Is garbha khalnayak and 14 dreams same
No, garbha-kalyāṇak and 14 dreams are not the same, but they are related.
- Garbha-kalyāṇak means the auspicious event of conception when a Tīrthaṅkara’s soul enters the mother’s womb.
- 14 dreams are seen by the mother as a sign that a Tīrthaṅkara has entered her womb.
So:
- Garbha-kalyāṇak = the event
- 14 dreams = the auspicious signs associated with that event
In Jain tradition, the 14 dreams are considered one of the divine indications of a Tīrthaṅkara’s arrival, especially described in relation to the Tīrthaṅkaras’ mother.
