Which are the 10 laxan of paryushan
Here are the 10 Laxans (Das Lakshan) of Paryushan, as observed in the Digambar tradition:
1) Uttam Kshama — Supreme Forgiveness 2) Uttam Mardava — Supreme Humility 3) Uttam Arjava — Supreme Straightforwardness 4) Uttam Shaucha — Supreme Purity/Contentment 5) Uttam Satya — Supreme Truth 6) Uttam Sanyam — Supreme Self-restraint 7) Uttam Tapa — Supreme Austerity 8) Uttam Tyag — Supreme Renunciation 9) Uttam Akinchanya — Supreme Non-attachment 10) Uttam Brahmacharya — Supreme Celibacy
Notes:
- These ten are specifically emphasized in the Digambar Das Lakshan Parva, which is a 10-day observance.
- Shvetambar Jains generally observe Paryushan as an 8-day festival with a strong focus on similar virtues, but the explicit 10-day “Das Lakshan” framing is particular to the Digambar tradition. The core ethical aims (forgiveness, truth, non-violence, self-discipline, etc.) are shared across traditions.
