General definition (in Jainism)

: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (Jainism)

Anubimbitā (अनुबिम्बित�) refers to a “reflection�, according to the Līlāvatīsāra which was written by the thirteenth-century Jain poet, Jinaratna.—Accordingly, his retelling contains the phrase, [ūrdhvamuṣṭir adhodṛṣṭi� (3.257c)], which describes Vatsarāja at the moment before he shoots the arrow. Vatsarāja’s fist is raised up above his head because he must point the bow up to a target above himself, and his gaze is directed down because he must sight the target by gazing at its reflection (Գܲ) in a bowl of oil on the ground. A doll called Rādhā is the target and she is placed in the middle of a rotating wheel which is suspended atop a high pillar. One can infer that the “piercing is upward� because Vatsarāja's arrow strikes her from below.

context information

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.
