General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IPuṇyaratnamuni (पुण्यरत्नमुनि) or Puṇyaratna is the author of the Neminātharāsa (dealing with Jain universal history such as the Jinas and related figures), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—According to the Koba database the author, Puṇyaratna Muni, belonged to the rājagaccha and was the pupil of Nandivardhanasūri. But the Udine manuscript does not contain this information. The pupil took over the same topic as his teacher, who had already composed a Yādavarāsa in VS 1588.
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.
