The 2nd-century [[Digambara]] [[Jain monasticism|Jain monk]] and philosopher [[Kundakunda]] distinguishes between two perspectives of truth:

*''Vyāvahāranaya'' or "mundane perspective".
*''Niścayanaya'' or "ultimate perspective", also called "supreme" (''pāramārtha'') and "pure" (''śuddha'').<ref>Long, Jeffery; Jainism: An Introduction, page 126.</ref>

For Kundakunda, the mundane realm of truth is also the relative perspective of normal folk, where the workings of ''[[karma]]'' operate and where things emerge, last for a certain time, and then perish. The ultimate perspective, meanwhile, is that of the liberated [[Jiva|individual soul]] (''jīvatman''), which is "blissful, energetic, perceptive, and omniscient".<ref>Long, Jeffery; Jainism: An Introduction, page 126.</ref>
