The KathÄåsaritsÄågara (‘ocean of streams of storyâ€�), mentioning ±á¾±°ù²¹á¹‡y²¹, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince NaravÄåhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the ±¹¾±»å²âÄå»å³ó²¹°ù²¹²õ (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of GuṇÄåá¸hya’s Bá¹›hatkathÄå consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.

Kavya (कावà¥à¤�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetryâ€� and natya, or ‘dramatic poetryâ€�.

[...] If the eclipses should fall in the lunar month of Caitra painters, writers, singers, prostitutes, men learned in the Vedas and dealers in gold [i.e., ³ó¾±°ù²¹á¹‡y²¹-paṇya], the people of Pauṇá¸ra, of Auá¸ra, of Kekaya and of Āśmaka will suffer distress and there will be good rain throughout the landâ€�.

Jyotisha concerns itself with the study and prediction of the movements of celestial bodies, in order to calculate the auspicious time for rituals and ceremonies.
Vastushastra (architecture)
: Brill: Åšaivism and the Tantric Traditions (architecture)±á¾±°ù²¹á¹‡y²¹ (हिरणà¥à¤¯) refers to “goldâ€�, according to the DevyÄåmata (chapter 105).—Accordingly, [while describing the layout of the residence (²µá¹›h²¹) for the ±è°ùÄå²õÄå»åÄåÅ›°ù²¹³¾¾±²Ô]—“[...] Storage for gems, gold (³ó¾±°ù²¹á¹‡y²¹) and cloths is recommended in the east, and for water in the south and centre.

General definition (in Hinduism)
: archive.org: Vedic index of Names and Subjects±á¾±°ù²¹á¹‡y²¹ (हिरणà¥à¤¯) in the Rigveda and later denotes ‘goldâ€�. It is hardly possible to exaggerate the value attached to gold by the Vedic Indians. The metal was, it is clear, won from the bed of rivers. Hence the Indus is called ‘goldenâ€� and ‘of golden streamâ€�. Apparently the extraction of gold from the earth was known, and washing for gold is also recorded.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Brill: Åšaivism and the Tantric Traditions (tantric Buddhism)±á¾±°ù²¹á¹‡y²¹ (हिरणà¥à¤¯) refers to “goldâ€�, according to Kuladatta’s KriyÄåsaṃgrahapañjikÄå, a text within Tantric Buddhism representing a construction manual for monasteries.—Accordingly, [while describing ±è°ù²¹³Ù¾±á¹£á¹³óÄå in chapter 4]—“Then the king should satisfy the architects, the assistants, and the spectators with a bracelet, a finger-ring, a garment, gold (³ó¾±°ù²¹á¹‡y²¹), heap of chaplet, ³ÙÄå³¾²úÅ«±ô²¹, or other [articles] according to [the donor’s] wealthâ€�.

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (±¹²¹Âá°ù²¹²âÄå²Ô²¹) are collected indepently.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Jaina Yoga±á¾±°ù²¹á¹‡y²¹ (हिरणà¥à¤¯) according to ÅšvetÄåmabara sources refers to “silverâ€� while according to Digambara it refers to “gold coinsâ€�. It represents one of the classes of the external (bahya) division of attachment (parigraha) and is related to the Aparigraha-vrata (vow of non-attachment). ±á¾±°ù²¹á¹‡y²¹ is listed in ÅšvetÄåmbara sources such as Devagupta’s Nava-pada-prakaraṇa with Laghu-vá¹›tti (58), and in Digambara sources such CÄåmuṇá¸arÄåya’s CaritrasÄåra (p. 7).
The unanimous testimony of the ÅšvetÄåmbara texts interprets ³ó¾±°ù²¹á¹‡y²¹ as “silver, minted or unmintedâ€� and, in fact, the later works from Devendra’s ÅšrÄådha-dina-ká¹›tya onwards replace ³ó¾±°ù²¹á¹‡y²¹ by less ambiguous terms. For the Digambara deary as it seems always to have meant “coins whether of gold or silverâ€�.

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.
