In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

Anauṣadhagraha (अनौषधग्रह) refers to a “planet without any medicine”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Fool, perceiving this multitude of objects that is continually transitory and you do not understand. This is a planet without any medicine (anauṣadhagraha—grahaḥ ko'yam anauṣadhaḥ)”.

Note: The first part of the verse, according to the Hindi explanation (JA[S] 3rd ed. p. 27), means that a human being sees the fickleness of sense objects and is not dispassionate towards them but remains engrossed in them. Such folly as this, it continues, is impossible to destroy by means of good spiritual instruction and this is what Śubhacandra meant when he said that this is a planet without any medicine. In other words, whatever destiny is determined for a person according to the influence of the planet they are born under, good spiritual instruction will not cure them of the ignorance of remaining attached to sense objects despite being aware that they are ephemeral.

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.
