In Jainism
Jain philosophy
Source: archive.org: Anekanta Jaya Pataka of Haribhadra SuriJīvāstikāya (जीवास्तिकाय) refers to one of the five Astikāyas or “aggregate of pradeśas”, as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 370, l. 23]—‘Astikāya’ is usually interpreted as an aggregate of pradeśas. All the dravyas except time are so designated, and hence their number is five according to the Śvetāmbaras and the Digambaras as well. The five astikāyas are: jīvāstikāya, dharmāstikāya, adharmāstikāya, ākāśāstikāya and pudgalāstikāya.

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.
