Jinke sirf 4 karma bache hote hain, unhe Jain dharm me Kevalī ya Arihant kaha jata hai.

Thoda sa spasht roop me:

• Jab 4 ghātiyā karma (jo ātmā ke gun ko dhak dete hain) poori tarah nasht ho jate hain:

1. Jñānāvaraṇīya – gyan ko dhakne wala 2. Darśanāvaraṇīya – darshan/intuition ko dhakne wala 3. Mohanīya – moha, raga–dvesha paida karne wala 4. Antarāya – shubh kriyāo me badhā daalne wala

tab ātmā ko keval-jñān (sarvagyata) milti hai, aur vah Arihant/Kevalī ban jati hai.

• Is avasthā me ab sirf 4 aghātiyā karma bache rehte hain:

- Vedanīya (sukh–dukh ka anubhav) - Nāma (śarīr, rūp, aadi) - Gotra (ūnch–nīch kul, mān–samman) - Āyuṣya (jis gati ka āyu karma bandha hai)

In 4 karmo ke sāth jo Kevalī shareer me updesh dete hain, unhe khaas taur par Sayogī Kevalī kaha jata hai. Jab ye 4 aghātiyā karma bhi chhoot jate hain, to vah ātmā Siddha ban kar moksha (siddha-śilā) par chali jati hai.
