In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Gommaṭasāra (गोम्मटसार) is the name of a Jaina work; considered essential for the history of Indian mathematics.
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.
