General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Shodhganga: A cultural study on the jain western Indian illustrated manuscriptsPadmāsarovara (पद्मासरोवर, “lotus pond”).—The tenth of “fourteen dreams” of Triśalā.—In the tenth dream she (Triśalā) sees the lotus lake, the thousand petalled lotuses are opened up with the rising sun. Due to the pollen falling from the petals, the color of water appears yellow and red, full of water-borne creatures such as fish, the vast lake filled with wide varieties of lotuses and bees hovering on them, sounds of swans, cranes, and other kinds of birds, looking at such a lake evokes peace in the mind of the onlookers.
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.
