In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: The Jaina Iconography艢腻蝉补苍补诲别惫补迟腻 (啶多ぞ啶膏え啶︵啶掂い啶�) refers a group of deities commonly seen attending upon T墨rtha峁僰aras, also known as the Yak峁 and Yak峁峁嚹�.鈥斺�淎 Yak峁 is a devotee of the T墨rtha峁僰aras鈥�, so defines a Jaina liturgical text. According to the Jaina belief, Indra appoints one Yak峁 and Yak峁Ｄ� to serve, as attendants of each T墨rtha峁僰ara. The Yak峁 would be on his right side and Yak峁峁嚹� on his left. Thus, they also came to be called 艢膩sana-devat膩 or attendant spirits. According to Hemacandra, a Yak峁 originates from the particular religious spirit of a Jina. Hence, we can take, in all strong probability, that the Yak峁 was the leader of the disciples and Yak峁峁嚹� was the first female convert.

This is done with reference to her 产墨箩腻办峁谤补 in a 鈥楾antric鈥� way. She helps to conquer all kinds of enemies and malevolent beings or other deified figures. She is the protector of the teaching (艣腻蝉补苍补诲别惫补迟腻) of the twenty-third Jina, P膩r艣van膩tha, a Jina very often addressed by Jinaprabhas奴ri. in addition, Padm膩vat墨 had a direct link with the author鈥檚 life.
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.
