General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraPravarāvalī (प्रवरावली) is the wife of king Prakāśasiṃha from Vidagdha, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.4 [Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.—Accordingly, “[...] Atibhūti, grieved at the separation from Sarasā, died, wandered through births for a long time, and one time was born a young haṃsa. One day, as he was being devoured by a hawk, he fell near a Sādhu, and the Sādhu said the namaskāra to him as he was dying. From the very great power of the namaskāra, after death he became a god among the Kinnaras with a life-term of ten thousand years. He fell and became the son, Kuṇḍalamaṇḍita, of King Prakāśasiṃha by his wife Pravarāvalī in the city Vidagdha. [...]”.
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, 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.
