“Katariya ke kuldevta” ka seedha, ek‑hi naam wala uttar dena sambhav nahi hai, kyunki:

1. ‘Kuldevta / Kuldevi’ parivaar‑dar‑parivaar badalte hain

Ek hi jaat ya surname (jaise Katariya) ke sabhi logon ka ek hi kuldevta ho, aisa zaroori nahi hota. Har vansh / parivaar apni alag paramparā se kuldevta maante hain.

1. Jain dharm mein mool upāsya Dev

Jain dharm mein mukhya pūjya - 24 Tirthankar - Siddh Bhagwan - Arihant, Siddh, Āchārya, Upādhyāy, Sādhu hote hain. Kuchh Jain parivaar Kuldevi/Kuldev ko bhi mānte hain, lekin mukhya sharan Tirthankaron ko hi maana jaata hai.

1. Sahi jaankari kaise milegi?

- Apne ghar ke buzurgon (dada‑dadi, nana‑nani, pitaji‑chachaji) se poochhiye – ve hi batā sakte hain ke aapke vishesh vansh ka kuldevta kaun maana jaata hai. - Kabhi‑kabhi ye jaankari purane pothiyon, vanshavali, ya mandir ke bahi‑khāte mein likhi hoti hai.

Isliye “Katariya ke kuldevta” ka ek universal naam batāna theek nahi hoga. Jain drishti se, aap chahe jis bhi parivaar se ho, sabase uchch sharan Tirthankar Bhagwan hi hai; unki bhakti nischit aur sarvabhaum maani gayi hai.
