General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraAṅkimṛdaṅga (अङ्किमृदङ्ग) or simply Aṅki is one of three kinds of mṛdaṅgas—aṅki, āliṅgī, and ūrdhvaka.—(cf. Abhidhānacintāmaṇi 2.207 and commetary).—(Cf. also Nāṭyaśāstra XXXIII mentioning the drum Āṅkika).
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.
