Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaSannihita (सन्निहित).—An Agni (fire). This agni creates the power of activity inside the living things. It is mentioned in Mahābhārata, Vana Parva, Chapter 221, Stanza 19, that this fire was the third son of Manu.
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSaṃnihita (संनिहित) refers to “that which is near at hand”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.19 (“Gaṇapati’s marriage”).—Accordingly, as Gaṇeśa said to Śiva and Pārvatī: “By worshipping you, Pārvatī and Śiva, I have intelligently circumambulated the earth extending to the oceans. Is it not the verdict of the Vedas or the Śāstras or any other sacred code? Is it true or otherwise?—‘[...] The holy centre of a son consists of the lotus-like feet of his parents. The other holy centres can be reached only after going a long distance. This holy centre is near at hand (saṃnihita), easily accessible and a means of virtue. For a son and wife, the auspicious holy centre is in the house itself’”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraSannihita (सन्निहित) and Samāna are the two Indras of the Aprajñaptika class Vyantaras living in the first 100 yojanas of the Ratnaprabhā-earth in the “lower world” (adhaloka), 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 the first 100 yojanas of Ratnaprabhā, with the exception of 10 above and 10 below, i.e., in 80 yojanas, there are 8 classes of Vyantaras: [viz., the Aprajñaptikas, ...] The two Indras in these classes are respectively: [viz., Sannihita and Samāna;...]”.
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.
