ū貹śn (रूपशालिन�) (Cf. ū貹śnī) refers to “one endowed with beauty�, according to the Guhyasūtra chapter 3.—Accordingly, “[...] If one torments the body with rain, cold and heat, �, devoted to recitation (japarata) and meditation, this is called the Great Observance. A woman skilled in the pleasures of love-making, endowed with beauty (ū貹śī) and youth; such a woman one should procure, holding one’s senses back from the objects of the senses, and one should kiss and embrace [her], placing the penis upon her sex while remaining focussed upon recitation and meditation—one performs [thus] the Sword-Blade Observance. If one should succumb to the control of desire, then one certainly falls into hell. [...]�.

ū貹ś (रूपशाल�) refers to a class of kinnara deities according to the Śvetāmbara tradition, while the Digambara tradition does not recognize this class. The kinnaras refer to a category of vyantaras gods which represents one of the four classes of celestial beings (devas). The kinnaras are black in complexion and their ٲⲹ-ṛkṣa (sacred-tree) is Aśoka according to both traditions.

The deities such as ū貹śs are defined in ancient Jain cosmological texts such as the Saṃgrahaṇīratna in the Śvetāmbara tradition or the Tiloyapaṇṇati by Yativṛṣabha (5th century) in the Digambara tradition.
