General definition (in Jainism)

Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I

Ṛṣidattārāsa (ऋषिदत्तारास) is the name of a work by Jayavantasūri dealing with the lives of Jain female heroes.—The Ṛṣidattārāsa (in Gujarati) 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.—This work was composed in VS 1643 (1586 CE; see above). [...] The heroine Ṛṣidattā exemplifies the virtuous wife (satī). The first literary attestation of the story seems to be found in Nemicandra’s Ākhyānakamaṇikośa (13th century). Since then her story has been written several times and has become a favourite, especially in Old Gujarati literature (rāsa, caupaī, etc.)

context information

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.
