General definition (in Jainism)
Pāriṇāmika (पारिणामिक, “inherent-nature”) refers to one of the five dispositions (thought-activities) of the soul, according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 2.1. What is the meaning of disposition due to the inherent-nature (pāriṇāmika) or capacity of the soul? These are the dispositions of the soul which are independent of the karmas. Alternatively these are the dispositions of the soul which do not have any bearing to the subsidence or destruction or subsidence-cum-destruction of karmas. Or one can express the nature of the soul to be its disposition due to its inherent nature.
How many types of dispositions (bhāva) due to the inherent nature of the soul (pāriṇāmika) are there? There are three types of dispositions due to inherent nature of the soul namely; principle of life or consciousness (jīvatva), capacity/ potency for salvation (bhavyatva) and incapacity for salvation (abhavyatva).
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.
