General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsTapyamāna (तप्यमान) refers to “being heated ”(by the fire of asceticism), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Also, as gold with impurities becomes pure through fire, in like manner this living soul, being heated (tapyamāna) by the fire of asceticism, [becomes pure]. Astonishingly , external [and] internal asceticism is undergone by honourable mendicants who are wise [and] alarmed by the continuous series of births [in the cycle of rebirth]”.
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.
