shrenik raja violent hunting incident

Jain tradition me Shrenik Raja ko ek pavitra lekin karm-bandhan se grast raja ke roop me varnit kiya gaya hai. Unke sambandh me hunting/maansik hiṃsa ki kathā bhi milti hai, jiska saar yeh hai:

• Shrenik Raja ne शिकार (hunting) kiya, jo hinsa ka karm tha.
• Jain drishti se shikaar sirf sharirik hiṃsa nahi, balki ahimsa-vrata ke viruddh karm mana jata hai.
• Is prakar ke karm se pap-karm ka bandhan hota hai aur jeev ko dukh bhogna padta hai.
• Is katha ka mukhya sandesh yeh hai ki shakti, rajya aur sukh hone par bhi ahimsa ka palan sabse mahatvapurn hai.

Jain dharma me is prasang ka uddeshya kisi vyakti ko ninda karna nahi, balki yeh samjhana hai ki:

hinsa ka phal dukh hai, aur ahimsa ka phal shanti aur moksh-marg ki or gati hai.

Agar aap chahen, main Shrenik Raja ki is katha ka sankshipt Jain version bhi bata sakta hoon.
