Jain dharm me Gyan (Jñān) ke 5 mukhya prakar bataye gaye hain, jinhe Panch-Gyan kehte hain:

1. Mati Gyan (मति ज्ञान)

- Indriyo aur mann ke dwara milne wala gyan - Jaise dekhna, sunna, soch‑vichar, yaad rakhna, tark karna, anuman lagana

1. Shruta Gyan (श्रुत ज्ञान)

- Shastro, guru, vachano, grantho se milne wala gyan - Sun kar, padh kar, adhyayan se jo gyan milta hai

1. Avadhi Gyan (अवधि ज्ञान)

- Door ki ya chhipe hue padartho ka gyan, bina indriya ke - Isme seema hoti hai – kitni door tak ya kitne padarth ka gyan ho sakta hai

1. Manahparyaya Gyan (मनःपर्यय ज्ञान)

- Dusro ke mann ke vicharo ka seedha gyan - Bahut unnat sadhako me hota hai, aam logon me nahi

1. Keval Gyan (केवल ज्ञान)

- Anant, poorn, sab kuchh ka gyan – past, present, future - Ye sirf Arihant / Siddh Bhagwan ko hota hai, jab sab gyan‑avarniya karm nash ho jate hain
