    Airāvata kṣetra’s choviśī

    11 months ago 62

    Airāvata kṣetra is one of the seven zones (kshetra) of Jambudvīpa in Jain cosmology. The word choviśī (often written chovisi) refers to the "twenty-four" Tirthankaras who appear in each half-cycle of time (Atiṭānt/Vartamān/Anāgata). In Jain texts, every kṣetra has its own set of 24 Tirthankaras for a given cycle, and these names can differ from the 24 Tirthankaras of another kṣetra (for example, Bharat).

    So, Airāvata kṣetra’s choviśī means the current, past, or future set of 24 Tirthankaras that are said to appear in that specific region during a given cosmological cycle. The exact names of the Airāvata Tirthankaras can vary between texts, and Digambar and Śvetāmbar traditions may present different lists or emphases. The general idea remains: each cycle brings 24 Tirthankaras into Airāvata kṣetra, just as into other kshetrās, with the cycle repeating over time.
