X is one of the five major vows prescribed for
the śrāvakā (layman) and ascetics in Jainism. For lay Jains
who are married, the virtue of X requires remaining sexually
faithful to one's chosen partner. For lay Jains who are
unmarried, chaste living requires them to avoid sex before
marriage. Uttam X (Supreme chastity) is one of the ten
excellencies of a Digambara monk. X is mentioned as one
of the das dharma (ten virtues) in ancient Jain texts
like Tattvarthasutra, Sarvārthasiddhi and
Puruşārthasiddhyupāya.
X is also a 1968 Indian Super-hit movie starring Shammi
Kapoor.
Identify X.

X has its origins as a commercial slogan
phrased in 1998 at JWT by Anuja Chauhan, by
fusing Hindusthani and English words
together. X soon gained mass popularity, and
became a battle slogan and rallying cry, first
used by Capt. Vikram Batra, an officer of
the Indian Army, during the 1999 Kargil
War after which the slogan gained enormous
popularity though people didn’t know about
Batra. Captain Batra who was killed during the
war cried out these words and so it became a
mantra before every battle thereafter in the war.
Id the slogan.

Apasmāra was a dwarf who represented ignorance
and epilepsy. He is also known as Muyalaka or
Muyalakan. In order to preserve knowledge in the
world, Apasmāra could not be killed; to do so would
throw out the balance of knowledge and ignorance,
as to kill Apasmāra would mean attaining
knowledge without effort, dedication and hard
work. Consequently, this would lead to the
devaluing of knowledge in all forms. Where have
we seen and ‘ignored’ Apasmara?

Buccaneers began operating under a set of rules

The initial name for this gladiatorial venue
was Amphitheatrum Flavium from Latin. Actors, the
grave diggers and former gladiators weren’t
permitted inside. The venue was flooded with water
sometimes so that historic naval battles could be
reconstructed for practice. Despite its brutal pagan
origins, it has been used as a worship space by
Christians over the centuries. The area beneath

The hypogeum consisted of two-level subterranean
network of tunnels and 32 animal pens. It had 80

In the 1700s, Europeans sold and bought it in
brown loafs that had to be chopped to use. One
day a young wife called Juliana Red cut her hand
while chopping it and complained to her husband.
The husband got an idea and set up a specialized
press from which he made a handful of lumped
ones, put them in the box and gave it to her. The
lady after using it excitedly said, “It’s so exact in
quantity. You’ll never need to chop again.” They
patented the specialized press and became rich.

It is believed that, like many Highland games
events, the origin of the X is tied to a prohibition
by King Edward I of England against Scotsmen
possessing weapons during the Wars of Scottish
Independence in the late 13th and early 14th
centuries. In the absence of weapons of war, the
Scots turned to alternative methods of military
training. Hence, a practice called ‘Coulter throw’
was started to strengthen ones arms which got it’s
current name X after some time though the sport
doesn’t exactly justify the current name

after X’s death. Which software?
