In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāDharmasaṃgraha (धर्मसंग्रह) refers to the “collection of dharma”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, after Gaganagañja said to Ratnapāṇi: “When this exposition of the dharma, ‘A Chapter of the Collection of Dharma’ (dharmasaṃgraha), was taught, the Bodhisattva Ratnapāṇi covered this world system of three thousandfold worlds with his precious right hand in order to pay respect to the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja and his exposition of the dharma. [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: University of Cambridge: JainismDharmasaṅgraha (धर्मसङ्ग्रह) of the Digambara author Medhāvin belongs to the genre of śrāvakācāra.—The text deals with various topics of the right conduct of laymen, for instance with the five minor vows (pañcāṇuvrata) of a housholder. The text ends abruptly at adhikāra 7, verse 93. In its complete form the work consists of 10 chapters (adhikāras). The first three chapters set the context where the teaching took place: it is imparted by Mahāvīra, answering to the questions of king Śreṇika. This is the occasion for a detailed description of the Jina’s samavasaraṇa.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
