General definition (in Jainism)

: archive.org: Jaina Yoga

Chaviccheda (啶涏さ啶苦�氞�嵿�涏�囙う) refers to one of the transgressions (补迟颈肠腻谤补) of the Ahi峁僺膩-vrata (vow of non-violence).鈥擨n Jaina jurisprudence chavi-ccheda is one of the seven forms of 诲补峁囜笉补-苍墨迟墨; it covers any mutilation inflicted in punishment of a crime (see Arhan-n墨ti, verse 2.2). For Haribhadra (in his commentary on the 膧va艣yaka-s奴tra) chavi-ccheda implies 鈥渃uttingthe body with swords and other sharp instruments鈥�.

The word chavi is in fact variously interpreted as 鈥渂ody鈥� or 鈥渟kin鈥�. The Tattv膩rtha-bh膩峁�ya introduces (verse 7.20) here the idea of purposeless cutting of the bark of trees and Siddhasena Ga峁噄n extends this to the wounding of 补辫-办腻测补蝉 by cutting ice or of 辫峁泃丑惫墨-办腻测补蝉 by disturbing the ground, offences which later are usually found under the 补苍补谤迟丑补-诲补峁囜笉补-惫谤补迟补. But, as he notes, this 补迟颈肠腻谤补 applies rather to branding and ear-piercing or to methods of punishment used to intimidate criminals such as cutting off the nose and ears, or fingers and thumbs. Such chavi-ccheda is of course merciless and devoid of consideration (苍颈谤补辫别办峁�a) but it ceases to be an 补迟颈肠腻谤补 when it is done with due care (蝉腻辫别办峁�a), for example, in lancing a boil.

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, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
