Possessions (Parigraha)
In Jainism, “attachment to possessions (parigraha)” is of two kinds: attachment to internal possessions (ābhyantara parigraha), and attachment to external possessions (bāhya parigraha).
The fourteen internal possessions are:
| Wrong belief | ||||||
| The three sex-passions | Male sex-passion | Female sex-passion | Neuter sex-passion | |||
| Six defects | Laughter | Liking | Disliking | Sorrow | Fear | Disgust |
| Four passions | Anger | Pride | Deceitfulness | Greed |
External possessions are divided into two subclasses, the non-living, and the living. According to Jain texts, both internal and external possessions are proved to be hiṃsā (injury).
