In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism

Sarvārthasiddha (सर्वार्थसिद्ध) refers to a species of Anuttarasura gods, who are in turn a subclass of the Kalpātīta gods, according to Jain cosmological texts in both the Śvetāmbara and Digambara tradition. It is also known by the name Sarvarthasiddhi. The Kalpātīta (those born beyond heavens) represent a sub-species of the Vaimānika gods, which in turn represents the fourth main classification of devas (gods).

The Anuttarasuras (e.g., the Sarvārthasiddhas) have true belief, are only on the 4th guṇasthāna and bind karman only possible on that stage.

Sarvārthasiddha (सर्वार्थसिद्ध) refers to the “central palace in Anuttara”, according to chapter 2.2 [ajitanātha-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly: “Now, there is a city named Vinītā, the crest-jewel of the earth, in Bharata in the continent Jambūdvīpa. After the time of the emancipation of Lord Ṛṣabha Svāmin, Lord of the Three Worlds, the first Tīrthaṅkara, when numberless kings of the Ikṣvāku-family had attained emancipation and Sarvārthasiddha because of their pure nature, in this city Jitaśatru was king, like a broad umbrella of the Ikṣvāku-family warding off heat (pain) from all”.

Sarvārthasiddha (सर्वार्थसिद्ध) (or Sarvārthasiddhi, Sarvārthasiddhaka) is one of the five anuttaras: a subclasses of kalpātītas (born beyond heaven), itself a division of empyrean celestial beings (vaimānika) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 4.19. The living beings residing in the vimānas are called the empyrean gods (vaimānika) and represents one of the four classes of Devas.

What is the peculiarity of heavenly beings in Sarvārtha-siddhi? They attain liberation in their next birth as human beings. Why Sarvārtha-siddhi is so called? Since the heavenly beings born here have all their wishes satisfied already. What is the minimum life span of Sarvārtha-siddhi heavenly beings? The life span of these heavenly beings is thirty three ocean-measured-periods (sāgara) as both minimum and maximum. How many births are required for Ahmindra god from Sarvārtha-siddhi to achieve liberation? They achieve liberation in one birth as human beings only.

context information

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.
