General definition (in Jainism)

Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

The body is Foul, as discussed in Bhūdhardās’s composition dealing with the twelve reflections (bhāvanā or anuprekṣā), also found in the Tattvārtha-sūtra.—Accordingly, “[...] [the soul is solitary]—You came here alone you will die alone. The soul has neither friend nor relative. (4) [soul and body are separate]—Your body is not your own—how can you call it yours? You think you see home and wealth but they really belong to another. (5) [the body is foul]—A shawl of flesh covers the body of a scavenger of a beggar. Everyone in the world is the same inside yet we feel no revulsion. (6) [...]”.

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.
