In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IDraupadīcopaī (द्रौपदीचोपई) is the name of a work by Kanakakīrti dealing with the lives of Jain female heroes.—The Draupadīcopaī 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.—The story (of the Draupadīcopaī ) is explicitly taken from the sixth aṅga of the Śvetāmbara canon, the Jñātādharmakathāṅga, chapter 16 (see vs. 6 above). The beginning of the story itself is hardly legible because of the bad condition of the first page. It starts with a king Jitaśatru, his queen Dhāriṇī and the clever minister Abhayakumāra.
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.
