General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection ICāritrasiṃha (चारित्रसिंह) (the disciple of Matibhadragaṇi) extracted and copied a commentary on the Uttarādhyayanasūtra (dealing with the Mūlasūtra section of Jain Canonical literature), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—(Cf. Devendra’s Sukhabodhā commentary on the Uttarādhyayanasūtra) [...] Here Devendra’s commentary with its own praśasti is followed by another long praśasti in flowery Sanskrit which provides the following data: Cāritrasiṃha-muni, the disciple of Matibhadragaṇi, from the Kharataragaccha, extracted this Uttarādhyayana commentary (vss. 10ff.). The extent of his task is unclear, as a comparison of the commentary in the ms. and in the published editions of Devendra’s show no difference between them.—(Cf. Jain gurjar Kavio 2, pp. 158-159 and Vinayasagar, KhG Sahitya Kosa).
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.
