In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Dṛśyamāna (दृश्यमान) refers to “considering”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Also, consider (dṛśyamāna) that the state of being a mighty lord over gods, snakes and men, which is like a rainbow, immediately becomes annihilated by itself”.
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.
