In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsTrayātmaka (त्रयात्मक) refers to “consisting of three parts”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “That [cosmos] is not at all produced by anyone, not at all sustained by anyone, so also not destroyed by anyone. Nevertheless, that exists by itself without support in the atmosphere. [...] It is the shape of a cane stool in the lower region, like a cymbal in the middle and it is like a drum on the top. Thus, that consists of three parts (trayātmaka)”.
Synonyms: Ākāratraya.
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.
