Accordingly as 艢iva said to Sit腻:鈥斺�淸...] O my beloved, beautiful woman, clouds will not reach the place where I have to make an abode for you. [...] It [viz., the Him腻layas] shines with ramparts (vapra) of crystals (蝉辫丑补峁璱办补), gold (蝉惫补谤峁嘺) and silver (谤腻箩补迟补). It is lustrous with the lakes鈥擬腻nasa and others.

[...] If the eclipses should fall in the lunar month of 膧峁Ｄ遽笉ha, wells, wet fields [i.e., vapra] and rivers will become dry; dealers in roots and fruits, the people of G腻ndh腻ra, of K腻艣m墨ra, of Pulinda and of C墨na (China) will perish; and there will be abundance of rain鈥�.

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism痴补辫谤腻 (啶掂お啷嵿ぐ啶�) is the mother of 狈补尘颈苍腻迟丑补 according to 艢vet腻mbara (but she is named Vip谤墨t腻 according to Digambara), according to the 膧c腻radinakara (14th century work on Jain conduct written by Vardham腻na S奴ri). 狈补尘颈苍腻迟丑补 is the twenty-first of twenty-four T墨rtha峁卥aras in Janism. A T墨rtha峁卥ara is an enlightened being who has conquered 蝉补峁僺腻谤补 (cycle of birth and death), leaving behind him a path for others to follow.
The husband of 痴补辫谤腻 is Vijaya. It is an ancient Jain practice to worship the T墨rtha峁卥ara鈥檚 parents in various rites, such as the 辫谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻惫颈诲丑颈.
: archive.org: The Jaina Iconography痴补辫谤腻 (啶掂お啷嵿ぐ啶�) or Vappil腻 is the mother of 狈补尘颈苍腻迟丑补: the twenty-first of twenty-four T墨rtha峁僰aras or Jinas, commonly depicted in Jaina iconography.鈥擳he Jaina Uttarapur腻峁嘺 tells us that his father was a K峁triya king of Mithil腻 in the land of Bengal. According to disputed opinion, the place was not Mithil腻 but Mathur腻. The name of the Queen was Vappil腻 or 痴补辫谤腻. We hear of explanation given in the Jaina books for the origin of his name. While the Jina was in the mother鈥檚 womb, the enemies of his father bowed down (Pra峁嚹錷a) in submission. Hence, the name 狈补尘颈苍腻迟丑补.
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra1) 痴补辫谤腻 (啶掂お啷嵿ぐ啶�) is the mother of Jaya: one of the Cakrins (Cakravartins), according to chapter 1.6 [腻诲墨艣惫补谤补-肠补谤颈迟谤补] of Hemacandra鈥檚 11th century Tri峁峁ａ弓i艣al腻k腻puru峁caritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly: 鈥淸...] In Bharata there will be twenty-three other Arhats and eleven other Cakrins. [...] The Cakrins will belong to the gotra of Ka艣yapa, gold-color, and eight of them will go to 尘辞办峁. [...] In R腻jag峁沨a, Jaya will be the son of 痴补辫谤腻 and Vijaya, twelve bows tall, living for three thousand years, between Nami and Nemi鈥�.
2) Vapra (啶掂お啷嵿ぐ) is the name of a northern province situated in West-Videha in Jamb奴dv墨pa which is situated in the 鈥渕iddle world鈥� (madhyaloka), according to chapter 2.2.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸...] Between them (i.e., the Vidyutprabha and Saumanasa Mountains) are the bhogabhumis, the Devakurus. [...] Between them (i.e., the Gandham腻dana and M腻lyavat Mountains) are the very charming Uttarakurus [...] East of the Devakurus and Uttarakurus, they are called East Videhas, and to the west, West Videhas, like different countries to each other. In each, there are 16 provinces, inaccessible to each other, separated by rivers and mountains, suitable to be conquered by a Cakrin. [viz., Vapra, etc.] are the northern provinces of West Videha. [...]鈥�.
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, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
