[...] taking their families and all their retinue and ascending the best of cars, they [i.e., Nami and Viname] went to 痴补颈迟腻岣峢测补. They landed on mount 痴补颈迟腻岣峢测补 which is kissed by the mass of waves of the Lava峁嘺 Ocean at its borders, placed like a measuring-rod between the east and west quarters; a boundary between the northern and southern parts of Bharata, fifty yojanas wide north and south; buried six and a quarter yojanas in the earth, twenty-five yojanas high; embraced on all sides by the Ga峁単膩 and Sindhu rivers as if by mount Hima with arms stretched out from afar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.
