Answer

Bhagwan Parshvanath ke Ganadhar ke baare mein do paramparaayen milti hain:

• Śvetāmbara parampara: 8 Ganadhar
• Digambara parampara: 10 Ganadhar

Ganadhar ka arth hota hai Tirthankar ke pramukh shishya. ( jainknowledge.com)

Explanation

Jain granthon aur paramparaon mein Parshvanath ke Ganadharon ki sankhya ek jaisi nahi batayi gayi hai. Ek Jain source mein likha hai ki Digambara tradition 10 Ganadhar maanti hai aur Śvetāmbara tradition 8 Ganadhar maanti hai. Usi source mein Digambara parampara ke pratham Ganadhar ka naam Svayambhu bhi diya gaya hai. ( jainqq.org)

Spiritual Understanding

Yeh farq Jain Dharma mein parampara-bhed ko dikhata hai. Mool bhav yeh hai ki Bhagwan Parshvanath ke updesh ko unke pramukh shishyon ne dharan kiya aur aage pracharit kiya. ( jainknowledge.com)

Takeaway

Aasaan shabdon mein: Parshvanath ke Ganadhar 8 bhi kahe jaate hain aur 10 bhi, depending on Jain tradition. ( jainqq.org)
