थोडक्यात उत्तर
उत्तर
In course of time, Jainism split into two branches, namely the Digambaras and the Svetambaras.
- Digambaras (Sky-clad) were the orthodox followers of Mahavira and adhered to Mahavira’s principles.
- Svetambaras (white-clad) – They wore a white dress from head to toe.
The lack of royal patronage, its severity, factionalism, and spread of Buddhism paved the way for the decline of Jainism.
