14. जावंति चेइआई सूत्र - Jävanti-Chelaim Sutra
14. Introduction
In this Sutra, obeisance is offered to currently existing Murtis of Jineshvar Bhagawän. This Sutra is also known as 'Sarva Chaitya Vandan Sutra'.
Savva means all; and Chaitya means either temple or an Murti of Jineshvar Bhagawän. It is important to note that in Sutra number 12, Jag Chintamani Sutra the word Chaitya is used to mean temple, while in this Sutra it is used to mean Murti.
In Jag Chintamani Sutra, obeisance is offered to those temples and those Murtis, which have always existed and which will always exist. In this Sutra, obeisance is offered to currently existing Murtis of Jineshvar Bhagawän.
