Jain Cosmology and Gatis

Jain theology categorizes the cycle of rebirth into four primary forms of existence, known as the Four Gatis. These are Deva (celestial beings or gods), Manushya (human beings), Tiryancha (flora and fauna, including plants and animals), and Naraki (hellish beings). Yaksha is a sub-category of demi-gods or spirit figures rather than one of the four foundational cosmic realms of rebirth, making it the incorrect option.
