Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Jain monks, after positioning themselves in the sublime state of soul consciousness, take five main vows: ahiṃsā (non-violence), satya (truth), asteya (not stealing), brahmacharya (chastity), and aparigraha (non-possessiveness).
Detailed explanation-2: -Five fundamental vows are prescribed for both votaries. These vows are observed by śrāvakas (householders) partially and are termed as anuvratas (small vows). Ascetics observe these fives vows more strictly and therefore observe complete abstinence.
Detailed explanation-3: -The three guiding principles of Jainism, the ‘three jewels’, are right belief, right knowledge and right conduct.
