General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsNaraiśvarya (नरैश्वर्य) refers to “being a mighty lord over men”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Also, consider that the state of being a mighty lord over gods, snakes and men (naraiśvarya—suroraganaraiśvaryaṃ), which is like a rainbow, immediately becomes annihilated by itself”.
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.
