Mārgaṇā (ममममममम).—The conditions of the Jīvās are technically known as mārganās. Nemicandra discusses
the mārgaṇās or “soul quests” in his Gommaṭasāra Jīvakāṇḍa in an exhaustive way. Similarly Brahmadeva has written a
commentary on the 13th gāthā of Dravyasaṅgraha, pertaining to the doctrine of mārgaṇā.

The mārgaṇās give us the detailed knowledge of souls. The fourteen mārgaṇās are.

1. gati (condition of existance),

2. indriya (sense),
3. kāya (embodiment),
4. yoga (vibratory activity),
5. veda (sex inclination),
6. kaṣāya (passion),
 7. jñāna (knowledge),
8. saṃyama (control),
9. darśana (conation),
10. leśya (thought-point),
11. bhavyatva (capacity of attaining liberation from Karmic bondage),
12. saṃyaktva (Right belief),
13. saṃjñitva (Rationality),
14. āhāra (assimilation of material particles by Jīvās to preserve bodies).

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two
major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development
through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
