Jainism na anusar, Nigod ek prakār na sthāvara (immobile) jīv chhe, je tamaam thi sārthak, ekindriya (ek indriya) jīvoma ganāy chhe. Nigod na jiv anant prakār na hoy chhe — te anant, aparimāṇ, ane avināshi samjāy chhe. Jain shāstrao mānhe chhe ke sāmānya rite sāmprat rūpe badhā jīv prāy: Nigod mā chhe, ane evolūtion thavā pachi te uttarottar unnat jīv rūpe janm le chhe. Nigod na jiv bahu sūkṣma, sukh-dukha ni anubhūti vagar, ek prakār ni samashti rūp jīv shreṇi chhe.

Saṅkṣep mā kahuṁ to: Nigod na jiv anant chhe.
