In this post, I wish to document the lineage of Gyan from Mahaveer to some of the more recent Acharyas, and how the Gyan available in JinVani/Shastra/Granth from prominent Acharyas trace back to the Gyan imbibed from Mahaveer's DivyaDhwani. Most of the text below is copied with little modification from  http://en.encyclopediaofjainism.com/index.php/Dwadshang_Shrut_can-not_be_written_In_the_form_of_Scriptures .

Kashay and No-Kashay

Another excerpt from "MokshaMarg Prakshak" (authored by  Pandit Todalmal ). This section describes Kashay and No-Kashay. 1) Kashay - Krodh, Maan, Maya, Lobh. Each of these 4 Kashay have 4 classifications: Anan-ta-nu-ban-dhi, A-prat-ya-khyan, Prat-ya-khyan, Sanj-va-lan. Thus, there are total of 16 Kashay. 2) NoKashay - Hasya, Rati, Arati, Shok, Bhay, Jugupsa, Stri-ved, Purush-ved, Napunsak-ved. These are the 9 NoKashay. In total, there are 16 Kashay + 9 NoKashay = 25 Kashay.
