General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraHarimati (हरिमति) is the name of an ancient king from Gajapura, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.8 [The abandonment of Sītā] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.—Accordingly, as Muni Deśabhūṣaṇa narrated to Rāma: “[...] Candrodaya and Sūrodaya, sons of kings Prahlādana and Suprabha, wandered through existence for a long time. Candrodaya became the son, named Kulaṅkara, of King Harimati in Gajapura by his wife Candralekhā. [...] Kulaṅkara became king and, as he was going to the ascetics’ hermitage, was addressed by the monk Abhinandana who was clairvoyant. [...]”.
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.
