General definition (in Jainism)
Source: HereNow4u: Lord Śrī MahāvīraPoḍhāla (पोढाल) is the name of a garden visited by Mahāvīra during his eleventh year of spiritual-exertion.—From Sānulaṭṭhiya the Lord proceeded to Dṛḍhabhūmi. Outside the city, in the caitya named Polāsa, was a garden named ‘Poḍhāla’. There, observing a fast, the Lord bent his body slightly and fixing his gaze on a gross object, he became meditative. The Lord, completing his meditation, left for Bālukā.
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.
