Bhagavan Mahavir. Bahurat-vaad maintains that a long period of time is needed for the conclusion of an act. They do not believe in the theory that the work in progress should be taken to be accomplished. They accept it only when it is concluded.
(2) Jivapradeshik-Sixteen years after Bhagavan Mahavir attained omniscience the Jivapradeshik-vaad school came into existence in Rishabhpur. Its founder was Tishyagupta. Soul has innumerable spacepoints (pradesh) but according to the Jivapradeshik-vaad school only the final space-point (pradesh) is accepted as soul and not the rest.
(3) Avyaktik-Two hundred and fourteen years after the nirvana of Mahavir the Avyakt-vaad school came into existence in Shvetambika city. Its founder was a disciple of Acharya Asadh. Avyakt-vaadi had many disciples but their names are not available. The only available mention is of his guru prior to his dissent.
(4) Samuchhedik-Two hundred and twenty years after the nirvana of Bhagavan Mahavir the Samuchhed-vaad school came into existence in Mithilapuri. Its founder was Acharya Ashvamitra. This school believes in total destruction of every substance and propagates the theory of absolute destruction.
(5) Dvaikriya-Two hundred and twenty eight years after the nirvana of Bhagavan Mahavir the Dvikriya-vaad school came into existence in Ullukateer city. Its founder was Acharya Gang. This school believed in the possibility of two simultaneous activities.
(6) Trairashik-Five hundred and fourty four years after the nirvana of Bhagavan Mahavir the Trairashik-vaad school came into existence in Antaranjika city. Its founder was Acharya Rohagupta (Shaduluk). Instead of two groups-soul and matter-he postulated three groupssoul, matter and non-soul.
(7) Abaddhik-Five hundred and eighty four years after the nirvana of Bhagavan Mahavir the Abaddhik-vaad school came into existence in Dashpur city. Its founder was Acharya Goshthamahil. This school believed that karmas touch soul but are not fused with it.
Other than Jamali (1), Rohagupta (6) and Goshthamahil (7), four nihnavas later atoned for their misconceptions and mistakes to rejoin the order. Jamali, Rohagupta and Goshthamahil never rejoined the order. No lineage of disciples nor any literature connected with them is available. For further details about nihnavas consult Visheshavashyak Bhashya and Jain Siddhant Bol Samgrah, Part 2.
