General definition (in Jainism)
Source: University of Cambridge: JainismSamyakvakaumudī (सम्यक्वकौमुदी) is a collection of eight tales (kathānaka) “in which the merchant Arhaddāsa tells his eight wifes, and they in turn tell him, how they attained to perfection (samyaktva) in religion. At the same time these stories are overheard by a king, who roams about at night with his minister, after the fashion of Harun al Rashid, and by a thief”.—(cf. Winternitz 1933: p. 541)
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.
