Notes for customization
- Digambar vs. Shwetambar: You may insert a short line noting the tradition’s emphasis (e.g., “Shwetambar tradition follows the Das Lakshan Tapasvi in this context,” or “Digambar lineage emphasizes the same ten lakshanas with their own textual references.”). Keep the content respectful and aligned with the chosen tradition.
- If you have a formal or ceremonial occasion, you can add a short verse or prayer at the top or bottom as per your local practice.
Would you like me to tailor this to a specific occasion (e.g., a temple event, a personal note, or a public ceremony) or format it for a Word/Google Docs template with placeholders you can fill later?
