General definition (in Jainism)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Mritavat in Jainism glossary
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

ṛt (मृतवत्) refers to a “corpse�, according to the Yaśastilaka Campū verse 2.123-214.—Accordingly, “Never imagine that thou art composed of the body, because the body is utterly different from thee. Thou art all consciousness, an abode of virtue and bliss; whereas the body, because it is inert, is an unconscious mass (ٲī-ⲹjaḍatayā gatadhīnikāya�). The body exists and grows so long as thou art in existence. When thou art dead, it disappears in the form of earth, air and the like. Composed of the elements it is devoid of feelings such as joy, like a corpse (ṛt). Hence the blissful self is surely different from the body.

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.
