    Name all vigayi

    12 months ago 148

    Nav Vigai (the nine foods to be strictly avoided) traditionally listed in Jain scriptures are:

    • Milk (khīr)
    • Curd/yogurt (dahi)
    • Butter/fresh butter (navaṇīya)
    • Ghee (sappī)
    • Oil (tela)
    • Jaggery/solid sugar (gula)
    • Honey (madhu/mahu)
    • Alcohol/wine (madya/majja)
    • Meat (māṁsa)

    Traditional Prakrit listing: “ṇava vigaiō paṇṇattāo—taṁ jahā: khīraṁ, dahiṁ, navaṇīyaṁ, sappīṁ, telaṁ, gulo, mahuṁ, majjaṁ, maṁsaṁ.”

    Notes:

    • Both Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions acknowledge this list; wording may vary slightly (e.g., butter/fresh butter), but the nine categories remain the same.
    • The intent is to prevent mental and spiritual agitation (vikāra) and uphold ahiṁsā and brahmacharya.
