meaning of saat lakh sutra

Scriptures 2 views Asked 24 August, 2025

Quick Answer

The provided context does not contain information about the meaning of "saat lakh sutra."

Detailed Answer

The term "saat lakh sutra" (literally "seven lakh sutras") is not explained or referenced in the given Jain literature database excerpts. The context includes references to various Jain sutras such as the Acaranga Sutra, Kalpa Sutra, Suyagaḍānga (Sūtrakṛtānga), and others, but none mention or define "saat lakh sutra." Without additional textual or traditional sources specifically addressing this term, its meaning cannot be determined from the current data.

In Jainism, sutras are concise aphoristic texts that form the basis of canonical scriptures, but the phrase "saat lakh sutra" might be a colloquial or symbolic expression rather than a canonical title. It could imply a vast number of teachings or sutras, but this is speculative without textual evidence.
