Jainism maa "Dev" athva "Devta" shabda thi swarg maa vas karta jeevo (heavenly beings) ne samjhay chhe. "Dandak" ek prakar no niyam, maryada athva restriction chhe, je devtao par lagu pade chhe.

Jain shastras mujab, devtao par kyak kyak dandak hoy chhe. Teo anantkal sudhi ekaj sthaan par nahi rahishake, temne samay samay par potana lok badalva pade chhe ane temne moksh ni prapti thai shakati nathi, kem ke temne atyant sukh ane bhog ma ramva ni pravrutti hoy chhe. Devtao ne pan punyakarma na phal rupe dev gati ma janam male chhe, pan moksh mate temne manushya janma levu jaruri chhe.

Dandak na vishe Jain shastras ma aapva ma aavelu chhe ke devtao ne kayam ekaj sharir hoy chhe, temne bhookh, pyas, rog, vruddhi, sankat, mrutyu vagere nathi thatu. Pan te loko moksha na adhikari nathi, ane temne temna karmo puri thai ke pachi punah anyathaa gati ma janam levu pade chhe.

Samanya rite, dandak etle niyam, maryada, athva bandhan je devtao par hoy chhe. Ahimsa, satya, aparigraha jevi maryada to badha jeevo upar lagu pade chhe, pan devtao ni maryada temna swabhav ne anusar nirdharit kareli hoy chhe.

A rite, "Devtao no dandak" etle devtao par lagu padta niyam, maryada, ane bandhan.
