In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Pratiṣṭhāsāra (प्रतिष्ठासार) is the name of a work written by Vasunandi, who flourished in 536. See Bhandarkar’s Report published by the Jaina Svatantra Bhāṇdāra, Pavapuri.
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.
