General definition (in Jainism)
Source: HereNow4u: Lord Śrī MahāvīraKṣīrataru (क्षीरतरु) is the name of a tree mentioned in a conversation between Lord Mahāvīra and king Puṇyapāla.—Kṣīrataru (Pāpala tree) in a dream indicates that in future fraudulent namesake monks will surround votaries who will donate with a wicked feeling. These people will consider monks of pure conduct as lax and the fox-like lax ones as ones of pure conduct.
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.
