Samiti shabd Jain dharm me kai arth me aata hai aur iski sankhya alag-alag sthitiyon me badal sakti hai. Digambar aur Shwetambar traditions ke beech bhi iski vyakhya thodi alag hoti hai. Is liye sahi tareeke se kehne ke liye context zaruri hai ki aap kis samiti ki baat kar rahe hain (jaise ki kis kriya, upasana, ya sutra se judi samiti). Agar aap thoda vishesh batayen ki kis samiti ki sankhya pooch rahe hain, main spasht arth aur srot ke saath jawab dungi.
