“Jeev” ka matlab to Jain dharm me aatma / living being (जीव) hota hai. Lekin “Hulkarmi jeev” aisa exact shabd main ko kisi pramukh Jain granth (जैन आगम / तत्त्वार्थसूत्र आद‍ि) me nahin milta.

Isliye do baat sambhav hain:

1. Galat-suni ya bolchal ka shabd

- Ho sakta hai aapne kisi pravachan ya lok-bhasha me suna ho, jahan - “हल (या स्थूल) कर्मी जीव” ka matlab liya gaya ho – yaani jo jeev bahut स्थूल (gross) shareer wale hain, dikhai dene wale hain, aur bhari karmo se bandh gaye hain. - Aisa prayog kabhi-kabhi vyakhyakar apne shabdo me karte hain, par ye mool shastriya term (technical term) nahin hai.

1. Kisi doosre sahi shabd se milta-julta

Jain dharm me karm aur jeev se jude kuch pramukh shabd hain, jaise: - Jeev – aatma, jisme chetna hai - Ajiv – jisme chetna nahin - Nigod jeev – sabse nichla, sukshm jeev - Ekendriya–Panchendriya jeev – indriyo ke hisaab se - Karm ke bahut prakaar – gyanavarniya, darshanavarniya, mohaniya, adi

“Hulkarmi jeev” inme se koi standard shastriya term nahin lagta.

Isliye seedha, surakshit jawab:

• Jain dharm me “Hulkarmi jeev” naam ka prasiddh, shastriya shabd nahin hai.
• Agar ye kisi vishesh pravachan, pustak ya local bhasha ka shabd hai,

to uska sahi arth sirf usi sandarbh se pata chal sakta hai.

Agar aapka uddeshya “karm se bandhe hue jeev” ka arth lena hai, to Jain siddhant me use general roop se “samsari jeev” / “bandh jeev” kaha jata hai – yaani jo aatma karmo se bandhi hui hai aur janm–mrityu ke chakra me ghoom rahi hai.
