General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraCandraraśmi (चन्द्ररश्मि) refers to one of the sons of Vālin, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.2 [Rāvaṇa’s expedition of conquest] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, “[Now Sugrīva gave Śrīprabhā to Daśakaṇṭha, like a water-canal for the tree of former affection which was drying up. Then Sugrīva, his glory brilliant as moonlight, made Vālin’s son, powerful Candraraśmi, heir-apparent. Daśānana, whose command was acknowledged by Sugrīva, married his sister, Śrīprabhā, took her and went to Laṅkā. [...]”.
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.
