    Explanation:

    Three general principles (ratnas) which define Jain life are right faith, right knowledge and right action.
    Five principles of conduct include:
    1) Ahimsa – non-violence in all parts of a person and to all living things so as to avoid negative karma.
    2) Satya – speaking truth, avoiding falsehood;
    3) Asteya – prohibition against stealing;
    4) Brahma-charya – “conduct of the soul” which involves monogamous fidelity to one’s spouse;
    5) Aparigraha – fostering a healthy sense of detachment from material things, people and places. The brahmacharya was added by Lord Mahavira.
