In [[Jainism]], '''Jinvani''' means the message or the teachings of the Jina (''arihant'').<ref>{{citation |title=Universal Message of Jainism|date=1998|p=xi-xii|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2FQvAAAAYAAJ|accessdate=7 September 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.merinews.com/mobile/article/India/2015/05/19/jaipur-gets-ready-for-shrut-panchami-mahaparva/15906541|title=Jaipur gets ready for Shrut Panchami Mahaparva - merinews Mobile|work=merinews.com}}</ref><ref>{{citation |url=http://www.jainsamaj.org/rpg_site/literature2.php?id=686&cat=42|title=on www.jainsamaj.org ( Jainism, Ahimsa News, Religion, Non-Violence, Culture, Vegetarianism, Meditation, India. )|work=jainsamaj.org}}</ref> It is made up of two words ''Jina'' ([[Arihant (Jainism)|arihant]]) and ''Vani'' (voice). Often the words are spelled out separately or put together as "Jinavani" in publications.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jinavani|url=https://www.google.com/search?q=jinavani&tbm=bks|website=Book Search|accessdate=3 December 2017}}</ref> It is depicted in various forms, such as "Jinwani" which may be a [[Stotra|hymn]] (or a village in India, by coincidence), and is also personified as ''Jinvani Maa'' (Mother Jinvani). The omniscient form of Jina-Vani (relative to [[Kevala Jnana]]) is said to be a letterless speech, when emanating from an arihant, which is understandable by all present, in their own language, as it is transformed into lettered discourse.<ref>{{cite web|title=Atmanushasana (Discourse to the Soul)|url=http://www.jaindharmonline.com/litera/atmanu2.htm|website=Jain Dharma|accessdate=3 December 2017}}</ref> In literature, discourses of the tirthankara (or [[Bhagavan|jineshwar]]) are generally referred to as Jinvani (or Jin-Vaani), as well as Srutu [[Jnana]] (or Shrut Jnana), meaning scriptural knowledge.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jin-Vaani|url=http://jainismsimplified.blogspot.com/2014/07/jin-vaani-introduction.html|website=Jainism Simplified|accessdate=3 December 2017}}</ref><br />

==Depiction==<br />
There is a statue of [[Saraswati|Saraswati Devi]], goddess of knowledge, having Jinvani in her hand on Lotus behind the Peacock in the [[Shantinath Jain Teerth]]. Likewise, she may be referred to as ''Jinavani'', for presiding over Jaina scriptures.<ref>{{cite book|author=Vensus A.
