Those who know these deities thus, and who contemplate upon them so, will be relieved from the three sicknesses of birth, old age and death.

General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: JainismDatta (दतà¥à¤¤) is the name of the seventh VÄsudeva (“violent heroesâ€�) according to both ÅšvetÄmbara and Digambara sources.

The legends of these twin-heroes usually involve their antagonistic counterpart known as the PrativÄsudevas (anti-heroes).

The nine VÄsudevas (such as Datta) are also known as NÄrÄyaṇas or Viṣṇus and are further described in various Jain sources, such as the BhagavatÄ«sÅ«tra and JambÅ«dvÄ«paprajñapti in ÅšvetÄmbara, or the Tiloyapaṇṇatti and Ä€dipurÄṇa in the Digambara tradition. The appearance of a VÄsudeva is described as follows: their body is of a dark-blue complexion, they wear a yellow robe made of silk, and they bear the Å›rÄ«vatsa on their chest.

The doctrine is the great joy conveyed to the world of mortals [com.â€�»å²¹³Ù³Ù²¹-³¾²¹²Ô³Üá¹£y²¹±ô´Ç°ì²¹-±¹¾±²õ³ÙÄ«°ùṇa-±è°ù±ð³¾²¹â€”‘the great joy granted to the human world’] for those possessing a desire for that. The doctrine is the place of the arising of the taste for the constant happiness in the city of heaven. Does not the doctrine make a man fit for pleasure with a woman [in the form] of liberation?â€�.
Synonyms: PrÄpita.

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.

: Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts, volume 3, part 1: SaduktikarnamritaDatta (दतà¥à¤¤) is the name of a Poet mentioned in the 13th century SaduktikarṇÄmrita by ÅšrÄ«dhara DÄsa (son of Vaá¹u DÄsa) who was a chief over several districts (called a ³¾²¹³óÄå³¾²¹á¹‡á¸²¹±ô¾±°ì²¹).—The Sadukti-Karnamrita is a collection of miscellaneous verses by different authors and on various subjects, five verses being devoted to each subject.
