In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: JainismCakṣuṣmān (चक्षुष्मान्) (also known as Cakṣuṣmat) is the name of a kulakara (law-giver) according to both Śvetāmbara and Digambara sources. His wife is named Candrakāntā according to Śvetāmbara, but Dhāriṇī according to Digambara. The kulakaras (similair to the manus of the Brahmanical tradition) figure as important characters protecting and guiding humanity towards prosperity during ancient times of distress, whenever the kalpavṛkṣa (wishing tree) failed to provide the proper service.
These law-givers (e.g., Cakṣuṣmān) are listed in various Jain sources, such as the Bhagavatīsūtra and Jambūdvīpaprajñapti in Śvetāmbara, or the Tiloyapaṇṇatti and Ādipurāṇa in the Digambara tradition.
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.
