Jainism ke anusar, "khate khate" (bhojan karte samay) kevalgyan paane ka prasiddh udaharan Bhagwan Mallinath ka hai. Mallinath Bhagwan 19th Tirthankar the. Aisa kaha jaata hai ki unhone bhojan karte samay hi kevalgyan (omniscience) prapt kiya tha.

Iske alawa, kai Jain granthon mein bhi yeh ullekh milta hai ki kuch Tirthankaron ne bhojan karte samay kevalgyan prapt kiya. Lekin, sabse pramukh udaharan Bhagwan Mallinath ka hi maana jaata hai.

Yeh bhi dhyaan dene yogya hai ki kevalgyan prapt karne ke liye vyakti ko atishuddh aur samyak charitra mein sthit hona zaroori hai, aur yeh kisi bhi stithi mein ho sakta hai—baithte, khade, ya khate hue bhi.
