Accordingly, “[...] A VidyÄdhara, ±Ê°ù²¹³Ù¾±²õÅ«°ù²â²¹, saw AñjanasundarÄ« crying, approached, and in a gentle voice asked her the cause of her sorrow. Then her friend, weeping, told in detail the reason for AñjanÄ’s grief from the time of the marriage up to the birth of her son. Weeping, he said at once: ‘I am the lord of Hanupura, son of SundarÄ«mÄlÄ, younger brother of Citrabha, brother of your mother MÄnasavegÄ, child. Thank heaven! I have seen you while you are still living. Be comforted for the future’â€�.

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.
