General definition (in Jainism)

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

Sarvākṣa (सर्वाक्ष) refers to “all the senses”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Also when there is duration of life, completeness of all the senses (sarvākṣa-sāmagrī), a good mind [and] tranquillity of mind for embodied souls in the human state, that is unexpected. Then if the mind is devoid of any sense object [and] influenced by restraint and tranquillity by means of virtue still there is no ascertainment of reality”.

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.
