In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraPuṣpakaraṇḍaka (पुष्पकरण्डक) is the name of a garden situated in Puṇḍarīkiṇī, according to chapter 4.1 [śreyāṃsanātha-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:—“[...] Viśvabhūti amused himself with the women of his palace in the garden Puṣpakaraṇḍaka, which was the chief of very delightful spots, like Nandana brought to earth. Viśākhanandin, the king’s son, also wished to play there, but the garden was never free from Viśvabhūti. The slave-girls of Viśākhanandin’s mother, who had gone for flowers, saw Viśvabhūti playing there with the women of his household. [...]”.
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.
