"Pitani abru ne kaun vadhare che" translates to "Who has greater self-respect?" in Gujarati.

In Jainism, the concept of self-respect (abru or atma-gaurav) is closely aligned with one's adherence to the path of right conduct (Samyak Charitra), right faith (Samyak Darshan), and right knowledge (Samyak Jnan). Jain philosophy emphasizes that true self-respect comes from following the principles of non-violence (Ahimsa), truth (Satya), non-stealing (Achaurya), celibacy (Brahmacharya), and non-possessiveness (Aparigraha).

Therefore, according to Jainism, the person who observes these vows and lives with self-discipline, compassion, and detachment, regardless of worldly status, is considered to have greater self-respect. It is not measured by external achievements or social recognition, but by one's inner adherence to Jain principles and the purity of one's soul.

Ultimately, the greatest abru is for the soul that is progressing towards liberation (Moksha) through righteous living.
