Milk of latex yeilding trees boiled with white grains (rice) must be given after it cools down. Cool drinks (śītala) arrest the poison of Asṛṅmaṇḍalī snakes”.

Śītala (शीतल) is another name (synonym) for Candana, which is a Sanskrit name for the plant Santalum album (Indian sandalwood). This synonym was identified by Narahari in his 13th-century Rājanighaṇṭu (verses 12.6-8), which is an Ayurvedic medicinal thesaurus.

1) Śītala (शीतल) refers to either “cool” or “white”, mentioned in verse 3.33 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Taking at night moonbeams as food, one shall drink, sugared buffalo’s milk (that is) cooled [viz., śītala] by the moon and stars. In groves in which the hot-rayed one is darkened by cloud-grazing huge Sal trees and Palmyra palms, [...]”.

Note: Sasita (“sugared”) has been interchanged with candrana-kṣatra-śītala and translated by bsil-mo (“cold”), which points to a variant saśīta in the basic text. Accordingly, śītala (which usually signifies “cool”) has been given the rare sense of dkar-ba (“white”); cf. śītalacchada (“white leaf”) or (“white-leaved”) MW p. 1078.—dka-ba in P is a carver’s error.

2) Śītala (शीतल) also refers to “(water that is) cooled down”, as mentioned in verse 5.18.—Accordingly, “[...] not causing effluxions (of phlegm) and light (on the stomach is) water (that has) boiled and cooled down [viz., kvathita-śītala]. In case a humour is combined with choler, (it is) wholesome; having passed (a day, however), it (is) productive of the three humours”.

If he regularly drinks the [middle flow called] Amarī; snorts [it] everyday and correctly practices Vajrolī Mudrā [in order to draw it up his urethra], it is called Amarolī.

Śītalā (शीतला), who is principally a women’s goddess, is visualized as a mother (, mātā) who protects children from paediatric ailments, notably exanthemata. She is also a fertility goddess, who helps women in finding good husbands and conceiving healthy sons. Her auspicious presence ensures the wellbeing of the family, and protects sources of livelihood. Being cold, Śītalā is summoned to ensure regular refreshing rains and to prevent famines, droughts and cattle diseases.

In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism

Śītala (शीतल):—The tenth Tīrthaṅkara (Janism recognizes 24 such teachers or Siddhas). He is also known as Śītalanātha. His colour is gold (kāñcana), according to Aparājitapṛcchā (221.5-7). His height is 90 dhanuṣa (a single dhanuṣa (or, ‘bow’) equals 6 ft), thus, roughly corresponding to 165 meters. His emblem, or symbol, is a Śrīvatsa.

Śītala’s father is Dṛḍharatha and his mother is Nandā. It is an ancient Jain practice to worship the Tīrthaṅkara’s parents in various rites, such as the pratiṣṭhāvidhi, according to the Ācāradinakara (14th century work on Jain conduct written by Vardhamāna Sūri).

Source: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra

Śītala (शीतल) refers to the tenth of the twenty-four Tīrthaṅkaras praised in the first book (ādīśvara-caritra) [chapter 1] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly, “[...] we worship the Arhats, who at all times and all places purify the people of the three worlds by their name, representation, substance, and actual existence. [...] May the Jina Śītala, a new cloud for making shoot up the bulb of the people’s supreme joy, who pours forth the nectar of Syādvāda, protect you”.

Śītala is the son of Nandā and Dṛḍharatha, according to chapter 3.8, “[...] Then Dṛḍharatha made a festival with releases from prison, etc.; for the purifying birth of such persons is for the emancipation of the world. The name ‘Śītala’ was given to him because the King’s body, when it was hot, became cool at Nandā’s touch, while he was in the womb. Attended by gods in the form of boys, the Lord of the World increased in size daily, like the waves of the ocean attended by Indras of the Velādhārins. [...]”.
