General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism罢颈驳颈帽肠丑补 (啶むた啶椸た啶炧啶�).鈥擭ame of a lake situated on top of the Ni峁dha mountain range. There are seven such mountain ranges (or, 惫补谤峁诲丑补谤补辫补谤惫补迟补蝉) located in 闯补尘产奴诲惫墨辫补 according to Jaina cosmology. Tigi帽ca has at its centre a large padmahrada (lotus-island), which is home to the Goddess Dh峁泃i. 闯补尘产奴诲惫墨辫补 sits at the centre of madhyaloka (鈥榤iddle world鈥�) and is the most important of all continents and it is here where human beings reside.
: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 3: The Lower and middle worlds罢颈驳颈帽肠丑补 (啶むた啶椸た啶炧啶�) is a lake lying on top of mount Ni峁dha, situated in 闯补尘产奴诲惫墨辫补: the first continent of the Madhya-loka (middle-word), according to the 2nd-century Tattv膩rthas奴tra 3.10. There is a giant lotus (辫耻峁补谤补) in the centre of the lakes (e.g., 罢颈驳颈帽肠丑补). In these lotuses live the nymphs (e.g., Dh峁泃i, 鈥榩atience 鈥� for the 罢颈驳颈帽肠丑补 lake), whose lifetime is one pit-measured period (playa) and who live with S膩m膩nikas (co-chiefs) and P膩ri峁das (counsellors). A 蝉腻尘腻苍颈办补 is a deity who is equal to Indra in life-span, power and enjoyment but lack grandeur. The 辫腻谤颈峁诲补蝉 (counsellors) are friendly deities who are members of Indra鈥檚 council.
闯补尘产奴诲惫墨辫补 (where lies the 罢颈驳颈帽肠丑补 lake) is in the centre of all continents and oceans; all continents and oceans are concentric circles with 闯补尘产奴诲惫墨辫补 in the centre. Like the navel is in the centre of the body, 闯补尘产奴诲惫墨辫补 is in the centre of all continents and oceans. Sumeru Mount is in the centre of 闯补尘产奴诲惫墨辫补. It is also called Mount Sudar艣ana.
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.
