Sarvadehin (सर्वदेहिन्) refers to “all embodied beings”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly: “[...] In this way, all embodied beings (sarvadehin) will be destroyed up to the Great Age. When the end of the merger of Brahmā, Upendra, and Mahendra comes about, the Siddhas born of the Śrīkula will assume the nature of pure consciousness. Most excellent in every respect, (these Siddhas) will not be destroyed when the time comes of universal destruction. [...]”.

Sarvadehin (सर्वदेहिन्) refers to “all sorts of creatures”, according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, [while discussing the treatment of hawks]: “[...] In the rainy season, when the clouds thunder, when the sky is lighted up with the flash of lightning, when the fragrance of the Mālatī flower delights all creatures (sarvadehin), when the frogs croak and the peacocks dance wildly, [...] These birds should be tended in such a way that regaining their vigour they may cast off their old feathers and assume new ones just as snakes assume a new slough. [...]”.

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

Sarvadehin (सर्वदेहिन्) refers to “all embodied souls”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “On account of the difference between what is intentional and unintentional [com.—intentional (sakāmā) is for those who have subdued their senses (yamināṃ), for mendicants (vratināṃ); the other [kind], which is unintentional (akāma), is for all embodied souls (sarvadehinām)], wearing away karma has two varieties which are the cause for cutting off the many chains produced by actions. Just as fruits of a tree ripen of their own accord and from [different] means so in this world [the ripening] of karmas is to be understood as [being] of its own accord in the form of [different] means”.

context information

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.
