Accordingly:鈥斺�溑歳墨vijaya and Amitatejas, one having made a 苍颈诲腻苍补 and one not, died and became gods in the heaven Pr膩峁嘺ta. Named Ma峁噄c奴la and Divyac奴la, they remained happily in the palaces Susthit膩varta and 狈补苍诲颈迟腻惫补谤迟补ka.

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, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
