General definition (in Jainism)
: Prakrit Bharati Academy: Death with Equanimityٳܰ峦ⲹ (दुर्गदेवाचार्य) or ٳܰ峦ⲹ (circa 11th century AD) is the author of the Riṣṭasamuccaya: a Jain work from the 11th century devoted to the study of death signs.—The Riṣṭasamuccaya mentions three types of death-signs (ṣṭ), namely 1. Piṇḍastha Riṣṭa or the bodily death; 2. Padastha Riṣṭa or environmental death; 3. Rūpastha Riṣṭa or visual or virtual death.

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.
