General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IPadamāvatī (पदमावती) is the name of a work by Samayasundara dealing with the Āvaśyaka section of Jain Canonical literature.—The Padmāvatī Ārādhanā 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.—Padamāvatī refers to the incipit but is no central figure in this work which clearly appears as an expansion of Samayasundara’s Jīvarāśi Kṣamāpanā (or Padmāvatī Ārādhanā) and a re-appropriation by another author, who could be designated by the words Ratana-amolaka (not found in any popular edition of Samayasundara’s work even in expanded form).
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.
