The Tirthakuras may be regarded as the dii majores of the Jainas, [4] though, having become Siddhas, emancipated from all concern, they can have no interest in mundane affairs. They and such beings as are supposed to have reached perfection are divided into fifteen species:
1. Tîrthakarasiddhas, 2. Atîrthakarasiddhas, 3. Tîrthasiddhas; 4. Svalingasiddas; 5. Anyalingasiddhas; 6. Strilingasiddhas; 7. Purushalingasiddhas; 8. Napumsakalingasiddhas;
