General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Jaina YogaGiloī (गिलो�) in Prakrit and Guḍūcī in Sanskrit refers to the plant Tinospera cordifolia Miers. This plant is classifed as ԲԳٲ-ⲹ, or “plants that are inhabited by an infinite number of living organisms�, and therefore are abhakṣya (forbidden to consume) according to both Nemicandra (in his Pravacana-sāroddhāra v245-246) and Hemacandra (in his Yogaśāstra 3.44-46). Those plants which are classified as ԲԳٲ-ⲹs (e.g., ī) seem to be chosen because of certain morphological peculiarities such as the possession of bulbs or rhizomes orthe habit of periodically shedding their leaves; and in general theyare characterized by possibilities of vegetative reproduction.

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.
