    where can i find references of 10 kamadevas

    2 hrs ago 3

    Answer

    In Jain tradition, references to the 10 Kāmadevas are generally found in Jain narrative and cosmological literature, especially texts that describe famous śalākā-puruṣas and extraordinary beings of the past.

    You may look for references in:

    • Triṣaṣṭi-śalākā-puruṣa-caritra — especially in sections describing notable great beings connected with Jain universal history.
    • Jain Purāṇic literature such as Ādipurāṇa and related charitra texts.
    • Prabandha and Kathā literature where descriptions of exceptionally handsome, powerful, or desire-attracting personalities are preserved.
    • Traditional Jain encyclopedic or cosmological works that list special categories of eminent beings.

    Explanation

    In Jain Dharma, the term Kāmadeva in this context does not mean the Hindu deity Kāma. It refers to exceptionally attractive and charming male personalities, known for extraordinary beauty and worldly appeal.

    The list of the 10 Kāmadevas is a traditional Jain classification, but exact names and details may vary depending on the text, sectarian tradition, and regional manuscript tradition.

    Important Note

    If you are looking for an exact scriptural citation with chapter, verse, or gāthā numbers, I should not guess. The safest approach is to consult a traditional Jain scholar or a printed critical edition/index of texts such as Triṣaṣṭi-śalākā-puruṣa-caritra or Jain Purāṇas.

    Takeaway

    The best place to begin is Triṣaṣṭi-śalākā-puruṣa-caritra and Jain Purāṇic literature, but for exact verse references, it is best to verify from a traditional indexed edition.
