In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Sarvaghāti (सर्वघाति).—What is meant by all-destructive (sarvaghāti)? The karmas which totally destroy or cover the inherent nature of right belief and knowledge of the soul are called all-destructive.
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.
