An Account of
The same Veln refers to Nenn?, one of the Jain Teerthankars. *
Thus it will be seen that many Jain prophets like Rishabh, Suparshra, Neni and Vardhaman are worshipped and praised in the VEDAS. Hence Jainisn cannot be called Nâstikce ( in the sense of 'profane' or un vedic' ). It also appears to be prior to the Vedas. Nor-Jain Kalia says in BRAHADYOGAVASHI references shtha that he wished to get peace to Jainism u like Jin. 1 DAKSHIN-JURTA-SAHASRANAMA says: "Said shiva
a Jain is one who loves Jainism, subdues anger and conquers disease.'” I (coned.) नो ब्रहस्पतिर्दधातु दीर्घायुस्त्वायबलायुर्वा शुभजातायु॥ *उँ रक्ष रक्ष अरिष्टनेमि स्वाहा । वामदेवशान्त्यर्थ
मुपविधीयते सोऽस्माकं अरिष्टनेमि स्वाहाः ॥ 1 राम उवाच- नाहं रामो न मे वांछा भावेषु च न मे मनः।।
शांतिमास्थतुमिच्छामि चात्मन्येव जिनो यथा॥ + शिव उवाच- जैनमार्गरतो जैनो जितक्रोधो जितामयः ॥ Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
