General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IDumapattaya (दुमपत्तय) (lit. “the leaf of the tree”) refers to the tenth chapter of the Uttarādhyayanasūtra (dealing with the Mūlasūtra section of Jain Canonical literature), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—The tenth chapter of the Uttarādhyayanasūtra is entitled dumapattaya ‘the leaf of the tree’ taken as a symbol of impermanence and ability to decay. As a consequence, it is a strong invitation to watchfulness and to avoid carelessness (pramāda, a recurring term). Gujarati sajjhāyas on each of the 36 chapters of the Uttarādhyayanasūtra are common (see preceding entry).
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.
