General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsMithilāpurī (मिथिलापुरी) refers to the “town of Mithilā”, according to the Yogaśāstra vol. 2, p. 859, l. 5.—Accordingly, “Also Nami, knowing the difference between the self and wealth, said to Indra with regard to the burning of the town, in the burning of the town of Mithilā (mithilāpurī) nothing burns me”.
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.
