Vijita (विजित) refers to “having conquered (the senses)”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Now, a Yogī who has conquered the senses (vijita-indriya) should accomplish mastery of posture. Those whose posture is very steady do not tire, even slightly, in absorption”.
