Khamat (खमत) ka arth Jain dharma me forgiveness ya kshama se hai.

• Mul arth: Anyoni ki galti ya apraadh ko maaf karna, unki dhabhi ya apmaan par roks karne ki jagah, shashwastha samvedana aur nirvikalpa man ki sthiti rakhna.
• Dharmik arth: Kshama ek mukhya gun hai jo kshamayen aur shanti banaye rakhta hai. Isse manasik santulan, ahimsa (non-violence) ki pratigya aur paropkar ki aur pragatisheel bhavna badhti hai.
• Prayaogik pehlu: Pratikraman, Michhami Dukkadam jaise kathan/ karmo me kshama ki pratikriya aur dusron ki galtiyon ko maaf karne ki kriya hoti hai. Isse bhav seva aur samavetata milti hai.
• Digambar vs. Shvetambar: Arth me antar nahi; dono paramparaon me kshama ki mahattva ek saman hai, bas vyakhya aur ucharan me shabd-rachna thodi alag ho sakti hai.
