Arihant ( ''arihant'', (サンスクリット:अर्हत) ''árhat'' "conqueror"), also called Jina, is a human being who has conquered inner passions such as attachment, anger, pride and greed. Arihants destroy all four ''gathi'' karmas and live until they attain ''moksha'' and achieve the ''siddha'' status. Arihant are also called ''kevalins'' (omniscient beings) as they possess Kevala Jnana (pure infinite knowledge). The Ṇnamōkāra mantra, fundamental prayer of the Jains begin with, ''Ṇnamō arihantāṇnamṁ''--"Obeisance to the Arihantās". Arihants are said to be of two kinds- #''Sāmānya kevali''- Arihantas who are concerned with their own liberation. #''Tirthankara kevali''- 24 human spiritual guides who after becoming arihant show other humans the true path to salvation. == Tirthankaras == (詳細はsangha, the four-fold order consisting of male saints (sādhus), female saints (''sādhvi''s), male householders (Śrāvakas) and female householders (''Śrāvika''s). According to Jain cosmology, during every half-cycle of time, twenty-four humans rise to the level of Tirthankara. The first Tirthankara of the current time cycle was R̥ṣabhadēva, and the twenty-fourth and last Tirthankara was Mahavira, who lived from 599 BCE to 527 BCE. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arihant (Jainism)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
