Shiv ji Jain dharma ki mukhya pratishtha nahi hain. Jainism mein mukhya adhyatmik pehlu Arih-Emperor (Arihant), Tirthankar, keval-jnan aur moksha hoti hai. Dharmik anubhohon ya bhakti-kendrit bol-chal mein kai jagah Shiv ki baat Hindu dharma ke sandarbh mein aati hai, lekin Jain sutro mein Shiv ko Mahapurush ya Bhagwan ke roop mein central tareeke se maana nahi jata.

Do mukhya baatein:

• Jainism mein poorvak-aur aage ki muktikay khatir keval-jnan aur siddhiyon ki praptikram sabse mahatvapurn hai.
• Digambar aur Shwetambar dono traditionon me Shiv paryapt sahi arth ya pavitra sthiti ke roop mein pramukh dev ke roop mein nahi dekha jata; unki sthiti alag-alag tathaon aur bhakti-pathon mein vyakhya ki jati hai.

Agar aap chahen, main Jain dharma ke anusaar Shiv aur is sambandh ki jo vyakhya sahi Jain sources me milti hai, uska upyukt saransh de sakta hoon.
