Գܰ첹 (अनुकम्पा, “compassion�) refers to “compassion towards living beings (ūٲ) in general� and is one of the causes leading to the influx (Բ) of karmas extending pleasant feelings (屹岹īⲹ).

Գܰ첹 is a Sanskrit technical term defined in the Tattvārthasūtra (ancient authorative Jain scripture) from the 2nd century, which contains aphorisms dealing with philosophy and the nature of reality.

: archive.org: Jaina Yoga

Գܰ첹 (अनुकम्पा, “compassion�) refers to an aspect of samyaktva (right belief) classified under the ṅg and ṇa heading, according to various Jain authors (e.g., Cāmuṇḍarāya, Amitagati and Vasunandin). Hemacandra, in his 12th century Yogaśāstra verse 2.15, defines Գܰ첹 as the desire to eliminate suffering: in this compassion for those in misery no partiality may be shown, for even a tiger will manifest affection for its own offspring. In its material aspect this virtue takes the form of practical steps to remedy suffering where one has the power and in its non-material aspect it expresses itself in tenderness of heart. It is, as Āśādhara stresses, the root of the whole sacred doctrine (Sāgāra-dharmāmṛta verse 1.4).

Anukampa (अनुकम्�, “compassion�) refers to one of the five Lakṣaṇas (“characteristics�), according to chapter 1.1 [īś-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.—Accordingly, “[... Vajranābha acquired strong Tirthakṛt-body-making and family-karma by the twenty ٳԲ첹 as follows:—[...] The ninth [ٳԲ첹] is right-belief, free from the faults of doubt, etc., adorned with the qualities of firmness, etc., characterized by tranquillity, etc. [viz., Գܰ첹貹-ṣaṇa] [...]�.

Note: The characteristics (ṣaṇa) are: tranquillity (ś); desire for emancipation (ṃv𲵲); disgust with the world (nirveda); compassion (anukampa); faith in the principles of truth (پⲹ).�(cf. Yogaśāstra 2.15.)

Anukampa (“compassion�) as one of the five characteristics of Saṃyagdarśana (“right-belief�), is also mentioned in chapter 1.3 in Ṛṣabha’s sermon:�

“[... ǰṣa is attained by those who practice unceasingly the brilliant triad of knowledge, faith, and conduct. Attachment to the principles told by the scriptures is called ‘right-belief� (ṃyśԲ or ṃy岹śԲ), and is produced by intuition or instruction of a Guru. [...] Right-belief is marked by five characteristics: equanimity, desire for emancipation, disgust with existence, compassion, belief in principles of truth. Tenderness of heart of the one seeing the misery of all creatures, those with one sense, etc., mired in the ocean of existence, pain at their pain, and activity as much as possible for the sake of aiding them, that is called compassion (Գܰ첹)�.
