Explanation

• Like the Charvakas, the Jains too do not believe in the Vedas, but they admit the existence of a soul. They also agree with the orthodox tradition that suffering (pain) can be stopped by controlling the mind and by seeking right knowledge and perception, and by observing the right conduct.

• The Jaina philosophy was first propounded by the Tirthankar Rishabha Deva. The names of Ajit Nath and Aristanemi are also mentioned with Rishabha Deva. There were twenty-four Tirthankaras, who actually established the Jaina darshan.

• Yoga literally means the union of the two principal entities. The origin of yoga is found in the Yogasutra of Patanjali, believed to have been written in the second century B.C. By purifying and controlling changes in the mental mechanism, Yoga systematically brings about the release of Purusha from Prakriti. Yogic techniques control the body, mind and sense organs. Thus, this philosophy is also considered a means of achieving freedom or Mukti.
