General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra顿丑峁泃颈诲丑补谤补 (啶о啶むた啶оぐ) is the name of an ancient S膩dhu, according to chapter 5.4 [艣膩ntin膩tha-caritra] of Hemacandra鈥檚 11th century Tri峁峁ａ弓i艣al膩k膩puru峁caritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, as Megharatha related:鈥斺�淸...] At the time for breaking their fasts, they (i.e., R膩jyagupta and 艢a峁卥hik膩) looked at the door and searched for some Muni as a guest. They saw the S膩dhu entering and they both gave him devotedly food, water, etc. One day Muni Sarvagupta came there again in his wandering and they listened to dharma at his side. They, devoted to discernment, adopted mendicancy, the fruit of the wish-granting tree of human birth, before Muni Sarvagupta. [...]鈥�.
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.
