General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsGarodgāra (गरोद्गार) refers to the “discharge of the poison (of non-restraint)”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “One who is restrained who is intent on stopping the influx of karma fearlessly drives away the discharge of the poison of non-restraint (asaṃyama-garodgāra) with the nectar waters of true restraint. A bad birth is hard to be accomplished even in a dream for him whose judgment, which is extremely skilful at examination like a door-keeper, shines in the mind”.
Synonyms: Viṣodgāra.
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.
