Explanation:

According to Jainism, asceticism and penance are required to free oneself from the cycle of karma. This can be achieved only by renouncing the world; therefore, monastic existence is a necessary condition of salvation. The three jewels in Jainism are Right faith, Right knowledge and Right action. Mahavira accepted mostly the religious doctrines of Parshva but certainly made some alterations and fifth doctrine of Jainism, Brahmacharya (celibacy) was added by Mahavira.
