In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IUpadhānavidhi (उपधानविधि) is the name of a work dealing with the Āvaśyaka section of Jain Canonical literature.—The Upadhānavidhi (in Sanskrit, Prakrit and Gujarati) is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—Like several ritual works connected with the āvaśyaka circle, the Upadhānavidhi uses three languages: Prakrit for the quotation of units coming from the sūtras, Sanskrit as the meta-language of the connected text and Gujarati for the actual procedure. The upadhāna ritual involves a practitioner and his guru. The lay person renounces a number of things in order to become temporarily like a monk. Another hand has written various ritual formulas to be uttered during the ritual in some of the margins.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
