General definition (in Jainism)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Anangakrida in Jainism glossary
: archive.org: Jaina Yoga

Բṅgīḍ� (अनङ्गक्रीडा) refers to “love-play� and represents one of the transgressions (پ) of the Brahma-vrata (vow of celibacy).—Siddhasena Gaṇin (in his commentary on the Tattvārtha-sūtra 7.23) understands by Բṅg-īḍ� a combination of methods to heighten sexual passion: the use of artificial phalli made of wood, leather, clay, and other constituents, caressing the sexual organs, pulling the hair, biting and marking with the nails. Such practices he says, result in disease for the persons who give way to them.

Haribhadra’s definition (see his commentary on the Āvaśyaka-sūtra p. 825a) is virtually the same: caressing a woman after coitus in order to re-inflame desire, and with Abhayadeva (in his commentary on the Śrāvaka-charma-pañcāśaka) he offers in addition an alternative interpretation: toying (īḍ�) with parts of the body—the breasts, loins, armpits or face—other than the sexual organs (literally -ṅg “not the organ�); Hemacandra and Siddhasena Sūri leave the choice open between this second version and that of Siddhasena Gaṇin. This offence may be regarded as an پ not a ṅg because it refers to caresses and love-play, and not to the complete sexual act (see Hemacandra’s Yogaśāstra 3.94).

The Digambara authorities, including in this case Āśādhara (see his Sāgāra-dharmāmṛta 4.58), understand this پ to include various sexual deviations, particularly fellatio and cunnilinguism.

: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 7: The Five Vows

Բṅgīḍ� (अनङ्गक्रीडा) refers to “perverted sexual activities� and represents one of the five transgressions (aticara) of the “minor vow of celibacy� (󳾲ⲹ-걹ٲ) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 28.—What is meant by cohort (Բṅg-īḍ�)? What is meant by perverted sexual activities ()? It means to use organs not meant for sexual activities for sexual gratification.

General definition book cover
context information

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.
