Jain philosophy can be described in various ways, but the most acceptable tradition is to describe it in terms of the Nav Tattvas or nine fundamentals.
1) Jiva (soul) 2) Ajiva (non-living matter) 3) Punya (results of good deeds) 4) Pap (results of bad deeds) 5) Asrava (influx of karmas) 6) Samvar (stoppage of karmas) 7) Bandh (bondage of karmas) 8) Nirjara (eradication of karmas) 9) Moksha (liberation)
