In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsSvargaśrī (स्वर्गश्री) refers to the “prosperity of heaven”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “This very same [one], whose mind is delighted with the prosperity of heaven (svargaśrī-rañjitā), alone enjoys the divine nectar of pleasure in heaven continuously produced by desire. For this embodied soul there is not another companion in union and in separation, in birth or in death and at the time of pleasure and pain”.
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.

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
