    What are the five things a juna had overcome, like msya, krodha etc

    a week ago 1

    Answer

    In Jain Dharma, a Jina is one who has conquered the inner enemies. The four main passions are:
    • Krodha — anger
    • Māna — pride / ego
    • Māyā — deceit / deceitfulness
    • Lobha — greed

    These are called the four kaṣāyas.

    Explanation

    If you meant the “five things” that a Jina overcomes, then the most common Jain teaching is actually these four passions. They are considered the main causes of bondage of karma.

    Sometimes people also include:

    • Rāga — attachment
    • Dveṣa — aversion / hatred

    But the standard Jain list for the main inner enemies is the four kaṣāyas: krodha, māna, māyā, lobha.

    Spiritual Understanding

    A Jina is not just someone strong in an outer sense. A Jina is victorious over the inner forces that disturb the soul.
    • Anger burns peace
    • Pride increases ego
    • Deceit darkens truth
    • Greed never allows contentment

    Overcoming these leads to purity, equanimity, and liberation.

    Takeaway

    The main passions a Jina overcomes are krodha, māna, māyā, and lobha. These are the great inner enemies in Jain Dharma.
