In Jain tradition, gotra (or gotrā) refers to a lineage or ancestral line traced back to a rishi (sage) or to a founding family line. Among some Jain communities, including Oswal Jains, there is a concept of 84 gotras. These gotras are used in social contexts like marriage discussions to indicate lineage, not to imply any religious superiority or status.

Key points to know:

• The idea of 84 gotras is a traditional social-cultural listing within certain Oswal/Jain communities.
• Different Jain traditions (Digambar and Shwetambar) may have slight variations in how they name or categorize gotras. The core spiritual purpose of Jain practice remains the same, even though social customs around gotras can differ by community.
• The exact names and the arrangement of the 84 gotras can vary by region and family tradition. There isn’t a single universally fixed canonical list in all sources.

If you want an exact, community-specific roster (the precise 84 gotra names used by a particular Oswal family or temple lineage), it’s best to consult:

• the Oswal Jain community records or family geneologies, or
• a trusted Jain community source or pravachan (lecture) that specializes in gotra classifications for Oswals.

Note: For precise, source-backed details or a definitive list, I can help look up a dedicated Jain Knowledge resource or a community page. If you’d like, tell me and I’ll search for an authoritative page that lists the 84 gotras as recognized by Oswal Jains and indicate any differences between Digambar and Shwetambar traditions.
