In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsBhoktavya (भोक्तव्य) refers to “experienced” (i.e., ‘that which is to be experienced’), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “[com.—Next he speaks about the very same [thing]: when pleasure or pain (sukhadukhayoḥ) is to be experienced (bhoktavye) there is not any companion (sakhā) for living beings (prāṇiṇām)]—For this embodied soul there is not another companion in union and in separation, in birth or in death and at the time of pleasure and pain. This [one] performs action for wealth, a son, a wife, etc. [and] he experiences alone that which is the result of that [action] in the levels of the Śvabhra [hell], etc.”.

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.
