General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraCakṣurdoṣa (चक्षुर्दोष) or Dṛṣṭidoṣa refers to the “evil eye”, according to chapter 5.3 [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:—“[...] Aparājita’s soul, the Indra of Acyuta, fell from Acyuta and developed in her [i.e., queen Ratnamālā’s] womb, like a pearl in a pearl-oyster. [...] Because the queen had seen a thunderbolt in a dream, while he was in embryo, his father gave him the name Vajrāyudha. He, having an extraordinary body, grew up gradually, protected every day from people’s evil-eye [i.e., dṛṣṭidoṣa] by a blooming garland. He, a traveler across the ocean of all the arts, attained youth alone confusing the heart of Gods, Asuras, men, and women. With the ribbon placed around his wrist, he married a princess, Lakṣmīvatī, like Lakṣmī embodied. [...]”.
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.
