18 psychical directions like doctrines or sangnya
Answer
If you mean the Jain
18 pāpasthānas (eighteen sources of sin), they are traditionally listed as: violence, falsehood, stealing, sexual conduct, possessiveness, anger, pride, deceit, greed, attachment, hatred, quarrelling, false accusation, backbiting, liking/disliking over trifles, defamation, deceptive false speech, and false belief. Jain Pratikraman texts present these as sins to avoid and to ask forgiveness for. (

Explanation
If by
sañjñā you meant the Jain basic instincts, Jain tradition commonly speaks of
four basic instincts: eating, fear, copulation, and possession (mine-ness). (

Spiritual Understanding
In Jain Dharma, this teaching is meant to make a person more self-aware, less harmful in thought, speech, and action, and more sincere in repentance. That is why pratikraman is used to confess and cleanse sinful actions. (

Takeaway
So, if you meant
18 sins, the term is
18 pāpasthānas; if you meant
sañjñā, Jainism usually speaks of
4 basic instincts, not 18. (
