Garhita (啶椸ぐ啷嵿す啶苦い) refers to 鈥�(that which is) derogatory鈥�, according to the 艢ivapur膩峁嘺 2.4.14 (鈥淭he Ga峁嘺s argue and wrangle鈥�).鈥擜ccordingly, as 艢iva said to his attendants: 鈥淥 Ga峁嘺s, hear you all. A battle may not be a proper course. You are all my own. He is P膩rvat墨鈥檚 Ga峁嘺. But if we are going to be humble, there is likely to be a rumour: 鈥樑歩va is subservient to his wife鈥�. O Ga峁嘺s, this is certainly derogatory (garhita) to me. The policy of meeting an action with another (Tit for tat) is a weighty one. That single-handed Ga峁嘺 is a mere boy. What valour can be expected of him? [...]鈥�.

In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

: archive.org: Jaina Yoga

Garhita (啶椸ぐ啷嵿す啶苦い) or Nindya refers to 鈥渞eprehensible speech鈥� represents a division of untruth (asatya) according to Amitagati鈥檚 classification in his 11th-century 艢r膩vak膩c膩ra verses (6.49-54).Nindya, in Hemacandra鈥檚 terminology garhita, is again subdivided into:

apriya (speech that is tactlessly hurtful),
garhya (speech that is insulting),
蝉腻惫补诲测补 (speech in which encouragement to harmful actions is given).

Amitagati鈥檚 classification of these untruths (e.g., garhita) is given not only by the Digambaras Amitagati and Am峁泃acandra but also in the Yoga-艣膩stra where the treatment goes back directly to Siddhasena鈥檚 commentary on the Tattv膩rtha-s奴tra (verse 7.9) and indeed to the 艢vet膩mbara Bh膩峁a.

context information

The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
