In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsPur (पुर्) refers to a “town�, according to the Yogaśstra vol. 2, p. 859, l. 5.—Accordingly, “Also Nami, knowing the difference between the self and wealth, said to Indra with regard to the burning of the town (ܰ-), in the burning of the town (ܰī) of Mithil nothing burns me�.

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.
India history and geography
: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptionsPur (पुर्) is mentioned as a synonym for “town� or “city� according to the Amarakośa 2.2.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
