Classical Indian Epistemology and Metaphysics MCQ Questions and Answers

The concept of "Atma is dehaparnimana" refers to the idea that the self (Atma) is identical to the body (Deha). This idea is upheld by the Jaina school of philosophy.

In Jainism, the concept of the self is intricately linked with the body, and the realization of the true nature of the self involves transcending the identification with the physical form. Jainism emphasizes the liberation of the soul (Atma) from the cycle of birth and death (samsara) through spiritual practices such as non-violence (ahimsa), truthfulness (satya), and non-attachment (aparigraha).

Therefore, Option D correctly identifies the school of philosophy that upholds the idea of "Atma is dehaparnimana" as the Jaina school.
