Ahimsa Mimamsa violence described in Acharang but the efforts are put into make it deep rooted and psychological.
Twin principal definations of religion are available in Acharanga
(1) AFIN ETA fefe ya$t- $10/3, Aryas have termed composure as a religion.
(2) सव्वे भूया सव्वे जीवा सव्वे सत्ता न हंतव्वा ए स धम्मे सुद्धे, निइए सासए समिच्च लोयं खेयम्मेहिं पवेइए-१/४१
Do not kill any animal, living species, and essence and this is only pure, permenant and eternal religion. It is preached after realizing the pains of the whole world.
These two definations are dependant upon two different point of views. The technical terminalogy of the religion as composure is the technical terminology of individual religion, free from society. Because composure is the biodata of own's nature considering principles and psychological point of views.
Non-violence is practical and society related religion. Because it is designed to remove the pains of the people and the society. Non-violence is the external exposure of achievement of composure. Composure is the center point of nonviolence, and it is the base of non-violence. Non-violence has been mentioned as the essence of Arhat's discourses as well as pure and permenant.
It is mantioned in Ayaro, 5/101, you are the only one, whom you wish to kill, you are the only one, whom you desire to rule,
