General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsSiṃhaśabda (सिंहशब्द) refers to the “roaring of a lion”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “When Yama is an opponent of embodied souls, all elephants, horses, men, and soldiers and the powers of mantras and medicines become useless. While any person does not hear the merciless roaring of Yama’s lion [com.—yama-siṃhaśabda—‘the sound of the lion of Yama’] , in that time he leaps about having pleasure in only [his own] power”.
Synonyms: Harigarjita.
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.
