General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraPraticandra (प्रतिचन्द्र) is the son of King Śaśimaṇḍala from Saṅgītāpura, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.7 [The killing of Rāvaṇa] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.—Accordingly, Praticandra said to Bhāmaṇḍala: “[...] I am the son, Praticandra, of King Śaśimaṇḍala, lord of Saṅgītāpura, by his wife Suprabhā. For amusement one day I set out in the air with my wife and was seen by the Vidyādhara, Sahasravijaya. Then he fought me for a long time from hostility arising from my marriage and I was made to fall to the ground by the spear Caṇḍarava which struck me. [...].”.
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.
