Shrutkevali (श्रुतकेवली) means “one who has become omniscient by hearing.” In Jainism, it refers to a person who attains kevala jnana (supreme, all-knowing wisdom) through the process of listening to the taught truths—i.e., through the Shrut (scriptural/hearing) path, often in the company of a Tirthankara or an enlightened teacher.

Key points:

• Shrutkevali denotes omniscience attained via hearing scriptural truths.
• It is one of the traditional classifications related to how kevala jnana can be realized.
• Differences between Digambara and Śvetāmbara perspectives may exist in how they describe or emphasize the paths to kevala jnana, but the core idea remains: Shrutkevali = omniscience achieved through Shrut (hearing).
