General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraMadhupiṅgala (मधुपिङ्गल) is the son of Tṛṇabindu and Satyayaśas, sister of Ayodhana (king from Cāraṇayugala), according , according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.2 [Rāvaṇa’s expedition of conquest] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, as Muni Nārada said to Rāvaṇa: “[...] Diti said to Sulasā (daughter of Ayodhana, king of Cāraṇayugala): ‘Child, there is great anxiety to me in this svayaṃvara of yours. The choice depends on you. So listen to the whole thing from the beginning. There were two sons of Ṛṣabha Svāmin, Bharata and Bāhubali, who had descendants, whose sons were Sūrya and Soma. My brother, Tṛṇabindu, was born in the Soma-line; your father, King Ayodhana, was born in the Sūrya-line. Ayodhana’s sister, Satyayaśas, became the wife of King Tṛṇabindu and their son was Madhupiṅgala. [...]’”.
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.
