    Nana I sootra

    6 months ago 110

    It seems you are asking about “Nana I Sutra”, but this phrase can refer to different things in Jain tradition, and it is not clear which one you want.

    In Jainism, “Nānā” (or “Jñāna”) generally means knowledge. Depending on context, you might be referring to:

    1. A sutra / stanza related to Jñāna (knowledge)

    For example, small prakrit or Gujarati sutras used in daily prayer that talk about: - Right knowledge (samyak jñān) - Types of knowledge (mati, śrut, avadhi, manaḥparyaya, keval jñān) Sometimes people loosely say “nānā sutra” for such short verses.

    1. A part of the Jain Āgams (canonical scriptures)

    There are Anga, Upanga, chedasutra etc. Some sections discuss “nānā” (knowledge) in detail, and in some local traditions people refer to those sections as “nānā-sūtra”.

    1. A local / community prayer called ‘Nana ni sutra’ or similar

    In some families or pathsalās, a specific small sutra about knowledge or praise of knowledge might be nicknamed “Nana(nā) ī sūtra / Nana ni sūtra”. These are not always standard names in the main scriptural list.

    Because the exact words “Nana I sootra” are not a standard, uniquely identifiable Jain scripture title, I cannot confidently give you the exact original text and its arth without knowing which one you mean.

    To help you properly, I would need a bit more detail, for example:

    • Any line or words from the sutra you remember (even a few words), or
    • Whether it is a daily prayer from your pathshala / guru, or
    • Whether you are asking about a sutra on “Jñāna” (knowledge) in general.

    Once I know which specific sutra you mean, I can give the original text (if available in the tradition) and a simple, authentic Jain meaning.
