General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraTūryāṅgaka (तूर्याङ्गक) refers to one of the ten kinds of wishing-trees (kalpa), according to chapter 1.1 [ādīśvara-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.—Accordingly, “[...] among the Utttarakuras the land is naturally beautiful, with sand as sweet as sugar and waters resembling autumn-moonlight. Ten kinds of wishing-trees [viz., Tūryāṅgaka] always give to the people whatever they desire without effort on their part. [...] the Tūryāṅgakas give choice musical instruments with various times, [...] These give definite objects, and also indefinite ones; and other wishing-trees there give all things desired. [...]”.
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.
