General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra厂奴谤辫腻谤补 (啶膏啶班啶ぞ啶�) is the name of an ancient kingdom, according to chapter 4.2 [惫腻蝉耻辫奴箩测补-肠补谤颈迟谤补] of Hemacandra鈥檚 11th century Tri峁峁ａ弓i艣al膩k膩puru峁caritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, as Vasup奴jya and Jay膩 spoke to V膩sup奴jya:鈥斺�淎ll the existing kings, among men and the Vidy膩dharas, who are of good family, capable, heroic, wealthy, famous, possessing the fourfold army, known for guarding their subjects, free from blemish, faithful to engagements, always devoted to dharma, in Madhyade艣a, Vatsade艣a, [...] and other countries which are the ornaments of the eastern quarter; [... in the 厂奴谤辫腻谤补s, ...] these now, son, beg us constantly through messengers, who are sent bearing valuable gifts, to give their daughters to you. [...]鈥�.
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.
