context information

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.

Yaśodeva (यशोदेव).—(1) name of a disciple of Buddha: Lalitavistara 1.8 (no v.l.). Evidently corresponds to Pali Yasa (Thera, 1 in Malalasekara (Dictionary of Pali Proper Names); compare Yaśas 1, Yaśoda), of Vin. i.15.1 ff., as is shown by the next four names in Lalitavistara, Vimala, Subāhu, Pūrṇa, and Gavāṃpati, who correspond to the four friends of Yasa named in Vin. i.18.36 f., Vimala, Subāhu, Puṇṇaji, and Gavampati. So also Sukhāvatīvyūha 2.3, followed by Vimala, Subāhu, and Pūrṇa (Maitrāyaṇīputra). (2) name of an upāsaka or lay-disciple, surely not the same as 1: Gaṇḍavyūha 51.10.
