Jainism ke anusar Arihant Bhagwan ki shukla leshya hoti hai. Leshya ka arth hai—jeev ki manasik aur bhaavnatmak avastha ya bhavnaon ki shuddhata. Chhe prakar ki leshyaon ka varnan milta hai: krishna, neel, kapot, tejo, padma, aur shukla.

Arihant Bhagwan sabse uchch aur shuddh bhavnaon mein sthit hote hain, isliye unki leshya shukla (safed) hoti hai, jo sarvashreshth aur pavitra mani gayi hai.
