Explanation

Anekantavada is non-absolutism, holding that objects have infinite modes of existence which only kevalins can fully comprehend.

Syadavada is the conditional viewpoint in which every judgement is qualified and depends on the situation or standpoint.

Nayavada denotes partial viewpoints, describing reality from one particular point of view at a time.

Together these three doctrines express the Jain refusal to accept any single, absolute description of reality.

Kevalins are the omniscient liberated souls said to grasp all aspects of a thing at once.

The word syat, meaning 'in some respect', prefixes Jain statements to mark their conditional truth.
