General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsTrasatva (त्रसत्व) refers to the “state of mobile beings”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Where is the escape from the bottom of the pit of hell for the living soul who is continually afflicted by the enemy of infinite evil? If he emerges from that, the sentient being is born among the immobile beings or by some action reaches the state of mobile beings (trasatva)”.
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.
