The Kath膩sarits膩gara (鈥榦cean of streams of story鈥�), mentioning 闯墨惫补诲补迟迟补, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Narav膩hanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 (celestial beings).

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Jaina Yoga闯墨惫腻诲补迟迟补 (啶溹啶掂ぞ啶︵い啷嵿い) refers to 鈥渨hat is not granted by a living creature鈥�, and represents one of the fourfold classification of adatta (not-given), according to Devagupta鈥檚 Nava-pada-prakara峁嘺 (with Laghu-v峁泃ti). Example of 箩墨惫腻诲补迟迟补: 鈥渁nimal products not given by the slaughtered animal or even a fruit (which has not been given by the 箩墨惫补 inhabiting it)鈥�.
The classification of adatta is related to the asteya-vrata (vow of not stealing). The 艢vet膩mbara writers generally preface any discussion of stealing (steya or caurya or more generally 补诲补迟迟腻诲补苍补, 鈥渢he taking of what has not been given鈥�) by fourfold classification of adatta (eg., 箩墨惫补-adatta).
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.
