General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism搁耻肠补办补惫补谤补诲惫墨辫补 (啶班啶氞啶掂ぐ啶︵啶掂啶�) is one of the continents (诲惫墨辫补) of the middle-world (madhyaloka), encircled by the ocean named Rucakavarasamudra (or simply Rucakavara), according to Jain cosmology. The middle-world contains innumerable concentric 诲惫墨辫补s and, as opposed to the upper-world (adhaloka) and the lower-world (奴谤诲丑惫补濒辞办补), is the only world where humans can be born. 搁耻肠补办补惫补谤补诲惫墨辫补 is also known as plainly Rucakavara.
搁耻肠补办补惫补谤补诲惫墨辫补 is recorded in ancient Jaina canonical texts dealing with cosmology and geography of the universe. Examples of such texts are the Sa峁僩raha峁嚹玶atna in the 艢vet膩mbara tradition or the Tiloyapannatti and the Trilokas膩ra in the Digambara tradition.
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.
