ٳܱṅg (मातुलिङ्�) refers to a kind of “citron tree�, as occurring in the ԱԳٲᲹⲹ貹-첹ṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. II, P. 135, ll. 6 & 18]—‘ٳܱṅg� (Marathi: Mahāḷuṅga or Māvaḷaṅga) is the name of a kind of citron tree and that of its fruit as well ‘Bījapūraka� is its synonym, and this may remind a Gujarati of ‘Bījorum�. The word �ٳܱṅg� occurs in Mālatīmadhava (VI, v 19), and its Pāiya (Prakrit) equivalent �ܱṅg� in Rāyappasenaijja (...). ‘Biyaūraya� occurs in Mālavikāgnimitra (III, p 37). This fruit is used in a ceremony known as �śԳپ�. It is considered auspicious like the cocoanut and fit to be presented to a great personage at a visit. In some Jaina temples a silver piece having the shape of a citron elongated both ways and usually gilt with gold is placed on the palm of the mam idol of a Jaina Tīrthaṅkara.

ٳܱṅg (मातुलिङ्�) refers to a kind of tree (ṛkṣa) commonly found in the forests (ṇa) of ancient India, mentioned in the Jñātādharmakathāṅga-sūtra. Forests have been a significant part of the Indian economy since ancient days. They have been considered essential for economic development in as much as, besides bestowing many geographical advantages, they provide basic materials for building, furniture and various industries. The most important forest products are wood and timber which have been used by the mankind to fulfil his various needs—domestic, agricultural and industrial.

Different kinds of trees (e.g., the ٳܱṅg tree) provided firewood and timber. The latter was used for furniture, building materials, enclosures, staircases, pillars, agricultural purposes, e. g. for making ploughs, transportation e. g. for making carts, chariots, boats, ships, and for various industrial needs. Vaṇa-kamma was an occupation dealing in wood and in various otherforest products. Iṅgāla-kamma was another occupation which was concerned with preparing charcoal from firewood.

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.
