Different words in Jainism starting with letter he
Here are Jain terms and names that begin with “He,” with very simple meanings:
- Hetu: cause; the reason behind an effect. In Jain thought, causes are often understood as material (upādāna), instrumental (nimitta), and supporting (sahakārī).
- Hetvābhāsa: a “false reason” or fallacy used in faulty arguments; important in Jain logic and debate.
- Heya (Heyatva): “that which is to be avoided,” such as violence (hiṁsā), passions (kaṣāya), and wrong belief (mithyātva).
- Heyopādeya-viveka: discernment of what to avoid (heya) and what to adopt (upādeya), central to right conduct.
- Hemacandra (Ācārya Hemacandra): a revered 12th‑century Śvetāmbara Jain ācārya and polymath; composed major works on grammar, lexicon, ethics, yoga, history, and prosody.
- Hemaprabhasūri: a respected Śvetāmbara Jain teacher (sūri) known in the tradition for scholarship and guidance.
- Hemavijaya: a later Śvetāmbara monk‑scholar noted in tradition for learning and engagement with broader intellectual circles.
Notes:
- Where applicable, I’ve used standard Sanskrit/Prakrit terms commonly shared across Jain traditions; Hemacandra and the sūris named here are specifically associated with the Śvetāmbara tradition.
- The essence and meanings above are from traditional Jain usage and do not rely on non‑Jain interpretations.
