Some of the Jina's followers may also attair to kevalajnana, hence moksa, during this period. But they are known as kevalin or arhat, not Jina. The distinction here derives not only from the fact that they do not become teacherpropagators, as Jinas do, but also that without the Jina's assistance they would not have reached so exalted a state in the first place. For a discussion on the status of an arhat in Jainism and Buddhism, see Ch. VIII, n. 31. Such acaryas as the famous Kundakunda are reputed to have travelled to these "continents” by yogic methods, obtaining first-hand clarification on doctrinal matters from the Tirthankaras living there. See Pravacanasara: intro. 6. 65. 70.
