In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection ISaṃtoṣacanda (संतोषचन्द) possibly refers to the copyist of “Añjanā-māhāsatī ro rāsa” (dealing with the lives of Jain female heroes), 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.—The colophon mentions Saṃtoṣacanda, pupil of Cothamala, as copyist, and no date. The second colophon, probably an addition, states that the manuscript was copied by Ṛṣi Pratāpamala while he stayed at Jodhpur.
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.
