Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. not to kill (non-injury)
The five vows (Panch Anuvratas) of Jainism are:
- Ahimsa: non-violence or non-injury to any living being.
- Satya: truthfulness.
- Asteya: non-stealing.
- Brahmacharya: celibacy or chastity.
- Aparigraha: non-possession or non-attachment to worldly things.
Of these, the vow of non-violence was added by Mahavira. The other four vows existed before him.
Mahavira was a 6th-century BCE Indian philosopher and reformer who founded Jainism. He is considered the 24th Tirthankara, or spiritual teacher, of Jainism.
Mahavira’s teachings emphasize the importance of non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, celibacy, and non-possession. He taught that these vows are essential for achieving liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
Mahavira’s teachings have had a profound impact on Jainism and have influenced the development of other religions, such as Buddhism.
