    Yeah, but Adinath Bhagwan, he teaches us the 72 kalas of Purush and 64 kalas of Mahila, so give me all kalas which Lord Adinath teached us

    Adinath (Rishabhanath) is said in Jain tradition to have revealed two sets of kalās (arts/skills):

    • 72 kalās for Purush (men)
    • 64 kalās for Mahila (women)

    These numbers appear in traditional Jain narratives and are commonly cited in Jain communities, with the understanding that the exact names or categories can vary a bit between Digambar and Shwetambar traditions. You can read a summary of this teaching on JainKnowledge here .

    Notes for clarity:

    • The core idea is that Lord Adinath imparted a broad set of arts/skills to both men and women, tailored to their respective societal roles.
    • The specific lists or names of all 72 kalās or 64 kalās are given in various Jain texts and retellings, and there are minor variations between traditions.
    • If you want, I can help locate a Digambar vs. Shwetambar distinction in specific subtexts, or summarize how each tradition lists or interprets these kalās.

    You can read more on the same topic at the JainKnowledge page linked above.
