General definition (in Jainism)
Source: University of Cambridge: JainismTattvārthādhigamasūtra (तत्त्वार्थाधिगमसूत्र) or simply Tattvārthādhigama by Umāsvāti is the most fundamental extra-canonical Jaina treatise. It is the earliest religious scripture recognised as authoritative by both the Śvetāmbara and the Digambara sects (although in two slightly divergent recensions).
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.
