General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraAtivīrya (अतिवीर्य) is the name of an ancient king from Nandyāvartapura, 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: as a messenger said to king Mahīdhara: “The king of Nandyāvartapura, Ativīrya, an ocean of strength, summons you for assistance in a quarrel with Bharata that has arisen. Many kings have come in Dāśarathi’s army. Therefore, you, very powerful, are summoned by Ativīrya”.
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.
