General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraAntaraṅgāri (अन्तरङ्गारि) refers to the “internal enemies”, according to the first book (ādīśvara-caritra) [chapter 1] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism. Accordingly, “[...] May the splendor of the Lord Padmaprabha’s body, red as if from a burst of anger in crushing internal enemies [viz., ], promote your emancipation.”.
Note: Antaraṅgāri (“internal enemies”) are the four passions (kaṣāya): anger (krodha), conceit (māna), deceit (māyā), greed (lobha); love (raga), and hate (dveṣa). They are subdivisions of the fourth category, Pāpa. (cf. Yogaśāstra p. 56a.)
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.
