Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraSevārta (सेवार्त) refers to the sixth of the “six varieties of joints” (saṃhanana).—There are 6 varieties of joints; in the sixth (sevārta) the bones only touch each other.—(cf. Samavāyāṅgasūtra 155, p. 150; Sthānāṅgasūtra 494, p. 357.)
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.
