General definition (in Jainism)

: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I

Drāṣa (द्रा�) refers to “grape-juice� and represents one of 21 kinds of liquids (which the Jain mendicant should consider before rejecting or accepting them), according to the �Sajjhāya ekavīsa pāṇ� nī� (dealing with the Monastic Discipline section of Jain Canonical literature) included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi� library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—This topic is explained with reference to the first ṅg (i.e. Ācārāṅgasūtra). This matter is distributed over the end of section 7 and the beginning of section 8 of the Piṇḍesaṇ� chapter. [...] The technical terms [e.g., ṣa] used here are either borrowed from the Prakrit or rendered into the vernacular equivalents.—Note: Drāṣa is known in Prakrit as Muddiyā and in Sanskrit as Drākṣa.

General definition book cover
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, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
