Kevalgyan (Keval Jnana) in Jainism means omniscient knowledge. It is the complete, perfect knowledge of all substances (dravya), all their qualities and modes, in all times and places. It is not ordinary sensory or partial knowledge; it is total and uninterrupted understanding of everything as it truly is.

Key points:

• Keval Jnana is attained by a liberated or enlightened being (such as a Tirthankara or Arihant) after all karmic obstructions are removed.
• It reveals all true realities: souls, materials, and the laws that govern them—without any distortion from senses or karmic passions.
• It is often contrasted with ordinary knowledge (which is limited by perception, memory, and karma) and with partial or wrong views.
• There is a lot of literary and doctrinal detail about how keval jnana functions and how it relates to other forms of knowledge in Jain philosophy, and slight wording can differ between Digambar and Śvetambar sources. But the core idea remains: keval jnana is the complete, infinite knowledge of the soul and the universe.

If you’d like, I can share a concise quote from Jain scriptures and explain its exact meaning in Digambara and Śvetāmbara perspectives.
