In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra顿别惫补诲耻峁补 (啶︵啶掂う啷佮し啷嵿く) refers to an 鈥渁n upper garment made of wool鈥�, according to chapter 1.3 [腻诲墨艣惫补谤补-肠补谤颈迟谤补] of Hemacandra鈥檚 11th century Tri峁峁ａ弓i艣al膩k膩puru峁caritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism. Accordingly, 鈥淸...] completely indifferent, the son of N膩bhi descended from the jewel of a litter, as if from sa峁僺膩ra, under an a艣oka-tree. At once the son of N膩bhi abandoned all clothes, wreaths, ornaments, as well as the passions. The Lord of the gods placed on the Lord鈥檚 shoulder a 诲别惫补诲耻峁补, soft, white, fine, as if sewn with moon-beams鈥�.
Note: Here 诲别惫补诲奴峁补 is certainly an upper garment and would be made of wool; but as Hemacandra generally uses the word, it seems to refer to the material rather than a specific garment.
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.
India history and geography
: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri鈥檚 Kuvalayamala-katha (history)Devad奴峁a (啶︵啶掂う啷傕し啷嵿く) refers to type of cloth which commonly decorated the Vim膩nas (temple complex) of ancient India, as vividly depicted in the Kath膩s (narrative poems) such as Uddyotanas奴ri in his 8th-century Kuvalayam膩l膩 (a Prakrit Camp奴, similar to K膩vya poetry).鈥擯age 92.24-31: [...] Such was the external appearance of Vim膩na but in its middle portion or inside there were living apartments with rooms or retiring chambers beautified all-round with pearl-festoons furnished with a bed spread of chalcedony and blue stone, foot-stool of emerald, placed on a floor of precious stones and furnished above with a 诲别惫腻峁単补 cloth and upper canopy like 诲别惫补诲奴峁补 cloth.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
