In Jainism, the "Nav Tatva" or nine fundamental principles (Tattvas) explain the nature of existence and the path to liberation. The nine tattvas are:

1. Jiva (Soul or living beings)
2. Ajiva (Non-living substances)
3. Asrava (Influx of karmic particles)
4. Bandha (Bondage of karma)
5. Samvara (Stoppage of karmic influx)
6. Nirjara (Shedding of karmas)
7. Moksha (Liberation)
8. Punya (Meritorious deeds)
9. Papa (Demeritorious deeds)

These tattvas form the core of Jain philosophy and help in understanding the process of bondage and liberation of the soul.
