    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.

    Takeaway

    It may be a traditional story, but it is not something I would state as proven Digambar Jain doctrine. In Jainism, the soul’s next birth depends on karma, not on the method of death alone.
