________________ Jainisms. believe in the Seven principles, the twenty-four Teerthakars, the principle of non-killing, and Right Belief, Right Knowledge and Right Conduct. The difference comes in only with refrence to image-worship, ile nature of asceties, and some other minor points. The images worshipped by the DIGAMBARs ara naked and they are not adorned with any ornaments or glass-nade eyes. The SHWETAMBAR images differ in all these points, while the DHCNDIAS would accept no images wluatever. At present, I am going to speak principally about the Digambar's; yet thcie is very little in the following that is contrary to the doctrines of the other sections. There are Seven Principles of Jain religion, The seven namely, [1] Jeera or Life [2] Ajicera Irinciples. or matter [3] Asrara or the path of karm [4] Brdha or the bandage of k'arın [5]. Sanear or the prevention of Asrara, [6] Nirjaru or the partial destruction of Karm and [7] Moksha or Total Deliverence.
