In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: academia.edu: The Original Pa峁噃av膩yara峁嘺/Pra艣navy膩kara峁嘺 Discovered艢rutadevat膩 (啶多啶班啶むう啷囙さ啶むぞ) represents the embodiment of the entire canonical knowledge (of Jainism), according to the Pa峁噃av膩gara峁嘺 (Sanskrit: Pra艣navy膩kara峁嘺): the tenth Anga of the Jain canon which deals with the prophetic explanation of queries regarding divination.鈥斉歳utadevat膩 (Pkt. Sudadevad膩/Suyadevay膩) is mentioned also in the Bhagavat墨s奴tra, Mah膩ni艣墨thas奴tra and some other Jain texts. In the Jain tradition, the twelve 补峁単补蝉奴迟谤补蝉 are described as her limbs and the fourteen 辫奴谤惫补蝉 as her ornaments. [...] In her recent book on Sarasvat墨 reports, Jain Scholar Paul Dundas takes the 艢rutadevat膩 referred to in the Bhagavat墨s奴tra not as Sarasvat墨 but rather as an all purpose category. Yet, another Jain scholar, Nagasaki H艒jun (p.c.), interprets it as Sarasvat墨. With the discovery of J墨vabhogin鈥檚 commentary on the Pa峁噃av膩gara峁嘺, it is clear that 艢rutadevat膩 was identified with the May奴rav膩hin墨 Sarasvat墨 by the end of the seventh century, the date of our commentary.
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.
