Incarnation
CRITICAL: NEVER અવતાર — especially salient in Gujarat, home to Dwarka, Krishna’s Vaishnav capital, where avatar theology is an everyday devotional reference point. Jain hearers, by contrast, have no incarnation concept at all since Jainism admits no creator God, so the doctrine must be built from first principles for them rather than merely corrected.
