In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: The Jaina Iconographyʰ屹ī (प्रजावती) is the mother of Ѳٳ: the nineteenth of twenty-four Tīrthaṃkaras or Jinas, commonly depicted in Jaina iconography.—Ѳٳ’s father was the king of Mithila in Vaṅga (Bengal) and belonged to the Ikṣvāku race. His name was Kumbha and his queen was called ʰ屹ī. According lo the Śvetāmbara sect, Ѳٳ was a woman. [...] The Jina acquired the name of Malli as his mother longed for fragrant Malli (a kind of Jasmine) flowers while bearing him in the womb.

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.
