General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsViśeṣaṇatraya (विशेषणत्रय) [=triviśeṣaṇa?] refers to the “trio of attributes”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “There is nothing like the doctrine which is productive of all prosperity, the root of the tree of bliss, beneficial, venerable and grants liberation.—[com.—This trio of attributes (viśeṣaṇatrayaṃ) is easily understood]”.
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.
