In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Ādijina (आदिजिन) or Ādijinastavana is the name of a work by Muni Ratana dealing with classical hymns and stotras from Jain literature.—The Ādijinastavana (in Rajasthani) is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.
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.
