General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IĀvaśyakaniryukti (आवश्यकनिर्युक्ति) is the name of a work dealing with the Āvaśyaka section of Jain Canonical literature.—Verse 139 of the Āvaśyakaniryukti is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—This is a list of 14 catchwords giving analogies for good pupils, who are worth being taught, and bad pupils, who either do not listen, do not retain the teaching or do not have a proper behaviour and who, therefore, are not worth being taught. The verse is found in the Āvaśyakaniryukti 139 = Nandīsūtra 44 or Bṛhatkalpabhāṣya 334. See Balbir, Āvaśyaka Studien, pp. 399-439. The corresponding examples are expanded in the relevant commentaries.
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.
