In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Jaina YogaSatt膩var墨 (啶膏い啷嵿い啶距さ啶班) in Prakrit or 艢补迟腻惫补谤墨 in Sanskrit refers to the plant Asparagus racemosus Willd. This plant is classifed as 补苍补苍迟补-办腻测补, or 鈥減lants that are inhabited by an infinite number of living organisms鈥�, and therefore are abhak峁a (forbidden to consume) according to both Nemicandra (in his Pravacana-s膩roddh膩ra v245-246) and Hemacandra (in his Yoga艣膩stra 3.44-46). Those plants which are classified as 补苍补苍迟补-办腻测补s (e.g., 蝉补迟迟腻惫补谤墨) seem to be chosen because of certain morphological peculiarities such as the possession of bulbs or rhizomes orthe habit of periodically shedding their leaves; and in general theyare characterized by possibilities of vegetative reproduction.
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.
