Detailed explanation-1: -According to Jains, knowledge is the essence of the soul. This knowledge is masked by the karmic particles. As the soul obtains knowledge through various means, it does not generate anything new. It only shreds off the knowledge-obscuring karmic particles.
Detailed explanation-2: -Theory of knowledge: Prama and Aprama According to Nyaya, knowledge reveals both the subject and the object which are quite distinct from itself. Knowledge may be valid or invalid. Valid knowledge is called Prama and, is defined as the right apprehension of an object. Non – Valid knowledge is known as Aprama.
Detailed explanation-3: -Kevala (Omniscience): When all karmas that obstruct knowledge are completely removed from the soul, there arises in it the absolute knowledge or omniscience. This is called Kevalajnana. It is unlimited and absolute knowledge.
Detailed explanation-4: -Prama means valid knowledge. It also means right apprehension of an object. Knowledge is regarded as valid or invalid. Valid knowledge means right manifestation of the object, just like how it is presented to us.
