    Is smriti also comes in matigyan strictest ans possible

    2 months ago 10

    Answer

    Yes — smṛti (memory/recollection) is generally included under mati-jñāna in Jain epistemology.

    Explanation

    But strictly speaking, smṛti is not one of the four main subdivisions of mati-jñāna:
    • Avagraha
    • Ihā
    • Avāya
    • Dhāraṇā

    These four describe the process of direct sensory-mind cognition.

    Smṛti is the recalling of a previously known object. So it is related to mati-jñāna, but it is not counted as one of its four formal subtypes.

    Spiritual Understanding

    In Jain Dharma, this distinction is important because:
    • Mati-jñāna is knowledge gained through the senses and mind.
    • Smṛti is the mind’s ability to remember what was already known.
    • So smṛti supports knowledge, but it is not independent new perception.

    Takeaway

    Short answer: Yes, smṛti comes under mati-jñāna in a broad sense, but not as one of its four classical subdivisions.
