General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsParśvarāja (पर्श्वराज) is the name of an ancient king, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Indeed, previously there was King Pārśva (parśvarājaḥ), Śrī Toḍara was the sun for the lotus of his family, Śrī Ṛṣidāsa Sāha, may he live always, was the intense sun [rising from behind] the eastern mountain of his family”.
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.
