is the knowledge of 1 tithi and 2 tithi different
“Tithi” can mean different things, so the answer depends on what you are asking:
- If you mean lunar dates (1st tithi, 2nd tithi of a month):
- Spiritually, sāmānya jñān (ordinary knowledge) of “today is 1st tithi” or “today is 2nd tithi” is not different in quality of knowledge. - It is the same type of knowledge, just about different objects (different days). - So, from the Jain view of jñān-tattva, the kind of knowledge is not changing, only the viṣay (object) changes.
- If you mean something like “one tithi’s worth of time vs two tithi’s worth of time” in the technical sense of Jain time-units and omniscience (keval-jñān):
- For kevalī Bhagwān, there is no difference – they know all past, present and future completely; so 1 tithi or 2 tithi makes no difference to their knowledge. - For ordinary souls (like us), we never have such exact time-bound complete knowledge anyway, so Jain texts don’t usually talk of “1 tithi jñān” vs “2 tithi jñān” as distinct spiritual levels.
- If you are referring to some specific pravachan, granth, or tradition (for example, a statement like “falānā devtā ko ek tithi ka jñān hotā hai, falānā ko do tithi ka”), then that is a special/contextual usage, not a standard tattva-category like mati-jñān, śrut-jñān, avadhi-jñān, etc.
Right now your question is a bit short, so I have answered in general Jain-tattva terms:
- Type of knowledge (mati, śrut, avadhi, keval, etc.) is what really matters.
- “1 tithi” vs “2 tithi” is only a difference of extent/object, not of spiritual category of jñān.
If you can share the exact line or context where you heard “1 tithi ka gyan / 2 tithi ka gyan”, the explanation can be made more precise according to that Jain text or pravachan.
