“84 lakh yoni” ka matlab Jain dharm mein hai – 84 lakh tarah ke janm‑sthan / womb / life‑forms, jahan jīva (soul) apne karmo ke anusār janm le sakti hai.

Yoni ka arth

• “Yoni” = janm lene ki jagah ya roop (birth-place / species / form of existence).
• Har alag prakār ka shareer, roop, gun, indriya adi milkar ek alag yoni banti hai.

4 mukhya shreṇiyā̃ (gati / yoni ke vishāl varg) Jain darshan mein sab jīvo ke janm ko motā‑motī 4 gatiyon mein rakha jātā hai:

1. Dev yoni – dev / swarg ke jīva
2. Manushya yoni – insān
3. Tiryanch yoni – pashu‑pakshi, keet‑patang, vanaspati, सूक्ष्म jīv ādi
4. Narak yoni – naraki jīva (narak mein janm)

In sab ke andar anek‑anek prakar ke jīv aur sharīr hain – inhi sabko milākar “84 lakh yoni” kaha jātā hai. Ye sankhyā jīva ke bhatkne ke bahut hi vishāl, apar rūp ko dikhāti hai.

Digambar aur Shvetāmbara dono mein

• Dono paramparāon mein 84 lakh yoni ka siddhānt hai.
• Detail list / exact categorisation thodā alag ho sakta hai, lekin mukhya arth same hai – jīva karmo ke kāraṇ anant kal se in anek janm‑roopo mein ghoom rahā hai.

Is updesh ka tattvārth

• Manushya janm bahut durlabh hai – ismein hi samyak darshan, samyak jñān, samyak chāritra se moksh sambhav hai.
• Agar is janm ko dharm, ahimsā, saiyam ke bina nikal diya, to phir phir se in 84 lakh yoni mein dukh‑bhare janm mil sakte hain.
