General definition (in Jainism)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Agnibhuti in Jainism glossary
: HereNow4u: Lord Śrī Mahāvīra

Ծūپ (अग्निभूत�) is the name of the second ṇa󲹰 (group-leader) of Mahāvīra.� Ծūپ was the middle brother of Indraūپ. After getting the answer for his doubt on ‘Puruṣādvaita� from Lord Mahāvīra, he along with his 500 students, at the age of 46, accepted the mendicant conduct. Wandering as a mendicant for 12 years, he attained pure knowledge. Being a 𱹲ī for 16 years, during the Lord's lifetime he attained liberation after observing a month's fast at Guṇaśīla-caitya.

All these ṇa󲹰s (for example, Ծūپ) were Brahmins by caste and Vedic scholars. After taking initiation, they all studied the 11 ṅg. Hence, all of them had the knowledge of the 14 ū and possessed special attainments (labdhis).

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
