General definition (in Jainism)
Sauhṛda (सौहृद) refers to “friendship”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Those who were born as enemies [in a life] previously indeed become your friends whose friendship is fixed (baddha-sauhṛda) in this life on account of the power of fate”.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being.
