1400000 type of manyushya yoni which are those
In Jain scriptures, “14,00,000 Manushya‑yoni” (human birth-places) is a traditional numerical category within the total 84,00,000 jiva‑yonis recited in the Saat Lakh Sutra. It indicates the vast variety of human births, not a list of 14,00,000 named species. The Agamas and later cosmography texts give the number, but they do not enumerate each human yoni one by one.
What this number covers (in brief):
- All human births that occur in the regions where humans exist according to Jain cosmography (e.g., Bharata, Airavata, and Mahāvideha areas of Jambudvipa).
- All human lineages, lands, languages, communities, and bodily/karma-based variations.
- Only garbhaja (womb-born) humans; there is no sammurcchana (spontaneous) birth for humans in Jain doctrine.
Digambar and Shvetambar: Both traditions accept the conventional count of 14 lakh manushya within the 84 lakh yonis; texts preserve the number as a category. Neither tradition supplies a complete itemized list of 14,00,000 distinct human types.
