General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 8: Bondage of karmasDvīndriya (द्वीन्द्रिय) refers to “two sensed living beings” and represents one of the five types of Jāti (class) which represents one of the various kinds of Nāma, or “physique-making (karmas)”, which in turn represents one of the eight types of Prakṛti-bandha (species bondage): one of the four kinds of bondage (bandha) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra chapter 8. What is meant by two-sensed (dvīndriya) class (jāti) body making (nāma) karma? The karmas rise of which cause birth as two sensed living being is called two- sensed-class- body making karma.
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsDvīndriya (द्वीन्द्रिय) refers to “two-sensed beings”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Also all connections are obtained by all those possessing a body who have roamed about for time without a beginning in the wombs of mobile [com.—having two senses, etc. (dvīndriyādayaḥ)] and immobile beings”.
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.
