General definition (in Jainism)
Source: HereNow4u: Lord Śrī MahāvīraKālakumāra (कालकुमार).—At the end of the first day general of Kūṇika’s army Kālakumāra, moved his elephant towards king Ceṭaka and invited him for a duel. With a smile of acceptance, Ceṭaka asked his elephant rider to take the elephant towards Kālakumāra. There was a vast difference in the age of the two. Respecting his maternal grandfather Kālakumāra said “Ārya, you attack first”. Ceṭaka said “No, you must attack first; it is Ceṭaka's resolve not to attack a person who has not attacked him first”.
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.
