General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection ILokanāladvātriṃśikā (लोकनालद्वात्रिंशिका) is the name of a work by Dharmaghoṣasūri dealing with the Cosmology of Jain Canonical literature.—The Lokanāladvātriṃśikā (with Gujarati Bālābodha by Sahajaratna) 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.—(Cf. Lokanālī)—The subject of the Lokanāladvātriṃśikā is to give a general definition of the world, and to concentrate on the dimensions of the different parts, especially the hells and the heavens, with reference to the various technical units known as sūcī-rajju, pratara-rajju and ghana-rajju (see tables in W. Kirfel, Die Kosmographie der Inder, pp. 210-212) [...]. The verses are mostly lists of numbers, explained in the commentary. The same topic is dealt with in the Lokaprakāśa 12.3ff., the verses of which are often a Sanskritization of the present work. the Lokanālistava is quoted or referred to on this occasion (after 12.14 and after 12.104). [...] The aim of the author, mentioned in the first and the last verses, is to enable the reader to have an exact knowledge about the world. This right knoweldge should work as a basis in order to limit one’s own wandering in the saṃsāra.
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.
