In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraVṛksamūlā (वृक्समूल�) or Vṛksamūlāvidyā refers to one of the sixteen Vidyās from which are derived the respective classes of վ (in this case, ṛkṣaūka), according to chapter 1.3 [īś-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly,
“[...] After making [the two rows of Vidyādhara-cities], many villages and suburbs, they established communities [viz., the ṛkṣaūkas] according to the suitability of place. [...] Dharaṇendra instructed them about the law as follows: ‘If any insolent persons show disrespect or do injury to the Jinas, or the Jinas� shrines, or to those who will attain ǰṣa in this birth, or to any ascetics engaged in پ, the Vidyās [viz., Vṛksamūlās] will abandon them at once, just as wealth abandons lazy people. Whoever kills a man with his wife, or enjoys women against their will, the Vidyās will abandon him at once�.�

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.
