General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection ILaghukṣetrasamāsasūtra (लघुक्षेत्रसमाससूत्र) is the name of a work by Jayaśekharasūri dealing with the Cosmology of Jain Canonical literature.—The Laghukṣetrasamāsa (in Prakrit) is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—The last commented verse is 67. The text is the same as Ratnaśekharasūri’s Kṣetrasamāsa but does not include the last verse ascribing the work to him.
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.
