mahavir swami chayahin or chayadhar

Jain parampara mein Bhagwan Mahavir Swami ko chhaya-hin maana jata hai — yani unki divya visheshata ke roop mein chhaya nahi padti. Isliye unhe chayadhar nahi kaha jata.

Saral shabdon mein:

• Chhaya-hin = chhaya se rahit
• Chayadhar = chhaya wali aakriti ka dharan karne wala

Jain granthon aur stutiyon mein Tirthankar Bhagwan ki aisi anokhi visheshata batayi gayi hai.
