In Jainism, Ambika (Sanskrit: अम्बिका, Odia: ଅମ୍ବିକା Ambikā "Mother") or Ambika Devi (अम्बिका देवी Ambikā Devī "the Goddess-Mother") is the Yakṣi "dedicated attendant deity" or Śāsana Devī "protector goddess" of the 22nd Tirthankara, Neminatha. She is also known as Ambai, Amba, Kushmandini and Amra Kushmandini. She is often shown with one or more children and often under a tree. She is frequently represented as a pair (Yaksha Sarvanubhuti on the right and Kushmandini on the left) with a small Tirthankar image on the top. The name ambika literally means mother, hence she is Mother Goddess. The name is also a common epithet of Hindu Goddess Parvati.

  • Ambika (sanskrit: अम्बिका) est un Être céleste féminin du jaïnisme. Son nom veut dire: Mère. Elle est une yaksi: un être protecteur des temps antiques, principalement pour le vingt-deuxième Maître éveillé le Tirthankara Neminath. Elle serait une déité protectrice de la famille; elle est souvent représentée avec deux de ses fils. Les temples majeurs en Inde à l'heure actuelle où elle est vénérée sont: le temple Shri Neminath à Santhu près de Bagra dans le district de Jalore au Rajasthan; le temple Shri Kuladevi Ambikadevi, à Takhatgarh dans le quartier Pali, toujours au Rajasthan; et le temple Shri Kuladevi Ambikadevi à Padarli dans le même état. Ses temples portent souvent le nom de Shri Devi Ambika; cependant un autre nom de Ambika est Amra Kusmandini. (fr)
