In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: University of Cambridge: JainismAntakṛddaśā (अन्तकृद्दशा) refers to the eighth Aṅga of the Śvetāmbara canon, a narrative text in Ardhamāgadhī Prakrit, telling stories of various characters who “put an end” (anta-kṛt) to rebirths. Many of them belong to the time of the twenty-second Jina, Ariṣṭanemi, and some of them relate to the Kṛṣṇa cycle.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
