General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 8: Bondage of karmasPrakṛtibandha (प्रकृतिबन्ध) is another name for Prakṛti (“species”) and refers to one of the four kinds of bondage (bandha) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra chapter 8.—Accordingly, “What is meant by species of bondage (prakṛtibandha)? The innate nature of the bondage is called species of bondage. Knowledge obscuring etc are the eight kinds of species 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.
