Jain darshan ke anusar, Shad Dravya (छः द्रव्य) yani chhe tattvon ka varnan hai:

1. Jiv dravya (जीव द्रव्य) – Atma ya chetansh
2. Ajiv dravya (अजीव द्रव्य) – Achetan padarth, jismein paanch prakar hote hain:

- Pudgal (पुद्गल) – Matter - Dharma (धर्म) – Motion ka medium - Adharma (अधर्म) – Rest ka medium - Akash (आकाश) – Space - Kaal (काल) – Time

Arihant dev yaani Arihant, ve moksh-prapt ya kevalgyani atma hote hain, jo sansar mein jeevit hain, aur jinmein sabhi karmon ka kshay ho chuka hota hai (shesh sharir keval agyananavaran aur antaraya karm hi shesh hote hain).

Arihant dev Jiv dravya mein aate hain, kyunki ve chetan atma hain aur unmein chetna (consciousness) vidyamaan hoti hai.

Nishkarsh: Arihant dev ka samavesh “Jiv dravya” mein hota hai.
