General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsSamānatā (समानता) refers to “equivalence” (of pleasure and pain), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “ [com.—Next he speaks about the equivalence (samānatām) of pleasure and pain (sukhaduḥkhayoḥ)]—Certainly, in this world, in that same house wherein that which is charming is praised in song with joy in the morning, it is lamented with sorrow at midday”.
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.
