General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IAgaracanda (अगरचन्द) (disciple of Sarūpacanda) is the author of the Kesī-Gotama ko coḍhāliyo (dealing with the Mūlasūtra section of Jain Canonical literature), and 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.—This version was composed by Agaracanda, disciple of Sarūpacanda, himself disciple of Harṣacanda of the kharataragaccha. Vinayasāgar (see reference above) mentions two works by him but not this one: the Sīmaṃdhara bāvanī cauḍhālīya composed in VS 1894 and the Navavāḍa ḍhāla composed in VS 1879. The present one [i.e., Kesī-Gotama ko coḍhāliyo] was composed on the fourth day of the bright half of Aśvina in the year VS 1877 (= 1820 ce). All these three works were composed in the same place, Rāmpur.
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.
