´¡±è°ù²¹³Ù¾±³¦²¹°ì°ùÄå (अपà¥à¤°à¤¤à¤¿à¤šà¤•à¥à¤°à¤�) or JambunadÄ refers to one of the sixteen VidyÄdevÄ«s (goddesses of learning), commonly depicted in Jaina iconography.—According to the ÅšvetÄmbara books, she rides a Garuá¸a and all her four hands are armed with discs. She is called JambunadÄ by the Digambaras, who represent her as riding a peacock and bearing a sword and a spear. ´¡±è°ù²¹³Ù¾±³¦²¹°ì°ùÄå by name and symbols bears equality with the Yaká¹£iṇÄ� of ṚṣabhanÄtha. This VidyÄdevÄ« may have some innaterelation to VaiṣṇavÄ«, the wife of Viṣṇu, as JambunadÄ seems to have relation with KaumÄrÄ«, the wife of KÄrttikeya. Peacock and spear are in this form the common characteristics.

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.
