Answer

Jain Dharma ke anusaar Arihant do prakaar se samjhe jaate hain:

• Bhashak Arihant – jo deshna dete hain, yani dharmopdesh karte hain.
• Abhashak Arihant – jo deshna nahi dete.

Examples

• Bhashak Arihant: Tirthankar Bhagwan — jaise Bhagwan Rishabhdev, Bhagwan Parshvanath, Bhagwan Mahavir Swami.
• Abhashak Arihant: Samanya Kevali — jo Kevalgyan prapt karte hain, lekin Tirthankar ki tarah dharm-tirth ki sthapana aur deshna nahi dete.

Explanation

Tirthankar Arihant bhavya jivo ke kalyan ke liye chaturvidh sangh ki sthapana karte hain aur samavasaran mein divya deshna dete hain. Isliye unhe bhashak kaha jaata hai.

Samanya Kevali bhi Arihant hote hain, kyunki unhone chaar ghati karmon ka kshay karke Kevalgyan prapt kiya hota hai. Lekin ve Tirthankar nahi hote, isliye unki deshna Tirthankar jaisi nahi hoti. Isliye unhe abhashak kaha jaata hai.

Takeaway

Har Tirthankar Arihant hote hain, lekin har Arihant Tirthankar nahi hote. Bhashak Arihant ka mukhya example Tirthankar Bhagwan hain, aur Abhashak Arihant ka example Samanya Kevali hain.
