In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
: Scribd: Shri Syamananda-satakañ峾 (काञ्चिदा�) refers to a “belt� (decoration) according to the Śrī Śyāmānanda-śataka verse 8.73.—Accordingly, “[...] Lord Kṛṣṇa, the line of hairs on whose torso is like a line of black bees on a ٲ tree, Lord Kṛṣṇa whose belly is graceful with three folds of skin, Lord Kṛṣṇa whose navel lake is home for the śī fish of the Gopīs� eyes, Lord Kṛṣṇa whose graceful hips are decorated with a tinkling jewel belt (i.e., ԾṣkūᲹ-ṇi-ñ峾)�.

Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu�).
Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
: Journal of the University of Bombay Volume V: Apabhramsa metres (2)ñī峾 (काञ्चीदा�) is the name of metre similair to Āyāmaka which, both classified as Dvipadi (metres with two lines in a stanza) discussed in books such as the Chandonuśāsana, Kavidarpaṇa, Vṛttajātisamuccaya and Svayambhūchandas.—Āyāmaka has 33 ٰ in each of their two lines, made up by 7 ٳٰܰ and 1 貹ñٰ at the end. The yati in this is not mentioned and this means that it is the usual one coming after the 8th ٰ, the initial beat of the being on the 1st ٰ.—When on the other hand, the initial beat is shifted from the first to the 3rd, 5th and 7th ٰ, and consequently the initial yati is shifted from the 8th to the 10th, 12th and the 14th ٰ, the same Āyāmaka is called respectively, ñī峾, Raśanādāma and Cuḍāmaṇi. The preposition �upa� is prefixed to the names of these four metres, if their lines are formed with 1 ṣaṇmٰ, 6 ٳٰܰ, and 1 ٰٰ, instead of the usual 7 ٳٰܰ and 1 貹ñٰ.

Chandas (छन्दस्) refers to Sanskrit prosody and represents one of the six Vedangas (auxiliary disciplines belonging to the study of the Vedas). The science of prosody (chandas-shastra) focusses on the study of the poetic meters such as the commonly known twenty-six metres mentioned by Pingalas.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritrañ峾 (काञ्चिदा�) is the name of a Vidyādhara-city, situated on mount Vaitāḍhya (in the southern row), according to chapter 1.3 [īś-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly,
“[...] Taking their families and all their retinue and ascending the best of cars, they went to Vaitāḍhya. [...] Ten yojanas above the earth, King Nami made fifty cities on the mountain in a southern row [viz., ñ峾]. Nami himself lived in Śrīrathanūpuracakravāla, the capital city among these cities. [...] The two rows of Vidyādhara-cities looked very magnificent, as if the Vyantara rows above were reflected below. After making many villages [viz., ñ峾] and suburbs, they established communities according to the suitability of place. The communities there were called by the same name as the community from which the men had been brought and put there. [...]�.

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.
