Ayaro is the first part of the first book of The Jaina Scripture. The Acharanga Sutra begins with the quest for the soul. The soul is both general and ephemeral, the creator and the enjoyer. There is bondage and there are causes of it. There is liberation and there are means of attaining it. These are the basic principles of the science of ethics, which have been discussed in the present sutra. It discusses a large number of themes namely, non-violence, bondage and emancipation, fearlessness, friendliness, mysticism, renunciation meditation and such other subjects which offer copious insight into the moral and spiritual background of Mahavira's teachings.
