General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: Jaina YogaTrasaghāta (त्रसघात) refers to “killing living creatures that move” and represents one of the five classifications of bhoga (objects of enjoyment) according to Cāmuṇḍarāya in his Caritrasāra p. 13. It is related with the bhogopabhoga-vrata ( vow of limitations of objects of daily use). Elaboration of the trasa-ghāta aspect of bhoga: “always to be avoided are things which involve the killing of living creatures that move (trasa-ghāta). Under this head come honey and meat.
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.
