Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsNānāgati (नानागति) refers to the “different paths (for living beings)”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “[com.—Next he speaks about the different path(s) (nānāgatim) for living beings (jīvānāṃ)]—Those who were born as enemies [in a life] previously indeed become your friends whose friendship is fixed in this life on account of the power of fate”.
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, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
