General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraCelotkṣepa (चेलोत्क्षेप) refers to a “rain of clothes” according to the Ardha-Māgadhī Koṣa.—Hemacandra makes it plain in other passages that he does not mean a shower of clothes, but a waving of garments. [...] One MS has the reading celaknopa [celaknopam], which has some appeal.
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.
