In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra闯腻丑苍补惫墨 (啶溹ぞ啶灌啶ㄠさ啷�) is another name for the river Ga峁単膩, according to chapter 2.5 [补箩颈迟补苍腻迟丑补-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:鈥斺�淸...] Jahnu (i.e., one of Sagara鈥檚 sons) took the infallible staff-jewel, like another staff of Yama. Jahnu split the bank of the Ga峁単膩, like Vajrin the slope of a big mountain with the thunderbolt. Then the Ga峁単膩 advanced by the path of the cut made by the staff. Water, like an honest man, goes where it is led. The Ga峁単膩 arrived at Mount A峁ａ弓膩pada鈥檚 moat like the ocean, with high waves like mountain-peaks thrown up, with the noise of beating against the bank like a drum beaten hard, making the fissure made by the staff twice as wide by the rush of her water. She began to fill completely the moat a thousand yojanas deep, terrifying as P膩t膩la. Beginning from the time the Ga峁単膩 was brought by Jahnu to fill the moat of Mount A峁ａ弓膩pada, she was called 闯腻丑苍补惫墨鈥�.
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.
