Chhah Dhala paath ka arth (meanings in short)

• Chhah Dhala yaani chhah dhalaik kavya, Pandit Daulat Ramji dwara likhi gayi chhoti Jain dharma ki rachna hai. Isme paath ke 6 hisse hai (dhals) jo Jain jeevan ki mool dharma-siksha ko sangrahit roop me prastut karte hain. Har dhal alag alag metre me likha gaya hai aur inka uddeshya paap ko door karke samyak gyaan, samyak charitra aur samyak bhavana ki or jagrana hai.

• Arth ki drishti se yeh paath teen mukhya cheezon par kendrit hai:

1) Samyak darshan (samyak gyaan) aur samyak charitra (samyak aacharan) ki avashyakta; yaani ki sahi vishwas, sahi kiya/kiya gaya vyavahar, aur sahi gyaan ke saath aatma ki mukti ki or badhna. 2) Tristaan (three-fold) ya teen logon ki bhumika: shikshak (teacher), shravak/shravika ki seva, aur bhakti-marg ke madhyam se atma ki shuddhi. Iska sandesh keval gyaan tak seemit nahi, balki sansar ke dukhon se mukti ki prakriya ko bhi spaṣṭ karta hai. 3) Sanyas, ahimsa, anavashyak bhaavon ki virakti, aur karmon ki bandhanon se mukt hone ki or agrasar rehne ki prerna.

• Digambar aur Shwetambar ki vyakhya mein antar: dono paramparaon me mool arth aur uddeshya milte hain—atma ki mukti ki or agrasar, ahimsa aur sahi darshan ki mahatta ko barhawa. Lekin kuch shabdon, chhand-yaapan ya prachar ki tarah ki vyakhya thodi alag ho sakti hai. Sutradhar ke sandarbh me parivartan ya upalakshano ki jankari har parampara ke anuroop hoti hai.

• Saar-sansar ki prabhavshali samvedna: Chhah Dhala ka mool tatva yeh hai ki jain jeevan ke chhote-chhote kriya-kalap (bhaavnaayein, vach aur sharir ke karm) ko sahi dhang se jod kar, aatma ki shuddhi aur moksha ki disha ko majboot kiya jaye. Is paath me atyadhik saundrya ya lokpriya slogano ki tarah “kehavat” ki jagah, atma ki antaratma ki vijay aur nirvana ki prarthna hoti hai.

Agar aap chahen, main chhah dhalon ke her dhal ki samanya arth ko ek-ek line me bhi shamil karke aur Digambar/Shwetambar ke vishesh anusar thoda vistar se samjha sakta hoon.
