In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraGhātikarma (घातिकर्म) refers to “destructive karmas”, according to chapter 2.2 [ajitanātha-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly: “[...] At the last moment of the twelfth guṇasthāna the Lord reached the second pure meditation, “ekatvaśruta”. By that meditation the Lord of the World reduced his mind containing the sense-objects of the three worlds, like redlining poison of a snake-bite which had penetrated the whole body like a charm. Just as a fire burns up and goes out when most of the fuel has been taken away and a little left, in the same way his mind became extinct. Then the Jina’s fire of meditation blazing up, the destructive karmas (i.e., ghātikarma) melted away completely like snow”.
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.
