Yes, this is not a list of all jnanis. It is impossible to compile one.
Moreover if yuga's repeat exactly, or even if Ramayana, etc were to happen
repeatedly, the muktas will have to return to samsara which is absurd. Nor
can we say all those are aadhikarika purushas as even they finally get
released. Chiranjeevi also is limited to perhaps the end of that yuga or
chaturyuga.
