General definition (in Jainism)
: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri鈥檚 Kuvalayamala-katha颁腻谤补峁嘺艣谤补尘补峁嘺 (啶氞ぞ啶班ぃ啶多啶班ぎ啶�) refers to 鈥渙ne who moves in the air from place to place鈥�, according to the 8th-century Kuvalayam膩l膩 written by Uddyotanas奴ri, a Prakrit Camp奴 (similar to K膩vya poetry) narrating the love-story between Prince Candr膩p墨岣峚 and the Apsaras K膩dambar墨.鈥擳here is a reference to 颁腻谤补峁嘺艣谤补尘补峁嘺 who moved alone in the air from place to place, whereas the other kind of teacher was gaccha-pariggahi who took his whole Gaccha or Ga峁嘺 with him while on the move. In line 18 there is a reference to the holy mountain 艢atru峁僯aya which seems to have become a famous religious centre before 779 A.D. when Uddyotanas奴ri was writing.
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.
