General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IKanakakīrti (कनककीर्ति) is the author of the Draupadīcopaī (dealing with the lives of Jain female heroes), which 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.—In the final part of the work the author presents his spiritual genealogy extensively (even more in the version available in Jain gurjar Kavio; the present one is slightly shorter). He belongs to the kharataragaccha and goes back far in the history of his lineage, which he expounds with obvious pride: Sudharmasvāmi, Abhayadeva, Jinavallabha, Jinadatta. He then comes nearer to him in time. He was the direct pupil of Jayamandira, himself of Nayamala, himself of the Jinacandrasūri contemporary with Akbar and Jahangir. The work was composed in VS 1693, in Jaisalmer (verse in Jain gurjar Kavio).
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.
