Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: GlossaryIryapatha-kriya:—Walding carefully, i.e., looking on the ground for protecting living beings which may be trod upon and thus injured.
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.
