In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationEkākin (एकाकिन्) (Cf. Ekākinī) refers to a “lonely person”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.19 (“Kāma’s destruction by Śiva”).—Accordingly, as the Gods said to Śiva: “[...] O lord, the chaste Rati is lonely [i.e., ekākinī] and miserable now. O lord Śiva, she is in great lamentation, O bestower of everything, please console her. If you have finally disposed off Kāma, O Śiva, you are desirous of annihilating all the gods by means of your fury. On seeing the distress of Rati, the gods are almost doomed. Hence you must remove the distress of Rati”.

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsEkakin (एककिन्) refers to “(one who is) alone”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “This very same [one] [com.—ekakin—‘alone’], whose mind is delighted with the prosperity of heaven, alone enjoys the divine nectar of pleasure in heaven continuously produced by desire. For this embodied soul there is not another companion in union and in separation, in birth or in death and at the time of pleasure and pain”.

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.
