Vid (विद्) refers to “being sensitive” (to very slight stimuli), according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient  India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 5, “on marks of the stages of life”]: “6. With wood-like (hardening) skin, thin (nearly closed) sutures (in the skull), thin hair (on the head), fond of mud, water, and dust; he shows a very little sexual excitement, becomes angry, is sensitive to pleasure and pain and to guidance with the foot, and also understands words (of command) and other (directions, sc., with goad or stick), and so (begins to be) controllable by a driver, and is superficially sensitive (uttāna-vid) (to very slight stimuli); the nape of the neck, avagraha, and tusks become prominent: this is a kalabha, who has reached the fifth year”.

context information

Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.

In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

Vid (विद्) refers to “one who know (the cardinal difference between the body and the Self)”, according to the Yaśastilaka Campū verse 2.215-216.—Accordingly, “The Self is by nature deathless and without any beginning, endowed with bliss and infinite power, and luminous and pure. The powerful flames of sinful Karma heat it, like mercury, after lodging it in the body. Under the intoxicating power of Karma, even a man of superior merit goes reeling down to unhappy births. Se [sic] let the wise, who know the cardinal difference between the body and the Self (paramabheda-vid—paramabhedavido vidagdhāḥ), strive for the bliss that is free from rebirth”.

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.
