In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Kākatālīya (काकतालीय) refers to “unexpected”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Also when there is duration of life, completeness of all the senses, a good mind [and] tranquillity of mind for embodied souls in the human state, that is unexpected (kākatālīya). Then if the mind is devoid of any sense object [and] influenced by restraint and tranquillity by means of virtue still there is no ascertainment of reality”.
Synonyms: Atarkita.
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.
