General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsSamyaktvamūla (सम्यक्त्वमूल) refers to the “roots of orthodoxy”, according to the Yogaśāstra verse 2.1.—Accordingly, “As far as a householder is concerned, the roots of orthodoxy (samyaktvamūla) are the five minor vows (aṇuvrata), the three virtuous [vows] (guṇavrata), [and] the four educational vows (śikṣāvrata). [These twelve vows progressively bring him closer to the life of a mendicant]”.
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.
