Khashaya gotta means jains ?
In Jainism, the correct word is “kashāya”, not “khashaya gota”.
Kashāya = passions of the soul Kashāya means the inner negative emotions that bind karma to the soul. There are four main kashāyas:
- Krodh – anger
- Mān – pride / ego
- Māyā – deceit / cheating nature
- Lobh – greed
Because of these kashāyas, the soul remains in saṁsār (birth–death cycle). When kashāya is fully destroyed, the soul becomes Vitarāg (without attachment and hatred) and attains moksha.
So:
- “Kashāya” does not mean “Jains”.
- It is a Jain technical word for passions (anger, pride, deceit, greed) which we try to reduce and finally remove.
