In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsKāritva (कारित्व) refers to “having performed (different roles)”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “A god becomes [filled] with lamenting, a dog ascends to heaven, a Brāhman might become discernible in substance [as a dog] or an insect or even a low outcaste [com.—In this regard, however, because of karma (karmaṇaḥ) there is not (na asti) the best (prādhānyaṃ) of re-birth (jāteḥ)—such is the meaning of the verse. Hence he speaks about the performance of different roles (nānāveśakāritvam) like an actor (naṭavan) for the living soul (jīvasya)”.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
