Types of guan in Dev Lok Digambar Jainism according to tarttvarta sutra
Answer
If by “guan” you mean the types of devas in Deva-loka, then according to the Digambara Tattvārtha Sūtra, they are divided into four main classes: Bhavanavāsī, Vyantara, Jyotiṣka, and Vaimānika. These four classes are further described as having 10, 8, 5, and 12 sub-types respectively. ( jainworld.jainworld.com)Explanation
The four classes are:- Bhavanavāsī — residential gods
- Vyantara — wandering / peripatetic gods
- Jyotiṣka — stellar gods
- Vaimānika — heavenly gods ( jainworld.jainworld.com)
The Tattvārtha Sūtra also explains an inner structure for these groups. Each class is said to have ranks such as Indra, Sāmānika, Trayastriṃśa, Pāriṣadya, Ātmarakṣa, Lokapāla, Ānīka, Prakīrṇaka, Ābhiyogya, and Kilbiṣika. However, Vyantara and Jyotiṣka do not include the Trayastriṃśa and Lokapāla ranks. ( jainworld.jainworld.com)
