Aapno prashn Jain dharm na sandarbh ma chhe ke nahi, e spasht nathi. Pan jo tame Jain dharm na prasiddh ansan (upvaas) sambandhi prasna puchyo chhe, to Jain dharm pramane anek muniyo ane shravako anek divas ansan (upvaas) karyu chhe, pan "hathi hastgiri par" vishe koi vishesh prasang Jain sahitya ma ullekhat nathi.

Jain dharm ma ansan (upvaas athva sallekhana) ek pavitra vrat chhe, je moksha ni prapti mate apna karma nu kshalan karva mate karvama aave chhe. Moolatva muniyo dhyan, tapa, ane upvaas dwara aapna atma ne shuddha banava prayas kare chhe.

Jo tamne vishesh prasang ya vyakti vishe puchvu hoy to krupya vistar thi janavo.
