General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraKambudvīpa (कम्बुद्वीप) is the name of an ancient kingdom, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.5 [The kidnapping of Sītā] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.—Accordingly, “Rāma fearlessly entered the extraordinary Daṇḍakāraṇya and made his dwelling in a cave-house in a large mountain in it and remained as comfortable as in his own house. [...] Then Ratnajaṭin, lord of the Vidyādharas of Kambudvīpa, and two gods came there and, delighted, gave Rāma a chariot with horses. [...]”.
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.
