General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsVāḍavadīpita (वाडवदीपित) refers to “(being) inflamed by the hell-fire” (of suffering), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Pitiable living beings roam about perpetually in the ocean of life which is a great whirlpool having four states of existence [and] inflamed by the hell-fire of suffering (duḥkha-vāḍavadīpita). Embodied souls, living in immovable and movable bodies, are born [and] die constrained by the chains of their own actions”.
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.
