who, as per texts have attained the Manahparyay gnana?
As per Jain texts, Manahparyay jñāna is attained by highly purified ascetics (munis), not by ordinary householders. It is described as a rare knowledge arising only in a soul with very deep spiritual purity.
In brief:
- It is attained by saintly ascetics who are far advanced on the path.
- It is not a common attainment and is considered much rarer than ordinary scriptural knowledge.
- Jain texts generally describe the qualification and nature of such a knower more than giving a long fixed list of names.
Important point:
- In Jain tradition, Tīrthaṅkaras are known primarily for Kevalajñāna, not for Manahparyay jñāna as their final realization.
If you want, I can also explain:
- who is eligible for Manahparyay jñāna, or
- the difference between Avadhi jñāna, Manahparyay jñāna, and Kevalajñāna.
