General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IRevatīsajjhāya (रेवतीसज्झाय) is the name of a work dealing with the lives of Jain female heroes.—The Revatīsajjhāya (in Gujarati) 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.—Revatī was the lady who offered proper food to Mahāvīra as he was ill after Gosāla’s attack. The earliest account is found in Bhagavatīsūtra XV. The food item was Sanskrit bījapūraka, a kind of citron (here vījorāpāka).
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.
