annuttar vimman dev name
256
In Jainism, Anuttara Viman refers to the "highest celestial abodes" where the most elevated celestial beings (devas) reside before their final birth, which is often as a Tirthankara or a liberated soul. These are the top four heavens in the upper world (Urdhva Loka).
The names of the four Anuttara Vimans and their presiding deities (Indras) are:
- Sarvārthasiddhi Viman
- Indra: Sarvārthasiddhi
- Sudharma Viman
- Indra: Sudharma
- Sukra Viman
- Indra: Sukra
- Prānat Viman
- Indra: Prānat
These celestial beings (Anuttara Devs) are considered to have attained a very high level of spiritual merit and are believed to be in their last birth as celestial beings before attaining liberation (moksha) in their subsequent human birth.
