avadhi-jñāna are:
- Anugāmika
- Ananugāmika

- Ananugāmika — does not accompany; it remains only in a particular place.
- Vardhamāna — increases gradually.

- Avasthita — remains steady.
- Anavasthita — is not steady; it may increase, decrease, or disappear. ( jainqq.org)
Spiritual Understanding
Avadhi-jñāna is a kind of clairvoyant knowledge in Jainism. These six types show that even this divine-like knowledge can differ in stability, scope, and movement according to the soul’s karmic condition and spiritual purity. (
