General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection ISiddhidaṇḍikā (सिद्धिदण्डिका) refers to the Siddhidaṇḍikāstava by Devendrasūri (dealing with the Cosmology of Jain Canonical literature), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—This short and rather technical work deals with calculations regarding those who have been liberated more than with liberation itself.
There are eight kinds of siddhidaṇḍikās explained in the commentary and clearly marked as such:
1. ity anulomasiddhidaṃḍikā;
2. iti pratilomasiddhidaṃḍikā;
3. iti samasaṃkhyā siddhidaṃḍikā;
4. ity ekottarasiddhidaṃḍikā;
5. dviuttarasiddhidaṃḍikā;
6. tryuttarasiddhidaṃḍikā;
7. iti prathamā viṣamotarasiddhidaṃḍikā;
8. iti divitīyā viṣamottarasiddhidaṃḍikā;
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.
