General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: The Original Paṇhavāyaraṇa/Praśnavyākaraṇa DiscoveredJayaprākṛta (जयप्राकृत) is the name of a recension of the Paṇhavāgaraṇa (Sanskrit: Praśnavyākaraṇa): the tenth Anga of the Jain canon which deals with the prophetic explanation of queries regarding divination.—There is yet another source for the root text, at least for a large part of it: Muni Jinavijaya (1958) has published an inferior recension of the Praśnavyākaraṇa with a very brief commentary, under the title Jayaprākṛta. Like the keepers of his manuscript, who labeled it with the name Jayapāhuḍa, he did non even suspect that what he had found had a direct link with the original Praśnavyākaraṇa. As he admitted in his introduction, the text belonged to a distinct genre and every line in the manuscript was corrupt and suspect.He was not even sure about the title. He printed the whole text with Jayapāhuḍa at the top of each page but chose the title Jayapāyaḍa on the cover, ignoring the name Praśnavyākaraṇa found in the final colophon.
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.
