General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IKathāsaṃgraha (कथासंग्रह) is the name of a work narrating stories from Jain literature.—The Kathāsaṃgraha (in Sanskrit prose and verse) 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 manuscript of the Kathāsaṃgraha was meant to contain only three stories. [...] The first story deals with a historical figure who lived during the reign of the Vaghela dynasty in Gujarat. Minister Pethaḍa-de (Śāh, alias Pṛthvīdhara), the son of Deda, from Mandavagarh (Mandu), earned great wealth and spent it in getting Jain temples built or ornamented at various places, including Shatrunjaya. The tapāgaccha monk Dharmaghoṣasūri instigated him to do so. this happened in VS 1321 (1264 CE). He was also very pious (reference to his adoption of celibacy although he was only 32, practice of pratikramaṇa are mentioned in the available passage). [...]
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.
