Jainism na itihas anusar, "dan dharam ni raksha mate pran rakshak vastu no tyag" karvano udaharan Shri Adinath Bhagwan (Rishabhdev Bhagwan) ni jivan katha ma maly chhe.

Jare Shri Adinath Bhagwan e diksha lidhi ane bhiksha mate nagar ma gaya, to loko e temne bhakshya (anna, dudh, ghee, etc.) ni jagyae keval jal, phool, ane biji vastu aapi. Karan ke te samay ma "arambh" (udhyog) ni shuruaat thayi hati ane lokoe samjyu ke Bhagwan Adinath e annadi (anna grahan na karvu) vrat dharyu chhe.

Bahuj din sudhi Bhagwan ne bhiksha na mali, pan temne potana pran ni raksha mate potana vrat, dharm ane tapasyano tyag na karyo. A rite Bhagwan Adinath e dan dharam ni raksha mate pran rakshak vastu no tyag karyo, temne potana sharir ni parvah na kari, pan dharm ni maryada banavi raki.

Aa prasang thi janay chhe ke Jain dharm ma dan-dharam ni raksha mate potana pran ni pan balidan aapva tayyar rahvanu bhaav chhe.
