General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I1) Pārśvanāthastavana (पार्श्वनाथस्तवन) is the name of a work by Sādhusundara-vācaka dealing with Pārśva in Jain literature.—The Pārśvanāthastavana (in Sanskrit, with auto-commentary) is 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.—This hymn is called mahāyamaka in the internal colophons.

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.
