In Hinduism

Ayurveda (science of life)

Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)

Śālin (शालिन्) refers to “profuse” (i.e., what has become ripe and eatable), mentioned in verse 3.34 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] In groves in which the hot-rayed one is darkened by cloud-grazing huge Sal trees and Palmyra palms, (and which are) profuse in bunches of grapes [viz., drākṣā-stabaka-śālin] clinging to spring-flowers in a rest-house in which (are found) plenty of cloths besprinkled with fragrant cold water, [...]”.

Note: gyur-za, the correspondent of śālin (“profuse”) is of doubtful meaning and its rendition only tentative: Schmidt (according to Jäschke, Dict. p. 518) takes it to signify, “what has become ripe and eatable”; Acharya (according to Das, Dict. p. 1154) equates it to Sanskrit nirbhara and puṣa (“dependence, support”), while Das himself (referring to the rTsis-gźi phyogs-bsgrigs ch. 17) understands by it (“a tree bent under the weight of its flowers or fruits”); the Dict, of the Fr. Cath. Miss. p. 922 again translates “manger les épis mûrs”. In the absence of further occurrences, no definite conclusion can be arrived at.

Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions

Śālin (शालिन्) (Cf. Śālinī) refers to “one endowed with (beauty and youth)”, according to the Guhyasūtra chapter 3.—Accordingly, “[...] If one torments the body with rain, cold and heat, …, devoted to recitation (japarata) and meditation, this is called the Great Observance. A woman skilled in the pleasures of love-making, endowed with beauty and youth (rūpa-yauvana-śālinī); such a woman one should procure, holding one’s senses back from the objects of the senses, and one should kiss and embrace [her], placing the penis upon her sex while remaining focussed upon recitation and meditation—one performs [thus] the Sword-Blade Observance. If one should succumb to the control of desire, then one certainly falls into hell. [...]”.
