In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Jainismٰܰٲٲ岵 (रात्रिभुक्तत्याग) or ٰܰٲٲ岵پ represents the sixth of eleven پ (stages) laid down for Jain laymen. ٰܰٲٲ岵-پ refers to “abstaining from food after sunset� according to J. L. Jaini in his “outlines of Jainism� (pp. 67-70). It is also known as Kāyotsarga-پ.
These پs (e.g., ٰ-ܰٲ-ٲ岵) form a series of duties and performances, the standard and duration of which rises periodically and which finally culminates in an attitude resembling monkhood. Thus the پs rise by degrees and every stage includes all the virtues practised in those preceeding it. The conception of eleven پs appears to be the best way of exhibiting the rules of conduct prescribved for the Jaina laymen.

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.
