In Jain philosophy, once a jiv truly attains samyaktva (samyak darshan – right faith), its journey to moksh is definitely limited – it cannot go on endlessly.

There are two main points to understand:

1. From samyaktva onward, moksh is certain (for a bhavya jiv)

- A bhavya jiv is one that is capable of liberation. - If such a jiv attains true samyaktva (not just temporary emotional faith), then sooner or later, in a finite number of future bhavs, it will definitely reach moksh. - It may fall from samyaktva temporarily (if it is asaṃyag‑mithyādṛṣṭi or miśra‑dṛṣṭi type), but the overall journey is now bounded, not infinite.

1. Exact “minimum–maximum bhav” count is not given as a fixed universal number in Agams

- Scriptures clearly say: from samyak darshan onwards, there is a limit on how many births are left – but they do not state one single numeric rule like “minimum 3, maximum 15 bhav for all jivs” that applies to every case. - The remaining bhavs depend on: - Which gunasthanak (spiritual stage) samyaktva arose in - How strong the kashays (passions) still are - What kind of bandh (karmic bondage) has already been created - So you will find stories of: - Some souls getting moksh in the same bhav after samyaktva (e.g., many kevali munis) - Some in 1 more bhav, 2–3 bhav, 7 bhav, etc., depending on their individual karmic situation and scriptural story.

Simple summary

• Minimum:

If samyaktva arises at a very high level (e.g., close to keval‑jnan), the jiv can get moksh in the same bhav – that is the absolute minimum.

• Maximum (general principle):

For a bhavya jiv who has once attained true samyaktva, the remaining births are finite and limited, but Jain Agams do not prescribe one fixed universal “maximum bhav” number for all such jivs. Different traditional kathas (stories) give different numbers for individual souls, but those are case‑specific, not a general law.

So, in pure doctrinal language:

• Samyag‑dṛṣṭi bhavya jiv = moksh is niścita (certain) in a finite number of future bhavs.
• Exact minimum–maximum count, as a single formula for all such jivs, is not explicitly fixed in the primary Jain scriptures.
