Answer

Jain Dharma ke anusaar 6 kāy jīv me ye chhah prakār ke jīv aate hain:

• Prithvikāy jīv – mitti, pathar, dhātu ādi me rahne wale jīv
• Apkāy jīv – pānī me rahne wale jīv
• Teukāy / Agnikāy jīv – agni me rahne wale jīv
• Vāyukāy jīv – vāyu me rahne wale jīv
• Vanaspatikāy jīv – vanaspati, ped-paudhe ādi
• Tras kāy jīv – chalne-phirne wale jīv, jaise kīde, pakshi, pashu, manuṣya ādi

Explanation

Pehle pānch ko sthāvar jīv kaha jata hai, kyunki ye ek-indriya jīv hote hain aur apni jagah se swayam chal-phir nahi sakte.

Chhatha, yani tras kāy jīv, do-indriya se lekar pānch-indriya tak ke chalne-phirne wale jīv hote hain.

Takeaway

Jain Dharma me 6 kāy jīv ka gyaan humein sikhata hai ki jīvan sirf manuṣya ya pashu me hi nahi, balki prithvi, pānī, agni, vāyu aur vanaspati me bhi hota hai. Isliye humein har jīv ke prati ahimsā aur dayā rakhni chahiye.
