General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Shodhganga: A cultural study on the jain western Indian illustrated manuscriptsJahāngīr appears to have had some interest in Jainism when he was a prince. He thus granted the farmān of 1610 A.D, the subject of Śālivāhana’s illustration, prohibiting animal slaughter during paryuṣaṇā throughout the empire and Jaina sources also testify his extreme friendliness towards them.
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.
