General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra屹ٲīٳ (ऐरावततीर्�) is the name of a sacred place (īٳ), according to chapter 1.2 [īś-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism. Accordingly, “[...] having taken the water-pots, the Ābhiyogika-gods took water from the ocean of milk, like clouds. From it they took white lotuses, blue lotuses, and red lotuses, as if to show to Hari a token of (the taking of) the waters. [...] At the Tīrthas, Māgadha, etc., of Bharata, Airāvata [viz., 屹ٲīٳ], etc., they took water and clay as if to make additional pitchers�.

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.
