    Different words in Jainism starting with letter he

    12 months ago 61

    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.
    - Triṣaṣṭi-śalākā-puruṣa-caritra: Hemacandra’s narrative of the 63 Illustrious Beings (śalākā puruṣas). - Yogaśāstra: Hemacandra’s work on vows, conduct, meditation, and the path to liberation. - Abhidhāna-chintāmaṇi: a celebrated Sanskrit lexicon. - Siddha-Hema-Śabdanuśāsana (Hemacandra’s grammar): a foundational Sanskrit grammar.
    • 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.
