General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection ISīmandharasvāmī (सीमन्धरस्वामी) is another name for Śrīmandara or Sīmandhara, according to the Śrīmandarastavana by Ṛṣi Rāmakṛṣṇa (dealing with various Jinas in Jain 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.—Śrīmaṃdara is a common alternative form for the standard Sīmandhara. This is a hymn of praise to Sīmandharasvāmī, probably the most famous among the twenty living (viharamāna) Tīrthaṃkaras, who resides in the Mahāvidehakṣetra and is widely worshipped. The poem gives biographical information about him: he lived in the town called Puṇḍarīka. His mother was Queen Satyakī. he married Rukamaṇī before taking initiation. His height was 50 dhanuṣ and his life-duration 84 00 000 pūrvas.
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.
