    Quote for Uttam kshama long

    12 months ago 50

    Here is a well-known Uttam Kshama (Supreme Forgiveness) line, with its meaning:

    Original text (transliteration as commonly quoted in Jain Dharma): Kahupatis puno, bahurangam jadi havedi sakhadam, kundi kinchivi koham, tas Kshama hodi thamoti.

    Meaning (arth):

    • It expresses the highest form of forgiveness: one stays calm, even when provoked, and pardons others who have wronged or harmed you. True Uttam Kshama is to forgive freely and to maintain equanimity under all circumstances.

    Notes:

    • Uttam Kshama is the first of the ten Das Lakshan (supreme virtues) and is central to Jain practice, especially during Paryushan and Samvatsari.
    • In Jain tradition, forgiveness is a strong, active virtue, not a mere forgetting; it involves controlling anger and choosing right conduct.

    Different traditions:

    • The essence of Uttam Kshama is shared across Digambar and Shwetambar traditions, though exact phrasing or cited sources may vary slightly between texts.
