Manushya & Dev are Shubh gati. Is Tiryanch also Subh gati
Quick Answer
In Jain philosophy, Manushya (humans) and Dev (deities) are considered Shubh Gati (fortunate or auspicious states). Tiryanch (animals and plants) are generally not classified as Shubh Gati but as a lower state of existence with more karmic bondage.
Detailed Answer
Jain cosmology categorizes living beings into different realms or gatis based on their spiritual purity and karmic conditions. Manushya and Dev are regarded as Shubh Gati because they have the potential for spiritual progress and liberation due to their higher level of consciousness and capacity for right knowledge and conduct. Humans have the unique ability to practice Jain ethics and attain liberation, while Devas enjoy celestial pleasures but are still bound by karma.
