Jainism ke anusar, "Purv bhav mei 6 mitro ko sone putli dwara bodh diya" ek prasiddh katha hai jo prachin Jain granthon mein milti hai. Yah katha mukhyataḥ samyak darshan (right faith) ki prapti aur sansar ki asarvikta ko samjhane ke liye kahi jati hai.

Katha ka Sankshipt Varnan:

Ek purv janm ki katha hai jismein ek vyakti ke 6 mitra hote hain. Unmein se ek mitra ka man sansarik sukh-samagriyon mein atik ruchi leta hai. Us vyakti ne apne mitron ko sone ki ek sundar putli (golden doll) dikhayi. Vah putli bahar se bahut akarshak thi, lekin uske andar zeher bhara tha. Vyakti ne mitron ko bataya ki yah sone ki putli kitni sundar hai, lekin usne chetavani bhi di ki is putli ko chhuo mat, kyunki ismein zeher bhara hai.

Yah drishtant yah samjhata hai ki sansarik sukh bhi sone ki putli ki tarah akarshak to dikhte hain, lekin ant mein ve jeev ko dukh, bandhan aur sansar mein phansa dete hain. Isliye samyak darshan aur vivek se hi sansar ke jhootey sukhon se bachkar moksh ki or badhna chahiye.

Is katha ka mool uddeshya:

• Sansarik sukh-samagriyon ki asarvikta aur unke ant mein hone wale dukh ka bodh.
• Mitron ko satya aur dharm ki or agrasar karne ka mahatva.
• Samyak darshan (right faith) ki prapti ke liye vivek aur satya ka anusaran.

Is prakar, sone ki putli dwara 6 mitron ko bodh dena ek prerna hai ki humein dharm aur satya ke path par chalna chahiye, aur sansar ke bhram se bachna chahiye.
