General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism狈腻产丑颈谤腻箩补 (啶ㄠぞ啶た啶班ぞ啶�) is the name of a kulakara (law-giver) according to Digambara sources where his wife is named as Marudevi. The kulakaras (similair to the manus of the Brahmanical tradition) figure as important characters protecting and guiding humanity towards prosperity during ancient times of distress, whenever the 办补濒辫补惫峁沰峁 (wishing tree) failed to provide the proper service.
These law-givers (e.g., 狈腻产丑颈谤腻箩补) are listed in various Jain sources, such as the Bhagavat墨s奴tra and Jamb奴dv墨papraj帽apti in 艢vet膩mbara, or the Tiloyapa峁囜箛atti and 膧dipur膩峁嘺 in the Digambara tradition.
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.
