He took them with him, put them in a golden cage and trained them. He went to the Nandīśvara to listen to a monk (Munirāya) who asked him to set the birds free, which he did. [...]”.
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.
