In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: Jaina YogaJātikṣatriya (जातिक्षत्रिय) refers to a type of Gṛhastha: the second of the four stages of a layman (āśrama) according to Cāmuṇḍarāya (940–989 A.D.) in his Caritra-sāra. Jāti-kṣatriya refers to brahmins, kṣatriyas, vaiśyas, and śūdras.
Cāmuṇḍarāya, who was a Digambara Jain, has taken over the Hindu concept of the four āśramas, which, following Jinasena, he terms brahmacārin, gṛhastha (e.g., Jāti), vānaprastha, and bhikṣu.
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.
