Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyŚīٲ (शीतल) is another name (synonym) for Candana, which is a Sanskrit name for the plant Santalum album (Indian sandalwood). This synonym was identified by Narahari in his 13th-century ᲹԾṇṭ (verses 12.6-8), which is an Ayurvedic medicinal thesaurus.

In groves in which the hot-rayed one is darkened by cloud-grazing huge Sal trees and Palmyra palms, [...]�.
Note: Sasita (“sugared�) has been interchanged with candrana-kṣatra-śīٲ and translated by bsil-mo (“cold�), which points to a variant śīٲ in the basic text. Accordingly, śīٲ (which usually signifies “cool�) has been given the rare sense of dkar-ba (“white�); cf. śīٲcchada (“white leaf�) or (“white-leaved�) MW p. 1078.�dka-ba in P is a carver’s error.

In case a humour is combined with choler, (it is) wholesome; having passed (a day, however), it (is) productive of the three humours�.

In the Khaṇḍakplika sect, this is [called] Amaroī. If he regularly drinks the [middle flow called] Amarī; snorts [it] everyday and correctly practices Vajroī Mudr [in order to draw it up his urethra], it is called Amaroī. He should mix the lunar fluid which is emitted because of [this] practice, with ashes and [then,] put it on the upper body (i.e., the head, eyes, shoulders, throat, chest, arms and so on). [As a result], divine sight arises�.

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: JainismŚīٲ (शीतल):—The tenth Tīrthaṅkara (Janism recognizes 24 such teachers or Siddhas). He is also known as Śīٲntha. His colour is gold (ñԲ), according to Aparjitapṛcch (221.5-7). His height is 90 Գṣa (a single Գṣa (or, ‘bow�) equals 6 ft), thus, roughly corresponding to 165 meters. His emblem, or symbol, is a Śrīvatsa.
Śīٲ’s father is Dṛḍharatha and his mother is Nand. It is an ancient Jain practice to worship the Tīrthaṅkara’s parents in various rites, such as the پṣṭ屹, according to the Ācradinakara (14th century work on Jain conduct written by Vardhana Sūri).
: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraŚīٲ (शीतल) refers to the tenth of the twenty-four Tīrthaṅkaras praised in the first book (īś-ٰ) [chapter 1] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśakpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, “[...] we worship the Arhats, who at all times and all places purify the people of the three worlds by their name, representation, substance, and actual existence. [...] May the Jina Śīٲ, a new cloud for making shoot up the bulb of the people’s supreme joy, who pours forth the nectar of Sydvda, protect you�.
Śīٲ is the son of Nand and Dṛḍharatha, according to chapter 3.8, “[...] Then Dṛḍharatha made a festival with releases from prison, etc.; for the purifying birth of such persons is for the emancipation of the world. The name ‘Śīٲ� was given to him because the King’s body, when it was hot, became cool at Nand’s touch, while he was in the womb. Attended by gods in the form of boys, the Lord of the World increased in size daily, like the waves of the ocean attended by Indras of the Vedhrins. [...]�.

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.
