Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSuyaśas (सुयशस्) refers to the “ever auspicious glory” (i.e., of Śiva), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.43.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] permitted by Śiva and with his blessings, O sage, Dakṣa the devotee of Śiva, with a delighted heart completed his sacrifice. [...] Then the celestial sages, sang the glory of Śiva and left for their abodes with delighted minds. Others too were pleased and left for their homes. Viṣṇu and I, went to our regions, joyfully singing the ever auspicious glory (suyaśas) of Śiva”.

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: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra1) Suyaśas (सुयशस्) is an incarnation of Keśava, Śrīmati and Svayamprabhā, according to chapter 1.1 [ādīśvara-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, “[...] the soul of Keśava became a Rājput, Suyaśas. Suyaśas was devoted to Vajranābha even from childhood. Affection resulting from a former birth binds friendship. The King’s sons and Suyaśas gradually grew up, resembling the six mountain-ranges turned into men [...] Suyaśas was Vajranābha’s charioteer, like Aruṇa of the Sun. For great warriors must choose charioteers in accordance with themselves”.
2) Suyaśas (सुयशस्) is the wife of king Siṃhasena from Ayodhyā, according to chapter 4.4 [anantanātha-caritra].—Accordingly:—“[...] Chief of the virtuous, Siṃhasena delighted the world with his various blameless virtues, like the moon with its white rays. [...] His wife, the dwelling-place of dharma, was named Suyaśas, with abundant glory from her own good conduct. She was the sole purifier of the family of her mother, father, and father-in-law, like the Mandākinī of the three worlds. [...]”.
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.
