In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: Jaina YogaNindya (निन्द्य) or Garhita refers to “reprehensible speech” represents a division of untruth (asatya) according to Amitagati’s classification in his 11th-century Śrāvakācāra verses (6.49-54).Nindya, in Hemacandra’s terminology garhita, is again subdivided into:
- apriya (speech that is tactlessly hurtful),
- garhya (speech that is insulting),
- sāvadya (speech in which encouragement to harmful actions is given).
Amitagati’s classification of these untruths (e.g., nindya) is given not only by the Digambaras Amitagati and Amṛtacandra but also in the Yoga-śāstra where the treatment goes back directly to Siddhasena’s commentary on the Tattvārtha-sūtra (verse 7.9) and indeed to the Śvetāmbara Bhāṣya.
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsNindya (निन्द्य) refers to “reprehensible”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “This body is filthy in nature, reprehensible (nindya), filled with much that is impure, produced from semen and other seeds, [and] is the abode of contempt. Where is the body, which is filled with blood, flesh and fat, has a skeleton of slender bones, is bound with tendons and is of bad odour, praised?”.
Synonyms: Nindanīya.
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.
