Panchindriya yaani paanch senses (sparsh, ras, gandh, roop, shabd) aur inke saath manas ya man. Jain dharma mein inka sanchalan (control) bahut mahatva rakhta hai. In senses ko sahi tarah samajhna, niyantrit karna aur pavitra bhav se dekhna hi moksh ki aur badhava deta hai.

• Jnanindriya (five knowledge organs): roop, gandh, shabd, ras, sparsh – inhe sahi aur sachhi jankari ke liye prapt kiya jata hai.
• Kriyaindriya (five vital organs of action): haath-pair, aadi shri kriyaon ko niyantrit karna, jisse ahankar, lobh, dwesh jaise karm-bandhan kam ho.

Mool arth:

• Panchindriya ko shant aur niyantrit rakhna mansik shuddhi ka pehla kadam hai.
• Inka atiyar se upyog ya atidurghat rahna karmabandh aur paap ko badhata hai; niyantran se keval shuddha bhav, samyak darshan aur moksh ki or agrasar hota hai.
• Digambar-Shwetambar dono sampradayon mein in senses ki sahi samajh aur niyantran ki mahatva ki vaakya milte hain; dono mein iska uddeshya atma ki moksh prapti ke marg ko prashast karna hai.

Aap chahein to main Panchindriya par Digambar aur Shwetambar ke vishesha arth (artha) ki tulna bhi seedhe buniyadi shlokon ke saath de sakti hoon.
