In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Jaina YogaPalla峁卥a (啶げ啷嵿げ啶權啶�) in Prakrit or 笔补濒测补峁卥补 in Sanskrit refers to the beetroot (Beta maritima Linn.). This plant is classifed as 补苍补苍迟补-办腻测补, or 鈥減lants that are inhabited by an infinite number of living organisms鈥�, and therefore are abhak峁a (forbidden to consume) according to both Nemicandra (in his Pravacana-s膩roddh膩ra v245-246) and Hemacandra (in his Yoga艣膩stra 3.44-46). Those plants which are classified as 补苍补苍迟补-办腻测补s (e.g., 辫补濒濒补峁卥补) seem to be chosen because of certain morphological peculiarities such as the possession of bulbs or rhizomes orthe habit of periodically shedding their leaves; and in general theyare characterized by possibilities of vegetative reproduction.
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.
