General definition (in Jainism)
Source: ISJS: Study Notes (Vol. 1)Paingalam (पैन्गलम्) is the name of a Jaina work; the Prakrit Paingalam and Alaṅkāradappaṇa are closely related with Indian poetics.
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.
