Jain pooja me arghya (arghya-purva) ki mukhya vastu paani hota hai. Sirf lotus (kamal) chadha dena zaroori ya sahi nahi hai; arghya me paani ke saath samarpan ki bhavna sabse mahatvapurn hai.

• Aam taur par arghya me paani, phool (koi bhi svachh, sukhad sugandhit phool), mandir ki safai ke anurodh ke mutabik chhote upakaran (jaise patra), aur man ki shuddhi zaroori hoti hai.
• Kamal phool bahut lokpriya hain, lekin yeh mandatory nahi hai. Aap koi bhi svachh phool chadhayein jo aapke aas-paas uplabdh ho.
• Digambar aur Shwetambar paramparaon me thodi bahut chhoti riwaayat alag ho sakti hain, par arghya ka mool tatva paani ki aradhana aur bhavna hi rahta hai.
• Aise samayon me bhi dhyaan rakhein ki kachcha ya jinda janvaro ko takleef na ho, aur saaf-suthra vartan rahe.

Agar aap chahte hain, main is visay par Digambar aur Shwetambar ki visheshtayon ki spasht bhasha me chhote points bhi de sakta/ sakti hoon.
