That very same doctrine is proclaimed by the Jinas as possessed of ten characteristics, having honoured even a part of which those who have subdued their senses obtain liberation”.

Synonyms: Kalpapādapa, Kalpavṛkṣa.

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.
