    Define aagam in reference of tripadi

    11 months ago 101

    Aagam (Aagam) in Jainism, when talked about with Tripadi, refers to the threefold teachings Mahavir spoke to his Ganadhars, which form the foundation of Jain philosophy. These three statements are known as Tripadi (Three Pronouncements).

    Original terms (the Tripadi)

    • Uppanneiva / Utpatti (emergence of a new phase or mode)
    • Vigameiva / Vyaya (vanishing or destruction of the old mode)
    • Dhuveiva / Dhrauvya (the original qualities remain constant)

    Intended meaning (arth)

    • Utpatti: A substance can take on a new form or mode; its essential nature begins to express itself in a new way.
    • Vyaya: The old form or mode disappears; change happens but the underlying substance remains.
    • Dhrauvya: The essential qualities of the substance stay constant despite the changes in form or appearance.

    Important note on traditions

    • The words may appear slightly different in Digambar and Shwetambar traditions (for example, Uppanneiva/Utpatti, Vigameiva/Vyaya, Dhuvei Va/Dhrauvya), but the teaching remains the same: substance (dravya) undergoes transformation in its form (paryaya) while its core guna (qualities) endure. The Tripadi captures how change and permanence coexist in all substances.
