In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

: archive.org: Aspects of Jaina Art and Architecture

笔奴谤颈尘补 (啶啶班た啶�) (in Prakrit) refers to 鈥渋mages prepared by stuffed cast鈥�.鈥擨mages of T墨rtha峁僰aras were made of stones, metals, wood, clay, precious gems, jewels or semi-precious stones. Speaking about 蝉迟丑腻辫腻苍补 or installation of a symbol for a Guru during his absence, the Jaina canonical text Anuyogadv膩ra-s奴tra says that it may be made of wood, stucco-work, painting, plaster, flower-work or knitting, or prepared by wrapped cloth or stuffed cast (辫奴谤颈尘补), repousse or beaten metal work.

Note: Haribhadra Suri, commenting on it, has explained 辫奴谤颈尘补 as bharima, that is, an object like a brass image cast with core inside. 笔奴谤颈尘补bharima thus refers to the casting of images by lost-wax process. Haribhadra specifies that they contained some core (sa-garbha)

context information

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.
