Jainism ke anusar, "saat janma" ya punarjanm (rebirth) ka siddhant bahut mahatvapurna hai. Jain dharm ke mutabik, atma (soul) anadi aur anant hai, aur wah apne karmon ke anusar ek sharir chhodkar doosra sharir dharan karti hai. Is prakar, ek atma anek janm leti hai—manushya, dev, narak, tiryanch (janwar, pakshi, adi) jaise chaar gatiyon mein ghoomti rehti hai.

Jain shastra ke anusaar, janm ka sankhya saat ya kisi nishchit sankhya tak seemit nahi hai. Atma anant baar janm leti hai, jab tak wah apne sabhi karmon ka kshay karke moksha (mukti) nahi prapt kar leti. Isliye "saat janma" ki baat Jainism mein nahi hai, yeh anya dharmon ka vichar ho sakta hai.

Jain dharm ke anusar, jab tak atma ke karm bandhan hain, tab tak uska punarjanm hota rahta hai. Moksha prapt karne par hi janm-mrityu ka chakra samaapt ho jata hai.

Summary: Jainism ke hisaab se janm ki koi nishchit sankhya nahi hai. Atma anant baar janm leti hai, jab tak usko moksha nahi milta.
