General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IJīvavicāraprakaraṇa (जीवविचारप्रकरण) is the name of a work by Śāntisūri dealing with the Karma section of Jain Canonical literature.—The Jīvavicāraprakaraṇa (with interlinear Gujarati commentary) is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—Śāntisūri’s Jīvavicāraprakaraṇa is one of the most popular Prakrit works on the subject of living beings, in particular on their taxonomy. It is a fundamental work in the monastic curriculum, has given birth to a wide range of commentaries in Sanskrit and Gujarati and has been published very often.
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.
