In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: The Jaina Iconography痴补颈谤辞峁瓂腻 (啶掂啶班啶熰啶ぞ) or Vairo峁� also refers to one of the sixteen Vidy膩dev墨s (goddesses of learning).鈥擳he 艢vet膩mbara text represents the goddess [Vairo峁玗 as riding on a snake and carrying in her hands a sword, snake, shield and snake. The Digambaras鈥� Vidy膩dev墨 rides a lion and has a snake symbol. The Yak峁峁嚹� of the identical name occurs in the Digambara iconography and belongs to Vimalan膩tha. Her vehicle and symbol in both the instances consist of snakes. That there exists a sure cognateness between the conception of the Vidy膩dev墨 and the Yak峁峁嚹� is clearly indicated by a Digambara text whichin an invocation calls the latter a Vidy膩dev墨.

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.
