In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritraǰ첹ī (अवलोकनी) is the name of a subdued by Rāvaṇa, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.1 [origin of the ṣaṃśa and Բṃśa] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, “[...] Rāvaṇa, knowing the highest good, not considering it worthless, remained motionless like a high mountain, absorbed in preeminent meditation. ‘Well done! Well done!� was the cry of gods in the sky, and the Yakṣa-servants departed quickly, terrified. One thousand s, the sky being lighted up by them, came to Daśāsya (=Rāvaṇa), saying aloud, ‘We are subject to you.� [e.g., ǰ첹ī, ...] great s beginning with these were subdued by noble Daśāsya in just a few days because of his former good acts. [...]�.

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.
