General definition (in Jainism)

Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I

Mṛgāputra (मृगापुत्र) or Mṛgāputrasajjhāya is the name of a work by Siṃhavimala dealing with the lives of Jain teachers.—The Mṛgāputra-sajjhāya (in Gujarati) 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 story of this Mṛgāputra is known since Uttarādhyayanasūtra chapter 19. A prince brought up in comfort once saw a monk and remembered his previous birth when he was suffering in the hells. As a consequence he asked his parents to take to religious life. They refused but his resolve was so strong that they had to give in. He lived as a perfect monk and was liberated.

context information

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.
