In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: The Original Paṇhavāyaraṇa/Praśnavyākaraṇa DiscoveredPaṇhavāgaraṇa (पण्हवागरण) (Prakrt; in Sanskrit: Praśnavyākaraṇa) refers to the tenth Anga of the Jain canon, according to the Sthānāṅgasūtra (Sūtra 755). Accordingly, the ten adhyayanas are taught as follows:
- comparison/ example (uvamā),
- decision/enumeration (saṃkhā),
- teachings of the seers (isi-bhāsiyāiṃ),
- teachings of the teachers (āyariya-bhāsitāiṃ),
- teachings of Mahāvīra (mahāvīra-bhāsitāiṃ),
- the issues associated with the way of divination which involves a deity’s entering a linen cloth (khoma-pasiṇāiṃ),
- the issues associated with the way of divination which involves a deity’s entering some soft object (?) (komala-pasiṇāiṃ),
- the issues associated with the way of divination which involves a deity’s entering a mirror (addāga-pasiṇāiṃ),
- the issues associated with the way of divination which involves a deity’s entering the surface of one’s thumb (aṃguṭṭha-pasiṇāiṃ), and
- the issues associated with the way of divination which involves a deity’s entering the surface of one’s arm (bāhu-pasiṇāiṃ).
According to the Samavāyāṅgasūtra (Sūtra 145): “In the Paṇhāvāgaraṇadasā, those great issues of praśnavidyās are explained, which are composed by the best Jinas, cause direct perception, and have manifold great qualities. [These issues] are hard to comprehend and fathom [but] can awaken ignorant men, and are approved by all omniscient Jinas. [These are] told, by great Jaina sages with great details, by those teachers who speak of various objects of manifold qualities and the ways of self-restraint in detail; and also by all those Pratyekabuddhas, who propounded our as well as others’ doctrines in discourses of various purposes. [...]”.
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, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
