: Sacred Texts: Uttaradhyayana SutraŚśī (शैलेशी)(=ī) is the ٳ (or condition) of Meru (=Śśī), according to the Uttarādhyayana-sūtra chapter 29 (“The Exertion in Righteousness�).—Accordingly, “By possession of conduct he obtains a stability like that of the king of mountains (viz. Meru) [i.e., ī], whereby a houseless monk destroys the four remnants of Karman which even a Kevalin possesses; after that he obtains perfection, enlightenment, deliverance, and final beatitude, and puts an end to all misery�.

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.
