In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsKṣālita (क्षालित) refers to “washing” (a lump of earth), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “And one washes a lump of earth [com.—Even if (yady api) a lump of earth (mṛtpiṇḍaḥ) is washed (kṣālitaḥ) with water (jalena) a hundred times (śatavāram) yet (tathāpi) it (sa) surely (api) does not (na) become cleansed (śudhyati) but (tu)] with water again and again, even a hundred times, then the water obtains dirt [and] it may share dirtiness with the body. If, by chance, this body is cleaned by the waters of the ocean then, being cleaned, in an instant it contaminates even those [waters] also”.
Synonyms: Snātī.
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.
