In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraPādagati (पादगति) refers to one of the 32 fighting-postures, according to chapter 2.2 [ajitanātha-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.—(cf. Agnipurāṇa 251.1-4).
Accordingly: “Sagara, after studying the manuals day by day, reported to Lord Ajita, like a minister reporting his duties. [...] He exhibited to the Lord the shooting a doll on a wheel, shooting an invisible object by sound, the shooting at a target in water, the shooting a clay-ball on a wheel with arrows. He showed pādagati, carrying a sword and shield, having entered the shield like the moon a cloud. [...]”.
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.
