In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Pradeśabandha (प्रदेशबन्ध) is another name for Pradeśa and refers to the “quantity of space-points” and represents one of the four kinds of bondage (bandha) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra chapter 8.—Accordingly, “what is meant by space-points of the bondage (pradeśabandha)? The quantity of kārmaṇa particles which get bonded with the soul is called space-points of bondage”.
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.
