In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: Jaina YogaTīrthaṅkarādatta (तीर्थङ्करादत्त) refers to “what is not granted by the Tīrthaṅkara”, and represents one of the fourfold classification of adatta (not-given), according to Devagupta’s Nava-pada-prakaraṇa (with Laghu-vṛtti). Example of jīvādatta: “food specially cooked by the householder for the monks (ādhā-karman) which, is illicit.”.
The classification of adatta is related to the asteya-vrata (vow of not stealing). The Śvetāmbara writers generally preface any discussion of stealing (steya or caurya or more generally adattādana, “the taking of what has not been given”) by fourfold classification of adatta (eg., tīrthaṅkara-adatta).
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.
