The Ś岵 represent the wisdom that has come down from lord Śiva, received by Pārvatī and accepted by Viṣṇu. The purpose of revealing ܱ岵 (e.g., Vibudha Āgama) is to explain more elaborately than that of ū岵 (e.g., Sahasra-āgama) and to include any new idea if not dealt in ū岵.

[...] Vāsudeva fixed another arrow to his bow for the destruction of the enemy of the gods (ܻ-屹ṣa) angrily and roared like a lion. Biting his lips with anger, Jalandhara the powerful king of Asuras split the bow of Viṣṇu with his arrow. [...]�.

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsVibudha (विबु�) refers to “one who is very wise�, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Alone [the living soul] who is very wise (vibudha) becomes a god [like] a bee on a lotus [like] the face of a woman. Alone, being cut by swords, he appropriates a hellish embryo. Alone the one who is ignorant, driven by the fire of anger, etc., does action. Alone [the living soul] enjoys the empire of knowledge in the avoidance of all mental blindness. [Thus ends the reflection on] solitariness�.

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.
