In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritraվṅg (विहङ्ग�) refers to one of the warriors fighting in Rma’s army, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.7 [The killing of Rvaṇa] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalkpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.—Accordingly, “[...] When the battle had been going on for a long time, the army of the Rkṣasas was broken by the Vnaras like a forest by winds. [...] Then Sugrīva and the others made seven walls with four gates around the two Rghavas by means of a vidy. [...] On the north Aṅgada, Kūrma, Aṅga, Mahendra, վṅg, Suṣeṇa, Candraraśmi stood in turn at the gates. [...]. Making the two Kkutsthas in the center in this way, Sugrīva and the others, powerful, were devoted to watching, intent as yogis. [...].�.

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, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
