General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IKhināvāṛī (खिनावाऋई) is the name of an ancient village near Jaitaran (district Pali, Rajasthan), according to the “Khimarisi-Balibhadra-Yaśobhadrasūri-carita” (dealing with individual religious teachers in Jain literature), 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.—The present manuscript is a copy of it which was made by one of Tessitori’s copyists, Bālā Rāma (see colophon and introduction) at Khināvāṛī (Kṣimānaṃdī of the colophon is a Sanskritisation), a village near Jaitaran, district Pali, Rajasthan. The name is written as Khīvānaḍī in Vijayadharmasūri’s letter to Tessitori dated 4.6. (Vīra saṃvat 24)41 (1914 CE). The monk and the scholar met there. Despite the variety of spellings the place meant is probably one.
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.
