Jain dharm mein Tirthankar ki “rang” ko aam taur par unke gunon aur brahmavritt ki chhavi se joda jata hai, na ki koi hard and fast roop se vyavasthit rang. Matlab: rang ek pratik hai jo shuddhi, tapas, vairagya, aur kevalgyan ki yaad dilata hai. Isliye rang ko alag-alag granthon ya sampradayon mein thoda-thoda badal kar bataya gaya hai.

• Rang ka arth: shuddhata (purity), ahimsa ya paropakari drishtikon, nitya vairagya (detachment), aur spiritual pragati ki or sanket.
• Digambar vs. Shwetambar: dono paramparaon mein rang ki vyakhya me thoda antar hota hai, lekin dono hi is baat ko maante hain ki rang sirf roop-nigaman nahi, balki atma ki pragati ki taraf ishara hai.
• Agar aap kisi vishesh Tirthankar ka rang jaanna chahte hain (jaise Rishabhdev, Mahavira, Parshvanath, etc.), to main aapko us Tirthankar ke liye manjoor ki gayi prachin lakshanalekh ke hisaab se arth samjha sakta hoon. Bas bataye kaun se Tirthankar ka rang janna hai.

Agar aap chahen, main ek vishesh Tirthankar ke rang ke sambandh mein Digambar aur Shwetambar dono paramparayon ke pramukh arth-srot (arth) ko saaf-saaf samjha kar de sakta hoon.
