Answer

In Jain tradition, the 14 Ratna (gems/precious possessions) of a Chakravarti are:

• Chakra Ratna – divine discus
• Chhatra Ratna – royal umbrella
• Charma Ratna – divine leather/shield-like protection
• Danda Ratna – divine staff
• Mani Ratna – divine jewel
• Kakini Ratna – precious treasury/wealth-gem
• Asi Ratna – divine sword
• Senapati Ratna – commander-in-chief
• Grihapati Ratna – chief householder/treasurer
• Vardhaki Ratna – chief architect/craftsman
• Purohita Ratna – royal priest/adviser
• Stri Ratna – queen
• Gaja Ratna – divine elephant
• Ashva Ratna – divine horse

Explanation

A Chakravarti is a universal emperor described in Jain tradition. When such a powerful ruler arises, he possesses these 14 Ratnas, which represent extraordinary royal power, wealth, protection, administration, and prosperity.

Takeaway

The 14 Ratnas show the worldly greatness of a Chakravarti, but Jain Dharma teaches that even such supreme worldly power is temporary compared to the path of liberation, right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct.
