General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraPṛthvīsenā (पृथ्वीसेना) is the daughter of Pṛthvī and king Śaṅkha from Svarṇadruma, according to chapter 5.4 [śāntinātha-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, as Muni Sāgaracandra narrated to Candratilaka and Sūryatilaka:—“[...] King Śaṅkha had a daughter by Queen Pṛthvī, named Pṛthvīsenā, heralded by the sight of a wreath of flowers placed on (the queen’s) lap in a dream. She gradually attained youth and acquired the collection of arts which nourish a high degree of beauty and distinguished cleverness. Thinking, ‘He is a suitable bridegroom for her’, King Śaṅkha gave the maiden to Abhayaghoṣa. The best of kings dallied with his bride Pṛthvīsenā, like Ramāpati with Ramā. [...]”.
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.
