In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

Vakṣyamāṇa (वक्ष्यमाण) refers to “(that which is) about to be mentioned”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “O fool, sentient beings, having begun from the womb, are continually led by [their own] action to Yama’s abode by means of uninterrupted journeys. If there is a powerful [man], seen or heard about, who opposes the command of Yama, having honoured him [com.—who is about to be mentioned (vakṣyamāṇam)] you must possess health. [As there is] no such individual, why [make] the effort [for health] in vain?”.

context information

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.
