Jain dharm na itihas pramane, “Machhli joi kon sadhu thaya?” ae prashna vaakye pramane prasiddh chhe. Aa prasang Shri Anathi Muni (Kevalgyani Bhagwan) sambandhit chhe.

Kahani anusar, ek vyakti je machhli pakadvama ne maansahar ma ruchi rakhta hata, ek divas te jalsa ma machhli pakadne gaya. Tya teone ek sadhu ne joi, ane sadhu na updesh thi prabhavit thai gaya. Pachhi te vyakti maansahar chhodi, aparigraha ane ahinsa apnai, sadhu panth grahan karyo. Aa vyakti pachi vikhyat muni thaya.

Jain dharm ma aa prasang thi ahinsa ane parivartan ni mahima samjaay chhe. Mool sandesh e chhe ke koi pan vyakti potani jindagi ma khotu chhodi, satya ane ahinsa nu palan kari, sadhutva apnai shake chhe.

Aa prasang ne adharit lokpriya ukti pan chhe: “Machhli joi sadhu thaya.” Aarthaat, je vyakti pehla maansahar karta hata, te pan sadhu bani shake chhe.

Aa prashna na sandarbh ma mukhya naam Anathi Muni (athva Bhagwan Anathi Muni) aave chhe.
