Ahinsa ka dusra naam "Non-violence" hai, lekin Jain dharm mein ise "Param Dharma" (param dharma) bhi kaha gaya hai. Ahinsa ka arth hai—kisi bhi praani ko man, vachan, ya kaya se dukh na pahunchana. Isliye, ahinsa ko kabhi-kabhi "Karuna" (daya) bhi kaha jata hai, kyunki yeh sabhi praaniyon ke prati daya aur prem ka bhav hai.

Saaransh mein, ahinsa ke dusre naam ho sakte hain:

• Non-violence (अहिंसा)
• Param Dharma (परम धर्म)
• Karuna (करुणा)

Jain dharm mein ahinsa ko sabse mahatvapurn aur mool siddhant mana gaya hai.
