Nepali to English:
उच्चतम धार्मिक कर्तव्यका रूपमा अहिंसाको धार्मिक आधारलाई केही जैन विद्वानहरूद्वारा "अन्य प्राणीहरूलाई दान दिँदा अथवा सहानुभूति प्रदान गर्दा, अथवा सबै प्राणीहरूको उद्धार गर्ने कर्तव्यमा श्रेष्ठताद्वारा बहकनु" बाट टाढा रहनु, तर "निरन्तर आत्म-अनुशासन"बाट पारिणामिक हुनु, आत्माको सफाइ, जसले आफ्नै आध्यात्मिक विकास गराउँदछ, जसले अन्त्यतः निजको मोक्ष अनि पुनर्जन्मबाट मुक्तिमा प्रभाव पार्दछ भनी व्याख्या गरिएको छ।
The theological basis of non-violence as the highest religious duty has been interpreted by some Jain scholars not to "be driven by merit from giving or compassion to other creatures, nor a duty to rescue all creatures," but to result from "continual self-discipline," a cleansing of the soul that leads to one's own spiritual development, which ultimately affects one's salvation and release from rebirths.
