: archive.org: The Jaina Iconographyī (सगरचक्री) is the name of the chowrie-bearer accompanying ᾱٲٳ: the second of twenty-four Tīrthaṃkaras or Jinas, commonly depicted in Jaina iconography.—The Jaina original books give him the symbol of elephant (Gaja) and his other symbol, namely his special tree (𱹲ṛkṣa) tree both being connected with his images. Further, two other iconographic points by which ᾱٲٳ’s statues may be differentiated from those of others are the figures of his particular Yakṣa called Mahāyakṣa and his Yakṣiṇ� named Ajitabalā. Mention of these is made in the Jaina canonical Literature. His posture is what is technically known as ḍgԲ i.e., standing with two arms hanging on the sides. His chowrie-bearer is ī.

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.
