In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: Google Books: Jaina Iconography颁补颈迟测补惫峁沰峁 (啶氞啶む啶さ啷冟啷嵿し).鈥擳he Mah膩bh膩rata refers to holy trees (肠补颈迟测补-惫峁沰峁) in villages and towns (6.3.37); these trees should not be injured as they are the abodes of gods, 测补办峁蝉, demonic spirits, and so on (12.69.39). The epics and other texts often mention gandharvas and apsaras together with the 测补办峁蝉 and 测补办峁峁嚹玸 as subjects of Kubera, the god of riches. In Vedic texts the gandharvas and apsaras are said to reside in different varieties of fig trees, where their cymbals and harps resound.
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, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
