General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra搁奴辫腻峁兣沬办腻 (啶班啶ぞ啶傕ざ啶苦啶�) refers to one of the four Dikkum膩r墨s coming from Rucakadv墨pa, according to chapter 1.2 [腻诲墨艣惫补谤补-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,
鈥淸...] Four Dikkum膩r墨s [viz., 搁奴辫腻峁兣沬办腻] came from Rucakadv墨pa. They cut the Lord鈥檚 navel-cord, leaving three inches, made a hole in the ground, and deposited it there. They filled the hole with diamonds and jewels quickly, and made a platform covered with 诲耻谤惫腻-grass over it. To the east, south and north of the Lord鈥檚 birth-house, they created three houses of plantain like houses of 艢r墨. In each one of them, they created an extensive four-room apartment adorned with a lion-throne, resembling their own palaces. [...]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.
