General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraSiṃhaniṣadyā (सिंहनिषद्या) is the name of a temple (stūpa) dedicated to Ṛṣabha, according to chapter 1.6 [ādīśvara-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, “[...] near the Master’s cremation-ground Bharata had the carpenter-jewel erect a temple of jeweled slabs, a yojana square, three gavyūtis high, named Siṃhaniṣadyā, like a foot-print of the house of nirvāṇa. It had four doors made of crystal, beautiful as those of the Master’s samavasaraṇa. On both sides of each door were sixteen jeweled sandal-wood pitchers, like treasuries of the Śrīs of mokṣa. [...]”.
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.
