Question

A revival movement within this sect that advocates distinguishing between the “true pure knowledge self” and “the other” as a path to enlightenment was founded by Kanji Swami. A town central to this sect contains the 57-foot-tall Gommeteshwara statue, which is bathed in milk during a festival that takes place every 12 years. The Ādipurāṇa, an epic written by a member of this sect, describes the life of Bahubali, (-5[1])whom this sect credits as being the (10[1])first in the present age (10[1])to achieve enlightenment. (10[1])Followers of this sect believe that Mallinātha was male (10[1])since they teach that (10[1])no woman can (10[1])attain (10[2])moksha. (10[4])Monks from this sect (10[1])renounce almost all (10[1])their (10[1])possessions, (-5[1])only keeping a pot to boil water (10[2])and a whisk broom to sweep away insects. For (-5[1])10 points, name this sect in Jainism whose monks go (10[1])about naked, (10[2])in contrast to those of the Shvētāmbara (“shweh-TUM-buh-ruh”), or white-clad, (10[1])sect. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: Digambaras (“dig-UM-buh-ruhs”) [or sky-clad; prompt on Jainism, Jains, Jaina, or Jain Dharma until “Jainism” is read]
