In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: HereNow4u: Lord Śrī MahāvīraKayaṅgalā (कयङ्गला) or Kayaṃgalā is the name of a village visited by Mahāvīra during his fifth year of spiritual-exertion.—After completing the monsoon stay at Pṛṣṭhacampā, the Lord arrived at Kayaṅgalā. There, at a temple of a heretic named ‘Daridrathera’, he stood meditating in kāyotsarga posture. Leaving Kayaṅgalā, he arrived at Sāvatthī, and stood in meditation outside the city.
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.

Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
