In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritraūṇa (भ्रू�) refers to an “embryo� or “child�, according to chapter 4.1 [śreyāṃsanātha-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, as Hayagrīva (Aśvagrīva) said to Tripṛṣṭha:—“You are a stripling, boy. Slaughtering you is like killing an embryo (i.e., ūṇa), nothing else. Now go away. Today I am embarrassed before you. Verily, this weapon of mine, the cakra, never stumbles and never becomes dull, like Indra’s thunderbolt. [...]�.

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.
