General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraGiriparvata (啶椸た啶班た啶ぐ啷嵿さ啶�) is the name of a mountain, according to chapter 5.2 [艣膩ntin膩tha-caritra] 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, as a Goddess said to Sumati:鈥斺�淸...] In 艢r墨nandanapura there was a king, named Mahendra, like Mahendra (Indra), always zealous day and night in protecting people seeking protection. The king鈥檚 chief-queen, dearer than life, was named Anantamati, the receptacle of infinite virtues. [...] At the right time two daughters were born; I, the elder, named Kanaka艣r墨, and you, named Dhana艣r墨. The two grew up with mutual affection and attained youth with the collection of arts. Playing here and there as they liked, they went one day to Mount Giriparvata, a place for recreation on holidays. [...]鈥�.
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.
