In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I1) 痴补峁卥补肠奴濒补 (啶掂啷嵿啶氞啶�) or 痴补峁卥补肠奴濒补kath膩 refers to one of the 157 stories embedded in the 碍补迟丑腻尘补丑辞诲补诲丑颈 by Somacandra (narrating stories from Jain literature, based on the Karp奴raprakara), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the 鈥榁incenzo Joppi鈥� library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.鈥擳he 碍补迟丑腻尘补丑辞诲补诲丑颈 represents a repository of 157 stories [e.g., 痴补峁卥补肠奴濒补-kath膩] written in prose Sanskrit, although each of them is preceded by a verse.

2) 痴补峁僰补肠奴濒补 (啶掂啶曕啷傕げ) was the head of a thief-gang, according to the 痴补峁僰补肠奴濒补copa墨 by L膩lacanda (dealing with the lives of Jain teachers).鈥敵詹贯箖k补肠奴濒补 was the head of a thief-gang who was first opposed to receive any Jain teaching. Later on, however, he accepted to observe four vows that had been given to him by a monk. Respecting them dutifully saved him from terrible misdeeds or dangers. He was assisted by the Jain layman Jinad膩sa (here Ja峁嘺d膩sa) in his spiritual progress. He embodies the transformation from a bad individual to a good one. Therefore, he features in Merutu峁単as奴ri鈥檚 Upade艣a艣ata among those who were purified thanks to an atonement (see Berlin: Weber no. 1986).
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.
