In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVijitendriya (विजितेन्द्रिय) refers to “one who has controlled his senses”, and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.19 (“Jalandhara’s emissary to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Jalandhara said to Rāhu: “O Rāhu of great intellect, most excellent of my emissaries, go to the mountain Kailāsa, O accomplisher of all activities. A sage and a Yogin named Śiva lives there. He has matted locks of hair. He is detached. He has controlled his senses (vijitendriya). His body is smeared with ashes. O messenger, you shall go there and tell the detached Yogin Śiva with matted locks of hair, fearlessly. [...]”.
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: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsVijitendriya (विजितेन्द्रिय) refers to “one who has 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 (vijitendriya) should accomplish mastery of posture. Those whose posture is very steady do not tire, even slightly, in absorption”.
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.
