General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraṚṣ岹ٳٲ (ऋषभदत्�) is the name of a trader from Tāmralipti, according to chapter 6.2 [ٳ-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, as Sāgaradatta said to Kumbha:—“[...]. I went to the bazaar and saw Ṛṣ岹ٳٲ, a wealthy trader who had come from Tāmralipti. Because of the same religion, we had friendly conversation about business-news, like old friends. One day he came to my house for some reason and looks at my daughter Priyadarśanā for a long time. [...]�.

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.
