General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraBiḍaujas (बिडौजस्) is a name of Indra, as mentioned in chapter 1.1 [ādīśvara-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.—Accordingly, “[...] as [Lalitāṅa] was speaking thus, the god Dṛḍhadharma came to him at Biḍaujas’s command, and said, ‘The Indra of Aiśāna-heaven intends to go to Nandīśvara, etc., to make a pūjā to the statues of the Jinas. You go also at his command’.”.
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, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
