• Jamism taught five doctrines: o do not commit violence o do not speak a lie o do not steal o do not acquire property o observe contwence (brahmacharya) ? It is said that only the fifth doctrine was added by Mahavira, the other four being taken over by him from previous teachers. • Jainism recognized the existence of the gods but placed them lower than the jina. Hence statement 1 is not correct. • It did not condemn the varna system, as Buddhism did. Hence statement 2 is not correct. • According to Mahavira, a person is born in a high or in a lower varna is consequence of the sins or the virtues acquired by him in the previous birth. Mahavira looks for human values even in a chandala. In his opinion through pure and meritorious life members of the lower castes can attain liberation. • Jainism mainly aims at the attainment of freedom from worldly bonds. It is not necessary to use any ritual for acquiring such liberation. It can be obtained through full knowledge and action. Full knowledge, action and liberation are considered to be the three gems or ratnas of Jaimsm. Hence statement 3 is correct. • In order to spread the teachings of Jainism, Mahavira organized an order of his followers that admitted both men and women.
