Rushabhdev Bhagwan (Rishabhdev / Adinath) ke sambandh me “72 kalā” se arth hai – un 72 kalaaon (kala/vidyā/kaushal) ka samūh jo unhone purushon (mardon) ko sikhāyā. Striyon ke liye alag se 64 kalā ka varnan miltā hai.

Mukhya baat

Jain paramparā ke anusār:

• Rushabhdev Bhagwan ne samājik jeevan ko sahi disha dene ke liye

- Purushon ko – 72 kalā - Striyon ko – 64 kalā sikhāyī.

• In kalāon me samāny roop se shāmil hain:

- Krishi (agriculture) - Vāṇijya (vyapar / commerce) - Asi–masi (hathiyar chalānā, likhāī-padhāī) - Silpa (nirman, vaastu, moortikala, kala-koushal) - Sangīt, nritya, chitrakala, ityādi

• Unki do prasiddh putriyon ka ullekh aata hai:

- Brahmī – lipi / bhāṣā (lekhan–paddhati) - Sundarī – gaṇit (mathematics, gananā vidyā)

Yah sab batātā hai ki Rushabhdev ne keval dharm hi nahi, balki sampoorṇ sabhyatā aur jeevan-krama ko bhi sthāpit kiya.

72 kalā ki soochi ke baare me

• Alag–alag Jain granthon, aur Digambar–Shvetāmbar dono paramparāon me

72 kalāon ki exact list (naam–dar–naam) thodi alag miltī hai.

• Isliye:

- Koi ek “sarvatr svikrut” fixed list sabhi granthon me ek jaisi nahi milti. - Lekin sab ka mool sandesh yahī hai ki Bhagwan ne jeevan ke sabhī aavashyak kaushalon ka vyavsthā-purvak vikas karāyā.

Is vishay par saral Jain dharmik roop se aur adhik padhne ke liye aap yahān dekh sakte hain

Yadi aapko vyavahārik roop se samajhna ho, to yaad rakhen:

• 72 kalā = purushon ke liye vistar se sabhi sharirik, mānasik, samājik, arthik aur kalātmak kaushal
• 64 kalā = striyon ke liye vishesh rūp se grihasth, saundarya, sangīt, kala, vyavahār se judi kalaaen

Dono ka uddeshya: “Jeevan ko vyavasthit, anushāsit aur dharmādhārit banāna, tāki ādhyātmik unnati ke liye uchit parisar tayyār ho.”
