General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Atma Dharma: Principles of JainismThose (qualities) which do not exist in all types of substances but are found only in its own substance are called specific attributes.
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.
