General definition (in Jainism)
Source: International Journal of Jaina Studies: Shades of EnlightenmentAparājitapṛcchā, which deals with various Indian architectural forms and religious iconographies, is thought to have been composed (by Bhuvanadeva, 12th century) in Gujarat during the rule of Kumārapāla (r. 1143-75), who, as is well known, was advised by Hemacandra.
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.
