Accordingly:鈥斺��'At the end of the eight-day festival, Sagara instructed his general to conquer the west district (See Sindhuni峁u峁璦 and Ga峁単膩ni峁u峁璦) of the Sindhu with half his army. [...] The general invaded the 厂颈峁僪补濒辞办补s, the Barbarakas, Ta峁卥a峁嘺s and others, and Yavanadv墨pa. [...] Returning from its extremity, the general remained in its plain, like an elephant returned from water-play. The Mlecchas, lords of isolated villages, towns, villages, etc., went from all sides to him there as if drawn by a noose. [...]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.
