Accordingly: ā[...] Then the eight DikkumÄrikÄs living in upper Rucaka on the peaks of the garden Nandana: Meghaį¹ karÄ, MeghavatÄ«, SumeghÄ, MeghamÄlinÄ«, SuvatsÄ, ³Õ²¹³Ł²õ²¹³¾¾±³Ł°łÄå, VÄriseį¹Ä�, BalÄhakÄ, wearing divine ornaments, attended by MahattarÄs, SÄmÄnikÄ«s, and body-guards, by armies and generals as before, went to the birth-house purified by the Masterās birth and circumambulated the Jinendra and the Jinaās mother three times. After announcing themselves like the preceding ones, bowing to VijayÄ and praising (her), they made (by magic) the sky dark with clouds, in that same place. [...]ā�.
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, āself-relianceā�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
