General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraVijayabhadra (विजयभद्र) is one of the two sons of Svayamprabhā and Tripṛṣṭha, according to chapter 5.1 [śāntinātha-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:—“[...] The soul of Abhinanditā fell from Saudharmakalpa and became a son of Tripṛṣṭha and Svayamprabhā. Because his mother saw a dream of Śrī being sprinkled, while he was still in the womb, his father named him Śrīvijaya. A second son of Svayamprabhā was born, named Vijayabhadra, the abode of victory and good fortune. [...]”.
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.
