Ratnatraya (Three Jewels)
(सम्यक् रत्नत्रय)Literal Meaning
The Three Jewels
Etymology & Sanskrit Root
From 'ratna' (jewel) + 'traya' (three) — the union of Right Faith (Samyak Darshan), Right Knowledge (Samyak Jnana), and Right Conduct (Samyak Charitra).
Spiritual Insight & Context
According to Jainism, liberation requires all three jewels together — faith alone, knowledge alone, or conduct alone is insufficient without the other two.
