Jainism ke anusar, Arihant Bhagwan chhattis (36) prakaar ke doshon se rahit hote hain. Arihant woh Atma hai jinhone samast karmon ka kshay (destruction) karke Kevalgyan (omniscience) prapt kiya hota hai. Inmein chhattis doshon ka abhaav hota hai, jaise—raag, dvesh, krodh, maan, maya, lobh, moha, irshya, kapat, asatya, chori, ahinsa ka ullanghan, and anya ashubh bhavnaayein.

In doshon se mukta hone par hi koi Atma Arihant kehlati hai. Arihant Bhagwan sarvashaktimaan, sarvadarshi aur sarvagya hote hain, aur unka jeevan sarvatha pavitra, nirdosh aur ahinsak hota hai.
