O lord, redeem the gods from the misery brought about by TÄraka. Hence, O lord Åšiva, PÄrvatÄ« shall be accepted by you and grasped [i.e., ²µ°ù²¹³óÄ«³Ù²¹±¹²âÄå] with your right hand. Accept her hand as offered in marriage by the lord of mountains. She is full of noble attributesâ€�.

General definition (in Jainism)

Having taken hold of this body in this life, suffering is endured by you. Hence, that [body] is certainly a completely worthless abodeâ€�.

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 to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संसà¥à¤•ृतमà¥� (²õ²¹á¹ƒs°ìá¹›t²¹³¾), 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.
