In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsԲٰ (यानपात्र) refers to a “boat�, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “It is declared, ‘Activity is the action of mind, body and speech�. It is said by those who are learned in the knowledge of reality, ‘Indeed, that is the cause of the influx of karma�. As a boat (Բٰ) in the middle of the ocean takes in water through holes, so a living soul takes in karma through holes of activity which are good and bad�.

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.
