• Vairagya (vairāgya): In Jain Shwetambar texts, vairagya means one’s inner renunciation or dispassion toward worldly pleasures, status, and attachments. It is the climb in the mind and heart toward detachment, so that one can steadily practice right conduct (śīla) and eventually pursue moksha. It is often presented as a mental disposition and a practiced discipline, not just a set of external rites.

• Vitraga (vit-ṛaga): This term emphasizes external or visible detachment from bondage-causing ties—i.e., freedom from strong emotional or material attachments that bind the soul. In many Shwetambar scriptures, vitraga is described as a state or quality of a monk or layperson who remains detached from possessions, relationships, and passions that hinder liberation.

How they relate in practice (in brief):

• Both point to renunciation and detachment as essential to spiritual progress.
• Vairagya is the internal, ongoing inclination toward renunciation and equanimity.
• Vitraga often refers to the outward, practical expression of that detachment (how one lives, what one clings to or discards).

Important note on traditions:

• The core idea is shared across Digambar and Shwetambar traditions: detachment is crucial for liberation.
• If a particular scripture uses a nuance that seems different, the emphasis is often about either the inner (vairagya) or the outer (vitraga) aspect of renunciation. In Jain philosophy, both are harmonized in the path to kevala jnana (omniscience) and moksha.

If you’d like, I can point you to a specific Shwetambar scripture or stotra where these terms are discussed, or provide the exact verses and their translations.
