General definition (in Jainism)

Source: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra

Binduṣeṇa (बिन्दुषेण) and Induṣeṇa are the twin-sons of Abhinanditā and king Śrīṣeṇa of Ratnapura (previous incarnation of Śānti-nātha), according to chapter 5.1 [śāntinātha-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly:—“[...] In the course of time, Queen Abhinanditā, experiencing unbroken sensuous pleasure with her husband, conceived an embryo. She saw in a dream a sun and moon placed in her lap; and her husband said, ‘You will have a distinguished pair of sons’. When the time was completed, Queen Abhinanditā bore twin sons, not inferior to the sun and moon in brilliance. King Śrīṣeṇa named his two sons Induṣeṇa and Binduṣeṇa at a big festival. ”.

context information

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.

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
