List 14 lakh Manushya yoni
In Jain scriptures, “14 lakh manushya‑yoni” does not mean there is a written list of 14,00,000 separate human names or species.
It means:
- In the Saat Laakh Sutra, total 84 lakh jiva‑yoni (birth‑places / forms of life) are mentioned.
- Out of these, 14 lakh (1,400,000) are human births (manushya‑yoni).
- This number covers all kinds of human births:
- Humans are only garbhaja (born from a womb); there is no sammūrchchhan (spontaneous) birth for humans in Jainism.
So:
- Both Shvetambar and Digambar traditions accept the number “14 lakh manushya‑yoni” as part of the 84 lakh jiva‑yoni.
- No Jain Agam or later text gives a full item‑by‑item list of all 14,00,000 manushya‑yoni. The number is a cosmic count, not a catalogue.
The Saat Laakh Sutra line is:
> “चौदह लाख मनुष्य, इस तरह चौरासी लाख जीव-योनि…” > “Fourteen lakh humans; in this way (there are) eighty‑four lakh jiva‑yoni…”
