General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraJātirāga (जातिराग) possibly refers to a combination of (18 original) jātis, according to chapter 1.6 [ādīśvara-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, “[...] Sometimes, like Śakra, the King (i.e., Bharata) occupied the court of the amusement-hall to have a concert performed. [...] The singing-men sang many new melodies (i.e., jātirāga) beautiful with the singing of notes, humiliating Hāhā and Hūhū. The dancers danced vigorously, skilled in the lāsya and tāṇḍava, causing surprise by varied gesticulations and postures. [...]”.
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.
