General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsPramādarahita (प्रमादरहित) refers to “those who are free from carelessness”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Certainly, therefore, for stopping the influx of karma that which is to be accomplished by a man is stopped by the great sages who are careful [com.—by those who are free from carelessness (pramādarahitaiḥ)] [and thoroughly] prepared. Tolerance of anger and humility towards pride, moreover straightforwardness towards deception [and] abandonment of attachment, these are the enemies of desire respectively”.
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.
