General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraAruṇagrāma (अरुणग्राम) is the name of an ancient Village, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.5 [The kidnapping of Sītā] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.—Accordingly: “After he had crossed the Tāpī, as he advanced Rāma came to a village, Aruṇagrāma, situated on the border of that country. As Sītā was thirsty, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa went to the house of Kapila, who maintained the agnihotra, and who was bad-tempered. His wife, Suśarmā, gave them each a seat and herself gave them fresh, cool water to drink”.
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.
