is there anybody else who Kevalgyan in grahasta dasha
In Jain philosophy, Kevalgyan (omniscience) is almost always attained after taking diksha (becoming a sadhu/sadhvi), not while remaining a normal grihastha (householder).
So, about your question:
> “Is there anybody who got Kevalgyan in grihastha dasha (householder stage)?”
1. General Jain siddhānt
- To get Kevalgyan, a soul must completely destroy the four ghāti karmas.
- Practically, this level of purity is achieved after full renunciation – i.e., in the state of muni / aryika / sadhvi, not while living an ordinary married family life.
- Therefore, all 24 Tirthankars of this avasarpini, and famous Kevalis like Gautam Swami, etc., attained Kevalgyan after diksha, not as grihastha.
2. Special cases sometimes mentioned
In Jain kathā and vartās you will read:
- Some kings, queens, or rich householders (like King Suvrat, in the Maun Ekadashi story) are described as:
- But if you read carefully, the final state of Kevalgyan is either:
So, these are not examples of a normal grihasthi, enjoying regular household life and suddenly getting Kevalgyan.
You can read about such stories here and about King Suvrat and his family’s Kevalgyan in the Maun Ekadashi article
3. Conclusion in simple words
- No example in Jain siddhānt of someone remaining a regular grihastha (with full household lifestyle, possessions, attachments) and still attaining Kevalgyan.
- Whenever Kevalgyan is attained, the person is in a state of complete inner and outer renunciation – effectively no longer a worldly grihastha, even if the story still refers to them by their old title (king, etc.).
So, according to traditional Jain understanding: Kevalgyan and “true” grihastha dasha do not coexist.
