    72 arts for men and 64 crafts for women by Rishabh Nath

    11 months ago 157

    According to Jain tradition, Lord Rishabhanath (Rushabhdev) is said to have taught 72 arts to men and 64 arts to women. This division is part of the srishti of social knowledge in many Jain narratives, and his daughters Brahmi and Sundari are cited as being connected to language scripts and mathematics, respectively. You can read a concise description here:

    Notes:

    • Some traditions and texts mention slight variations in the lists of arts, but the general principle is that both men and women received a structured set of arts and sciences, with a traditional split (72 for men, 64 for women).
    • There isn’t a separate, universally fixed list that is identical across all Digambar and Shwetambar sources; both sects acknowledge the framework of Rishabhanath imparting broad arts and crafts to society.

    If you’d like, I can summarize the commonly cited categories from reliable Jain sources.
