General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 7: The Five VowsĀdānanikṣepa (आदाननिक्षेप) refers to “care in lifting and putting thing” and forms part of the contemplations of the vow of non-violence (ahiṃsāvrata) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 7.4.—What is meant by care in lifting and putting (ādāna-nikṣepa)? To be careful so as to avoid injury to others (small creatures) while lifting and putting implements of self-restraint like whisk, water pot, books and other things is called lifting and putting regulation.
What is the relationship of ‘regulation of movement’ (īryāsamiti) and ‘care in lifting and putting thing’ (ādāna-nikṣepa) with vow of non-violence (ahiṃsāvrata)? To safeguard against physical violence, these two have been associated with the vow of non-violence.
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.
