General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflectionsṣṭٳ (अधिष्ठितात्मन्) refers to “those whose selves are settled (in the doctrine )�, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Snakes, fire, poison, tigers, elephants, lions, demons and kings, etc. do not hurt those whose selves are settled in the doctrine (ṣṭٲ-ٳ). On the earth even the lord of the snakes with a thousand trembling mouths is not able to describe clearly the entire power of the doctrine�.

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.
