General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraPratibuddhi (प्रतिबुद्धि) is the name of an ancient king from Sāketa, according to chapter 6.6 [śrī-mallinātha-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly:—“Now Acala’s jīva fell from Vaijayanta and became King Pratibuddhi in Sāketa in Bharata. His wife, the crest-jewel of the women of all harems, was named Padmāvatī, like Padmā in person in beauty. Now in this city in the northeast in a Nāga-temple there were Nāga-statues that fulfilled requests. One day Queen Padmāvatī asked the king for permission for a procession of them and Pratibuddhi gave her his consent. [...]”.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
