General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsSaṃsārajāta (संसारजात) refers to “being produced by the cycle of rebirth”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Whatever difficulties arise from life [com.—which are produced by the cycle of rebirth (saṃsārajātāni)], they are each endured here by the embodied soul, only having taken hold of the body powerfully. The body of men also defiles auspicious things [such as] camphor, saffron, aloe wood, musk, sandalwood because of [its] contact [with them]”.
Synonyms: Bhavodbhava.
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.
