Tatva Sutra (1.4) ke anusaar saat tattva ya sapt tattva wahi hain:

• Jiva (आत्मा) — jeev
• Ajiva (अजीव) — निर्जीव पदार्थ
• Asrava (आस्रव) — karm binds hone ka pravah
• Bandha (बन्ध) — karm ka jeev se jud jana
• Samvara (संवर) — naye karm ke influx ko rokhna
• Nirjara (निर्जरा) — pehle se jude karm ka vishran/घटना
• Moksha (मोक्ष) — sab karmo ka para-nirjara aur mukti

Bhav (ubhav) yeh tatvas milkar “satya tattva” banate hain, jinka antim lakshya Moksha hai. Isliye Tatva Sutra mein mukhya uddeshya moksha hi samjha jata hai.

Digambar aur Shvetambar dono hi in 7 tattvas ko maante hain; kuch vyakhyaon mein alag-alag vyakhyaayein ya anya tattvas (jaisey ki kuch sources mein anya sankhyaon ki charcha) milti hai, par seedhi aur pramukh samajh yahi 7 tattva ki hai.

Aap chahe to is vishay par aur adhyayan ke liye ek vishesh Jain granth ya vyakhya ki aavashyak jankari pooch sakte hain.
