Mahavrata Virtues records the five great vows Jain ascetics undertake in full and lay Jains observe in a lesser form, headed by ahimsa, nonviolence, which Jain ethics treats as the foundation the other four vows protect rather than as one virtue among equals. Unlike the cardinal or theological virtues catalogued elsewhere in this section, these are vows taken and kept rather than qualities simply praised, a distinction that matters to how Jainism itself frames them.
