General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsNarakadāyaka (नरकदायक) refers to “that which causes hell” (i.e., ‘action that results in hell’), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Having avoided [their results], those sins, on account of which action that results in hell [com.—narakadāyaka—‘causing hell’] , etc. is done by you, rightly still reach you”.
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.
