General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection INemicandrasūri (नेमिचन्द्रसूरि) (alias Devendra) is the author of the Sukhabodhā commentary on the Uttarādhyayanasūtra (dealing with the Mūlasūtra section of Jain Canonical 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.—The Sukhabodhā was composed by Devendra alias Nemicandrasūri in Patan in VS 1129 and was introduced by its author as an adaptation of Śāntisūri’s Śiṣyahitā, the first prose commentary on the Uttarādhyayana. Here Devendra’s commentary with its own praśasti is followed by another long praśasti in flowery Sanskrit which provides the following data: Cāritrasiṃhamuni, the disciple of Matibhadragaṇi, from the Kharataragaccha, extracted this Uttarādhyayana commentary (vss. 10ff.).
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.
