What gyaan Naraki can have
In Jainism, "Narakis" are beings who reside in the hellish realms, known as "Naraka." The type and extent of knowledge (gyaan) available to Narakis is described in Jain scriptures.
According to Jain philosophy, there are five main types of knowledge (pañca jñāna):
- Mati Jnana (sensory knowledge)
- Shruta Jnana (scriptural or verbal knowledge)
- Avadhi Jnana (clairvoyant knowledge)
- Manahparyaya Jnana (telepathic knowledge)
- Kevala Jnana (omniscience)
For beings in Naraka:
- Narakis possess only the first two types of knowledge: Mati Jnana and Shruta Jnana.
- Narakis do not possess Avadhi Jnana, Manahparyaya Jnana, or Kevala Jnana.
- Their knowledge is also considered to be obscured and limited due to their severe suffering and karmic bondage.

Summary: Narakis can have only Mati Jnana and Shruta Jnana, and their knowledge is limited by their karmic state and environment.
