Answer

Jain Dharma mein “Rāśi” / “Rashi” shabd ka arth sandarbh ke anusār badal sakta hai. Samānya rūp se Jain paramparā mein yeh shabd in arthōn mein mil sakta hai:

• Samūh / collection ke arth mein
• Rāshi-chakra / zodiac signs ke arth mein, Jain jyotiṣ ya laukik gananā ke sandarbh mein
• Jīv-rāśi ke rūp mein, arthāt jīvon ke samūh ya varg
• Karma-rāśi ke rūp mein, arthāt karmon ka sañcay ya samūh
• Dravya-rāśi ya vastu-samūh ke arth mein

Explanation

Jain darshan mein “rāśi” ka mūl bhāv hota hai ek samūh, sañcay, ya aggregation. Isliye yeh shabd kabhi jīvon ke samūh ke liye, kabhi karmon ke sañcay ke liye, aur kabhi laukik jyotiṣ sambandhit rāshi ke liye prayukt ho sakta hai.

Udāharan ke rūp mein:

• Jīv-rāśi – anant jīvon ke samūh ke liye.
• Karma-rāśi – bandh hue karmon ke sañcay ke liye.
• Rāshi – Mesh, Vrishabh ādi zodiac signs ke arth mein, jab jyotiṣ sambandhit sandarbh ho.

Spiritual Understanding

Jain Dharma ka mukhya zor rāshi-phala ya bhāgya-vād par nahi, balki karma, puruṣārtha, samyag darshan, samyag jñān aur samyag chāritra par hai. Isliye agar “rāshi” shabd jyotiṣ ke arth mein aaye bhi, to Jain mārga ka kendriya siddhānt yeh hai ki jīv apne karmon aur sādhana ke dvārā ātmā ki unnati kar sakta hai.

Takeaway

Jainism mein “rāshi” shabd adhiktar samūh, sañcay, ya varg ke arth mein samajhna chāhiye. Jyotiṣ-vāli rāshi Jain Dharma ka kendriya tattva nahi hai; Jain Dharma ka kendr karma aur ātmā ki śuddhi hai.
