General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraJvalanaprabha (啶溹啶掂げ啶ㄠお啷嵿ぐ啶�) is the name of a N膩ga-king, according to chapter 2.5 [补箩颈迟补苍腻迟丑补-肠补谤颈迟谤补] of Hemacandra鈥檚 11th century Tri峁峁ａ弓i艣al膩k膩puru峁caritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly:鈥斺�淭he younger brothers (of Sagara) agreed and then Jahnu took the staff-jewel which had a powerful radiance like the sun. He and his younger brothers began to dig up the earth to make a moat around A峁ａ弓膩pada like a city. The sons of Sagara dug the moat a thousand yojanas in depth and by it split open the homes of the N膩gas. [...] Then the N膩ga-king, Jvalanaprabha, blazing with anger like a fire, saw the N膩ga-folk confused. When he saw the earth split open, thinking 鈥榃hat鈥檚 this?鈥� he hurried away and came to Sagara鈥檚 sons. [...]鈥�.
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, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
