General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection INasīhat (नसीहत्) refers to a “book of advice”, according to the “Nasīhat savā-sai” (classified as gnomic literature), 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.—As the title indicates, this is a book of advice (nasīhat) on proper behaviour, with an extensive wide use of imperative forms. It seems to be meant for Vaiṣṇavas.
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.
