Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how jain appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Le prêtre jain nous la désigna comme étant celle du dieu ; les autres étaient les différentes formes qu'il avait revêtues, à diverses époques, dans les incarnations qu'il avait prises pour éclairer les hommes.
On comprend bien des choses si l'on sait que chacun de ces hommes devait être enterré selon les rites de sa bande, avec tout ce qu'il peut y avoir de prières : catholiques, juives, puritaines, presbytériennes, méthodistes, parsies, jaines, musulmanes.
