General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Jainworld: Jain HistoryCūlikāsutta (चूलिकासुत्त) refers to one of the six divisions of the canonical texts of the Svetambaras in Jainism.—The Cūlikāsuttas are two in number:—
- Nandī,
- Anuyogadara.
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.
