Jainism ke anusar, kevalgyan (केवलज्ञान) yaani perfect knowledge (omniscience) prapt karne wale vyakti ko kevali (केवली) kaha jata hai. Kevalgyan prapt karne wale mukhyataya chhabbis (26) Tirthankar hue hain, jinmein aakhri Tirthankar Bhagwan Mahavir Swami hain.

Jain dharm ke anusar, chhabbis Tirthankaron ke alawa bhi anek aise sadhak hue hain jinhone apne karmo ka kshay kar ke kevalgyan prapt kiya. Inmein se kuch prasiddh kevali purushon ke naam hain:

2. Ajitnath
3. Sambhavnath
4. Abhinandan Swami
5. Sumatinath
6. Padmaprabhu

In Tirthankaron ke alawa bhi kai shravak, shravika, sadhu aur sadhviyon ne bhi moksha prapt karne se pahle kevalgyan prapt kiya tha.

Kevalgyan paana Jain dharm mein atishay mahatvapurn hai, kyunki yahi moksha ka antim kadam hai.
