In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraTulākoṭi (तुलाकोटि) refers to a kind of anklet, according to chapter 6.3 [ānanda-puruṣapuṇḍarīka-bali-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly:—“[...] Then, accompanied by Ānanda, Viṣṇu made an expedition of conquest, destroying hostile kings, and became an Ardhacakrin. Viṣṇu lifted a great stone, Koṭiśilā, as easily as an anklet (tulākoṭi). When he had passed the sixty-five thousand years of his life, he went to the sixth hell because of his harsh karma. Puṇḍarīka spent two hundred and fifty years as prince, the same number as king, sixty in the expedition of conquest, sixty-four thousand, four hundred and forty as Ardhacakrin”.
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.
