General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Jainworld: Jain HistoryAṅgapaiṭṭha (अङ्गपैट्ठ) or simply Aṅga represents one of the two divisions of canonical texts in Digambara Jainism (the other being Aṅgabāhira).—The Sarvārthasiddhi of Pūjyapāda and the Dhavalā of Vīrsena include in the Aṅgapaiṭṭha group following twelve Aṅgas:—
- Āyāra,
- Sūdayada,
- Ṭhāṇa,
- Samavāya,
- Viyāhapaṇṇatti,
- Nāhādhammakahā,
- Uvāsayajjhayaṇa,
- Aṅtayaḍadasā,
- Aṇuttarovavādiyadarā,
- Paṇhavāyaraṇa,
- Vivāgasutta,
- Ditṭhivāda.
The Digambaras believe that the texts of both the groups are not extant now except some portion of Dīṭṭhivāya, the twelfth Aṅga.
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.
