Garbha (garbh-janma) ka arth Jain dharm mein “garbh” ya garbh-janm (conception) se hai. Tattvartha Sutra 2.33 ke anusaar garbh-janma teen prakaar ka hota hai:

• jarāyuja (umilbal ya membranous covering ke saath)
• aṇḍaja (andā ya ande se utpann)
• potaja (bina covering ke janm, turant chalne wala)

In teeno tarah ke garbh-janma un jivon ko hote hain jo 9 yoniyon mein aate hain. Iska matlab hai ki bahut se jiv garbh ke samay hi alag-alag roopon mein janm lete hain, aur yah Jain karm-gyan ka ek mool bhaag hai. Ye vishay Panch Kalyanak mein bhi samjhaaya jaata hai: Garbha Kalyanak (garbh), Janma Kalyanak (janm), Diksha, Kevaljnan, aur Nirvana. Kuch traditions (Digambar/Śvetāmbara) is garbh-kalyanak ki kahaniyon ke vividh pehluon par thode bahut alag vyakhya rakhte hain, jaise kalpana-janit embrayo transfer ki kaha jaati hai ya nahi.

Note: Garbh-janma ki samajh Digambar aur Śvetāmbara mein kuch vividh roop le sakti hai, par mool tatv ki dharna (garbh ka avastha se Tirthankar ki aavahan) sabhi mein sahi hai.
