General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraAntarodaka (अन्तरोदक) (from Prakrit antarodaga) refers to “island settlements”, as mentioned in chapter 1.4 [ādīśvara-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly:
“Bharata shone like the moon, because of his form giving delight to the eyes; like the sun, because of his brilliance hard to endure; like the ocean whose center is inaccessible changed into human form; like dharma of mankind that had attained lordship over mankind. [...] He was lord of fourteen thousand places where grain is stored (sambādha), and overlord of fifty-six island settlements (antarodaka). [...]”.
Note: These definitions (i.e., antarodaka) are from Kalpasūtra (Kiraṇāvalī commentary) 1. 88, p. 73b. For antarodaka and kurājya see Jambūdvīpaprajñapti 69, p. 277b.
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.
