General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsAniyatatva (अनियतत्व) refers to the “unfixed nature” (of family relations), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “[com.—Next he speaks about the unfixed nature (aniyatatvam) of family (kuṭumbasya) (relations)]—For corporeal [souls] the mother becomes the daughter, the sister, even the wife. The father, moreover, becomes the son and he obtains the paternal home”.
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.
