Here are the main common qualities (guṇas) of all 24 Jain Tirthankars. These apply equally to every Tirthankar; spiritually they are all the same, only names, times and stories differ.

1. Keval Jñān (Infinite Knowledge)

They have perfect, unlimited knowledge of all substances and all times. Nothing is hidden from their awareness.

2. Keval Darshan (Infinite Perception)

Their perception is complete and unobstructed – they “see” all realities directly, without any confusion or doubt.

3. Anant Chāritra (Perfect Conduct)

Their conduct is absolutely pure – no attachment (rāga), no hatred (dveṣa), no passions. They live in total vītarāgata (beyond likes–dislikes).

4. Anant Vīrya (Infinite Energy)

They have unlimited spiritual energy – tireless in meditation, preaching, and compassion for all beings.

5. Destruction of Ghāti Karmas

All four destructive karmas are fully destroyed:

• Jñānāvaraṇiya (knowledge‑obscuring)
• Darśanāvaraṇiya (perception‑obscuring)
• Mohanīya (deluding)
• Antarāya (obstructing energy)

Because of this, they are called Arihant – destroyer of inner enemies.

6. Shuddhopayog (Pure Awareness)

Their attention is always in the pure nature of the soul – not wandering in attachment, worries, or desires.

7. Samyak Darshan, Jñān, Chāritra

They are the perfect embodiment of the three jewels:

• Right Faith (samyak darshan)
• Right Knowledge (samyak jñān)
• Right Conduct (samyak chāritra)

8. Absolute Ahimsā and the Five Mahāvrat

They follow non‑violence in mind, speech and body towards every living being. They perfectly live the five great vows:

• Ahimsā – non‑violence
• Satya – truth
• Asteya – non‑stealing
• Brahmacharya – celibacy / control of senses
• Aparigraha – non‑possessiveness

9. Ten Dharma‑Lakṣaṇas (Ten Virtues)

They fully embody the 10 main virtues of dharma:

1. Kṣamā – forgiveness
2. Mārdava – humility
3. Ārjava – straightforwardness
4. Shaucha – purity (inner & outer)
5. Satya – truth
6. Saṃyama – self‑control
7. Tapa – austerity
8. Tyāga – renunciation
9. Ākiñcanya – non‑attachment
10. Brahmacharya – celibacy

10. Nirjarā and Karm‑kṣaya

They are constantly shedding all remaining karmas until complete freedom (moksha) is achieved.

11. Compassion without Attachment

They have boundless compassion (karuṇā) for all beings but without attachment or aversion – helping others only out of pure dharma.

12. Establishers of Tīrtha (Fourfold Saṅgh)

Each Tirthankar creates a “ford” (tīrtha) by establishing the fourfold saṅgh:

• Sādhus (monks)
• Sādhvīs (nuns)
• Śrāvaks (laymen)
• Śrāvikās (laywomen)

13. Samavasaraṇ – Universal Preaching

After attaining keval‑jñān, they give discourses in a Samavasaraṇ, where:

• Beings from all directions can come
• Their speech is understood by each listener in their own language and capacity

14. Trikaraṇa‑śuddhi

Complete purity of all three:

• Mind – no evil thought
• Speech – no harsh or false word
• Body – no violent or harmful action

15. Inner Bliss and Equanimity

They are in constant bliss (avyābādha sukha) and unshakable equanimity (samatā), in pleasure or pain, praise or insult.

16. Total Non‑Possessiveness and Ego‑lessness

• No attachment to body, relations, kingdom, or belongings
• Free from pride, greed, deceit, and anger
• No “I” and “mine” – only pure soul awareness

17. 34 Atiśayas (Extraordinary Greatness)

Around a Tirthankar many special excellences appear, for example:

• Auspicious marks on the body
• Divine fragrance
• Peaceful aura
• Speech that everyone understands, even animals and devas

These are called Tirthankar atiśayas.

✅ Digambar and Śvetāmbara Both traditions fully agree on these spiritual qualities of all 24 Tirthankars. Differences are only in some external details (idol style, stories, etc.), not in these inner gunas.
