Jain dharm ke hisaab se:

“Jo pani mein janam leta hai aur pani mein hi khatam ho jata hai” aise jeev ko hum “jal-kayik ekindriya jeev” kehte hain.

1. Ye kaunse jeev hote hain?

- Bahut sukshma jeev jo sirf sparsh indriya (sparsh ki ichchha / anubhav) rakhte hain. - Ye poore jeev ka sharir hi jal (pani) se bana hua maana jata hai. - Ye janam bhi pani mein lete hain, rehna bhi pani mein hi hota hai, aur mrityu bhi pani mein hi hoti hai.

1. Jain shastra mein inki ginti kaise hai?

- Inhe ekindriya jeev (ek indriya wale) ke antaragat rakha gaya hai. - Ekindriya jeev पाँच prakaar ke bataye gaye hain: - पृथ्वी-कायिक (mitti, pathar adi mein jeev) - अप-कायिक / जल-कायिक (pani ke jeev) - तेज-कायिक (agni ke jeev) - वायु-कायिक (hawa ke jeev) - वनस्पति-कायिक (paudhon ke jeev)

1. Vyavahar mein iska kya arth hua?

- Pani mein anant sukshma jeev hote hain jo humein dikhaayi bhi nahi dete. - Isi liye Jain dharm mein pani ko chhan kar, sankaadi kar ke istemal karne ki parampara hai, taaki in sukshma jeevon ki himsa kam se kam ho.

Saral bhaasha mein: Jin jeevon ka janm se lekar mrityu tak pura jeevan pani mein hi bit-ta hai, unhe Jain dharm jal-kayik ekindriya jeev ke roop mein maanta hai, aur unki bhi poori raksha aur ahimsa ka dhyan rakhna Jain dharm ka mahatvapurn niyam hai.
