In Jainism, especially among many Śvetāmbara communities, “gotra” is a social / family lineage, not a religious division.

Key points:

1. No fixed, pan-Jain list

- Jain āgams and main scriptures do not give one official list of Śvetāmbara gotras. - Different Śvetāmbara communities (Oswal, Porwal, etc.) keep their own traditional lists.

1. 84 gotras (chourāsī gotra)

- In several Śvetāmbara merchant communities there is the idea of “84 gotras”. - These are old family/clan names, usually coming from: - an ancestor’s name, or - a place of origin. - They are used mainly for marriage and genealogy (to avoid marriage within the same gotra).

1. Religious vs social

- Gotra is not about spiritual status, karma, or eligibility for moksha. - Both Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions focus on: - Samyak darshan (right faith) - Samyak jñān (right knowledge) - Samyak chāritra (right conduct) not on birth or gotra.

1. Variation by community

- The names and exact list of Śvetāmbara gotras change from community to community. - To know “your” Śvetāmbara gotra, you have to check: - your family elders - old lagna-patrikās (wedding cards), family bahi, or community records - your local Śvetāmbara sangh or caste association.

So, there is no single, universal “Śvetāmbara gotra list” that applies to all Śvetāmbara Jains; it is a community-wise family tradition, not a central Jain dharma concept.
