Answer

Jain geography ke anusaar, Jambudweep ka vistaar 1 lakh yojan maana gaya hai.

Is 1 lakh yojan ke Jambudweep mein mukhya roop se yeh aata hai:

• Bharat Kshetra
• Airavat Kshetra
• Mahavideh Kshetra
• Haimavat Kshetra
• Harivarsha Kshetra
• Ramyak Kshetra
• Hairanyavat Kshetra
• Meru Parvat beech mein
• Alag-alag kul parvat, nadiyan, sarovar, aur bhog-bhumi/karm-bhumi ke vibhag

Narak Jambudweep ke andar nahi aata. Jain cosmology mein narak lok Adholok mein hota hai, jabki Jambudweep Madhyalok ka hissa hai.

Explanation

Jain Lok rachna mein teen mukhya bhaag bataye gaye hain:

• Adholok – yahan narak gati ke jeev rehte hain
• Madhyalok – yahan manushya, tiryanch आदि rehte hain; isi mein Jambudweep aata hai
• Urdhvalok – yahan dev lok hote hain

Jambudweep Madhyalok ka sabse pramukh dweep hai. Iska aakar gol maana gaya hai aur iska diameter 1 lakh yojan bataya gaya hai.

Jambudweep ke beech mein Sumeru / Meru Parvat hai. Uske chaaron taraf alag-alag kshetra aur parvaton ki vyavastha hai.

Spiritual Understanding

Jambudweep ka vishesh mahatva isliye hai kyunki Jain parampara ke anusaar Tirthankar Bhagwan ka janm, diksha, kevalgyan aur moksh marg ka prachar karm-bhumi mein hota hai.

Ham Bharat Kshetra mein rehte hain, jo Jambudweep ka ek bhaag maana gaya hai. Yahi kshetra dharm sadhana, tapasya, samyak darshan aur moksh marg ke liye atyant mahatvapurn hai.

Takeaway

1 lakh yojan Jambudweep mein narak nahi aata. Jambudweep Madhyalok mein hai, aur narak Adholok mein hota hai.
