General definition (in Jainism)
Paryuṣaṇāṣṭāhnika (पर्युषणाष्टाह्निक) or Paryuṣaṇāṣṭāhnikavyākhyāna refers to a didactic work belonging to the fifteenth century [no further specification] and quotes the Rāuhiṇeya episode almost in Hemacandra’s words.
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.
