General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra狈补苍诲补辫耻谤墨 (啶ㄠえ啷嵿う啶啶班) is the name of an ancient city, according to chapter 4.4 [补苍补苍迟补苍腻迟丑补-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�淣ow in Jamb奴dv墨pa in East Videha there is a fair city, 狈补苍诲补辫耻谤墨, the birth-place of great joy. [...] Noble-minded, he felt disgust with worldly existence, like a clever city-man disgusted with living in a village. He went to 峁氠梗i V峁涐梗abha鈥檚 lotus-feet, pulled out his hair in five handfuls, and adopted good conduct. After cherishing good conduct like a garden bearing much fruit, he died, and became a chief-god in Sahasr膩ra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.
