Akshay Tritiya is very important in Jain Dharma because it is associated with the first parāna of Bhagwan Rishabhdev (Ādinath) after His long period of fasting.

Importance of Akshay Tritiya in Jainism

• Bhagwan Rishabhdev completed a very long tapasya.
• When He decided to break the fast, people did not know the proper dāna to offer.
• Finally, Śreyansh Kumar offered sugarcane juice.
• This became a great symbol of:

- dāna (right giving), - bhakti, - and the completion of tapasya with humility and compassion.

Importance of sugarcane juice

• Sugarcane juice is remembered because it was the first ahar offered to Bhagwan Rishabhdev after His fast.
• It is seen as a sacred offering connected with:

- breaking fast in the proper way, - respectful giving, - and supporting a tapasvi.

• For many Jains, drinking sugarcane juice on Akshay Tritiya is a remembrance of that divine event.

Spiritual message

Akshay Tritiya teaches that:

• tapasya should be completed with purity,
• dāna should be given with understanding and devotion,
• and one should support saints and tapasvis with reverence.

In Jain tradition, this day is especially remembered as a day of great merit, charity, and devotion to Bhagwan Rishabhdev.
