General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection INemacarita (नेमचरित) is the name of a work by Ṛṣi Jayamalla (Jemal) dealing with Jain universal history such as the Jinas and related figures.—The Nemacarita (in Rajasthani) 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 Nemacarita is a narrative poem composed in VS 1874 (1817 CE) by Ṛṣi Jayamalla ( Jemal, Jaimal), founder of the jayamallagaccha, is much shorter in this manuscript than in the printed edition and there are numerous differences in the parts available in both witnesses. Several portions of sentences are written twice, because they were sung twice. Long ā and long ī are hardly distinguished in the manuscript, which seems rather faulty (inversions of letters, some noticed by the scribe or another hand, some left unchanged).
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.
