In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritraśī (कमलश्री) refers to one of the wifes of Mahābala (son of king Bala from Vītaśoka), according to chapter 6.6 [śī-ٳ-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly:—“[...] A son, named Mahābala, having complete power, indicated by the dream of a lion, was borne to the king [i.e., Bala] by his wife Dhāriṇ�. When he was grown, Mahābala married on one day five hundred princesses, śī and others. [...] A son, indicated by a dream of a lion, Balabhadra, was borne to Mahābala by the chief-queen, śī. After he had grown up in course of time, Mahābala made him his heir-apparent like another form of himself. [...]�.

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.
