In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism痴腻谤耻峁噊诲补 (啶掂ぞ啶班啶｀啶�) is the shorter name for 痴腻谤耻峁噊诲补samudra, an ocean (samudra) surrouding the continent (诲惫墨辫补) known as V膩ru峁嚹玽ara (or, V膩ru峁嚹玽ara诲惫墨辫补), according to Jain cosmology. 痴腻谤耻峁噊诲补 and V膩ru峁嚹玽ara are situated in the middle-world (madhyaloka), which contains innumerable concentric continents (诲惫墨辫补), each surrounded by their own ocean. The middle-world, as opposed to the upper-world (adhaloka) and the lower-world (奴谤诲丑惫补濒辞办补), is the only world where humans can be born.
痴腻谤耻峁噊诲补 is recorded in ancient Jaina canonical texts dealing with cosmology and geography of the universe. Examples of such texts are the Sa峁僩raha峁嚹玶atna in the 艢vet膩mbara tradition or the Tiloyapannatti and the Trilokas膩ra 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.
