Samavasaraṇa
समवसरण
The assembly a Tīrthaṅkara preaches in, and the twelve companies that sit in it.
When a Tīrthaṅkara attains omniscience the gods raise a Samavasaraṇa — three ramparts of silver, gold and jewels, twelve companies seated by direction, and every kind of being admitted. Four of the twelve scripture counts exactly; the other eight it calls innumerable, which in this tradition is a located category rather than a refusal to answer. Follows the Śvetāmbara reckoning throughout.
All of it is also walkable as an interactive atlas of nested maps.
