Here are the five main types of knowledge (jnana) in Jainism:

1) Mati jnana (sensory knowledge)

• Knowledge gained through the senses via perception and experience of the physical world.

2) Shruti jnana (scriptural/revealed knowledge)

• Knowledge acquired from scriptures, teachers, or reliable teachings heard and transmitted over time.

3) Avadhi jnana (clairvoyance)

• The ability to perceive distant or non-obvious objects and events, often described as inner vision.

4) Manah-paryaya jnana (mind-reading or telepathy)

• The capacity to know another’s thoughts or mental states.

5) Kevala jnana (omniscience)

• Absolute, perfect knowledge of all things, attained by a liberated soul; complete and infinite understanding.

Notes:

• These five are commonly taught as a progression from ordinary, experiential knowledge to perfect, universal knowledge.
• There are occasional differing emphases between Digambara and Śvetāmbara traditions on how these powers are described or classified, but the basic framework of Mati, Shruti, Avadhi, Manah-paryaya, and Kevala jnana is widely recognized.

If you’d like, I can provide brief scriptural references or traditional explanations for each jnana.
