Garhita (गर्हित) refers to “avoiding” (certain undesirable persons), according to the Devyāmata (in the section śalyoddhāra-paṭala or “excavation of extraneous substances”).—Accordingly, “[...] If a heretic is seen, that brings an undesirable outcome to householders. If one hears someone hurt, wounded, or killed, or something broken, then [the officiant] should not divide the site with cords. If there are persons who are not praised, undesirable, or blameworthy, then one should avoid (garhita) seeing such persons, hearing [the names of] such persons announced, and hearing the voices of such persons. [...]”.

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Garhita (गर्हित) refers to “(that which is) derogatory”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.14 (“The Gaṇas argue and wrangle”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to his attendants: “O Gaṇas, hear you all. A battle may not be a proper course. You are all my own. He is Pārvatī’s Gaṇa. But if we are going to be humble, there is likely to be a rumour: ‘Śiva is subservient to his wife’. O Gaṇas, this is certainly derogatory (garhita) to me. The policy of meeting an action with another (Tit for tat) is a weighty one. That single-handed Gaṇa is a mere boy. What valour can be expected of him? [...]”.

context information

The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.

In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: archive.org: Jaina Yoga

Garhita (गर्हित) or Nindya refers to “reprehensible speech” represents a division of untruth (asatya) according to Amitagati’s classification in his 11th-century Śrāvakācāra verses (6.49-54).Nindya, in Hemacandra’s terminology garhita, is again subdivided into:

1. apriya (speech that is tactlessly hurtful),
2. garhya (speech that is insulting),
3. sāvadya (speech in which encouragement to harmful actions is given).

Amitagati’s classification of these untruths (e.g., garhita) is given not only by the Digambaras Amitagati and Amṛtacandra but also in the Yoga-śāstra where the treatment goes back directly to Siddhasena’s commentary on the Tattvārtha-sūtra (verse 7.9) and indeed to the Śvetāmbara Bhāṣya.

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.
