    Difference in traditions

    • Śvetāmbara: Mother of a Tīrthankar (like Mata Trishalā of Mahavīr Bhagwān) sees 14 dreams (these above).
    • Digambara: List is of 16 dreams – these 14 plus two more (commonly a divine throne and a pair of fish). Meaning remains the same: an extraordinary Tīrthankar‑soul is coming who will help countless jīvas towards moksha.

    All 14 swapna together show: A supremely pure, fearless, compassionate, and wise soul is entering the mother’s womb, who will become a Tīrthankar and guide the world on the path of Right Faith, Right Knowledge and Right Conduct.
