The word jainde is used as an adjective qualifying 'speed'. It is derived from the word java which means fast.

The Topic of taking Refuge in the Lord by Camara
Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras perceives the burning...... up to deadly Vajra approaching him. Having perceived it, he becomes engrossed in thought. He closes his eyes, while thinking.' He opens his eyes after some time and then closes them again. He becomes engrossed in thought with his eyes closed. In this moment of anxiety, his crest of the crown broke down; his armlet hang downward; with legs up and head down and with his armpits as if sweating, he proceeded in speed that was high, quick (3.112)...... up to in horizontal direction through innumerable continents and oceans and consecutively reached the Jambu Island, ...... up to the Aśoka garden, the excellent Asoka tree and the spot which was in my vicinity. Reaching there, fear-sticken, he spoke to me murmuring with fear thus: 'O Lord! thou art my refuge'. Saying so, he at once fell down with great speed in the space between my feet.
