Adhikaran kriya (अधिकरण-क्रिया) Jain dharm ki 25 kriyaon me se ek hai. Ye Tattvartha Sutra ke Prayoga-kriya shreni me aata hai.

• Arth (meaning): Adhikaran-kriya ka arth hai "hathyar, shastra ya moja andar rakhna" yaane ki aisi kriya jo apni suraksha ya yuddha-samagri rakhne se judi hoti hai. Jain shastra ke anusar yeh kriya paṇḍit parṇ ke anukul ya anukul nahi mani jati; isliye isse tyag ya upashamana ki shikha ke viruddh mana gaya hai.
• Srot se milta vivaran: Tattvartha Sutra ke 6th adhyay ki 25 kriyaon ki suchi me Adhikaran-kriya (arms and ammunition rakhna) sammilit hai. Is suchi me anya kriyaon ke saath is kriya ko bhi tarah-tarah ki suraksha aur ahimsa ke sandarbh me dekha jata hai. ( jainworld.com)

Dusre vishay ya bhaag (Digambar–Shvetambar antar): Is kriya ki vyakhya dono paramparaon me pramukh roop se ek samaan hi mani jati hai; dono me iski ahimsa ki dhaarna ke sangraha me koi bade antar nahi hota. Arth-saar aur kartavya ki soch usi roop me bani rehti hai.

Yaad rahe:

• Adhikaran-kriya ka paathya arth awashyak roop se ahimsa aur sadaiv shuddha upavriti (usthirata) ke sandarbh me dekha jata hai. Yaani is kriya ki avashyakta ya uchit hona, dharmik marg me vyakhya-kriyaon ke roop me kiya gaya hai ki nahi, is par nirikshan hota hai.

Agar aap chahen to main is vishay par aur bhi spashtiye (sutra-sankshipt arth, Digambar/Shwetambar ki alag vyakhya) de sakti hoon.
