General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: The Original Paṇhavāyaraṇa/Praśnavyākaraṇa DiscoveredPasiṇāpasiṇa (पसिणापसिण) (Prakrit; in Sanskrit: Praśnāpraśna) refers to “questions which are concerned with divination only to a certain degree” as taught in the Paṇhavāgaraṇa: (Sanskrit: Praśnavyākaraṇa), according to the Samavāyāṅgasūtra (Sūtra 145).—Accordingly, “What are the contents of the Paṇhāvāgaraṇāiṃ? In the Paṇhāvāgaraṇa, 108 praśnas, 108 apraśnas, 108 praśnāpraśnas [i.e., pasiṇāpasiṇa], excellent supernatural vidyās, and supernatural conversation of snakes and eagles are taught. In the Paṇhāvāgaraṇadasā, those great issues of praśnavidyās are explained, which are composed by the best Jinas, cause direct perception, and have manifold great qualities. [These issues] are hard to comprehend and fathom [but] can awaken ignorant men, and are approved by all omniscient Jinas. [...]”.
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.
