Which are the 14 lakh manushya in saat lakh sutra
- In the Saat Laakh Sutra, the total 84 Lakh Jiva-yoni (forms of life) are enumerated, and among them there are "चौदह लाख मनुष्य" — fourteen lakh human lives. This is the segment that specifically lists the human-forms in the universe.
- Original text (as it appears in the Sutra):
चौदह लाख मनुष्य
इस तरह चौरासी लाख जीव-योनि में से मेरे जीव ने
जो कोई जीव-हिंसा की हो, करायी हो, करते हुए का अनुमोदन किया हो, उन सब का मन-वचन-काया से मिच्छा मि दुक्कडं....
- Meaning (arth) in Jain tradition:
Among the 84 Lakh jivas described in the universe, 14 Lakh are human beings. The passage is part of a confession where the Jiva seeks forgiveness for any injury or violence done to any living being, including humans, and asks for forgiveness through mind, speech, and body.
This enumeration is commonly given in both Digambar and Shwetambar traditions with the same numbering and wording for this portion of the sutra.
