcare), the meat of a fish (matsya) is used and prepared in balanced diets. Rohita fish is red in color and has red-colored eyes and mouth. It is small carp mainly used in the treatments of paralysis. It is sweet and salty in taste.. The Dhanvantarinighaṇṭu is a 10th-century medicinal thesaurus (nighaṇṭu) containing characteristics and synonyms of various herbal plants and minerals.

1) Rohita (रोहित)—Sanskrit word for the animal “red deer”. This animal is from the group called Kūlacara (‘shore-dwellers’). Kūlacara itself is a sub-group of the group of animals known as Ānupa (those that frequent marshy places).

2) Rohita (रोहित)—Sanskrit word for a fish “carp” (Labeo rohita). This animal is from the group called Nādeya-matsya (‘fresh water fish’). Nādeya-matsya itself is a sub-group of the group of animals known as Ānupa (those that frequent marshy places).

The Rohita leaves an astringent after-taste, and destroys the deranged Vāyu. This species lives on such aquatic plants and herbs as grow in fresh-water pools and do not inordinately generate Pittam.

Rohita (रोहित) or Lohita refers to a type of fish identified with Labeo rohita Ham., as mentioned in the 12th-century Mānasollāsa or Abhilaṣitārthachintāmaṇi, an ancient Sanskrit text describing thirty-five kinds of marine and fresh water fishes.—Rohita has been described as scaly, medium-sized fish that inhabits rivers. Sanskrit literature frequently mentions this name. Bhavaprakasha (Chunekar and Pandey, 1986) describes rohita as a red fish that is best for human consumption. Rohita (or lohita) means red. Hora (1951) suggests rohita as Labeo fimbriatus Bl. instead of L. rohita Ham. or popularly called rohu, because the latter is of a rather large size, and not of medium size as described by Someshvardeva. However, we do not consider Hora’s reason sufficiently strong. Many other authorities have consistently maintained that rohita is L. rohita. Rohita also has a name (tambada masa = red fish) in Marathi. We, therefore, maintain that rohita should be identified as L. rohita, which is a very commonly found carp.

If rohita is taken to mean red, then it refers to His nourishing activities. In Lalitā-sahasranāma, Lalitāmbikā is often described as red in complexion, where Her red complexion is described as compassion for the beings. The same meaning is applicable here as well. Rudra is compassionate to those who follow the path of dharma.

In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra

Rohitā (रोहिता) and Rohitāṃśā are two great rivers situated in the Haimavata zone of Jambūdvīpa which is situated in the “middle world” (madhyaloka), according to chapter 2.2 [ajitanātha-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:—“In Bharatakṣetra there are the great rivers, Gaṅgā and Sindhu; in the zone named Haimavata, Rohitā and Rohitāṃśā; in the Harivarṣaka zone, the rivers Harit and Harikāntā; in the Mahāvidehas the best rivers Śītā and Śītodā Narakāntā and Narīkāntā in the zone Ramyaka; Svarṇakūlā and Rūpyakūlā in the zone Hairaṇyavata; Raktā and Raktodā in the zone Airāvata. The first of each pair (i.e., Rohitā) flows to the east and the second (i.e., Rohitāṃśā) to the west. The great rivers Gaṅgā and Sindhu are each attended by 14,000 best rivers. Each pair of the others is attended by twice as many rivers as the preceding pair up to Śītā and Śītodā. The northern rivers (north of Videha) are equal to the southern. Śītā and Śītodā, however, are attended by 532,000 rivers each”.

Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 3: The Lower and middle worlds

Rohita (रोहित) or Rohit is the name of a river that, coupled with the Rohitāsyā river, separates the Haimavata region. Haimavata refers to one of the regions of Jambūdvīpa: the first continent of the Madhya-loka (middle-word), according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 3.10. The Rohita river flows eastwards. The Rohita and Rohitāsyā rivers have 28000 tributaries.

Jambūdvīpa (where flows the Rohita river) is in the centre of all continents and oceans; all continents and oceans are concentric circles with Jambūdvīpa in the centre. Like the navel is in the centre of the body, Jambūdvīpa is in the centre of all continents and oceans. Sumeru Mount is in the centre of Jambūdvīpa. It is also called Mount Sudarśana.
