In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: Sacred Texts: Uttaradhyayana Sutra

Śaurika (शौरिक) or Śaurikapura is the name of an ancient city possibly identified with Śauryapura, according to the Uttarādhyayana-sūtra chapter 22 (“Rathanemi”).—Note: According to the Brahmanical account Vasudeva lived in Mathurā. The name given to the town by the Jainas is apparently derived from Śauri, an epithet of Kṛṣṇa, whose grandfather was Śūra. Soriyapura may be Śaurika-pura or Śauryapura. The latter rendering adopted by our commentators is based on a wrong etymology.

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.
