    Bhavanasamvasah and samvasah term used in taatvartha sutra

    3 months ago 50

    In Tattvārtha Sūtra, the term is usually understood as:

    • bhāvanā-saṃvāsaḥ = dwelling in, or remaining in, a mental state / repeated contemplation
    • saṃvāsaḥ = association, residing together, intimate contact, or dwelling with

    In Jain usage, saṃvāsa generally means constant association or close contact, and bhāvanā-saṃvāsa points to continuous mental dwelling in a particular thought, feeling, or spiritual contemplation.

    Simple meaning

    • Bhāvanā = भावना = contemplation, reflection, mental cultivation
    • Saṃvāsa = साथ रहना / साथ में ठहरना = dwelling, association, staying with

    So together it means: “continuously abiding in a particular contemplation or inner disposition.”

    In Jain spiritual sense

    This can imply:
    • staying in auspicious thoughts,
    • repeated reflection on truth,
    • cultivating right disposition,
    • or being deeply associated with a mental state.

    If you want, I can also give the exact sutra line and its word-by-word meaning (padārtha) in simple Jain terminology.
