In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra

Abhinanditā (अभिनन्दिता) refers to one of the two wifes of king Śrīṣeṇa of Ratnapura (previous incarnation of Śānti-nātha), 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:—“In this city (i.e., Ratnapura) there was a king, named Śrīṣeṇa, lotus-eyed, like a blooming lotus for the dwelling of the goddess [...] His wife, named Abhinanditā, was irreproachable in conduct, delighting the heart by her speech, moonlight to the lotus of the eye. She did not deviate from good conduct at all, even in thought, but adorned herself with it. For outer adornment is of little importance. Even ornaments were ornamented by her when she put them on her body, but they were really a burden to her naturally fair. [...]”.

context information

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.
