General definition (in Jainism)
: academia.edu: The epoch of the Mahavira-nirvanaSarvanandi (600-500 BCE).鈥擜charya Sarvanandi was the author of the fam ous Jain text 鈥淟okavibhaga鈥� which was translated into Sanskrit by Simhasuri in Saka 380 (204 BCE). Simhasuri mentions that Sarvanandi wrote Lokavibhaga in Prakrit long ago in the kingdom of Pandyas. In my opinion, there was at least 400- 300 years鈥� gap between Sarvanandi and Simhasuri. Therefore, Sarvanandi must be dated in 6 th century BCE.
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.
