Prayog and Prayogi are terms related to practice and practitioner in Jainism.

• Prayog (प्रयोग): The act of applying or practicing Jain vows and teachings in daily life. It refers to the practical application of Jain principles (ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, aparigraha) in conduct, rituals, and ethics.

• Prayogi (प्रयोगी): A person who engages in such practice—a practitioner of Jain dharma. This can refer to a monk (sadhu) who follows strict vows or a lay follower who sincerely embraces and living by the Jain path.

Notes:

• In Jain scriptures, you may find Prayog used to denote the implementation of vows, disciplines, or doctrinal instructions in real life.
• Prayogi denotes the one who performs or embodies those practices.
• If there are differences in interpretation between Digambara and Śvetāmbara traditions, they would be noted in the specific texts or commentaries; the core idea remains “practice” (prayog) and “practitioner” (prayogi).
