In Jainism, the phrase “5 samvays” usually refers to the five vows (vratas) that are central in Jain practice.

• The Five Mahavratas (great vows) — observed by Jain monks/nuns for life:

1) Ahimsa — non-violence to all living beings 2) Satya — truthfulness 3) Asteya — non-stealing 4) Brahmacharya — celibacy (chastity) 5) Aparigraha — non-possession / non-attachment

• The Five Anuvratas (small or partial vows) — observed by lay Jain households for a stated period (less strict than the mahavratas):

1) Ahimsa — non-violence in daily life 2) Satya — truthfulness 3) Asteya — non-stealing 4) Brahmacharya — chastity (restrained to faithful partnership) 5) Aparigraha — limiting possessions and attachments

These sets form the core structure of Jain ethical discipline for ascetics (mahavratas) and lay followers (anuvratas). If you were thinking of a different “samvay” term, please tell me more about the context and I’ll align with that specific meaning.
