General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: The Original Paṇhavāyaraṇa/Praśnavyākaraṇa DiscoveredMayūravāhinī (मयूरवाहिनी) (Sanskrit; in Prakrit: Maūravāhinī) is identified with Śrutadevatā: the embodiment of the entire canonical knowledge (of Jainism), according to the Paṇhavāgaraṇa (Sanskrit: Praśnavyākaraṇa): the tenth Anga of the Jain canon which deals with the prophetic explanation of queries regarding divination.—In the Jain tradition, the twelve aṅgasūtras are described as Śrutadevatā’s limbs and the fourteen pūrvas as her ornaments. [...] With the discovery of Jīvabhogin’s commentary on the Paṇhavāgaraṇa, it is clear that Śrutadevatā was identified with the Mayūravāhinī Sarasvatī by the end of the seventh century, the date of our commentary.
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.
