In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IMahākṣapaṇaka (महाक्स्̣अपन्̣अक) is the proposed author of the Anekadhvanimañjarī (dealing with Lexicography), 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.—When an author’s name is mentioned, which is not the case here, this homonymic lexicon, usually called Anekārthadhavanimañjarī (with variant forms) is ascribed to Mahākṣapaṇaka, who hailed from Kashmir (see Vogel).
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
