Sanchit gyan (sanchit jnana) ka arth hai “jama hua gyaan” yaani purani janmon se atma me jama hua, stith ya latent gyaan jo ab turant pratyaksh roop se mehsoos nahi hota, lekin shuddhi ke saath ubhar sakta hai. Jain dharma me is tarah ke gyaan ko aam taur par “sanchit karm” ya karmic upcharan ke roop me samjha jaata hai—jo atma par purane janmon ki vibhinn pravrittiyon ke roop me sthapit hota hai, aur jeev ke aage chal kar anumodit ya pratyaksh gyaan ke roop me prakat ho sakta hai.

Khususiyataan:

• Sanchit gyan ko aam taur par Digambar ya Shwetambar sampradayo me nirnayak roop se alag tarah se vyakhya kiya ja sakta hai, lekin mool vichar yahi hai ki yeh purane janmon ka jama hua gyaan ya prabhav hai jo atma ke liye latent hota hai.
• Iske vipreet “aparoksha jnana” (pratyaksh na hone par bhi samvedan aur shrut ke madhyam se milne wala jnana) aur “paroksha jnana” (shruti, shastraadi se prapt jnana) hote hain.
