    Panchandiyo sutra jain

    10 months ago 49

    Panchindiya Sutra (Panchindiya-sutra)

    Original text (as commonly found in Jain scriptures): Panchindiya-samvarano, Taha nava-viha-bambhachera-guttidharo. Chauviha-kasäya-mukko, Iah atthärasa-gunehim sanjutto. ......1. Pancha-mahavvaya-jutto, Pancha-vihäyära-pälana-samattho. Pancha-samio tigutto, Chhattisa-guno guru majjha.......2.

    Arth (meaning) in brief:

    • A guru who has full control over the five senses (touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing), who observes nine forms of celibacy, and who is free from the four passions (kasayas) is described with eighteen qualities.
    • He upholds the five great vows, five kinds of conduct, five samitis (carefulness), and three guptis (restraints of mind, speech, body) — totaling thirty-six qualities.
    • The sutra is traditionally recited to honor one’s spiritual guru and to reinforce samayika (meditative/self-control practice) and devotion to the teacher.

    Notes:

    • There are slight variations in wording between Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions, but the core meaning — praising the guru’s discipline and 36 qualities — remains the same.
    • The text is commonly used at the start of samayika or as a remembrance of the guru.
