In the Tattvarthavartika, the types of Aryas who have attained non-attachment are categorized into five types: Kshetrarya, Jatyarya, Karmarya, Charitraraya, and Darshanarya. In the Tattvarthabhashya, the types of Aryas who have attained non-attachment are categorized into six types: Kshetrarya, Jatyarya, Kularya, Shilparya, Karmarya, and Bhasharya. 80 From the perspective of Prajnapanna, humans residing in twenty-five and a half countries are considered Kshetrarya. These countries are called Arya Janapada because Tirthankaras, Chakravartis, Baldev, Vasudev were born in these countries. The same definition of Arya is given in Pravachansaroaddhar. Jinadasgani Mahttar has written that the regions where Yogalikas resided, where the principles of Hakaar etc. were prevalent, those regions are Arya and the rest are Anarya. 82 From this perspective, the boundaries of Arya Janapadas expand. 83 In the Tattvarthabhashya, it is written that humans born during the victories of Chakravartis are also considered Aryas. 84 In the Tattvarthavartika, humans born in Janapadas like Kashi, Kaushal etc. are called Kshetrarya. 85 This means that Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Western Punjab, and Sindh were partially or fully included in the Arya Kshetra, while the remaining provinces were not within that boundary. 86 The Dakshinapatha was not within the boundary of Arya Kshetra. 87 The Aryas dominated North India, and it is possible that the boundary was determined based on this perspective. 88 In the Prajnapanna, the list of twenty-five and a half countries does not mention Avanti, while Avanti was a famous kingdom during the time of Shraman Bhagwan Mahavira. 89 The king of Avanti was Chandrapratyot. 90 Bhagwan Mahavira arrived from Avanti when he came to Sindhusauvira. 91 Sindhusauvira was eighty yojanas away from Avanti. 92 Jainism was prevalent in the south, yet those regions were not included in the list of Arya Kshetras. 93 This is a question for the wise to ponder. 94 It is also possible that the regions not considered Arya may have been dominated by pre-Aryan tribes. 95 In the Prajnapanna, six types of Jati-Arya humans are mentioned: Ambashtha, Kalinda, Videha, Harit, Vedak, and Chuchun. 96 Six types of Kularya humans are mentioned: Ugra, Bhog, Rajanya, Ikshvaku, Jnat, and Kaurav. 97 In the Tattvarthavartika, Jati-Arya and Kul-Arya are not considered different. 98 Humans born in the Ikshvaku, Jnat, and Bhog clans are considered Jatyarya. 99 In the Tattvarthabhashya, Ikshvaku, Videha, Hari, Ambashtha, Jnat, Kuru are mentioned. 100
