General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsBhāṭi (भाटि) [=bhāṭya?] refers to a “cane stool” [?], according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “That [cosmos] is not at all produced by anyone, not at all sustained by anyone, so also not destroyed by anyone. Nevertheless, that exists by itself without support in the atmosphere. [...] It is the shape of a cane stool [com.—bhāṭyakāra—“the shape of a cane stool’] in the lower region, like a cymbal in the middle and it is like a drum on the top. Thus, that consists of three parts”.
Synonyms: Vetrāsana.

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.
