In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection ILohaṭa (लोहट) or Lohati is the author of the “Aṭhārā nātā ko coḍhālyo” (dealing with the Ethics section of Jain Canonical 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 title [Aṭhārā nātā ko coḍhālyo] means “poem on the 18 kinships”. They are at the heart of the story which is in the background.—“The courtezan Kuberasenā, who lived in Mathurā, had twin children, Kuberadatta and Kuberadattā, whom she had to abandon after birth. [...]”.—Nothing seems to be known about the author (Lohaṭa Sāh, Sāh Lohaṭa). for other works in Gujarati on this rather popular theme see Jain gurjar Kavio 7, index of works under aḍhāra nātarāṃ and Sajjhāyādisaṃgraha 1, pp. 25-50.
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.
