In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 7: The Five Vows

Agārī (अगारी, “householder”) or Agārin according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 7.19, “the ‘householder’ and the ‘homeless ascetic’ are the two kinds of votaries”. What is meant by householder /laity (agārī) or votary with a home? Those who have not given up the home are called householder votary or votary with homes.

A householder (agārī) does not observe vows completely. Why he then is called a votary (vrati) also? Like a person who lives in a small part of a city is called a city dweller; similarly a person who observes vows even in a small manner is called a votary.

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.
