ΈιΔεΒαΔ«±Ή²Ή°ωΔεΒαΎ±°μΔε (ΰ€°ΰ€Ύΰ€œΰ₯€ΰ€΅ΰ€°ΰ€Ύΰ€œΰ€Ώΰ€•ΰ€�) refers to a β€œline of lotus (feet)β€�, according to the 11th century JñānārαΉ‡ava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.β€”Accordingly, β€œThe thirty gods, whose heads are bowed, bow down to the line of lotus feet (±θΔε»ε²Ή-°ωΔεΒαΔ«±Ή²Ή°ωΔεΒαΎ±°μΔε) of those whose hearts have become a refuge only for the doctrine. That very same doctrine, which is devoted to the helpless, is a preceptor and a friend, and the doctrine is a master and a brother. It is a protector without a motiveβ€�.

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, β€˜self-relianceβ€�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
