In Jain tradition, the 14 auspicious dreams seen by Māyādevī before the birth of a Tirthankar are understood simply like this:
- Elephant — great strength, dignity, and noble soul
- Bull — religion, patience, and purity
- Lion — fearlessness and spiritual power
- Goddess Lakshmi — prosperity and good fortune
- Garland of flowers — fame and good qualities
- Full moon — calmness, peace, and completeness
- Sun — bright knowledge and removal of darkness
- Banner/flag — victory and high status in dharma
- Pot filled with water — purity and abundance
- Lotus lake — purity and spiritual beauty
- Milky ocean — deep peace and vast virtues
- Celestial throne — greatness and supreme honor
- Gem necklace — precious virtues and excellence
- Vermilionless smokeless fire — destruction of sins and intense spiritual energy
Simple overall meaning: These dreams indicate that a highly pure, powerful, and spiritually महान soul is about to be born — a Tirthankar.
