Is the snake story true Digambar Jainism that 2 girls were cut by a snake and they went to Dev lok
Answer
No, I would not call that a standard, universally accepted Digambar Jain scriptural fact.Explanation
In Jain tradition, stories about souls going to Devlok are possible, but such a birth is based on karma, punya, and inner state of the soul, not simply because a snake cut them.So if the story says:
- two girls were cut by a snake, and
- then they went to Devlok,
then this is best understood as a local katha or devotional story, not as a core, confirmed Jain siddhānta unless it comes from a specific recognized text.
Spiritual Understanding
Jain Dharma teaches that:- moksha comes through right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct,
- deva gati is still within संसार, not liberation,
- and death by itself does not decide the next birth.
So such a story should not be treated as a general rule of Jainism.
