Did bhagavan mahaveer marry?
There are two main Jain traditions on this:
- Digambara: Mahavira did not marry; he renounced worldly life and began his ascetic path as a bachelor.
- Śvetāmbara: Mahavira was married to Yaśodā (Yashoda) in his youth and they had a daughter named Priyadarśanā (also called Anojja in some texts).
In both traditions, he later left home to become an ascetic and eventually attained enlightenment.
