Absolute, pure knowledge

Etymology & Sanskrit Root

From 'kevala' (alone, complete, pure) + 'jnana' (knowledge) — the boundless, omniscient knowledge that arises when all karma obscuring the soul is destroyed.

Spiritual Insight & Context

The moment a Tirthankara or Kevalin attains Kevala Jnana, they directly know all substances across past, present, and future simultaneously — not through inference.
