Gaṇādhipati Tulsi, the Synod-chief, whose intellect was responsible for all innovations; in fact, it was all his contributions; this innovation of writing the Bhasya in Hindi, the national language, is indeed a new experiment in the Bhāṣyayuga (i.e., age of writing Bhāṣyas).

Lord Mahävira (B.C. 599-527), the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism, was the propounder of the Jain Philosophy which is found expounded in the twelve canonical texts called Dvadasängi, the fifth of which is Viñhapannatti. If has been popularly known as 'Bhagvati Sutra' (Pkt. Bhagavai). Among the whole corpus of Jain literature now available, the Bhagavi is the most outstanding in exposition of the Jain Metaphysics.
The present volume is the first one which contains the first two śatakas (chapters) the original text in Roman Script, the English Translation, the Bhāşya (an elaborate annotated commentry by Acharya Shri Mahaprajnaji) and several useful indexes.
. Some of the important topics which have been presented in the Bhāşya on the basis of profound and comparitive studies include the important disciplines of knowledge such as Philosophy, Ethics, Science of Jiva, Cosmology, Cosmogony, Parapsychology and the like. In the context of the relation between jiva (soul) and pudgala (matter), which may be in several forms such as appropriation of the new body in the beginning of a new life, the food-intake, the bondage of Karma, the fruition of Karma and the like many aspects of the Science of Jiva and Science of Karma have been explored. The motion of Jiva through the space while transmigrating from one life to another one, the doctrine of reincarnation, etc. are very interesting topics which have been very minutely examined.
The topics related with Embryology, Biology, Physics etc. are very important both the scholars. Some light is also thrown on the Jain Mathematics. The historical events like adoption of discipleship by the ascetic (Parivrajaka) Skandaka from Lord Mahavira, discussion of some metaphysical problems by the descendent ascetics of the Lord Păshva, the 23rd Tirthankara, and other heretics etc. throw important light on the ancient history of Indian Religions and Philosophies. The problems relating to the origin of cosmos, space and time, breathing by the Jivas of air-bodied beings, the miracalous exercise of tejulesya (comparable to atomic explosion) etc. are examples of the then trends of philosophical thoughts.
On the whole, it can be undoubtedly in declared that the Bhagavai is one of unique treatises on Indian Philosophy
In the words Prof. W. Schubring, "Mähvavira was the most versatile thinker we know of in ancient India, and as J. Deleu Observes: "Mahavira, more than any one around him, even more than the Buddha, was inspired by the spiritual unrest and eagerness of his day."

OBEISANCE (FOR BHAGAVATI BHĀŞYA)
Obeisance to (Scriptural Articulation) Let us pay our obeisance with cheerful mind to the Scriptural Articulation (of apta-the Lord), in which every aksara (letter) has become aksara (imperishable) in revealing the Truth; which has incarnated through the path of kaivalya (i.e., omniscience); which has been preserved for a long time; which is destroyer of the darkness (of ignorance); and which is elegant and worthy of paying obeisance to
Obeisance to Vīra (i.e., Mahāvīra) Let us all follow the foot-steps of the Lord Vira who was the authentic exponent of the doctrine of puruşārtha (self-exertion) of the puruşa (i.e., the soul); who forebore everything that happened by engrossing himself in his own (inner) consciousness; and who gave the sūtra of samanvaya (harmony) as the first step to the enlightened world-view.
Obeisance to Bhikṣu (Let us pay our n'eisance to) Rev. Bhikṣu who wrote the poetry on the verses of agama, which were difficult to comprehend through intelligence; who perceived the path of pathlessness through his spontaneous wisdom; whose guidance is available to us because of our own fate which has become the determinant of editing the āgamas.
Obeisance to Jaya and Kālu (Let us pay our obeisance to) Rev. Jayacharya, who milked the cow of the literature of the āpta, which had been nourished for a long time and who as if made sun-rise in the Order of Bhikşu and whose every articulation became the seed that was sown in the fertile (land) of that sunrise; and (Rev.) Kalu whose well-contemplated idea became a new inscription (for us).
Obeisance to the Synod-chief Gaņādhipati Tulsi (Let us pay obeisance to) Rev. Gaņādhipati Tulsi, the Synod-chief, whose intellect was responsible for all innovations; in fact, it was all his contributions; this innovation of writing the Bhásya in Hindi, the national language, is indeed a new experiment in the Bhasyayuga (i.e., age of writing Bhāsyas).

Ecstasy is not a subject of articulation for a gardener who sees his garden full of trees and plants laden with verdure, flowers and fruits, or for an artist who sees his idea getting a form on the canvas, or for a visionary who sees his dreams getting realized, through his own efforts. For a long time, I had been visualizing that the critical editing of the Jain scriptures be undertaken and the laborious moments of my life be devoted to it. The visualization was transformed into a reality. Considering me a nucleus, the members of my Religious Order got engrossed in that endeavor. I would like to make, therefore, all of them who have contributed to this work the participants in my ecstasy. In brief, the contribution is as follows:

PUBLISHERS' NOTE (ENGLISH VERSION)
Both of our Institutes-Jain Vishva Bharati and Jain Vishva Bharati University are dedicated to the publications of the Jain Agama Sahitya (Canonical Literature of Jainism).
In the past thirty-five years, the Jain Vishva Bharati has published
(1) A complete series of original text in Prakrit, critically edited with variants and complete word-index.'
(2) Another series of original text with Sanskrit rendering (chaya), Hindi Translation with Extensive Critical Annotation (Bhasya), several Appendices including the complete Word-index etc. and Bibliography.2
(3) In the third series, jointly we have already published the Original Text in Roman Script, English Translation with Extensive Critical Annotation (Bhasya), several Appendices including the complete Word-index etc, and Bibliography."
The present volume of Bhagavatt Vidhapannatti is the third in the third series. The English Version is totally based on the Hindi Version. Gaṇädhipati Tulasi who was the Synod-chief of the Agama-vācanā was a bahuśruta (i.e. versatile) scholar and Acarya Mahaprajña (who is the successor to Gaṇādhipati Acārya Tulasi) is the learned editor and Bhāṣyakāra (i.e. the author of the Bhasya); the commendable effort made by both of these great ācāryas can be gauged only by a thorough study
of the work.
The present volume (which is the second one) of the Bhagavatī Viāhapannatti contains the Satakas III to VII.
In the Hindi Version, Rev. Yuvacārya Śrī Mahāśramaņa, Muni Śrī Hirālālajī, Muni Śri Mahendra Kumāraji and Muni Śri Vimala Kumāraji who were the assistants. in editing the Bhasya, had made great efforts to give a presentable form to the treatise. Rev. Sadhvi Pramukhä Kanaka Prabhāji had accomplished the Sanskrit Rendering and Hindi Translation. The respectable Samani-group has helped in preparing the decent manuscript of the work.
In the English Version, Late Prof. N. Tatia and Prof. Muni Śrī Mahendra Kumaraji have spent years to yield a comprehensive English translation. After the sad demise of Prof. N. Tatia, Prof. Muni Śrī Mahendra Kumarajī made a strenuous effort to complete the whole work which took about fourteen years. He was assisted.

PREFACE
(By the Bhāşyakāra)
This is the second volume of the Bhagavai Viāhapannatti (with Bhāsya) being present to th readers. The critically edited complete original text had already been published in "Argasuttaņi, vol. II." In the style of editing accepted by us, both the points viz., the decision of the actual text (and the variants) and the comprehension of the meaning therein, have been taken into account. For, understanding the meaning of the text, the correct from of the text should he first decided and for the correction of the text what is required is the precise understanding of the text.
The present version would help the reader in the correct understanding of the text. In the Hindi version, we have given the original text together with its Sanskrit Chāyā, Hindi Translation and the Bhāşya on the sutra in Hindi. (In the English version, however, the sanskrit cháy, is not given; the original text in prakrit is given in the Roman script together with the English Translation and the Bhasya (i.e., critical annotations) on the sūtras in English (with the references in Roman script in the foot-notes are given at the end of the each Bhāsya).
The task of editing critically the original text is quite complicated. But the comprehension of the meaning (and the purport) of the text is even more intricate. Although the portion of the text which is related with the narration of the story and the description (of the city etc.) is not difficult to comprehend, yet the content of the text, which deals with the metaphysics and the doctrines is very terse and full of very profound sense, for understanding of which we have mainly two fundamental treatises before us :
1. Vrtti by Abhayadevasűri — It is considered as a vivarana (i.e. merely descriptive work) by the author himself, and not as an exegesic or explanatory exposition (which is expected in a Vrtti), which can explain to us the hidden meaning of the sūtras.
2. Bhagavati-joda - It is in Rajasthani language written by Shrimaj Jayacharya in poetic verses, not only translating freely the original text, but also expounding the total contents. The author has made an extensive use of Abhayadevasúri's Vịtti. He has also made use of the “Tabba by Dharmasi" at several places. The author himself has written many critical vārtikas (i.e. explanatory notes) on the basis of his own versatility as well as the wide reading of other canonical texts.
Besides the above two sources, we have utilised the other canonical texts, the treatises of both the traditions of Svetāmbaras as well as Digambaras and also many classical works of the Vedic and Buddhist traditions.

Preface (By the Bhasyakara)
~: xi:~
We had written Bhasya on Ayaro in Sanskrit, but we have preferred Hindi for writing this Bhasya on Bhagavai (the English translation of which is given here in the English Version).
In our translation versions of Thanam, Sayagado etc., our style of presentation has been in this way-Original Text in Prakrit, Sanskrit Chäyä, Hindi Translation followed by the notes or bhāṣya on the whole sthāna (in case of Thānam) and adhyayana (in case of other agamas such as Suyagado) at the end of each chapter. In the present Bhasya on Bhagavati, we have adopted a new style-by writing Bhasya on each sutra or each alapaka (L.e. a topic comprising several sutras).
The appendices at the end of the Hindi version are:
1. Name Index
2. Index of the words on which Bhāṣya is written
3. Index of the technical terms used in the text or Bhāṣya
4. Bibliography (List of the books consulted)
5. Cuni (Text) by Jinadasa Mahattara (Šatakas 1, 2) 6. Vrtti (Text) by Abhayadevasūri (Šatakas 1, 2)
(In English version we have given only the first four appendicies).
Each Sataka is preluded with a brief preface, with the text of the references, used therein, given in the footnotes.
The Special Feature of the Bhāṣya on Bhagavati
The Bhagavati Satra is the biggest agama in the available agamas. It is an inexhaustible treasure of metaphysical knowledge. Besides, we get some such important information about the ancient history (of India) as not to be found elsewhere. Although several scholars have done some work on it, yet, according to our humble submission the labour undertaken so far is not that much as it should have been. Garudeva (Acharya Tulsi) had the feeling that we should. undertake this task by exerting strenuous endeavour adn making deeper studies. We have heartily obeyed to this indication and the outcome of our efforts is also in accordance with the Gurudeva's feeling. Only those who would undertake deep study of our work would be able to evaluate the outcome. It is our definite opinion that without making extensive studies of the treatises of all traditions (mentioned above and adopting wider perspective it would be difficult to grasp the actual purport of the present agama. For example, we can take a word 'avara" occuring in 1.349. Pt. Bechardasji has interpreted it as 'another one (nadi)".
Now, let us examine it critically. According to the Carakasanthita, the embryo (foetus) in the womb gets nutrition through "rasavahinis" (the ducts carrying the rasa from the mother's body). A nädi (duct) is appended to the navel of the foetus; there is "apara" (1.e., the placenta with which is connected the nad of the foetus; and the apară is connected (at the other end) with the heart of the mother. The mother's heart would saturate the apară (placenta) through the secreting veins (in which the conduction of rasa and blood takes place) with rasa and blood.2 (See

- xii :
Preface (By the Bhāsyakära) page no. 242 of the present text). ("Placenta' is a special technical term used in anatomy; thus aparā stands for placenta, and not for another (nādi). Feeling of Co-operation
There is a very old history of Vācanā (Synod) in the Jain tradition. We know about four such vācanās that took place till about 1500 years ago, (which is the time of Devarddhigani). After Devarddhigaņi, no systematic synod has taken place. The āgamas that were made to writing in the last synod during Devarddhigami's time had become corrupt during the long time-flow. Hence, a systematic synod to put the āgamas in systematic form was the need of the hour. Rev. Pujya Gaņādhipati Gurudeva Sri Tulsi first made an effort to call a synod collectively of all Jain ācāryas, but it did not succeed. Lastly, we reached the conclusion that if our synod would be really based on research and if our attitude would be unbiased, and also if we would undertake hard efforts, then automatically our synod would be acceptable collectively. On the basis of this conclusion, we had started our work on agama-vācanā (in 1955).
Our Synod-chief was Ganadhipati Sri Tulsi. Actually, vacanã signifies *teaching'. In our course of vācanā, these were the constituents of our teachingwork-research in the correct version of the text, translation into Hindi), critical studies of the ägamas, and so on. In all these activities we were fortunate enough to get active support, guidance and inspiration from Gurudeva. This is the only source of seed of energy we got for being engaged in this stupendous task.
The present volume is the first volume of the version of the Bhagavati Sūtra with Translation and Bhäsya. It contains the first two Satakas. It comprises the original text, Sanskrit chāyā, Hindi translation (which is translated into English), Bhāşya and references in foot-notes). The Hindi translation was done by Sadhvi Pramukhā Kanaka Prabhä. Mahāśramana Muni Mudit Kumār, Muni Mahendra Kumār and Muni Hirālālji assisted us in the works of taking dictation as well as editing the publication. In preparing the appendices and also in the work of editing, some of the nuns and samanis have also made their contributions.
Thus, many monks and nuns have given their co-operation in editing the present publication. We all who have done this work under the shadow of the Gurudev's blissful hands are co-workers in this great task. Nevertheless, I express my auspicious feelings towards all the monks and nuns who have made contribution in any form in this work.

PREFACE
The visible world is confined to the human beings and the animals. The limits of our knowledge are restricted to senses, mind and the intellect. This limitation of knowledge has limited the scope of the knowables. The world of gods, infernals and subtler beings is beyond our power of direct knowledge, so the description of these objects generates doubt, speculation and wonder.
In the canonical literature, there are frequent discussions of gods, infernals and subtler beings, the reason being that they are amenable only to direct supersensuous intuition. The enlightened person endowed with the power of direct intuition is capable of knowing the invisible world by means of his supersensuous knowledge (clairvoyance or omniscience) and he describes those objects of the invisible world. These descriptions are not amenable to logic and so they are subjects of argumentation for us. The problem of indirect cognition and direct intuition led Ācārya Siddhasena Divākara' to divide the knowable objects in two categories: those that were amenable to logic and those that were not so, or were only subjects of scriptural knowledge. The philosophers who explain things that are amenable to logic by means of logic and those that are not amenable to logic by means of scriptures are the bonafied propounders of the truth. A proper appreciation of the limits of logic and supersensuous perception will save a person both from blind faith and denial of the supersensuous world.
Agnibhūti Gautama asked some questions about the protean power of gods and Lord Mahāvīra answered them. Agnibhūti placed the description of the protean power before Vāyubhūti. Vāyubhūti, however, could not believe his description and approached Lord Mahāvīra for his approval. On getting his approval, Vāyubhūti placed faith in Agnibhūti's description. The upshot of this incident is that only the enlightened person, endowed with the power of direct intuition of the objects that cannot be known by logic, is the reliable source in such matters. And he alone is trustworthy for the person who has only the power of indirect knowledge. Of the eleven immediate chief disciples of Lord Mahāvīra, the first three, viz., Indrabhūti, Agnibhūti and Vāyubhūti, belonged to the Gautama gotru (lineage). In the present canon, most of the questions are asked by Indrabhūti Gautama. In the present dialogue it is worthy of note that Agnibhūti is the principal interrogator, Vayubhūti being only secondarily associated with the dialogue.
In the present Sataka, there are ten sections. The first one begins with the query about the protean power of the gods. By means of the protean power one can change the shape of his body and create many new shapes. All the gods are possessed

Bhagaval 3:Preface
of such powers, though there is no uniform development of that power in all of them. The first section of the Sataka provides much valuable information about this
power.
The anecdote of Tamali, the ascetic, testifies the truth that the tenets of Jainism had a spiritual background and as such they stood for a universal religion at all levels, not being confined to any kind of sectarian narrowness. Ascetic Tamali, by dint of the power of his austerity, was born as its chief in the second heaven, called Isana. The prediction that though a heretic, he would attain liberation in future could not be possible, had there been any sectarian bias in the mind of the predictor. In the present Sataka, we have a very attractive and practical description of the mutual relationship between Śakra, the chief of the first heaven, and Isänendra, the chief of the second heaven.
We do not find any kind of direct relationship between gods and humans. The relationship, if any, is indirect. The anecdote of Sanatkumara, the chief of the third heaven, is a testimony thereof. Mahāvīra's religion fascinated him. That he was an admirer and well-wisher of his religious order was disclosed by Mahāvīra himself." Lord Mahāvīra has depicted at several places the events of his own life. In the eleventh year of his ascetic life, there (3.105-116) occurred a fight between Camarendra and Sakra. Camarendra concealed and sheltered himself between the feet of Lord Mahāvīra, which was a hair-raising event."
The relative velocity of Camarendra and Vajra (the weapon of the Indra) can be computed with reference to the science of kinetics and kinematics.
The protean power of gods is their birthright. But humans too can acquire such power by practice of austerities, which in its different aspects has found lucid description as a topic of the spiritual or occult science. The ancient science of the practice of austerities for acquiring protean powers fell into oblivion. Reference to such powers is a special feature of the Bhagavati Sūtra. Such powers are inherent in the air-bodied beings and also in the clouds, which in, Jainism, are living organisms. But their powers are very meagre and undeveloped.?
The description of four custodian gods in the Sakra's domain, in this Sataka, raises an intriguing question. In Jainism, there is no God as the originator and the ruler of the universe, as in monotheistic religions. The natural events are governed by the cosmic laws. Are then the custodian gods the governers of the natural events? The descriptions of these custodians give an impression that the same natural events are connected with the guardians and the associate gods, who, however, do not interfere in every natural event. But it is evident from the descriptions that occurrence of some natural events are within their knowledge. The Fiendish youths, the Luminous gods and the Forest deities follow the wishes of the custodian gods. They sometimes influence and change the natural events in accordance with their orders. This is not mentioned in our canonical text, though it can be gathered from other canonical sources" that draugnt, floods, thunders, lightning-flashes etc. are also made by gods. In ancient times natural disasters, floods, epidemics etc. were considered due to the wrath of gods, and for the mitigation of the horrors wrought

Bhagavai 3:Preface
-5:by them, they were sought to be pacified by their worship, adoration and offerings. Do the canonical descriptions confirm the popular convictions of those days about the part played by the gods in the occurrence of calamities or they simply confirm the truth that those events occurring on earth were due to some divine powers behind them. The truth appears to be that there was no absolute divine power that controlled natural disasters, though it cannot be denied that occasionally gods could change the course of events. There is coordinating relationship between the three: our earth, mankind and divine power. The dialogue under consideration is very much useful for understanding the role of tripartite relationship that guides our destiny.
In the third section of the present Sataka, Lord Mahāvīra explains to his sixth Chief Disciple, Manditaputra, the process of attaining liberation—which is very important for understanding the subject. It is explained how a distracted and agitated aspirant reaches the end of his state of agitation and attains the transcendent state of motionlessness. The expressions "eyati veyati,” “no eyati," "no veyati" remind us of the Upanişadic Phrases “tad ejati, tan naijati."10 The present Sataka is worthy of careful perusal for scholars engaged in the study of mysticism and parapsychology. There is much scope for research in these subjects of the present Sataka.

The Topic of Creation of Protean Images by the Gods (Devas) In that period, at that time, the ascetic, named Agnibhūti of the Gautama lineage, the second among the chief disciples of the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, seven standard cubits in height-Description ...... up to while offering adoration to the Lord, addressed him thus: Possessed of how great fortune, how great splendour, how great strength, how great fame, how great happiness, how great power is Camara, the chief and the king of the Asuras, O Lord? How great mastership has he in creating the protean forms? Gautama, Camara, the chief and the king of the Asuras, is possessed of great fortune, great splendour, great strength, great fame, great happiness and great power. He exercises sovereignty, first citizenship, lordship, protectorship, supreme authority and commandership over thirty-four hundred thousand mansions, sixty four thousand co-chiefs, thirty-three ministers, four custodians, five chief queens, with retinue, three assemblies, seven armies, seven army-chiefs, two hundred fifty-six thousand sentinels, and many other gods and goddesses inhabiting the capital city of Camaracañcā. He imposes orders on other gods for compliance. Enjoying celestial pleasures of flawless dances, songs, music produced by stringed instruments, palms of hands, rhythmic slapping, tearing, cube and drum by the expert singers

Bhagavai 3:1:4
-:9:and musicians, he dwells there. He is possessed of such great fortune,10 such great splendour, such great strength, such great fame, such great happiness and such great power. His mastership in creating the protean forms is described thus: just like the tight clasping of the hand of a maiden by the hand of a youth or like the hub of a wheel" of a cart connected with the spokes from all sides, O Gautama! Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras, creates protean images by his power of projection in order to pervade the whole of the Island of Jambūdvīpa by coloured forms connected with his body). Engaged in creating the protean images, he projects from his body a column numerable yojanas long. Thereafter, he appropriates the fine particles, after dropping off the gross ones, from gems, diamonds, lapis lazuli, coral, emerald, topaz, stained gem, saugandhika (a kind of ruby), reddish white gem, black stone, inferior black stone, silver, gold, anka, crystal and unlucky gem. Appropriating the fine particles, he again creates the protean image for the second time. Capable indeed, O Gautama! is Camara, the chief and the king of the Asuras, of covering, overlaying, pervading, touching and densely filling up the entire Island of Jambūdvīpa with numerous Asurakumāra gods and goddesses. Moreover, O Gautama, Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras, is capable of covering, overlaying, pervading, touching and densely filling up with numerous Asurakumāra gods and goddesses the horizontal region of innumerable islands and oceans. This is merely the description of the domain of Camara, the chief and the king of the Asuras, though he did never exercise such power of projecting protean bodies in the past, nor does he exercise such power in the present, nor will he do so in the future.
Bhāsya 1. Seven standard cubits (hātha) in height
See Bhäsya on Bha. 1.9. It may be mentioned here that "hätha' here is to be measured in terms of utsedhāngula.
2. Possessed of how great fortune
The Vrtti has explained the Prākrit phrase kemahiddhie in two ways: (1) in what fashion he is possessed of great fortune? (2) what type of great fortune he is possessed of ? It quotes another explanation which purports to ask about the extent of his fortune. 3. Co-chiefs
These gods are equal to Indra, i.e., the chief of the gods as regards fortune.? According to TBh, they are equal in all respects to the chief, excepting the exalted status of chiefhood. In this connection, Siddhasenaganī writes that these gods do

Bhagavai 3:1:4 not enjoy the status of the chief in the same sense as actual Indra: actually they do not enjoy the lordship of the entire heaven, though they are as much respectable as the father, guru, teacher, etc. The Vrtti has only given the etymological meaning of the word sămānika. 4. Tāvattrimsaka
In the TBh, we find the word trāyastrimsa. In the Vrtti on the TBh and TRV, also the same word is available. These gods are like ministers and priests. The original Prakrit term should be Sanskritized as tāvattrimsaka. In the Buddhist Pali literature, we find the word tāvatimśa. 5. Custodians
In the TBh, the 'custodians' have been compared with the border security guards and the protector of people against theft. A detailed description of these custodians is available in the seventh section of this Sataka. 6. Seven armies, seven army-chiefs
For details, refer to the Thānam, 7.113-129. 7. Sentinels
They have been compared with the head-guards. They stand behind important persons, holding weapons in their hands. They do not appear to have any utility as gods do not need any security personnel, and so it is not necessary to engage them for the protection of the gods. They are justified in order to show the grandeur and magnificance of the gods and to observe the protocol of the chief of the gods." 8. Sovereignty .......... army-chiefs
In the present Sutra, there are five phrases indicating leadership: 12 1. Adhipatya
sovereignty 2. Paurapatya
first citizenship 3. Svāmitva
lordship 4. Bhartrtva
protectorship 5. Ajñā-īśvara-senāpati supreme authority and commander,
enjoying the power to order and direct. 9. Ahata-nātya-gīta
The Vrtti gives two Sanskrit forms to explain the meaning of the phrase: (1) ākhyānaka — dance related to a narrative, accompanied by appropriate song. (2) āhata—harmonious dance and song. The first meaning is in accordance with the earlier commentary, whereas the second is the opinion of the author of the Vrtti himself.13
10. Possessed of great fortune (emahiddhie)
Page #35
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 3:1:4
~:11:~
The Vitti sanskritizes the Prakrit phrase as evammaharddhika and considers the Sanskrit equivalent iyanmaharddhika as the opinion of others."
11. Clasping of hands
hub of the wheel
In order to explain the dense pervasion of the bodies created by the protcan power, the Sutra gives two examples: Clasping the hand of a maiden by a youth in the state of erotic rapture, that brings the fingers of the maiden so close that no gap is left between them, comparable to the pervasion of the entire Island of Jambudvīpa by the all protean images that lie so closely located that no gap exists between them.
The second example illustrates the pervasion of the whole Island of Jambudvipa by all the protean images connected to the image of god, like all the spokes of the wheel meeting at the hub..
The Vṛtti has mentioned an earlier commentary which explained the purpose of the examples as follows: Just as a maiden walks with the youth with clasped hands in a crowd and keeps attached to the crowd, so the bodies created by the protean power keep themselves connected with their creator god. Similarly, just as the hub of the cart-wheel connected with the spokes becomes devoid of gaps, exactly so the creator of the protean bodies densely fills up the whole space with those bodies that are connected with his own body.
Maharși Patanjali has identified the protean power with the psychic power capable of creating things (nirmäṇa-citta). The meditator (yogi) can create different nirmāṇa-cittas by means of the principle of asmita (ego) with which the numerous nirmana-cittas remain connected, and as such they are all related to the same soul (jiva). (The yogi endowed with such power can create numerous bodies, each of which has a separate mind (manas) which, in turn, is operated by a nirmana-citta. The number of such cittas is also as great as that of the bodies. But all these cittas are ultimately connected with the original one which is in the form of asmită). Patanjali has mentioned five means of the creation of such cittas, viz., birth, medicine, mantra, austerity and meditation."
According to him, the soul, emancipated from the worldly bondage, also can exercise his power to create nirmana-cittas."7
12. Exercising the power of projecting the protean bodies
The soul resides in the body. It has innumerable number of soul-units which, in special circumstances, are expanded outside the body. Such expansion is called samudghāta which is of seven types, due to (1) sensation, (2) passions, (3) impending death, (4) protean body, (5) fiery body, (6) conveyance body, and (7) prematurely exhausting sensation-karma by the omniscient.
When the soul exercises its power of creating various images (bodies), it expands its soul-units outside the body. In such circumstances, it employs its protean power to create various forms. This is the first step in such creation. At the second stage, it creates a vertical column which is numerable yojanas in length; its breadth and thickness are equal to that of the body of the soul. Such image is made up of the
Page #36

- 12:
Bhagavai 3:1:4 combination of the soul-units and the karmic particles. At the third stage, there is appropriation of the fine particles of gems, after rejecting the gross ones. At the fourth stage, the soul exercises the protean power for the second time, in order to create the desired images.
The fine particles of varieties of gems are utilized for the creation of varieties of images. In the world of science, the use of laser rays is prevalent today, which is a sort of utilizing the fine particles of gems. The Vrtti here raises the question as to- 'how the particles of the gems which are gross by nature could be utilized for the creation of the protean bodies? The creation of the protean bodies should need specific material particles that are suitable for the purpose'. The Vrtti answers the query in a language which is metaphorical. In its opinion, the mention of gems has been made in order to imply the specific nature of particles, suitable to the creation of the protean body. So, in the present Sūtra, the reference is not to the gems like diamonds, rubies etc., but to the material particles that are as precious as the gems for creating the protean body. The Vrtti has mentioned another opinion which purports to point out that the soul initially accepts gross material particles for the creation of the protean body, but afterwards they are transformed into material particles suitable for the protean forms."
It is evident from the plain meaning of the original text that the fine particles of the gems were used for creating (protean) bodies. So, there should be no difficulty in the transformation of those particles into material particles, suitable for the creation of the protean body. Semantics: Tantrī --- lute, stringed instrument. Tata -- palm of the hand. Tāla -- rhythmic clapping of the hands to produce music. A musical instrument made up of the bell-metal. The Vrtti has explained tala-tāla as clapping of hands. Alternately, it explains tala as hands and tāla as the bell-metal.20 Mrdanga --.a kind of drum. The Vrtti explains ghana-mrdanga as a cubic drum and gives mardala as its synonym.21 Nābhi-hub of the wheel. Vajramani - diamond. In the Kautilya's Arthaśāstra, 22 we find a detailed description of vajramani. Vaidūryamaņi ---- lapis lazuli; it may be a "cat's eye" gem, a precious grey coloured stone or may be of red, yellow or green colour. Lohitākṣa it is black in the centre and red on the border; it is also called lohitāka, coral. Masäragalla - masära means an emerald; it may be a polished precious stone or a metal which has a colour of coral. Hansagarbha -- topaz, a kind of lapis lazuli.23 Pulaka — a kind of stone or gem, a flaw or defect in a gem. It has a black spot in the middle. In the Kautilya's Arthśästra, there is a list of eighteen kinds of gems, which

They dwell there enjoying celestial pleasures while living in their own mansions, exercising their authority upon their respective co-chiefs and chief queens. They possess such great fortune...... up to such capability of creating the protean bodies. Just like the clasping of the hand of a maiden by a youth or the hub of a wheel of a cart connected with spokes from all sides, O Gautama, every co-chief of Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras, creates the protean images...... up to he creates the protean images for the second time. Capable indeed is each co-chief of Camara, the chief and the king of the Asuras, of covering, overlaying, pervading, touching and densely filling up the entire Island of Jambūdvīpa with numerous Asurakumāra gods and goddesses.
Moreover, O Gautama, each co-chief of Camara, the chief and the king of the Asuras, is capable of covering, overlaying, pervading, touching and densly filling up with numerous Asurakumāra gods and goddesses the horizontal region of innumerable islands and oceans.

Bhagavat 3:1:7-9
Asuras, possess such great fortune...... up to such mastership of creating the protean forms, then the possessors of how great fortune...... up to mastership in creating the protean bodies are the chief queens of Camara, the chief and the king of the Asuras?
O Gautama, the chief queens of Camara, the chief and the king of the Asuras, are possessed of great fortune...... up to great power. They exercise authority over their respective mansions, their respective one hundred co-chief goddesses, their respective elderly women, their respective assemblies....... up to they are possessed of such great fortune. The rest of the description is like that of the custodians.

"That is exactly so, O Lord!; that is exactly so, O Lord!" In this way, Lord Agnibhuti, the second (chief disciple) of Gautama lineage, paid homage and obeisance to the Ascetic Lord Mahavira. Having thus paid homage and obeisance, he reached the place where the Ascetic Vayubhūti, the third (chief disciple) of Gautama lineage, was sojourning. Having reached there, he addressed him thus: O Gautama, the Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras, is possessed of such great fortune. Here follows the entire description up to that of the chief queens, which was related by Agnibhūti, without being asked to do so.

Now, the Ascetic Vayubhüti, the third (chief disciple) of Gautama lineage, did not have faith, trust, interest, in what was narrated, spoken of, intimated and propounded by the Ascetic Agnibhüti, the second (chief disciple) of Gautama lineage. Having no faith, no trust, no interest he got up and reached the place where the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra was residing...... up to offering adoration, and asked (see Bha. 1.10) the Ascetic Agnibhüti, the second (chief disciple) of Gautama lineage narrates thus, speaks thus, intimates thus: O

Is it so, O Lord? The Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra uttered: 'O Gautama', and addressed the Ascetic Vāyubhūti, the third (chief disciple) of Gautama lineage, thus: O Gautama, as the Ascetic Agnibhūti, the second (chief disciple) of Gautama lineage narrates, speaks, intimates and propounds to you, it is indeed true, I also, O Gautama, narrate thus, speak thus, intimate thus, propound thus that Camara, the chief and the king of the Asuras, is possessed of great fortune....

Having offered homage and obeisance, he reached the place where the Ascetic Agnibhūti, the second (chief disciple) of Gautama lineage was sojourning. Having reached there, he offers homage and obeisance to him. Having offered homage and obeisance, he solicited pardon

Thereafter, the Ascetic Vāyubhūti, the third (chief disciple) of Gautama lineage, together with the Ascetic Agnibhūti, the second (chief disciple) of Gautama lineage, repaired to the place where the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra was sojourning ...... up to offering adoration, and addressed him thus, “If, O Lord, Camara, the chief and the king of the Asuras, is possessed of such great fortune ...... up to the power of creating the protean bodies, then, O Lord, how great fortune ....... up to the power of creating the protean bodies, is possessed of by Bali, the chief and the king of Vairocana. Bali, the chief and the king of Vairocana, is possessed of great fortune ...... up to great power. The description of Bali is just like the description of Camara, the difference being only in respect of the Island of Jambūdvīpa, which is replaced by an area slightly bigger than that of the Island of Jambūdvīpa. The entire account otherwise is the same. There is another difference in the number of mansions and the co-chief gods, which are respectively
thirty hundred thousand and sixty hundred thousand respectively. 3.13 sevam bhamte! sevam bhamte! tti tacce goyame vāyubhūi anagāre samanam

Having paid homage and obeisance, he seated himself neither too near nor too far, with keen desire to listen, in front of the Lord, bowing down with folded hands as a mark of
humility, offering adoration. 3.14 tate nam se docce goyame aggibhūī anagāre samanam bhagavam mahāvīram

Then, the Ascetic Agnibhuti, the second (chief disciple) of Gautama lineage, offered homage and obeisance to the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra. Having offered homage and obeisance, he addressed him thus: If, O Lord, Bali, the chief and the king of Vairocana, is possessed of such great fortune...... up to the mastership of creating such protean bodies, then, O Lord, how great fortune ...... up to the mastership of creating such protean bodies, is possessed of by Dharana, the chief and the king of the Nägakumaras?
O Gautama, Dharana, the chief and the king of the Nāgakumāras, is possessed of great fortune...... up to great power. He is the possessor of forty hundred thousand mansions, six thousand co-chief gods, thirty-three ministers, four custodians, six chief queens with retinue, three assemblies, seven armies, seven army chiefs, twenty-four thousand sentinels and many other gods and goddesses (over whom he has sovereignty). He is capable of creating such number of protean bodies, just like the clasping of hand of a maiden by a youth etc., up to that can fill up entire Island of Jambudvipa ...... up to numberable islands and oceans in the horizontal direction with numerous Nagakumāras... up to creating the protean bodies.
As regards the number of co-chiefs, ministers, custodians and chief queens, they are just like that of Camara, excepting that numerable islands and oceans are to be mentioned here.

Having addressed as ‘O Lord', the Lord Agnibhūti, the ascetic and the second (chief disciple) of Gautama lineage, offered homage and obeisance to the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra. Having offered homage and obeisance, he addressed him thus: “If, O Lord, the chief and the king of the Luminous gods is possessed of such great fortune ..... up to such mastership of creating the protean bodies, then how great fortune ...... up to mastership in creating the protean bodies is possessed of by Sakra, the chief and the king of gods? O Gautama, Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, is possessed of great fortune ..... up to great power. He enjoys the sovereignty over twenty-two hundred thousand celestial abodes, eighty-four thousand co-chief gods, thirty-three ministers, four custodians, eight chief queens with retinue, three assemblies, seven armies, seven army-chiefs, three hundred thirty-six thousand sentinels and other gods and goddesses. He is possessed of such great fortune and such great mastership in creating the protean bodies. In this way, the description of Sakra is like that of Camara. There is, however, exception in that Sakra can fill up an area of two Island of Jambūdvīpas by the protean images created by himself. The rest of the description is the same (as in the case of Camara). O Gautama, this is indeed merely the description of the domain of Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, though he did never exercise such protean power in the past, nor does he exercise such power at present, nor will he do
so in the future. 3.17 jai nam bhamte! sake devimde devarāyā emahiddhie jāva evatiyam ca nam

Then, the god Tişyaka, just born, attains five-fold maturations' (viz., alimentary, bodily, sensory, respiratory and vocal). Then, on his attaining the five-fold maturations, the gods born in the assembly of co-chiefs acclaimed him with victory and conquest, by rotating their folded hands displaying their ten nails in front of his face. Having thus acclaimed, they addressed him thus: Oh thou, the beloved of gods, hath achieved, obtained

O Lord, how great fortune...... up to how great mastership in creating the protean bodies are possessed of by god Tisyaka?
O Gautama, Tisyaka god is possessed of great fortune... up to great power. He lives there exercising sovereignty over his own space-abode, four thousand co-chiefs, four chief queens with retinue; three assemblies, seven armies, seven army-chiefs, sixteen thousand sentinels and many other Empyrean gods and goddesses. Possessed of such great fortune...... up to mastership of creating the protean bodies, just like a youth clasping the hands of a maiden, etc.,...... up to like that of Sakra. This is indeed merely the description of the domain of Tisyaka god though he did never exercise such protean power in the past, nor does he exercise such power at present, nor will he do so in the future.
Bhāṣya
1. The celestial bed covered with celestial wrapper in the Hall of birth by descent:
There are three types of birth: by agglutination of material particles, by the womb, and by descent. Gods are born by descent. Their birthplace is called the Hall of birth by descent. In that Hall, there is a celestial bed with a bed-sheet. The bedsheet is covered by a celestial robe. According to Siddhasenagaṇī, the god is born in between the bed-sheet and the celestial robe and absorbs the protean material particles to build his protean body. He does not build his body by the material particles of the bed-sheet or the celestial robe. Nor does he build his protean body by the semen and blood of the parents. His birth consists in reaching the place of celestial bed in the Hall of birth by descent.'
2. The height of the innumerableth part of a finger-breadth
At the time of birth, the height of the embryo is equal to the innumerableth part of the finger-breadth. The maximum height varies from individual to individual. The minimum height is equal to the innumerableth part of the finger-breadth. 3. State of maturity attained through five kinds of maturation
Maturation relates to the stream of life. The formation of the body starts with the types of bio-potential which are six in number. The soul begins all six varieties of bio-potential simultaneously, but completes them successively, beginning with
Page #47
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 3:1:17-18
~:23:~
the alimentary bio-potential which involves the attraction of various types of material particles suitable for constructing the body, senses, respiration, speech and mind respectively. The gods, like other thinking beings, are endowed with mind. The souls, endowed with mind, have necessarily all the six bio-potentials. But in spite of that, here the attainment of only five bio-potentials has been mentioned. The Vrtti comments on the problem by pointing out that the identity of the bio-potential of speech and mind is intended in the Sutra in deference to the opinion of some Acāryas who were deeply learned in the scripture. There does not appear any definite reason given by the Vṛtti. According to Malaygiri, there is very slight temporal gap between the formations of these two bio-potentials, and so they have been identified, for the practical purpose."
The process of bio-potentials starts at the very first time-unit of birth. There is, however, difference of time in their completion. The alimental bio-potential is completed in one time-unit. Each of the remaining five completes their bio-potentials within a period of one Indian hour (i.e., 48 minutes). According to Nemichandra, the rule of temporal completion is applicable only in the case of gross bodies. The rule for the completion in the case of protean body is quite different. In the case of gods, the bio-potential of speech and mind are completed simultaneously. This is why these two bio-potentials have been considered identical."
This problem can be considered from the standpoint of anatomy and physiology. There is a close relationship between the speech-organ and mental activity. Memory, thought and imagination which are the functions of the mind are not possible without speech. On these grounds, speech and mind can be considered identical. There is perhaps a close relationship between speech-bio-potential and mind-bio-potential in the case of the protean body. So, their identity might have been accepted in the present Sutra.

If, O Lord, Tisyaka god is possessed of such great fortune... up to the mastership in creating the protean bodies, then, how great fortune is possessed of by the remaining co-chiefs of Sakra, the chief and the king of gods-all these descriptions are as before up to O Gautama, the description of the protean power of each co-chief of Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, has been propounded merely as a topic, though, no god did actually exercise such protean power in the past, nor does he exercise such power in the present, nor will he do so in the future. The descriptions of the ministers, the custodians and the chief queens are just like that of Camara, the exception being that each of the ministers, custodians and chief queens can pervade by his (or her) protean images an area that is equal to that of two Island of Jambudvipas. The rest of the description is the same.

The Lord Vayubhūti, the ascetic and the third (chief disciple) of Gautama lineage, uttered: 'O Lord' and offered homage and obeisance to the Ascetic Lord Mahavira. Having offered homage and obeisance, he addressed him thus: "If, O Lord, Sakra, the chief and the king of gods (of the first heaven) is possessed of such great fortune...... up to mastership in creating the protean bodies, then, O Lord, possessed of how great fortune is Iśana, the chief and the king of gods (of the second heaven)?

If, O Lord, Iśāna, the chief and the king of gods, is possessed of such great fortune ...... up to the mastership in creating such protean bodies, then, possessed of how great fortune, etc., is the Ascetic Kurudattaputra who was the disciple of your goodself, the beloved of gods, and who was by nature virtuous ..... up to modest, observed three continuous fasts, taking single rough cereal as breakfast and practising austerity with upraised arms, facing the sun, exposing his body to the sun on the sunbaked ground and completing six full months of ascetic life, emaciating himself by fortnight long scrapping penance, observing fast unto death by missing thirty meals and having confessed the lapses and resolved not to repeat them again, in the state of ecstasy, he passed away in due course taking birth in the Isäna heaven, in his own celestial abode in the Hall of birth by descent, on celestial bed covered by celestial wrapper in the Hall of birth by descent, his physical height being an innumerableth part of finger-breadth, incarnating as a co-chief god to īšāna, the chief and the king of gods. Here, in the case of Kurudattaputra follows the same description as in the case of Tişyaka, excepting that the area filled up by the protean bodies is equal to the area slightly bigger than two complete Jambū islands. A similar description follows here about cochiefs, ministers, custodians and chief queens ...... up to 'O Gautama, the subject of the protean power of such chief queen of Iśāna, the chief and the king of gods, is merely the description of her domain, though she did never exercise such protean power in the past, nor does she exercise such power in the present, nor will she do so in the future'.

There is a similar description in the case of Sanatkumāra also, excepting the pervaded area which, in this case, is equal to the area of four complete Jambu islands and horizontally innumerable islands and oceans.
There is a similar description in the case of the co-chiefs, the ministers, the custodians and the chief queens.' All of them project their protean forms in innumerable islands and oceans. Beginning from Sanatkumāra, all the custodians above them project their protean forms over innumerable islands and oceans in the horizontal direction.
Bhāṣya
1. The chief queens
Goddesses are born only in the first two heavens, viz., Saudharma and Isana. Sanatkumara is the third heaven. The mention of the chief queen in the third heaven is not relevant. The Vṛtti has discussed this problem, according to which, th goddesses born in the Saudharma heaven visit the Sanatkumara heaven where they are enjoyed by the gods of that heaven. The mention of chief queens in the Sanatkumāra heaven has been made with reference to their visit to that heaven to satisfy the gods there.'
Although the Vrtti has tried to rationalize the mention of goddesses in the Sanatkumāra heaven, yet the subject needs further consideration. Our text does not mention goddesses in general but it mentions only the chief queen. It cannot be denied that the reading of the phrase aggamahisi (chief queen) as found place in the main scripture is a stereotype. The preceding dialogue about Isäna has been verbally imitated here. In fact, the reading in the present Satra should be tavattisagalogapālāṇam. In the Pannavana, there is a reading that avoids the word agramahisi. This strongly confirms our guess. Srimajjayācārya has quoted the opinion of the Vrtti and commented that the expressions agramahisi had been used in a general way. There is no mention of this phrase in the subsequent Sutra.

Near that house, there is a multitude which sights a huge thunder cloud, or a water-bearer cloud, or a stormy wind, approaching it. Having sighted it, the multitude enters into the house and takes shelter there. In that sense, O Gautama, it is said that it has departed to his body, it has merged into his body.

In the Panhavägaraṇaim and Dasão, the expression kuṭāgāra has been used." In the Vrtti on the Panhävägaranaim, it has been explained as a mansion with a peak. In the Nisitha Carni, the term kuṭāgāra has been explained as "a house of the shape of hill on the upper floor." We find the phrase kujugaraśālā in the Bhagavai and Rayapasanaiyam. Both Malayagiri and Abhayadevasuri have explained it as a house of the shape of a peak. Malayagiri has given another meaning: a house with a top like the peak of a mountain."
In the commentary on the Caraka Sutra (14.27), kuṇāgāra has been explained as "a circular or round room." The description of kutagarasälä in the Bhagavai implies that it was a house with its upper part like the peak of a mountain. It was plastered on both sides- interior and exterior-with cow-dung etc.. It was protected it had a rampart outside it. Its doors were well-protected, it was airless, there being no passage for the entry of air. It was a deep airless huge structure." Precisely speaking, it was a secret house with the upper part appearing as a mountainpeak, with a big hall in the interior depth (comparable with the modern 'bunker'). 1. (a) Panhã. 4.7.

gods, acquire, achieve and attain that divine celestial fortune, divine celestial splendour and divine celestial power?
Bhasya
1. Sutra 30
Five questions have been asked about how Isana, the king of gods, could achieve such celestial fortune: [i] what did he offer in alms, fiil what kind of food did he consume, [iii! what did he practise, [iv] what discipline did he follow, [v] what did he hear? The Vṛtti has answered these questions: He offered food etc., in alms, he consumed rough and dry (insipid) food, he practised meditation and so on and followed the ascetic discipline.' By such means, a person earns merit (punya) and is born as a god. Tamali practised austerity and he became Iśāna, the chief of gods. This is an example of the practice of penance, about which is asked the question by undertaking 'what kind of penance' Isäna became the king of gods? The fortune of Subāhukumāra illustrates the reply to "by offering what in alms." In his life as Sumukha, he offered acceptable food to a monk, and bound the life-span of a human being.2

Then once, around the midnight while the householder Mauryaputra Tāmalī was wakefully pondering on his family affairs, there arose in his mind such internal, recollective, wishful and mental resolve: 'At present, I am getting the beneficial fruits of my past, old, righteous, well exerted, auspicious and beneficial karma, on account of which I am thriving in silver, gold, wealth, grain, progeny, cattle, huge fortune, precious metal, precious stone, gem, pearl, conchshell, inferior gems, coral, red gems, best objects, riches, I am thriving more and more. Should I now wantonly squander away the rewards of my past, old, well-practised, enthusistically undertaken, auspicious and beneficial karma?
"Therefore, during this period of my thriving in silver etc., ..... up to while I am thriving more and more, and my friends, kinsmen, near ones, own people, relatives, attendants respect me, recognize me, greet me, revere me and offer adoration to me as a lucky, auspicious deity and shrine with humbleness, it would be beneficial for me to prepare myself a wooden bowl next morning on the rise of the thousand-rayed brightly shining sun at the end of the night and to get prepared plentiful food, drink, dainties and delicacies, and to invite friends, kinsmen, near ones, own people, relatives and attendants. I shall then honour and respect those friends, kinsmen, near ones, own people, relatives and attendants with profuse food, drink, dainties and delicacies, clothes, perfumes, garlands and ornaments. And in the presence of those friends, kinsmen, near ones, own people, relatives and attendants, I shall install my eldest son as the head of the family. And then with the consent of my friends, kinsmen, near ones, own people, relatives, attendants and the eldest son, I shall ceremonially take up the wooden bowl, shave my head and initiate myself in a hermit's life called prāņāma pravrajyā. Being thus initiated, I shall impose on myself this restrictive resolve: it behoves me to lead my life by exposing my body to the sun on the sunbaked ground with upraised arms, practising austerity of continuous two-day fasting till the end of my life; on the breakfast day after the two-day fasting, coming out of the sunbaked ground with my wooden bowl, I shall visit the high, the low and the middle class families of the city of Tāmralipti for begging alms, accepting the pure (acceptable) rice from all houses without distinction. Having accepted the pure (acceptable) rice, I shall wash them twenty-one times by water before consuming them'. Having reflected thus, at twilight rext morning on the rise of the thousand-rayed sun brightly shining, he himself prepares the wooden bowl. Having prepared the bowl, he gets plentiful of food, drink, dainties and delicacies cooked. Having got them cooked, he takes bath, offers oblation, puts auspicious mark on his forehead,

At meal time, he sits in the dining hall on a comfortable seat. Having thus seated himself, he relishes the plentiful food, drink, sweetmeats and dainties in the company of those friends, kinsmen, near ones, own people, relatives and attendants. Relishing them to his heart's content, distributing them and enjoying them, he passes his time. After finishing the meal, he washes his mouth. Having washed his mouth, he is perfectly clean and purified. Then he went to his sitting place where he honours and offers respect to those friends, kinsmen, family members, own people, relatives and attendants with that profuse food, drink, dainties and delicacies, and offering them clothes, perfumes, garlands and ornaments. Then in the presence of those friends, kinsmen, family members, own people, relatives, attendants, he installs his eldest son as the head of the family. Having installed him thus, he sought consent of those friends, kinsmen, family members, own people, relatives, attendants and the eldest son. Having obtained their consent, he shaves his head and initiates himself in the discipline of prāņāma pravrajyā. Having initiated himself thus, he imposed upon himself the restrictive resolve: for whole life till death I shall practise two-day fasts ...... up to I shall consume only rice washing them twenty-one times. Having thought thus and imposing upon himself the restrictive resolve, he practises uninterrupted two-day fasting till the end of his life. He passed his days on the sunbaked ground with upraised arms, exposing his body to the heat of the sun. On the breakfast day after two-day fasting, he departs from the sunbaked ground with the wooden bowl in his hand for begging alms in the city of Tāmralipti from the high, the low and the middle class families without distinction. In his tour, he accepts only rice and consumes them after washing them twenty-one times.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 33
In the present Sūtra, the causal relation has been established between wholesome acts done in the past and the prosperity in silver, gold, wealth etc., in this life. This was the doctrine in the tradition of the ancient ascetics. Here, the doctrine of Lord Mahāvīra has not been mentioned. It was accepted by the people in general that one earns wealth, gold, grain etc., by means of his wholesome acts. The topic has not been discussed as an established doctrine of karma.

Such thought acted as a strong plea and inspiration for Tāmali to lead a holy ascetic life. jñāti - kinsman. nijaka - maternal or paternal relatives. ceiyam -- see Bhūsya on Bha. 1.5. parijana - attendants etc.* parijänāti --- Here, it means “to accept as a master." suddhodana -- Pure rice devoid of soup, vegetables etc āsvādmāna, visvādamāna -- The Vrtti sanskritizes these words as asvādayan, visvādayan.

What' is the meaning, O Lord, of the phrase 'pränämä pravrajyä"? Gautama, the person initiated in the 'pränämä pravrajya' offers obeisance to whomever and wherever he happens to meet-Indra or Skanda or Rudra or Śiva or Vaisramaņa or Arya or Kauftakriyä (goddess Candikä) or a king or a prince or a vassal or a lieutenant or a servant or a rich head of guild or a general or a trade leader or a crow or a dog or a candala; when he meets a high class person, he offers obeisance with extra-ordinary humbleness; when he meets a low class person, he offers obeisance with commonplace humbleness. He offers obeisance according to the status of the person. Gautama, on this account it is called 'prāṇāmā pravrajya' (initiation that prescribes obeisance).
Bhasya
1. Sutra 34
This Sutra defines the nature of praṇāmā pravrajyä. The Vṛtti has given the etymological meaning of the phrase as the discipline that prescribes obeisance is called prānāmā.
Semantics
Indra-chief of gods.
Skanda-Kärtikeya, the son of Mahadeva.
Rudra Mahadeva.
Siva-this is synonymous with Mahadeva. The Vṛtti identifies him with a forest god. Alternately, a god in a cruel posture can be called Rudra and a god in a tranquil posture can be called Siva.2
Vaisravana -the custodian of the northern cardinal point.
Arya-Candika in her tranquil posture.
Kottakriya-Candika killing the Mahisäsura."

Pāņa — cāndāla. Isvara ...... sārthavāha --- see Bhāsya on Bha. 2.30. 2. Offers obeisance to a high class person, offers obeisance to a low class person
These two propositions specify the difference in offering obeisance. Obeisance was not a uniform process. It was offered to a high class respectable personality with a special mode of humbleness, whereas in offering obeisance to a low class or non-respectable person, commonplace humbleness was shown. In such acts, humbleness does not appear to be the main factor but the mentality of 'like person, like obeisance' is prominent here.

Then, once, around the midnight, while Tāmali who was practising unenlightened austerity2 was pondering over the transitory nature of things, there arose in him such internal, recollective, wishful and mental resolve, “My body has turned dry, rough (Bha. 3.35) .... up to strewn over with veins, on account of my practising austerity that is lofty, longdrawn, approved (by the scripture), respected, salutary, unhindered, fortunate, auspicious, resplendent, progressive, magnanimous, excellent, unperplexed and vastly impressive; and till I have enthusiasm, karma (action), strength, energy, self-exertion and self-efficiency, it will be beneficial for me to ask tomorrow in the twilight of the morning on the rise of the thousand-rayed sun, shining brightly, those persons whom I had met in the city of Tāmralipti, those heretical ascetics and householders with whom I had talked, people with whom I was acquainted before initiating myself into ascetic life and also with whom, I made acquaintance during my ascetic life; after asking them, I should pass through the middle of the city of Tāmralipti, and putting aside my religious outfit of wooden footwear, kamandalu and wooden bowl in a lonely place, I should mark out a spot of the length of my body in the north-eastern corner of the city of Tāmralipti and absorb myself in the practice of scraping penance, giving up food and drink to fast unto death without any hankering for death.” He reflects thus. Having reflected thus, next day in the twilight of the morning, on the rise of the thousand-rayed sun, shining brightly, he sought consent of those persons whom he had met in the city of Tāmralipti, those heretical ascetics and householders with whom he had talked, people with whom he was acquainted before initiating himself into ascetic life, and also with whom he made acquaintance during his ascetic life. Having sought their consent, he passes through the middle of the city of Tāmralipti, having passed through, he deposits his footwear, outfit of kamandalu etc., and the wooden pot in a lonely place; having deposited them, he marks out a spot of the length of his body in the north-eastern corner of the city of Tāmralipti; having marked out, he undertakes the scraping penance and gives up food and drink and engages himself in the fast unto death.

Bhagavai 3:1:35-36 2. By the act of unenlightened austerity (sūtra 35), the ascetic practising unenlightened austerity (sūtra 36)
Here the expression bāla (unenlightened) has been used to denote 'deluded world-view', and non-abstinence. The austerity devoid of enlightened world-view is called bălatapa, and the practitioner of such austerity is called bālatapasvi. There are four reasons that lead to birth in heaven. Out of them, the third is unenlightened austerity. Even though the austerity practised by Tāmali was free from any kind craving or desire for reward, it was within the domain of unenlightened austerity on account of the absence of enlightened world-view. 3. Wakeful thought about the transitoriness of things
Acquisition of things is impermanent. Reflection on such nature of things is wakeful thinking about their transitoriness. 4. Lofty etc.,
See Bhäsya on Bha. 2.64. 5. Heretical asetic (Pāşandastha)
A person ordained as an ascetic is pāşandastha. Tāmali was a hermit. There were five kinds of ascetics; one among them was called hermit (Tāpasa).So Tāmali had association with ascetics. Tāmalī took consent of these ascetics who are ditthābhattha. He also took consent of those householders who were his old associates, that is, who were acquainted with him in his householder's life. He also took the consent of those who were acquainted with him during his ordained life. From all these descriptions, it follows that Tāmalī was not initiated by any guru. Had he any guru, he would have sought his permission for fasting. Skandaka fasted with the approval of Lord Mahāvīra (Bha. 2.67). In the present account, there is no mention of the consent of any guru or ācārya. 6. Preparation for fasting unto death
See Bhāsya on Bha. 2.49.
The points of difference between undertaking the fasting unto death by Skandaka and the same by Tāmalī are as follows -
Skandaka
Tāmali
1. spreading grass on an earthen slab Marking out a spot of his body's length 2. in crossed leg posture 3. chanting namostu twice 4. undertaking the great vows
The nivartana ksetra (marked out spot) - It is a kind of measurement. The

Bhagavai 3:1:35-37
-: 39:author of the Vrtti does not give any clear definition. He has also mentioned an opinion according to which a ground of the length of the body is called nivartana:) A nivartana is twenty dandas or eighty cubits in length. Four aratanis (a closed fist hand) make one danda. Ten dandas make one rajju; three rajjus make one nirva-tana. According to the Lilāvatī, 10 cubits = bamboo. 20 bamboos = 1 nivartana. Thus different measures of a nivartana are available in different places. The hermit Tāmali marked out a spot for his fasting, which was bigger than ten cubits in length. 7. Nivanna
The Vrtti has sanskritized the word as nispanna.' But the Prakrit equivalent of nispanna should be nippanna or nipphanna. The Sanskrit equivalent of nivanna may be nipanna which means 'lying down'. Skandaka undertook fasting unto death in crossed-leg posture. May be, Tāmalī undertook the fast in lying posture. The kāyotsarga is performed in three postures— sitting, standing and lying. It is not possible to fast in standing posture, which can be done only while sitting or lying. Among the ascetics, the practice of lying posture in kāyotsarga was prevalent.
For the meanings of pādukā, kundikā etc., see Bhāsya, on Bha. 2.31. Semantics ditthābhattha — It consists of two words : dittha and ābhattha. The meaning of the word dittha is—'whom he had met' and äbhattha is 'whom he had talked with'. Abhattha is a desi word.

Bhāṣya
1. Without Indra and Purohita
In the present Sütra, there are two words- anindra and apurohita. There are ten ranks among gods: chiefs, co-chiefs, ministers, counsellors, sentinels, custodians, army chiefs, citizens, attendants and menials. There is no mention of priest (Purohita) among them. In the TBh., the ministers (Trayastrimsa) have been identified as priest (Purohita). The Vṛtti has described the function of Purohita as maintaining peace. According to it, the Purohita is attached to Indra (chief). In the absence of Indra, there is no Purohita. So, we find the mention of two words: anindra and apurohita together.'
In the present context, the argument of the Vṛtri deserves scrutiny. If, in the absence of Indra, there is the absence of Purohita, how could then the ranks of cochiefs etc. be possible? How would the chief queens be possible? Here Purohita should be taken as an adjective qualifying Indra. The Asurakumāra gods focus on the absence of Indra with considerable force, when they exclaim: "We have no Indra-there is nobody to rule us, there is no Purohita, there is none occupying the position of the chief. It is clearly evident from such utterances that Indra and Purohita are not two distinct persons. It is also not relevant to discuss the question of Purohita in connection with Indra. In sutra 38, there are three phrases: 'under the control of Indra', 'controlled by Indra', 'working under the control of Indra'-which strongly support our contention.
The Vitti has explained Purohita as a 'maintainer of peace'. But the expression Purohita has also the following meanings as pointed out by Apte's "The Practical Sanskrit-English Dictionary': placed in front, appointed, charged, one charged with a business, an agent, a family priest, one who conducts all the ceremonial rites of the family.*

Then, a good many Asurakumāra gods and goddesses, inhabiting the capital city, named Balicañcā, sight Tāmalī, the unenlightened hermit, by their clairvoyance (intuition and knowledge). Having sighted him, they call one another. Having called one another, they spoke thus: “O beloved of gods! the capital city Balicañcā is without Indra and without Purohita. O beloved of gods! we are under the control of Indra, we are controlled by Indra, and all our work is controlled by Indra. O beloved of gods! the unenlightened hermit Tāmali has marked out a spot of his body's length in the northeastern direction, outside the city of Tāmralipti, and is practising the scraping penance; he has given up food and drink and is fasting unto death in a lying posture. O beloved of gods, it would be beneficial for us to induce the unenlightened hermit Tāmalī for the resolve to stay (i.e., to get reincarnation at Balicañcā." Having pondered thus, they promised one another. Having promised, they walked out through the middle of the capital city, Balicancā. Having done so, they reached the Rucakendra Utpāta Mountain. Having reached there, they assumed protean bodies. Having done so, they created para-protean bodies. Having done so, they proceeded towards the Island of Jambūdvīpa, passing in horizontal direction through innumerable islands and oceans in highest speed that was hasty, quick, terrible, accelerating,

Having reached there, they stationed themselves in the sky just above the unenlightened hermit Tāmali and display their divine celestial fortune, divine celestial splendour, divine celestial power and thirty-two of celestial danceforms. Having displayed them, they circumambulated the hermit Tāmali thrice, starting from the right side. Circumambulating thus, they offered homage and obeisance. Having offered homage and obeisance, they addressed him thus: O beloved of gods! we, Asurakumāra gods and goddeses, the inhabitants of the capital city Balicañcā, offer you homage and obeisance, greet you and honour you; for us, you are well-wisher, benevolent, divine and delightsome for us. So we offer our adoration. O beloved of gods! the capital city Balicañcā is without Indra and without Purohita. O beloved of gods, we are under the control of Indra, we are controlled by Indra, all our activities are control by Indra, so O beloved of gods, be kind enough to have discriminative consideration for the capital city Balicañ cā, have keenness in it, take interest in it, have keen desire, make the resolve to stay there. Departing from here in due course, please take birth in the capital city Balicañcā, and be our Indra; you will then enjoy celestial pleasures with us.
Bhāsya 1. Sthitiprakalpa
To resolve to stay (i.e., to take reincarnation) at Balicañcā.' 2. Swift ....... celestial
There are nine adjectives that qualify the speed of gods. The Vrtti has given merely their etymological senses. The ancient tradition which gives exact explanation of these adjectives is not available. 3. Sapakkhim sapadidisim
Stationing themselves in the sky just above Tāmalī; when a person or thing is situated exactly above or below another person or thing, such situation is called sapaksa or sapratidik. The nasal element in sapakkhim is according to the Prakrit idiom.' In the Thānam we find these two words frequently used. 4. Thirty-two dance-forms
See Rayapasenaijja, 65-118 for the thirty-two dance-forms. 5. Adhaha .... thitipakappam pakareha
By these six expressions, the successive stages of resolve have been indicated.
The first stage of resolve is respect. In the absence of the feeling of respect, the resolve is not fulfilled.
The second stage is discriminating view of the object of resolve, in the absence of which the success is not achieved.

Bhagavai 3:1:38-41

The third stage is awareness which is very much necessary for fulfilling the resolve.
The fourth stage is 'keen interest in the purpose of the resolve' without which success is not attained.
The fifth stage is 'keen desire for the success of the resolve'. Deep craving for the fulfillment of the resolve is very much in demand for achieving the end.
The Asurakumāra gods and goddesses enunciated these five stages for the fulfillment of the resolve to stay'. These are supremely important for autosuggestlogy and goal-achievement. 1. Bha.

Then, the unenlightened hermit Tāmalī, having practised discipline of a hermit for full sixty thousand years, undertook a two month scraping penance and emaciated his body by fasting, missing one hundred twenty meals and meeting death in due course, was born in the iśäna heaven in the Išānāvatamsaka space-abode, in the hall of the birth by descent on the celestial bed under the celestial robe. The height of his body was innumerableth part of a finger-breadth. He was born as the chief of Īsāna

Then, finding that the unenlightened hermit Tamali had expired and been born in the Isäna heaven, as the Indra of gods, the good many Asurakumāra gods and goddesses, the inhabitants of the capital city Balicañcă, were surcharged with emotion, became angry, enraged and ferocious, quashing teeth with anger. They traveled out through the middle of the capital city Balicañcă. Having so traveled, in high speed....... up to they reached the city of Tamralipti in Bharatvarṣa, where the (dead) body of the unenlightened hermit Tamali was lying. They tied his left leg with a rope and spat on his face thrice, and dragged his body through triangular paths, meeting of three paths, meeting of four paths, meeting of more than four paths, four-faced paths, thoroughfares and ordinary paths, and shouting aloud, they said: "Who is that unenlightened hermit Tamali, who, of his own accord, took the dress of a hermit and initiated himself in Prāṇāma Pravaja? Who is that chief and the king of gods in the Isāna heaven?" Having said thus, they humbled, despised, rebuked, spoke ill of, insulted, abused, beat, tortured, pained and mishandled the body of unenlightened hermit Tamali. After humbling, despising, rebuking, speaking ill of, insulting, abusing, beating, torturing, paining and mishandling, they dragged the body and threw it in a lonely place. Having thrown it, they returned to the direction from which they had come.

Semantics
~:45:~
asurutta-suddenly surcharged with emotion. The Sanskrit equivalent is asurupta. The root rup with the ending kta gives rupta. In Apte's Practical Sanskrit-English Dictionary the meaning of rup is 'to disturb'. The Vṛtti explains äsurutta as 'deluded by anger'.'
camdikkiya-surcharged with ferocious emotion. It is derived from candikka. In the Bha. 12.103, there are ten synonyms of krodha. Of them, one is candikka which is a desi word."

Bhagavai 3:1:45-47 misimisemāņa - hot red with anger. Apte has explained vmis as 'to be angry'.4 sumha - rope. According to Apte, śumba means a rope. nitthuhamti ----spit. The Vrtti has explained the reading utthuhamti. hilamti..... ākadha-vikaddhim karemti — the Asurakumāra gods dishonoured the body of Tāmali which is described in ten verbs-helanā, nindā, khimsā, garhā, avamūnanā, tarjanā, tādanā, parivyathā, pravyathā and äkarşa-vikrsti. All these verbs connote high degree of dishonour, though they have different connotations according to the science of semantics. The Vrttikāra has explained them. Out of these verbs, some deserve consideration. For instance, whimsā is a desī root. The root wyath has two meanings-- fear and movement. Vyathā also means pain. But as a dead body feels no pain, the word should mean 'to move'.

How do they resolve then?
Gautama, both Sakra and Iśāna, the chiefs and the kings of the gods, mentally communicate with Sanatkumara, the chief and the king of the gods. When Sanatkumāra, the chief and the king of gods, is mentally communicated by Sakra and Isana, the chiefs and the kings of gods, he quickly appears before Sakra and Isäna, the chiefs and the kings of the gods, and whatever he says, they abide by his order, service, commandment and instructions.
Bhāṣya
1. Sūtras 56-71
In this section, the mutual relations between Sakra and Isana have been. explained. Both these chiefs have almost a common role but even then the place of İsǎna is somewhat superior, so Īsāna may deal with Sakra indifferently. Sometimes there may arise dispute between them. The boundaries of their heavens are contiguous. The dispute may relate to the boundary also or any other subject. When they fail to resolve their dispute, they make telepathy with Sanatkumāra, the lord of the third heaven. Sanatkumara instantly appears before them. The media of all their communications is telepathy. A complete account of this process is available in the Nāyādhammakahão, according to which, the throne of a god shakes, on account of his being recollected by some person. When the throne shakes, the occupant god knows, by his power of clairvoyance, the person who happens to recollect him, and then he reaches him.'

sulabhabohie, no dullabhabohie. ārāhae, no virāhae. carime, no acarime. The Topic of Sanatkumāra
Is! Sanatkumāra, the chief and the king of gods, capable of attaining liberation or is he incapable of doing so? Is he possessed of enlightened world-view or is he possessed of deluded world-view? Is his worldly existence of limited duration, or is his worldly life of infinite duration? Is it easy for him to get enlightenment, or is it difficult for him to do so? Is he a bonafied observer of the path (leading to salvation) or is he a transgressor of the path (leading to salvation)? Is he in his last birth of worldly existence? Gautama, Sanatkumāra, the chief and the king of the gods, is capable of attaining liberation, not incapable of attaining liberation. He is possessed of enlightened world-view, not deluded world-view. He has limited duration of worldly existence, it is not infinite. He is capable of easily attaining enlightenment, it is not difficult for him to do so. He is a bonafied observer of the path (leading to salvation), not the transgressor of it. He is in the last birth of his worldly life, not otherwise.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 72
In the Rāyapasenīya, six questions have been put to Suryābha god. The present Sūtra appears to be an imitation of that. It cannot be denied that the present dialogue was interpolated in the Bhagavai at the time of its compilation. Semantics bhavasiddhika - capable of attaining liberation. paritasamsāri ----one who has made limited his span of worldly existence. sulabhabodhika ---- for whom the enlightenment is easily attainable. ärādhaka---strict observer of the path (disciplines) of knowledge, faith and conduct. carama -- the Vrtti explains it in two ways: the would-be human body would be the last birth of worldly existence; this birth as god is the last birth of Sanatkumāra, the king of gods.' He will attain liberation after one more birth as a human being.
The soul which is capable of attaining liberation is of two types: (i) soul which has attained enlightenment or (ii) a soul which has not attained enlightenment. This

Bhagavai 3:1:73 is why the second question had been asked. The soul which has attainea enlightenment may or may not make limited the span of his worldly existence. This justifies the third question. The attainment of enlightenment may be either easy or difficult for such soul. Hence, the fourth question. The soul that has easily attained enlightenment may or may not be the strict observer of the path and so the fifth question. The strict observer of the path may or may not be in the last birth of his worldly existence, which justifies the sixth query. Achārya Malayagiri has discussed this issue in detail in his Vrtti on Raya.

For what reason, O Lord, has it been so said? Gautama, Sanatkumāra, the chief and the king of gods, is the wisher of welfare, wisher of happiness, wisher of well-being, compassionate, wisher of liberation, and wisher of welfare of many monks, nuns, laymen and laywomen. It is for this reason, Gautama, that Sanatkumāra, the chief and the king of gods, is capable of attaining liberation, not incapable; is possessed of enlightened world-view, not deluded world-view; is subject to limited duration of worldly existence, not infinite duration of worldly existence; is capable of attaining enlightenment easily, not with difficulty; is the bonafide observer of the path, not the transgressor; is in the last birth of worldly existence, not otherwise.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 73
In the present Sūtra, Sanatkumāra has been qualified by six adjectives, which demonstrate the deep faith of Sanatkumāra, the king of gods, in the path preached by Lord Mahāvīra. The raison d'etre of this account has not been explained in the scripture or the Cūrni or the Vrtti. Semantics hiyakāmae (hitakāmakah)--the wisher of welfare; hita means useful, beneficial,

appropriate, favourable, profitable, etc. The Vrtti explains the word as 'the object that is a means to happiness'. But sukhakāmaka is also given here. pattha (pathya) - deliverance from suffering. ānukampie (ānukampikah) - compassionate. nisseyasie (naisreyasika) - inspiring for liberation (nihśreyas).' nisesakāmae (niśreyasakāmakaḥ) - The Vrtti explains nissesa as niḥśesa (completely), but it should be nihśreyas by eliding 'ya'. In the Thānam also we find: tao thānā vavasiyassa hitāe subhāe khamāe nissesāe ānugāmiyattāe bhavamti.? The expressions hita, sukha and nihśreyasa are closely related.
The scripture clearly says that Sanatkumāra, the king of gods, wishes welfare, happiness and well-being. Some people believe that Sanatkumāra, in his past life, served the four divisions of the Jaina order with alms of food, etc., and was consequently born as king of gods. Srimajjayācārya has rejected this traditional view. He opines that the adjectives 'wisher of welfare', etc., refer to the present condition of Sanatkumāra; they have no concern with his past life.*

Bhāsya
1. Sutra 84
All the Asurakumāra gods do not aggravate the sufferings of the infernals. It is only those Asurakumāras who are full of anger that inflict sufferings on the beings of the first three infernal lands. These gods belong to the exceedingly impious class of gods. In the present Sūtra, only a general statement has been made about inflicting pain on the enemies of the past birth, by travelling down to the first three hells. The Asurakumāra gods travel there also in order to tranquillize the suffering of old friends. That the sequence of enmity or friendship extends even beyond the present birth follows from the dialogue in the present section. Acārya Bhikṣu has explained this doctrine thus---friendship follows friendship, enmity follows enmity.2 The soul has to experience the fruits of his own karma: other people can only be an instrument to aggravating or tranquillizing the effects of karma. In the present Sūtra, the importance of instrumentality has been propounded.

Bhāṣya
1. Sūtras 86-87
In these Satras, four reasons have been given for journey (of gods) to the Nandisvara Island: the celebration of birth, renunciation of worldly life, attainment of omniscience and liberation. Here the celebration of Lords" "entry into the womb" has not been mentioned. In the Jambuddiva-pannatti, two celebrations of Lord Rṣabha have been mentioned: the celebration of birth, the celebration of liberation. In the Thanam, five special occasions have been mentioned for the Tirthankara Padmaprabha: entry into mother's womb in citra constellation, birth in the same constellation, renunciation in the same constellation, attainment of omniscience in the same constellation, liberation in the same constellation. In the same way for some other tirthankaras also, five special occasions have been mentioned there, but there is no mention of celebration of such occasions in the Thanam. In the Bhagavai, 14/24, four great occasions have been mentioned. The account of celebrating the festival of birth etc. by gods has been given in the Digambara literature also. In the Buddhist literature also, the description of the god's arrival and holding celebration of the birth of the Buddha is available. The incorporation of this topic in the Bhagavati Sutra appears to be an interpolation in later times.

What' is the reason, O Lord, that the Asurakumāra gods had travelled (in the past) and will travel (in future) up to Sudharmā heaven? O Gautama, the Asurakumāra gods have enmity by birth with the Sudharmā gods. They had travelled and will travel up to Sudharmā heaven for four reasons: they create huge protean bodies to frighten the Sudharmā gods, they want to have sexual enjoyment with the goddesses there, they want to terrify the sentinels, and they steal small gems from there and flee away to a solitary place.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 90 vikuvvemäna - The Asurakumāra gods employ their protean power to create a special kind of body in order to travel ...... up to the Sudharmā heaven. According to Srimajjayācārya, they create terrible shapes to terrify the inhabitants of Sudharmā heaven. pariyāremāna -- Another reason for their journey to Sudharmā heaven is their desire to get sexual enjoyment with the goddesses of other worlds. ahālahusagāim - The Vrtti has explained it as a 'small thing'. They cannot carry big gems, so the meaning 'small thing' is relevant to the context. As an alternate explanation, the opinion of the elders has been mentioned, according to which the expression ‘alaghu' is there in the compound word 'ahālahusagāim' which means 'big' or 'best'. The word 'laghusvakā' has been used in the sense of 'small thing' at several places of the canon. For example, the goddesses of the Ratnadvīpa gets enraged even with slight offence. In the story of Dhana Sārthavāha, the expression laghusavaka is available. So, the opinion of the Vrtti is correct.
The enmity by birth of Asurakumüra gods with the gods of Sudharmā heaven echoes the events of antagonism between suru and asura in Hinduism. Copulation with goddesses and stealing gems indicate that there is no fundamental difference between human beings and gods in respect of such heinous propensities. Both human beings and gods can develop their character only by moral and religious discipline.

Bhāsya 1. Sutra 92
It is usually said that gods have only pleasures whereas infernals have only sufferings, but the truth of such statement is to be understood in relative context. The experience of feeling is of three kinds: pleasurable, painful, pleasurable 'n' painful. A question was asked: 'O Lord, do the infernals experience pleasurable feelings or painful feeling or pleasurable 'n' painful feeling?' The reply was given: 'they experience all the three kinds of feeling'.' It follows from this that gods also experience painful feeling. The gods of Sudharmā heaven strike with weapon the Asurakumāra gods who steal their gems, which cause heavily painful feeling that lasts (antarmuhūrtta) in the minimum and six months in maximum.2

O Lord, are the Asurakumāra gods, who visit the Sudharmā heaven, capable of enjoying the divine intercourse with the celestial goddesses there? It is not possible. They return from there. Having returned from there, they retire to their places. If those celestial damsels respect them, accept them, then the Asurakumāra gods are capable of enjoying divine intercourse with them. If the celestial damsels do not respect them or accept them, then the Asurakumāra gods are not capable of enjoying the divine intercourse with them.

Ten wonders have been mentioned in the Thānam,' among them there is mention of the journey of Camara, the chief and the king of Asurakumāra to the upper region, namely, the Sudharmā heaven.

Bhagavai 3:2:95 upper region ..... up to the Sudharmă heaven? Gautama, just as the tribals like) barbara, tamkana, cucuka, palhava or pulinda can thwart the cavalary, troops on elephant-back, army and troops of archers, by taking shelter in a dense forest, cave, fort, ravine, impassable land, or a mountain, so the Asurakumāra gods can travel upward ...... up to the Sudharmă heaven by taking shelter of an arhat, an arhat-caitya or an ascetic who has sanctified his self by self-restraint and austerity. Without taking their shelter, they can not travel to the upper region.
Bhāsya
1. Sutra 95
In the present Sūtra, three sheltering agents for the Asurakumāra's entry into the upper region have been mentioned : [i] adorable ones [ii] the caityas of the adorable ones (ii) the ascetic who has practised austerity. The 'adorable ones' refers to the Tirthankara (founder of the religious "ford"), or a clairvoyant, or a mindreader or an omniscient. "Caitya of the adorable ones" can have two meanings: the idol of the adorable one, or an adorable ascetic. The monk, who has sanctified his self by the pratice of self-restraint and austerity, stands for a monk who has sanctified his self by the cultivation of knowledge, faith, etc..
The Vrtti explains the phrase 'nannuttha' in two ways-nanu+atra, or na anyatra. In connection with the second interpretation, the Vrtti mentions the reading--arahante vā nissãe, uddham uppayanti.' It follows from this that the Vrtti had before it only one reading. The whole section is related to Mahāvīra. The idol of the arhat is believed to have been in the Sudharmă Assembly of Camara. Why should then Camara go to Mahāvīra for taking his shelter? No reply to this query is available. Camara had gone to the upper region only after having gone to Mahāvīra and after having taken shelter in him and so the reading adopted in the Vrtti appears reasonable. With reference to the act of showing disrespect, the reading arahantaceiyāni vā is not available. On these grounds, the reading arahantaceiyāni vā is subject to scrutiny.?
In the Uvasagudasão (1.45), in connection with the reading annautthiyapariggahiyāni vā arahantaceiyaim, the topic of conversation and offering of food and drink has been spoken of, which is related to only a person, and not any idol. On this ground, in the present section also, the meaning arhat-caitya is plausibly arhat-muni. Srimajjayācārya has explained it as 'a chadmastha tirtharkara, i.e., with vcil of ignorance. He has elaborately and critically discussed the topic.4

Then, once around the midnight, while Puraņa, the householder, was wakefully pondering over his family affairs, there arose in his mind such internal, recollective, wishful and mental resolve: ‘At present, I am getting the beneficial fruits of my past, old, righteous, well exerted, auspicious and beneficial karma, on account of which I am thriving in silver, gold, wealth, grain, progeny, cattle, huge fortune, precious metal, precious stone, gem, pearl, conchshell, inferior gems, coral, red gem, best objects, riches, I am thriving more and more. Should I now wantonly squander away the rewards of my past, old, well-practised, enthusistically undertaken, auspicious and beneficial karma? "Therefore, during this period of my thriving in silver etc., ..... up to while I am thriving more and more, and my friends, kinsmen, near ones, own people, relatives, attendants respect me, recognize me, greet me, revere me and offer adoration to me as a lucky, auspicious deity and shrine with humbleness, it would be beneficial for me to prepare myself a quadripartite wooden bowl next morning on the rise of the thousand-rayed brightly shining sun at the end of the night. Having prepared the bowl, I shall prepare plentiful food, drink, sweetmeats and dainties, and invite friends, kinsmen, near ones, own people, relatives and attendants. I shall then honour and respect those friends, kinsmen, near ones, own people, relatives and attendants with profuse food, drink, sweetmeats and dainties, clothes, perfumes, garlands and ornaments. And in the presence of those friends, kinsmen, near ones, own people, relatives and attendants, I shall install my eldest son as the head of the family. And then with the consent of my friends, kinsmen, near ones, own people, relatives, attendants and the eldest son, I shall ceremonially take up the quadripartite

Being thus initiated, I shall impose on myself this restrictive resolve: it behoves me to lead my life by exposing my body to the sun on the sunbaked ground with upraised arms, practising austerity of continuous two-day fasting till the end of my life; on the breakfast day after the two-day fasting, coming out of the sunbaked ground with my quadripartite wooden bowl, I shall visit the high, the low and the middle class families of the city of Bebhela Sannivesa for begging alms. The alms received in the first area of my quadripartite wooden bowl, I shall distribute it among the wayfarer on my way. The alms received in the second one, I shall distribute it among crows and dogs; what is received in the third area of my bowl, I shall distribute among fish and tortoises; what is received in the fourth area, would be suitable for my own consumption'. Having reflected thus, at twilight next morning, he exactly follows the same ..... upto what is received in the fourth area, he consumes himself.
Bhāsya
1. Dānāmā
This is the ascetic discipline adopted by householder Pūrana, which prescribes a special ritual for distributing and consuming alms. The follower of this discipline keeps a quadripartite wooden bowl. He distributes the alms received in the first quadrant of the bowl among the wayfarers: what is received in the second quadrant is distributed among crows and dogs: what is received in the third quadrant is distributed among fish and tortoises: what is received in the fourth quadrant is consumed by himself.

Then, once, around the midnight, while Pūraņa who was practising unenlightened austerity was pondering over the transitory nature of things, there arose in him such internal, recollective, wishful and mental resolve, "My body has turned dry, rough (Bha. 3.35) ...... up to strewn over with veins, on account of my practising austerity that is lofty, long-drawn, approved (by the scripture), respected, salutary, unhindered, fortunate, auspicious, resplendent, progressive, magnanimous, excellent, unperplexed and vastly impressive; and till I have enthusiasm, karma (action), strength, energy, self-exertion and self-efficiency, it will be beneficial for me to ask tomorrow in the twilight of the morning, on the rise of the thousand-rayed sun, shining brightly, those persons whom I had met in Bebhela Sanniveśa, those heretical ascetics and householders with whom I had talked, people with whom I was acquainted before initiating myself into ascetic life and also with whom, I made acquaintance during my ascetic life; after asking them, I should pass through the middle of Bebhela Sanniveśa, and putting aside my religious outfit of wooden footwear, kamandalu and quadripartite wooden bowl in a lonely place, I should mark out a spot half of the length of my body in the south-western corner of Bebhela Sanniveśa and absorb myself in the practice of scraping penance, giving up food and drink to fast unto death without any hankering for death.” He reflects thus. Having reflected thus, next day in the twilight of the morning, on the rise of the thousandrayed sun, shining brightly, he sought consent of those persons whom he had met in Bebhela Sanniveśa, those heretical ascetics and householders with whom he had talked, people with whom he was acquainted before

The Topic of Lord Mahavira's a Night-long Super-intensive Course
In' that period, at that time, O Gautama, I was in the eleventh year of my ascetic life with the veil of ignorance, leading the life of an ascetic sanctifying myself by the practice of self-restraint and austerity, observing uninterrupted three-days fasts. Wandering serially from village to village, I arrived at a stone-slab under an excellent Ashoka tree, in a big Ashoka garden, in the city of Sumsumarapura. Under the excellent Ashoka tree, on the stone-slab, I undertook three-days fast, with both legs closely joined and the arms fully stretched, with the eye fixed on a single material particle, with unblinking eyes, tilting my body slightly forward, fixing the limbs at their proper places, controlling all the senses, I was practising a night-long intensive course of
penance.
Bhasya
1. Sutra 105
In the present Sutra, there is a description of the super-intensive course of penance, practised by Lord Mahāvīra. In the Antagadadasão, also there is a mention of a night-long super-intensive course of penance. Among the twelve intensive courses of penance, the twelfth one is called 'one day long penance', which can be compared with the super-intensive penance mentioned here.
See the following table.

Lord Mahāvīra, in the three days' fasting adopted a night-long intensive course of penance. Monk Gajasukumāra, on the first day of ordination, adopted a nightlong intensive course of penance in the Mahākāla crematory. In the Dasão, there is no mention of the term 'super-intensive course of penance'. There only the 'oneday intensive course of penance practised by a monk is mentioned. Such penance is adopted during a three-day fast. From the above three lists, it is clearly known that there is only difference of nomenclature between the night-long intensive course of monks and the night-long super-intensive course of penance, there being no substantial difference between them.
2. Fixing the eyes unblinkingly on a single material particle
In the Jain system of meditation, the fixing of gaze steadily on a particular material particle is designated as 'unblinking perception'. Lord Mahāvīra practised such concentration quite frequently. In the Tantra-śāstra and Hathayoga such practice is called Trātak. Here 'the material particle' may stand for either a part of body' or an external object'. It is an important aspect of the practice of meditation to fix unblinkingly the gaze on the tip of the nose or in the middle of both the eyebrows. Acārya Hemachandra has characterized the unblinking gaze on the tip of the nose as a form of Jinendra-mudrā (a posture of the Jina). The fixing of the unblinking gaze in the middle of both the eyebrows has been called 'Sāmbhavi mudrā' in the Gheranda Samhitā.

Then, Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras, being possessed of the five maturations, by his natural' power of clairvoyance, fixed his attention upward on the Sudharmā heaven, looked at Sakra, the chief of gods, the king of gods, Magavā, Pākasasana, Satakratu, Sahasrākşa, Vajrapāņi, Purandara:- the lord of southern half of the heaven, the lord of thrity-two hundred thousand vimānas and the rider of the Erāvana elephant, the lord of gods, wearing garment as pure as sky, wearing garland ...... up to the crown with his cheeks adorned with moving earring with beautiful golden painting, with shining body, wearing long garlands brightening, illuminating the ten directions by his celestial complexion. He saw him in that Sudharmā heaven in the space-abode, in the Sudharmā Assembly seated on the throne called Sakra ...... up to enjoining celestial pleasures. On seeing that, there arose an internal, thoughtful, desirable, mental resolve in him—"who is the fellow hankering after the undesirable, possessed of miserable end and disagreeable character, devoid of shame and grace, born on ominous fourteenth day of dark fortnight? Even though he has acquired, obtained and attained such special celestial fortune, celestial splendour and celestial divine power, is seated, above my head, enjoying celestial pleasures with immense patience. He thought thus, and having thought thus, he called the gods born in the assembly of co-chiefs, having called them, he spoke to them thus—"O beloved of gods, who is that fellow hankering after the undesirable ...... up to enjoying the celestial pleasures with immense patience?''5

It may also stand for the fifth course of intensive penance of the lay devotees, with reference to the life of Kartikaśresthi. Sahasrākṣamthe possessor of thousand eyes. Indra has five hundred ministers; the eyes of those ministers are engaged in the affairs of Indra, and as such, Indra has thousand eyes. Purandara-Indra is so called because he demolishes the cities of the Asuras and the like.
The Vrtti depends on the Daśāśrutaskandha Cūrni for explaning these words. See the Nirukta Kośa on those words,

3. Wearing garments as pure as sky (arayambaravatthadhara)-araya means 'pure'; here ambara means 'sky'. The two words qualify the garment' implying that he wears garments as pure and clean as the sky. This is the explanation offered by the Vrtti. The first adjective is arajas,

and so what is the point in saying that the garment is as clean as the sky? So it would be more appropriate to explain that the garment is of blue hue or fine like the sky, being invisible. 4. Born on ominous fourteenth day of dark fortnight hinapunnacauddasa—it is a vituperative phrase. According to the Vrtti, the fourteenth day is regarded as auspicious for birth; the vituperative phrase is 'you are not born on the fourteenth day'. Srimajjayācārya has explained it as 'born on the fourteenth day of the dark fornight. One meaning of the word cäturdaśa is rāksasa (demon). 5. With immense patience (alpotsuka)
The Vrtti has explained it as alpautsukyu. Autsukya means 'quickly' or 'in haste'. The person who is not 'in haste' or 'overeager' can be called anutsuka. Semantics apatthiyapatthae-hankering after the undesirable. Srimajjayācārya has explained it as 'one who is desirous of death. duramtapamtalakkhane--possessed of miserable end and disagreeable character. Here panta is a desī word, which means 'disagreeable' or 'undesirable'.

Then, being thus addressed by Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras, the co-chief gods born in the assembly had their minds full of glue and gladness, were happy, pleased, with minds full of delight, and deeply satisfied. Their heart was puffed up with glee. Rotating their folded hands, displaying ten nails, before their forehead greeted the chief of the Asuras with chorus of victory. Greeting him thus, with victory, they addressed him thus: 'O beloved of gods! he is Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, .... up to enjoying celestial pleasures'.

Hearing and listening thus from those co-chief gods born in the assembly of the sāmānika, Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras was surcharged with emotion, and became angry, enraged and ferocious, quashing teeth with anger. He then addressed those co-chief gods thus: 'O beloved of gods, the Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, is alien from me, my antagonist; the Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras is other than him, his antogonist.

The Topic of Insulting Sakra by Camara after seeking Support of the
Lord
Then, Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras, applied his power of clairvoyance. Doing so, he looks at me (Lord Mahāvīra). On seeing me, there arose in his mind the internal, recollective, wishful and mental resolve: At this moment, the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra is seated on a stone slab under an

excellent Asoka tree in the Asoka garden at the city of Sumsumārapura in the continent of Bhārata, in the Island of Jambū, with the resolve of a three day fast, undertaking a nightlong great intensive course of penance. It will be better for me to denigrate Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, seeking the support of the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra. Thinking thus, he ponders; having pondered, he got up from the bed, put on the celestial robe. Putting on the celestial robe, he reaches the Sudharmā hall and the place of the arsenal named Coppāla. Reaching there, he lifts up the club-gem' (a weapon) in his hand. Lifting up the club-gem, not depending on anybody else, alone he passes through the middle of the capital of Camaracañcā, infuriated with extreme anger. Having done so, he arrived at the Utpāta (takeoff) mountain called Tigimcchikūta.? Then he exercises his protean power. Exercising his protean power, ...... up to he creates the para-protean body. Having done so, he proceeded, in speed that was high, quick, hasty, terrible, accelerating, topmost like that of lion's rapid, swift and celestial, in horizontal direction through innumerable Islands and oceans and consecutively reached the Island of Jambūdvīpa, the continent of Bhārata, the city of Sumsumärapura, the Aśoka garden, the excellent Asoka tree, the stone slab and the spot in my vicinity. Having reached there, he circumambulated me, keeping me to the right, thrice. Having done so, he offered homage and obeisance to me. Having offered homage and obeisance to me, he addressed me thus: O Lord, with your support, I wish to denigrate Sakra, the chief and the king of gods. Having said so, he reached the north-eastern corner. Having reached there, he created the protean body. Having done so, he created the second paraprotean body that was most terrible, of terrible shape, dreadful, of dreadful shape, terrific (bhāsura), fearful, deep, terror-producing, as dark as the midnight of the fifteenth night of dark fortnight and a heap of black beans, of the height of one hundred thousand yojanas. Having done so, he threw his arms upward, jumped, roared, neighed like horse, gargled like elephant, rattled like chariot, patted on the earth with feet, slapped on the earth with feet, roared like the lion, patting sometimes forward, sometimes backward, cuts the tripadī" (like a wrestler playing a trick), raises up the left arm, distorts his face by bending it by the nails of the forefinger and the thumb of the right arm and murmurs loudly. Then, he flew alone, without any other support, upward in the sky in this terrible posture with the club-gem. It appeared as if he was agitating the underworld, shaking the earth, contracting the horizontal region, exploding the sky, sometimes roaring, sometimes sparkling like lightening, sometimes raining, sometimes raising the dust and sometimes creating dense darkness, and repeatedly frightening the forest gods, dividing the luminous gods in two parts, dispersing the sentinel gods, brandishing the club-gem in the sky and rebuking. Thus, he reached the Sudharmā Hall, the saudharmāvatamsaka space-abode, passing through innumerable Islands and oceans in the horizontal region with speed

-:81:that was best, quick, hasty, terrible, accelerating, topmost, like that of lion's, rapid and celestial. There, he placed one leg on the padmavaravedikā and another on the Sudharma Hall and shouted aloud, striking on the indrakīla (the banner of Indra) thrice with the club-gem. Striking thus, he exclaimed—where is that Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, where, are the eighty-four thousand co-chief gods, where are those thirty-three minister gods, where are those four custodians, where are those eight chief queens with retinue, where are those three assemblies, where are those seven armies, where are those seven army-chiefs, where are those three lac thirty-six thousand sentinel gods, where are those millions of celestial damsels? I shall beat them all, twist them, torture them, let the celestial damsels who were not under my control, come under my control now'. Thus he hurls harsh abuses that were unseemly, indecorous, unsavory, inauspicious, unpleasant and disagreeable.
Bhāsya 1. Parigharatna (club-gem)
In Apte's The Practical Sanskrit-English Dictionary, Parigha is translated as 'an iron club in general'. It is a kind of weapon. For club, we have gadā, mudgara, danda or läthi in English-Hindi Dictionary. 2. Tigimcchikūta, Utpātparvat
These have been described in Bhagavatī, 2.118. In the Thānam, there is mention of many Utpat mountains of Camara and others.' 3. Uttarvaikriyarūpa (para-protean body)
When the Empyrean and other gods come to the human world, they create bodies appropriate to the human world. The gods have two types of bodies: bodies appropriate to their life form, and para-protean bodies created provisionally. The neck-dwelling gods and the gods of the victory heavens do not create para-protean bodies, and so they have only bodies that are appropriate to their life-form. Other gods have both types of bodies. The bodies of gods and infernals, that are appropriate to their life-forms are called proto-protean. Their newly created bodies are postprotean as compared with the proto-protean. Abhayadevasūri has explained the post-protean (para-protean body) as the body created subsequently. Mostly gods do not travel to other places in their original body (which is appropriate to their lifeform).
They create their para-protean body in their own abode before travelling to other places." 4. Bhayāņiya (fearful)
It is the Prakrit form of Bhayānita. The Vrtti gives two Sanskrit forms of this

5. He pats on the earth by his feet
Here 'daddaraga' is a desi word which means shaking, striking, beating." 6. Uccholei, Paccholei
Both these words are desi verbal forms. The Vṛtti has explained it as patting forward and backward. In the Rayapaseniya, the readings are ucchalemti and pacchalemti, which mean 'jump up on feet' lingually.' These readings appear to be lingually appropriate. There has been change of vowel in the present reading, 'ccha' changed into 'ccho".
7. Cuts the tripadī
The Vrtti says that just as the wrestler cuts the tripadi, that is, undertakes three-step gait in the wrestling ground, similarly Camara cuts the tripadi. From the exposition of the Vṛtti, the meaning of tripadi-cchede appears to be a trick of a wrestler. In the wrestling a piece of cloth is tied to the shoulder of the opposite wrestler. The tearing of that piece of cloth or taking it off is called tripadi-ccheda. According to Paiyasaddamahaṇṇava, the meaning of tripadi is given as 'taking three steps on the ground'.

Thus saying, just seated on the throne, Sakra siezed the Vajra (i.e. the weapon of Indra) by his hand; it was burning, exploding, hissing, constantly emitting thousands of flames, radiating thousands of blazes, scattering red-hot charcoals, distorting the sight and obstructing the vision by thousands of sparks and blazes, shining with glow brighter than fire, moving with tremendous speed, red like full blown kimsuka blossoms, fearful and deadly. Śakra lifted it and hurled it towards Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras, in order to kill him.

Bhagavai 3:2:114-115

Bhāsya 1. He becomes engrossed ..... while thinking
The Vrtti explains jhiyāi as thinking and pihāi as 'hankering', there being two objects of such hankering: hankering for the weapon like a Vajra, or hankering after returning to his own abode happily. An alternate meaning of pihāi namely 'to close the eyes' has been recorded in the Vrtti. These two verbal expressions disclose the mental anxiety of Camara.' The word jhiyāi can also be explained in the sense 'to see'. The preposition 'ni' plus root Vidhyai' means to see: 'nidhyānamavalokanam'.? Camaras looks at the vajra and closes his eyes, he closes his eyes and opens his eyes again and again. Semantics taheva—in the moments of thinking.3 maudavidave--crest of the crown. sālambahathābharane-Camara was running in headlong posture, so his armlets hang downward. kakkhāgaya-seyam piva--the bodies of gods are protean and so they do not sweat.

Bhagavai 3:2:115-116 The Topic of seizing the Vajra by Sakra
There arose in Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, the following resolve that was internal, recollective, wishful and mental: 'Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras is not the master. Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras, is not enough capable. The chief and the king of Asuras has no jurisdiction that he, depending on himself can fly upward to the Sudharmā heaven. He can not reach upward to the Sudharmā heaven without the support of the jina, the jina-caitya or an ascetic who has sanctified himself by meditation. Therefore, it is a matter of great discomfort for me that I have shown great disrespect to the great Lord Jina and ascetic'. Thinking thus, he applied his power of clairvoyance and finds me out by means of his clairvoyance. Having found, me out he exclaims, 'Oh! Oh! I am undone myself, I am ruined'. Saying thus, he followed the track of the Vajra in high ...... up to celestial speed and passing through innumerable continents and oceans in the horizontal region, reached the Asoka tree in my vicinity. Reaching there, he caught hold of the Vajra which was only four fingers away from me, shaking my hair tips by the gush of air from his fist, seizing the Vajra. 3.116 tae nam se sakke devimde devarāyā vajjam padisāharittă mamam tikkhutto

circumambulated me, he offered me homage and obeisance. Having offered homage and obeisance, he addressed me thus: 'O Lord, Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras, depending on your support had grossly denigrated me. Then, infuriated, I hurled my Vajra to kill Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras. At that time there arose the idea in me that was internal, thoughtful, desirable and mental: Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras, is not master, enough capable, and has no jurisdiction that depending on himself can fly upward to Sudharmā heaven. He can not reach upward to the Sudharma heaven without the support of the jina, the jina-shrine or an ascetic who has sanctified himself by meditation. Therefore, it was a matter of great discomfort for me that I should grossly denigrate the great Lord Jina and ascetic. Having thought thus, I applied my power of clairvoyance. By clairvoyance I found out thyself. Finding thus, I thought Oh! Oh! I am undone myself. Thinking thus, I reached near thy vicinity in high...... up to celestial speed and caught hold of the vajra that was four fingers away from thyself. I have come down here, travelled here, reached here, to catch hold of the vajra, and staying here today in thy vicinity. I therefore beg pardon of you, O beloved of gods! please excuse me. O beloved of gods! thou art competent enough to forgive me. O beloved of gods! I pledge solemnly not to repeat such act at anytime in the future'. Having said so, he offered homage and obeisance. Having offered homage and obeisance, he departed to the north-eastern direction. There, he digs the earth three times by his left feet. Having done so, he addressed the chief and the king of Asuras thus: 'O Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras, you are now freed by the power of the Ascetic Lord Mahävira. You have now no fear from me'. Having said so, he departed to the direction from which he had come.

O Lord! in what sense has it been said that the god, possessed of great fortune ...... up to great power, is capable of running after and catching the material body that he had ejected earlier? Gautama, a material body, when ejected, travels fast at the beginning and afterwards travels slow. But the god, possessed of great fortune ...... up to great power, travels fast and swift all along, beginning to end. It is in this

O Lord!' if the god, possessed of great fortune ...... up to great power, is capable of running and catching the material body ejected earlier by him, then why Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, could not catch by his own hands Camara, the chief and the king of Asuras? Gautama, the act of motion of the Asurakumāra gods in the lower region (downward) is fast and swift, but in the upper region (upward) it is slow and sluggish. The act of motion of the Empyrean gods in the upper region (upward) is fast and swift, but in the lower region (downward) it is slow and sluggish. The distance travelled by Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, in one samaya in the upper region, is travelled by the Vajra in two samayas. The distance travelled by the Vajra in two samayas is travelled by Camara in three samayas. The samaya of the upward flight of Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, is the least, while that of his downward flight is numerable times more.

Bhagavai 3:2:119-126
-:91:
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 119-126
There are three kinds of motion: upward, downward and horizontal. The motion of Sakra is not uniform in all these three directions; in some it is quick, in others it is slow. Similarly, the speed of the Vajra and Camara is also not uniform. There are nine possible combinations concerned with the three directions, namely, upward, downward and horizontal, and the three moving bodies namely Sakra, Camara, and Vajra. The speed of Sakra in one samaya in the lower direction is the least; in the horizontal direction, it is numerable parts more; and in the upper direction, it is numerable parts more than the latter. The speed of Camara in one samaya in the upward direction is the least; in the horizontal direction, it is numerable times and in the lower direction, it is numberable times the latter. The speed of the Vajra in one time-unit in the downward direction is the least; in the horizontal direction, it is somewhat more, and in the upper direction, it is somewhat more than the latter.
Calculated in the yojanas, the speeds of Sakra, Camara and the Vajra are as follows:
Sakra travels, in one samaya, two yojanas in upward direction, one and a half yojanas in the horizontal direction and one yojana in downward direction. Camara travels, in one time-unit 24/3 gavyūties in upward direction, 53 gavyūties in horizontal direction and two yojanas in downward direction (1 yojana = 4 gavyūties).
The Vajra travels, in one samaya, one yojana in upward direction, 34/3 gavyūties in horizontal direction, and 24, gavyūties in downward direction. The following table will make the calculation easily understandable --
Sakra Vajra
Camara Upward 2 yojanas 1 yojana
2/3 gavyūties Horizontal 1/2 yojanas 3/3 gavyūties 5/3 gavyūties Downward 1 yojana 2/3 gavyūties 2 yojanas
The following is the outcome of the comparative study of the subject of speed.
The upward speed of Sakra and the downward speed of Camara are identical, each being two yojanas.
The upward speed of the Vajra and the downward speed of Sakra are identical, each being one yojana.
The upward speed of Camara and the downward speed of the Vajra are identical, each being 2/3 gavyūties.
The horizontal speed of Camara is greater than that of the Vajra. The horizontal speed of Sakra is greater than that of Camara.
The maximum speed in one samaya is two yojanas. One yojana = 4 gavyūties. So two yojanas are equal to eight gavyūties. Although, according to a belief,
Page #116

Bhagavai 3:2:119-128
1 yojana=2 gavyutas or gavyuties. But, here we calculate according to the former belief.
In order to transform the above figure into integral number, we should multiply the yojanas by twelve and gavyūta by three. The result will then be as follows

I have acquired, obtained and attained such divine celestial fortune, etc. Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, has also acquired, obtained and attained similar to that of mine divine celestial fortune etc. I have also acquired, obtained and attained divine celestial fortune etc.. That is similar to those of Sakra, the chief and the king of gods. Therefore I should go to Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, appear there and witness the celestial divine fortune etc., acquired, obtained and attained by Sakra, the chief and the king of gods. Let Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, perceive the divine celestial fortune etc., that I have acquired, obtained and attained. I should acquaint myself with the divine celestial fortune, acquired, obtained and attained by Sakra, the chief and the king of gods. Let Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, also know the divine celestial fortune etc., acquired, obtained and attained by me. It is for this reason that, O Gautama! the Asurakumāra gods travel ..... up to the Sudharmā heaven in the upper region.
Bhāșya 1. Sutra 131
In this very Sataka, in Sūtra 90, a reason for the Asurakunāra gods travelling up to the Saudharma heaven has been mentioned-an inimical attitude inherited at birth. In the present Sūtra, another reason has been indicated, which is a sort of curiosity or query or the inclination to a comparative knowledge concerning their fortune, the purpose being to inspect the fortune of Sakra and show him his own fortune. Even gods are not free from curiosity and display of their own powers, which follow from the descriptions in this context.
In the present Sūtra, two features of the curiosity to inspect and display fortune are mentioned. The first feature of curiosity is 'recent birth' and the second is 'last birth'. The recently born god' comes to such state of existence, so there is the curiosity in him to inspect the fortune of the Sakra or to display his own fortune to the Sakra. Similarly, there is such curiosity at the last birth of one's life. He thinks that before passing to the next birth, he should inspect the fortune of Sakra or display his own to the Sakra.

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 134-139
The Jain religion is not a non-activist one; in fact, there is a balance or harmony of both activism and non-activism in it. Thus, it is neither only activist, nor only non-activist. Aśrava (the cause of influx of karma) and samvara (inhibition of the influx of karma) represent activism and non-activism respectively. The former is the cause of bondage, the latter is the cause of liberation. In the beginning of one's spiritualistic sādhanā, both activity and abstinence from activity are there. On reaching the culmination of sādhanā, the sequence of the former ceases; only the latter, i.e., abstinence from activity persists.
There are two forms of activity-auspicious and inauspicious. According to the Prajñāpanā Vrtti, the pentad of kriyā, under discussion, is related with the special activity having the capacity to bring about the killing of living being. The present classification of urges is related with inauspicious activity.
Urge (kriyā) is an effort that leads to karmic bondage. It has been classified in many ways."
The citta (psyche) is the motivating cause of urge, which activates both mind and/or body. The immediate cause of urge is the activation of the body, because in absence of mind at lower levels, body becomes the immediate cause of urge. This is why the physical urge has been assigned the first place in the enumeration of urges. Ultimately, the interest or the desire or motivation is the cause of urge which is not mere gross activity. From this point of view, the physical urge has been divided into two types:
Page #123
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 3:3:134-139
-:99:[1] Physical urge of a non-abstinent.
[2] Physical urge of a person indulging in misconduct.
The former is subtle and subliminal, while the latter is gross; the former is persistent, while the latter is non-persistent. The agent of the former is the nonabstinent person, while that of the latter may also be non-abstinent or the abstinent (when he is remiss, i.e., in the sixth stage of spiritual development).* Man is always active with relation to inauspicious activity. Non-abstinence, being a very subtle urge, is only an activity taking place at unconscious level, whereas the inauspicious activity is gross one, taking place at conscious level.
The next cause of urge is external instruments, viz., the machines or weapons of destruction. The body of a non-abstinent person is a sort of instrument of destruction. The instruments of destruction of fall into two categories: (i) assembled weapons and (ii) newly manufactured weapons.
Both non-abstinence and indulging in misconduct are the cause of manufacture of weapons. The physical urge is the pre-condition of the urge of involving instruments. The background of the manufacture of weapons is non-abstinence; while the process of manufacture is indulgence in misconduct.
The third variety of urge is malice or the urge of anger. Man directs his urge sometimes on himself, sometimes on others and sometimes jointly on both. This is malice towards living beings. The author of Vrtti has considered only the pure urge of anger as malica towards living beings. Sometimes he would direct his urge of anger on inanimate objects. This is malice towards inanimate objects. The author of Vrtti has also considered the pure urge of anger as malice towards inanimates objects.
Torture and killing are the next two stages of malice. Non-abstinence is the fundamental basis of violence. The weapon is the external cause of violence, while malice is the internal one. Torture and killing are two varieties of violence. To inflict pain is torture and to deprive one of life is killing. Man tortures himself by his own hands and also tortures others and sometimes both himself and others. This is called svahastaparitāpaniki kriyā.
Some people have the view that the Jains ill-treat their own body and consider such treatment as a sort of spiritual discipline. But such view is not proper. To torture one's own body out of passionate emotion is as unreligious as torturing the body of others. The latter leads to binding of inauspicious karma. The practice of austerity according to one's own capacity is not a case of torture of the body. As soon as the spiritual austerity starts appearing as a physical torture, it loses its character of a spiritual practice.
The urge to kill one ownself or others or both through one's own hand is called svahastaparitāpaniki kriyā. The urge to kill one own self or others or both through the agency of others is called parahastaprānātipatiki kriyā. In the background of urge of killing, there is the urge of malice of anger.
Some people consider the practice of fasting for the purpose of 'Samādhimarana' (dying in a state of self-absorption through meditation) as a sort of suicide, but this is their misunderstanding. Fasting unto death is not killing one's self by

Bhagavai 3:3:140-144
-: 101:the cause of the latter. The Vrtti gives two meanings of urge: the karmic bondage due to urge or the urge itself as the karmic bondage. Experience is the feeling of the result and karma. If there is no karma, what is the object of experience?!
The reason behind the query of Manditaputra is that the urge is the seed and experience is the sprout. There cannot be sprout without seed. This truth is too plain to be subjected to a query.
Experience may be both pleasurable and painful. There were philosophers who regarded the experience of pleasure and pain as not due to pre-determined cause. They were upholders of doctrine of determinism, which considered every event as pre-fixed, there being no intelligent agent behind them. Such doctrine is refuted here by postulating a definite causal chain leading to every event.
In other words, the Sūtra under discussion establishes the mechanistic view of causation against the teleological doctrine. The doctrine of karma upholds the mechanistic view that implies the freedom of the individual to create his own future by means of his own karma independently of the influence of the external agencies. We find the essential elements of the Jain doctrine of karma clearly defined in this very brief Sūtra. In Dhavalā, the etymological explanation of vedanā is related with both time-divisions, viz., present as well as future-experience is that which is being experienced or that which is to be experienced'?

For instance, when some person throws a bundle of dry straw in fire, O Manditaputra! does not that bundle of dry straw thrown into fire immediately burn not? Yes, it does burn out. For instance! when some person throws drops of water on a hot iron plate, O Manditaputra, do not those drops of water immediately dry up? Yes, they do so--they dry up. For instance, there is a lake that is full, full to the brim, overflowing, over swelling and evenly full of water like a pitcher. Now some person floats a giant boat with hundred inlets and hundred pores, O Manditaputra, does the boat, with water constantly flowing in through the inlets and the pores, get full, full to the brim, overflowing, overswelling and evenly full of water like a pitcher? "Yes, it does so.” Now, if some person stops the inlets of the boat, completely from all sides, and having stopped so, empties the boat by means of emptying-vessel, O Manditaputra! does not the boat, on the water being drained out, immediately rise up to the surface? “Yes, it does rise up." Similarly, O Manditaputra! the ascetic of the following description subjects himself to bondage of subtle instantaneous action of different measures pertaining to pure movement free from passions: such ascetic is self-inhibited, self-composed in respect of movement, speech, begging alms, picking up placing robes, pots, etc., depositing excreta, urine, phlegm, mucus of the nose and dense dirt of the body; self-composed in mind, speech and body; self-guarded in respect of mind, speech and body; self-guarded in all respect; self-guarded in respect of sensuality and celibacy; self-aware while walking, standing, sitting and changing sides (while sleeping); self-aware while picking up and placing clothes, pot, blanket and duster up to even while blinking of eyes, such action results in bondage and assimilation of karma at the first time-unit, experiencing the karma at the second time-unit and wearing-off the karma in the third time-unit. Such action (resulting in bondage and assimilation) is bound, assimilated, aroused, experienced, worn-off and turned into non-karma in the next time-unit. From this standpoint, O Manditaputra! it has been said that when the soul, always and constantly, does not undergo simple vibrations, complex vibrations, motion, oscillation, collision, penetration and motivation, that is does not undergo varied transformation, it attains liberation at the end.

Page #130

-:106:
Bhagaval 3:3:143-148 sense of attainment of the liberation. The Vṛtti explains it as the state of elimination of all karmas."
In the topic under consideration, the nature of 'anta-kriya' has been fully explained. There arises a general question: 'Every action is the cause of bondage; so long as the bondage continues, liberation cannot be attained; then how the liberation would take place?" We find answer to this question in the present Sutras. There is a state of cessation of action between activity and attainment of liberation. This cessation of action is essential condition for the attainment of liberation.
Simple vibrations, motivation etc., are different stages of an action, which transform the soul in it various states. So long as this cycle of action keeps running. death is not followed by liberation. The reason is that the soul continues to intent, prepare and commit violence in the presence of such action.
The stoppage of simple vibrations etc., is followed by elimination of karma, which has been illustrated by three examples of a bundle of dry straw, consumed by fire, drops of water, fallen on hot iron-plate and the boat, devoid of any inlet.
The first step to the attainment of liberation is freedom from passions, which is termination of passionate action; in other words, there continues only dispassioned action, which leads to the bondage of blissful karma. The blissful karmic bondage is of short duration, lasting for two time-units only. Here, the bondage occurs at the first time-unit. There is experience in the second, and wearing-off in the third. This process continues till the end of the life-span, when there takes place the absolute stoppage of all activities, resulting in the state of complete non-action that inhibits all types of karmic bondage. This is the second step to the attainment of liberation. In the third step, there is the final stage of freedom from all karmic association, which tantamounts to elimination of all karmas.
Semantics
saya samitam (always and every moment).
In the Bhāṣya on Bha. 1.314-316, we have already discussed at length about this phrase. "Samitam' has four connotations
1. samita- in definite measures (sapramäṇa)
2. samita-sightly occupied in activity
3. samita-properly organised'
4. samita- every moment."
In the present context, even though the Vṛttikāra has explained 'samitam' as 'sapramāṇam' i.e., 'in definite measures,' yet 'every moment' seems to be more relevent. In the Vrtti of the sixth sataka, the Vrttikära explains-"sada means sarvadā (i.c., always), but the use of sada is in vogue in the sense of "discontinuously"; hence, to connote 'continuity', the word samita (i.e., every moment) is added to sadā."
ejana simple vibration.
vyejana-complex or varied vibration.
calana-motion from one place to another one.

Bhagavai 3:3:143-148
-: 107 :spandana-slight motion; according to some ācāryas, it connotes oscillation (i.e., after a slight motion to another space-point, it moves back to its original place)." ghattana—to move in all directions or to touch (or collide with other object. kşobha-penetration. udīraņā—motivation.
After the cluster of these seven words, the Sūtra refers to 'transformation in various forms'. tam tam bhāvam pariņamai (Transformation)-motivation is followed by various transformation which imply that simple vibrations, complex vibrations, motion, oscillation, collision, penetration and motivation are the states prior to transformation. Transformation begins with simple vibration and continues up to the seventh state called motivation. A novel transformation takes place after every movement, replacing previous state of transformation. Such transformation is technically called explicit mode (vyañjana paryāya) which is activation of the soul accompanied with interaction with matter. Attainment of liberation is not possible in such circumstance. ārambha-killing or initiation of any activity. samrambha-intention to kill. samārambha—torture.?
Soul (or living being) which indulges in ārambha, samrambha, and samārambha inflicts various forms of troubles to other living beings. dukkhāpana-inflicting sorrow by killing or by depriving someone of his desirables. sokāpana-inflicting grief or privation on someone. jūrāvaņa-inflicting distress or decaying life or aging life.$
Ācārya Hemachandra has substituted Vjura for Vkhid,' and so Vjura may mean inflict distress. tippāvana--to cause to weep. pittāvaņa—to beat. paritāvana—to torture. tanahattha—a bundle of straw. Here hattha means a "bundle'. masamasāvijjaim to burn rapidly. It is a desī word. ayakavalla—an iron-plate or an iron frying pan. volattamāņe, vosattamāņe, etc.—see Bhāsya on Bha. 1.313. 2. Airyapathikī Kriyā (Dispassioned action)
In Pālī, īryāpatha stands for 'way of deportment, mode of movement, good behaviour'; there are four īryāpathas viz., walking, standing, sitting, lie down.
In the present cannon (Bhagavati) the expression iryāvahi kiriyā is used at fifteen places and iryāpatha-bandha at four places. The Vrtti gives 'path for walking' as the etymological meaning of iryāpatha. But its practical usage is in the sense of action due to pure (dispassioned) yogā'' Bondage on account of such action occurs at the 11th, 12th and 13th stages of spiritual development. This is attested by the following text of the scripture-jassa nam kohamānamāyālobhā vocchinnā bhavamti, tassa nam itiyāvahiyā kiriyā kajjai, jassa nam kohu
Page #132

________________
-: 108:
Bhagavai 3:3:143-148 mānamāyālobhā avocchinnā bhavamti, tassa nam samparäiyā kiriyā kajjai'.13
In the above passage 'vocchinnā 'means 'eliminated'; Jayācārya has given its meaning also as 'suppressed'.!"
As in the eleventh gunasthāna, the moha is only suppressed (and not eliminated), vocchinna cannot be interpreted as only 'eliminated'.
The dispassioned action does not mean only the action related with walking path (iryāpatha). On the contrary, the dispassioned action comprises all kinds of postures and movements of body, speech and mind including the subtle movement of blinking, winking etc., all sorts of voluntary and involuntary actions — movement necessary for sustenance of life. The resultant karmic bondage is dispassioned binding. Dispassion action is of different measures or of 'meagre measure' as explained in earlier commentary.
At the first time-unit, there is binding (baddha) which means the transformation of appropriate material particles into karmic particles, and also their assimilation (puttha) with the soul. At the second time-unit, there is experience of the 'bound karma' and at the third time-unit there is wearing-off of the karma. In the sūtra, the state in the second time-unit is indicated by udīriyā veiyā, implying that there are two states of karma in the second time-unit, viz., rising and experiencing. Bondage and rising cannot synchoronize and so, rising takes place in the second time-unit.16
In the time-unit that follows the third time-unit (i.e., in the fourth time-unit) (seyakāle), the karma is transformed into akarma. This is a relative statement. According to the Vrtti, the karma is transformed into akarma in the third time-unit, but the text itself identifies the past and the future time-units metaphorically and speaks of the state of akarma in the fourth time-unit."7
In the present scripture, there is a discussion of experience' and 'wearingoff' of karma. On being asked by Gautama whether experience and wearing-off of karma are identical, Lord Mahāvīra replied that they were not identical. Karmic experience is concerned with karma, while wearing-off relates to nokarma (quasikarma), i.e., karma which has lost its karmic aspect. After producing its experience, karma turns into nokarma, and there it wears-off. This is the opinion of transcendental standpoint. In the present context, however, the Sūtra has resorted to the empirical standpoint in identifying the fourth time-unit for karma turning into nokarma.
The dispassioned action is possible only for an ascetic who is self-inhibited, 19 inhibited,20 inhibited one in the path which is devoid of agitation'(avicīpatha),21 and who is self-cultivated.22 The description of all these expressions and adjectives are worthy of comparative investigations.
The duration of dispassioned action is two time-units.23 The Vrtti does not discuss the duration. Srimajjayācārya has mentioned duration of two time-units. 24 The TBh. has accepted duration as one time-unit only.25 According to the Vrtti of TBh., the time-unit in which the karma is being experienced is the time of duration.26

The minimum temporal dimension is one intra-hour and the maximum temporal dimension is a little (8.25 years) less than one purva-koți. With reference to many souls, it is entire time-dimension, which is without beginning and end.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 149-50
In the present dialogue, the temporal dimensions of the ascetic stationed in the sixth stage, i.e., self-restraint with remissness and the seventh stage, i.e., self-restraint without remissness have been considered. An eight years and three months old boy has been accepted as qualified for monkhood.' The maximum life-span of a human is one purva-koti. As such, the maximum temporal dimension of sāmāyikacāritra (preliminary initiation into monkhood) is = one purva-koți less 8.25 years, the minimum temporal dimension being one time-unit.
According to the Vrtti, this is possible only on the death immediately after one time-unit of adopting monkhood. This however is only a conditional description from the standpoint of treatises on the doctrine of karma. At the very beginning of his initiation, a monk attains self-restraint without remissness. Afterwards he attains the stage of self-restraint with remissness. The death may occur in the first timeunit immediately after entering into the stage of self-restraint with remissness from
Page #135

Bhagavai 3:3:149-150
-:111:
the stage of self-restraint without remissness. It is with reference to such circumstance that the minimum temporal dimension of self-restraint with remissness has been described as one time-unit.
The maximum time-dimension of pramatta samyata (self-restraint with remissness) may be counted in two ways:
[i] As the stages of self-restraint with remissness are interrupted by the stage of self-restraint without remissness, the maximum time-dimension of stages of selfrestraint with remissness is to be ascertained by actually counting those stages.
[ii] According to another opinion, the maximum time-dimension may be obtained by counting the period of uninterrupted stage of self-restraint with remissness.
According to the Vrtti, the minimum time-dimension of self-restraint without remissness is an intra-hour because the ascetic at this stage cannot die. According to the Cūrni, the stages higher than that of self-restraint with remissness of the ascetic are all of self-restraint without remissness, because there is no remissness. The ascetic ascending the ladder of suppression can meet death within one muhurtta, it is from this point of view that the minimum time-dimension of ascetic without remissness has been stated to be one anatarmuhürtta.?
According to Jayācārya's interpretation, here the apramatta (ascetic without remissness) must be the one ascending the ladder of suppression, and not other apramatta. The maximum dimension of self-restraint without remissness has been computed with reference to an ascetic who has attained omniscient (i.e., the 13th gunasthāna). A child of 8.25 years age may be an ordinary ascetic or even an omniscient one. It is from this standpoint that the temporal dimensions have been mentioned.

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 154-63
An important principle of spirituality and meditation is cultivation (bhāvanā). This means the determination to achieve something sublime', and then achieve that goal by constant practice. 'Imbuing', 'impressing' are synonymous with 'cultivation'. Transformation of personality starts with cultivation. Its starting point here is ‘simple vibration and the end result is 'undergoing varied transformation'.' The Vrtti explains ‘self-cultivation' (bhāvitātmā) as 'transformation of the self by means of self-restraint and austerity'. Self-cultivation results mostly in attainment of potentialities like clairvoyance, etc..? In Dhyānaśataka, four types of selfcultivation are mentioned, viz., cultivation with respect to knowledge, faith, conduct and detachment. In the Thānam, the self-cultivated soul (bhāvitātmā) has been characterised as possessor of supernormal powers'.
In the present scripture, we get a detailed description of supernormal powers of self-cultivated souls." In the Sūyagado, we find the expression the 'self-cultivated ascetic (bhāvitātmā anagāra) with respect to scriptural knowledge.' The expression 'self-cultivated soul' has been used in the present scripture for a vītarāga, i.e., soul absolutely detached.
The upshot of all these equations is that the expression ‘self-cultivated soul' was frequently used in the Agamika period. The usage of this expression is found in Mahābhārata and Yogavasistha' also.
The power of clairvoyance is manifold; this is indicated by means of four alternatives in the sūtra no. 154-156. The sūtras 157-163 indicate 45 alternatives in the following way: 01 | Root bulb

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 164-171
Gods and infernals have protean bodies by birth. Humans and animals, possessed of mind can acquire protean body by the virtue of their supernormal potentiality.' In the air-bodied beings which have undeveloped bio-potential, it is not possible, but as soon as they attain developed bio-potential, they achieve it.2 According to the Dhavalā, the fire-bodied beings with developed bio-potential also are possessed of the protean body, as distinguished from the Svetāmbara tradition.
The power of creating varied protean shapes in the air bodied beings is very much limited. The configuration of air-bodied being is that of a flag, which it can expand by its protean power. The air-bodied being traverses space by means of its own power, effort and impetus, without the assistance of any other external agency for its projection. The logic behind such motion of the protean body is that airbodied being is an animate object that does not need any external impetus for its zig-zag horizontal motion like that of a cow. Semantics yugya (jugga).-A kind of palanquin two cubits in length and breadth and provided with a square-shaped seat; such palanquin was used by the people of Golla country. In Lāța countryside, thilla is called yugya. It was carried by four persons.? gilli-A palanquin carried by a couple of persons or an ambāvādī-equipped saddle (howdah) on elephant. According to Silānkācārya, a bag-shaped spreadout cloth to carry a person within it is called gilli. thilli-A cart drawn by mule, prevalent in Läta country."" sivikā--A covered palanquin." syandamānikā-A palanquin of the length of a human being. This was used by distinguished people as a transport."
In Bha. Vr. almost these same meanings of the words from yugya up to syandamānikā are given. ucchritodaya-A high-flying (flag). (See figure 1] patat-udaya-A low-flying (flag).' [See figure 2] ekatahpatāka --A flag flying unilaterally. (See figure 3] dvidhāpatāka-A flag flying bilaterally. [See figure 4]
Śrimajjayācārya quotes an opinion explaining the expression as 'standing for two flags flying in the same direction',16

Here it has been queried about the creation of varied shapes or exercise of protean power by an air-bodied being and taking natural shapes by clouds. The reason is that the clouds are inanimate objects, and as such, devoid of the power, effort or impetus of creating shapes voluntarily, their transformation being mechanical. They traverse space by the impetus given by air or gods. In the Thānam, there is mention of motion of clouds as due to air or gods.? Semantics cakravāla--wheel.

Bhāṣya
1. Sutras 183-185
In the present dialogue, the doctrines of lesya (psychic colour) and re-birth have been propounded. The guiding principle of colouration is that the colouration that obtains at the last moment of life is inherited in the next birth. In other words, the soul is born in a form of life where that lesya is available. The Uttarajjhayaṇāņi describes this principle elaborately-the process of transformation of lefyd continues for antarmuhurtta. No soul is born with the leśya that obtains at the first or the last time-unit of the process of transformation. It is born with the colouration that obtains in between two antarmuhurtta periods, one of the previous birth and one of the next one.'
In the principle of inheriting colouration, three aspects of colouration are involved, viz., material lesyd, psychical lesya and the lesya available in the place of rebirth. The life-span of the next birth is bound in the present birth. At the time of death, the matter of that lefyd is appropriated which will be available to the soul at the place of re-birth. For instance, there is fiery colouration in the luminous god. The soul that has bound the life-span of a luminous god will appropriate the material of fiery colouration immediately before his death, and transform itself in

The clause “jallesāim davvāim pariyāittā' refers to the material of leśyā appropriated by the soul'. Material leśyā has three implications--
(1) The material clusters needed for the psychic colouration which starts on
the appropriation of the material clusters. (2) The colour of the body of the soul. (3) The aura or the nimbus.
The first aspect is relevant to the present dialogue, which implies that at the time immediately before death, there takes place the process of transformation of the material and psychical lesyä conforming to the next birth. The Vrtti also points to such interpretation.?

In the present dialogue, the external material clusters stands for what is appropriate for the protean body. The acts like jumping over the Vaibhāra Mountain is possible only by protean body.

Bhasya
1,2. Deceitful, Un-deceitful
The expression deceitful (māyā) has more than one meaning; one meaning of maya is crookedness, the third variety of passions. Among the three (psychical) thorns, the first is 'deceit. Another meaning of māyā is Sambari Vidya-sorcery. magic.' The person who knows maya is called māyākāra or mayī. The Vṛtti has explained may as 'a person possessed of passions' or 'a person possessed of remissness'. According to it, the person devoid of remissness cannot exercise protean power. This opinion of the Vṛtti is directly confirmed by the text, "no umāyi vikuvvat." This interpretation of the Vṛtti needs scrutiny. The amayi also exercises the protean power-potential. Now, if mayi is explained as 'remiss' and amāyī as 'non-remiss', how could the latter exercise the protean power; because absence of remissness confers on him a higher status that prevents him from such detrimental act. The whole dialogue given in sutras 3.231-239 (supra) describes creation of protean body by the amayi. Here, the meaning of mayr as 'remiss' or 'possessed of passions' is obviously irrelevant.
In the present dialogue, mayr plausibly stands for one who practises incantation and auspicious rite, inspired by the cultivation of sorcery or occult power. In support of this guess of ours, there are sutras 3.219-220 (supra), according to which, the mayi ascetic is born in the heaven of 'attendant gods" and the amāyī ascetics is

In the Uttarādhyayana, it is explicitly mentioned that one who practises incantation and auspicious rite, etc. cultivates the sorcery or occult power. Here the meaning of exercising protean power is 'formation of protean body by the power of occult science, incantation, etc..' The Vrtti mentions the variant reading, "māyī abhijumjai" in Bhagavai 3/218. It has identified abhiyoga' with

For what reason, O Lord! is it said that it is the deceitful (one instigated by deceit) that exercises his protean power, and not the un-deceitful. O Gautama! a deceitful ascetic intakes nourishing food and drink repeatedly and vomits and purges them. His bones and bone-marrows become stout (bulky), and flesh and blood become thin, and the gross food material that he intakes is transformed, for instance, into ears, eyes, nose, tongue and skin, bone, bone-marrows, hair, mustache, pore-hair, nail, semen and

blood. An un-deceitful ascetic intakes non-nourishing food and drink repeatedly and does not vomit or purge them. His bones and bone-marrows become weak (and thin), his flesh and blood become thick, and the gross food material that he intakes is transformed, for instance, into stool, urine, phlegm, snot, vomit, bile, pus and blood. For that reason, O Gautama! it has been said that the deceitful ascetic exercises protean power, the non-deceitful does not.
Bhāsya 1. Bone and bone-marrow becomes stout (bulky)
In the present dialogue, the process of exercising protean power has been shown. The bone and the bone-marrow are both important factors in protean action. The power of protean action is earned in them. The repeated intake of oily food and vomiting after the intake is the process of oiling the bone and bone-marrow. By this process both bone and bone-marrow becomes taught while flesh and blood became weak. The remaining food augment the power of the sense-organs.' 2. Gross food material ...... pus and blood
Incidentally, there is description of the un-nourishing food which is transformed into stool etc. in larger quantity. Here the nourishment of bone, bone-marrow and sense-organs does not take place in sufficient measure.2

The deceitful ascetic dies without confessing and retracing from his action; there is no observance of discipline leading to liberation in his case. The non-deceitful ascetic dies by confessing and retracing from his action; there is observance of discipline leading to liberation' in his case.
Bhāsya 1. There is observance of the discipline for liberation
The present Sūtra is prescribed for the ascetic who has became non-deceitful from his previous deceitful condition. The ascetic who practised the intake of reach food and also exercise of protean power in his state of being deceitful, now gives up

Bhāsya 1. Sword and shield ...... applying his occult powers
The Vrtti has explained 'asi-carmapātra' as 'shield and alternately, 'asi' as 'sword' and 'carmapătra' as 'shield' or 'scabbard'!
The Vrtti has explained 'hasta krtya' in three ways:
(1) To hold sword and shield in hand to serve the purpose of religious order, etc. (krtya).
(2) The person who has caught hold of by his hand, having acquired sword and shield.
(3) The person who has acquired the dexterity in use of sword and shield.? Of these, the last meaning is more appropriate and relevant.
The whole dialogue is concerned with krtya, meaning māyā (sorcery), indrajāla (magical tricks) or witchcraft.

1. Simple Posture (palhatthiyam)
In Hathayogapradipikā, paryastikā has been explained as-the posture formed by placing both the feet in between the thighs and knees and binding a triangular posture, a , and by sitting silently.' In Gherandasamhita also, we get the same definition.2 In Uttarajjhayaṇāṇi (footnote on 1.19), the second meaning of palhatthiyam is also given.

Paryankāsana & ardhaparyankāsana are identified respectively with lotus scat and half-lotus seat. Some Acāryas mention the posture of paryankāsana as identical with the posture of vajrasana.

________________
Bhagavai 3:5:207-209
-: 133 :According to Iyangar, the posture paryankāsana is slightly different from the posture of supta-vajrāsana. It is a posture, in which the top of the head touches the ground, the back is raised upward together with the neck and breast also raised; no part of the trunk touches the ground.?
Paryarka means a bed or a sofa. The shape of the supta-vajrāsana becomes like that of a bed. For this reason, the expression “duhao palyanka” may mean supta-vajräsana. The meaning of 'egao palyarka' is ardhavajrāsana--that is to sit by resting the lower part of a thigh on a foot; and to seat by folding the second foot and raising up the knee. For detailed information about paryankāsuna, see Bha. 2.62.

Bhāşya 1. External Material Clusters
In sūtra 3.194, we get the reading as bāhirae poggale. There, the Vrtti explains it as the protean material cluster.' In the present Sūtra the same is explained as the external material cluster appropriated by the power of the occult science. The reason is that in sūtra 3.194, the creation of forms by the protean power potential is mentioned, whereas in the present Sūtra the entering into other body is described.

1. By means of his occult power
The self-cultivated ascetic creates new forms by his protean power potential, and by means of his occult power, he enters, pervades and activates the body of others. The ābhiyogiki bhāvanā is concerned with occult science and incantation etc.. The Vrtti explains abhijumjittae as entering the bodies of horse etc. and pervade them and activate them by the power of occult sciences. In the Uttaradhyāyana, there is mention of ābhiyogikī bhāvanā which is concerned with incarnation subduing

Does a self-cultivated ascetic, O Lord! who is deceitful, is possessed of deluded view and has attained the energy power-potential, the protean powerpotential and the deluded clairvoyance power-potential, exercise his protean power of projection to create the city of Vārāņasī, the city of Rajagṛha and a big countryside in between the cities of Vārāņasī and Rajagṛha, and having done so, does he know and see the cities of Vārāņasī and Rājagṛha, and the big countryside situated in between them?

From what standpoint, O Lord! is it said that he does not know and see what is true, but he knows and sees what is not true? O Gautama! it occurs to him: 'this is the city of Vārāṇasī, this is the city of Rājagsha, this is a big countryside in between the cities of Vārāṇasī and Rājagsha. It is not my energy power-potential, protean power-potential and deluded clairvoyance power-potential. This is not indeed the supernormal power, effulgence, yaśa, strength, energy and manly valour, secured, obtained and attained (on account of the fruition) by me'. This is his perversity of perception. For this reason, O Gautama! has it been said that he does not know and see what is true, he knows and sees what is not true.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 222-230
In the present section, there are three dialogues, which give three illustrations of deluded view. The creation of corporeal bodies is done by the protean powerpotential. The energy power-potential is auxiliary condition, which is indispensable in all kinds of activities of soul. The Pannavanā mentions four causes of karmic bondage, viz., deceit, greed, anger and pride; activated by energy, they lead to karmic bondage.!
The deluded clairvoyance power-potential is not a causal factor in the protean power-potential. Here the former has been associated with the latter in order to explain the epistemological aspect of the situation. Here the energy power-potential and the protean power-potential are not the main subjects of discussion. The main subject is the 'perversion of faith'(i.e., deluded view), which is connected with the deluded clairvoyance. Clairvoyance is an extra-sensory perception which when influenced by the rise of view-deluding karma becomes vitiated and is called vibharga jñāna (i.e. deluded clairvoyance).
The Vrttiexplains perversity of view' as 'confusing the properties of two different objects', just like a direction-deluded person, mistaking the 'East' for the

ri
"West'.
Srimajjayācārya has considered the problem in detail and offered clarification. According to him, the perversity of perception, which is epistemological error, is not connected with each case of deluded clairvoyance. It is connected with the person possessed of deluded clairvoyance, who is like a confused person (directiondeluded person).
We can compare the expression unmattavat in Tattvārtha Sūtra 1.33 with the present topic. Thus, as an infatuated person cognises what is untrue (opposite of true) as true. For example, he regards a piece of stone as a piece of gold and vice versa. Similarly, a person afflicted with deluded view cognises the object contrarily.
Srimajjayācārya has clearly distinguished the deluded clairvoyance from perversity of view. His argument is: "In the Anuyogadāraim, the deluded clairvoyance has been shown to be due to the elimination-cum-suppression of the knowledgc-covering karma. It can not know the object erroneously. Therefore, what is perversity of view is due to the rise of view-deluding karma." His second argument is: The confused (direction-deluded) person knows the east as the west: this is a case of the rise and not the case of the elimination-cum-suppression of knowledge-covering karina. When the eye is diseased, it sees two moons. This perception of two moons is not due to the faculty of eye, but due to some disease in the eyes. The disease is due to the rise of body-making karma, but the ocular cognition is a case of the elimination-cum-suppression of knowledge-covering karma. Similarly, the deluded clairvoyance is a case of the eliminationg-cum-supperssion of knowledge-covering karma and the perversity of the perception is due to the rise of knowledge-covering karma. Therefore, these two are quite different from (sūtras 222-224) each other."
The subject matter of the first dialogue (sūtras 222-224) is the creation of the city of Vārānasīby the protean power, and knowledge and perception of the corporeal objects existing in the city of Rājgrha by means of deluded clairvoyance. Here the perversity of perception is there because the person thinks that he has created the city of Rājagrha by his protean power and that he is knowing and seeing the corporeal objects situated in Vārānasī.
In the second dialogue (sūtras 225-227), there is only the confusion between the creation of the city and the name of the city where the corporeal objects are known and seen.
In the third dialogue, the ascetic, by his protean power creates the city of Vārāṇasī, the city of Rājagrha, and the countryside in between the two cities. But he considers the cities created by himself as 'real objects'. He has not the knowledge that he himself has created them all by his own protean power.? Semantics anagāra-one who has renounced householder's life. bhāvitātmā-the person who has cultivated himself according to his view and faith. māyi-a person influenced by deceit.

O Gautama!' the great celestial abode, named Sandhyaprabha, of the great king Soma, the custodian of Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, is said to be situated at the place reached by traversing innumerable yojanas in the Saudharma Kalpa in the eastern region of that great celestial abode called Saudharmavatamsaka. Its diameter is 121⁄2 lakh yojanas and the circumference is a little more than thirty-nine lakh fifty-two thousand eight hundred and fourty-eight yojanas. Here the description of the Suryabha Vimāna ...... up to the description of ‘anointing ceremomy at the time of his coronation' is to be given, only the name Suryabha is to be replaced by the name Soma.

1. Sutra 259
The fifteen kinds of gods-amba etc. belong to the Asuranikaya (Mansion-dwelling gods). These gods are called Paramādhārmika (i.e., very impious gods). (Their work is to torture the infernal beings. Because of their wicked dispositions, they are called Paramādhārmika). The Vrtti explains their names with etymology: 1. Amba-he tosses the infernals aloft and drops them down.
2. Ambariṣa-he cuts the infernals by scissors into pieces and makes them fit for cooking in a pitcher (ambarisa). This is reason why these are called ambarisa. 3. Syama-he tortures the infernals. He has black (fyama) complexion, and hence
~: 157:~
so called.
4. Sabala-he plucks out the intestine, heart etc. of the infernals and is sabala (i.e., variegated) by complexion.
5. Raudra-he pierces the infernals with lance and spear. He is called rudra, because of his cruelty (raudratā).
6. Uparaudra-he tears the limbs and sublimbs of the infernals.
7. Kala-he cooks the infernals in earthenwares like pitchers. He is called kala because he is as dreadful as death.
8. Mahakala-they feed the infernals with bits of oily flesh. They are so called because they have a deep black complexion.
9. Dhanu-he tears the ear etc. by arrows of the shape of crescent moon darted from his bow.
10. Asipatra-by protean power, he aquires the shape of a leaf of the shape of a sword (asipatra).
11. Kumbha-he cooks the infernals in a pot (kumbha).
12. Baluka-he is so called because he cooks the infernals in sand-dust (väludhuli) of the shape of kadamba (Nauclea cadamba) flower.

13. Vetarani he creates the vaitarani river (Styx) full of flesh, blood etc.. 14. Kharasvara-he creates a salmali tree full of thorns which are hard like vajra
(a very hard substance like diamond) and puts the infernals on them and pull them while they loudly cry. Hence, he is called Kharasvara.
15. Mahaghosa-he is so called, because he binds the infernals in enclosures like animals, while making loud sounds.2

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 250-277
The dialogue (Sūtras 250-277) reveals an important aspect of the doctrine of gods. It throws new light on their relationship with our planet, earth. This topic is also discussed in the 14th Sataka of this scripture.' Jainism does not believe in creatorship of God or gods. In the present dialogue, divine creationship has not been accepted, but the gods as custodians are conversant with the natural phenomena like floods, draughts, hidden treasures, epidemics, natural disasters, uncertain climatic conditions, the sufferings of living beings, etc.. Potentially they are able to participate and cooperate in natural events as well as human affairs. This does not however amount to denial of the doctrine of individual responsibility of souls. In a limited sense, gods are however capable of affecting change in natural events in the physical world such as rains, storms, etc., and thus exercise the power of creation to that extent.

PREFACE
In the third sataka, there is a description of the Custodians of Sakra, the chief and the king of Saudharma Heaven. In the present (IV) Sataka, there is a short description of the Custodians of īsāna, the chief and king of īsāna Heaven (2nd heaven). Custodians are available only among the Mansion and Empyrean gods. They are absent among the Forest and the Luminous gods.' Like the Custodians of Sakra, those of īsāna have the relationship with the human world.
The present Sataka is very concise. It has ten sections which deal with their topics very briefly. The first eight sections are concerned with the Custodians, the remaining two refer to the Pannavaņā for description of colouration (lesyā).
The method of reference to other texts has raised some questions-Were the referred subjects originally a part of the Bhagavaī or Pannavaņā or of both? Had they been originally in the Bhagavai, they would not have been referred to as belonging to the Pannavanā, the conjecture that they belonged to the Pannavanā would be tenable. Had they been both (the Bhagavai and the Pannavanā), then what would be the logic of omitting the text in the Bhagavai (and referring to the Pannavanā for it)? A final and definite solution of the problem is difficult.
A conjecture can however be made that to assign authenticity to the contents of the text of the outer corpus (uvungus), like Pannavanā (authored by Syamācārya), Jīva., Jambū., etc., extracts from them were incorporated in the Bhagavai which was a text of the inner corpus (angas), and as such enjoyed absolute authencity. These insertions were plausibly made at the time of the third synod presided over by Devarrddhiganī (c.450 A.D.).
A very important addition to the Viāha. is found in the fifth Sataka. The abridged text
Samsāramamdalam neyavvam-which occurs expanded in Samavāo.
In Samavāo also, the text appears to be inserted from Prathamānuyoga which is mentioned in the Nandī as Mūlaprathamānuyoga along with Gandikānuyoga. Kālakācārya (Kalkacharya) composed Lokānuyoga and Gandikānuyoga (containing expositions on sentences uniform in senses).
The Mūlaprathmānuyoga contains the biographies of the Tirthankaras, while Gandikānuyoga describes the life of Kulakaras, etc... According to Kasāyapāhuda, the Prathamānuyoga is the third among the five arthādhikāras of the Drstivāda, there being in all 24 arthādhikāras of Prathamānuyoga. The Purānas, related to the Tirtharkaras, do not have Gandikānuyoga separately, because all types of Puranas are included in the former.7

Bhagaval 4:Preface
Muni Kalyana Vijayji, on account of the word mula (in Mülaprathamānuyoga) mentioned in Nandi, has conjectured two Prathamānuyogas. Kālakācārya's disciples at Ujjaini did not accept the Anuyogas composed by Kālakācārya. Eventually Kalakācārya went to the ascetic, named, Sagara in Suvarnabhumi, where his Anuyoga was accepted."
On the evidence of the above reference, it can not be denied that the later Anuyoga-sutras like the 'sansäramandala' were incorporated in the text of the Inner Corpus for assigning authenticity to them. It is very much necessary to investigate whether the insertion was made at Devardhigani's synod or at some later period by some eminent Acārya.
Thus the present volume of the Bhagavati has been enormously enriched by the incorporation of a multitude of scriptural extracts, spread, over a number of
centuries.
The reason behind such abridgement of the present Sataka (IV), in the mind of the author of the scripture or its complier, deserves deep/critical investigation.
The Viahapannatti is a description of the expositions of central problems of Jain Philosophy and Religion. The nucleus of this text is, as pointed by Jozef Deleu, "a bewildering amalgam of detached teachings. The diversity of the topics discussed, and in many cases, that of persons and circumstances attending these discussion all but defy methodical description."" Deleu has noted a number of accretions made in the texts from time to time. For instance, "Sataka XXI to XXIII are the first secondary Pannatti added to the nucleus of the Viahapannat." "Sataka XXIV is a further addition to XXI to XXIII and enlarges upon the topic 'rebirths' by taking into account all the 24 kinds of beings, among which also figure the plants, already treated in XXI to XXIII."12

Attitudinal trends undergo constant transformation, bringing about corresponding change in leśyā (psychic colour) and aura. Just as a white peace of cloth transforms its colour into blue, red or yellow on account of its association with respective colours; in the same way the leśyās such as black etc. change on account of their association with material clusters of different colours (blue, etc.).

PREFACE
The present Sataka (V) starts with the measurement of days and nights, which is the subject matter of astronomy. The minimum length of day or night is 12 muhūrtas (= 9 hours, 36 minutes) and the maximum is 18 muhūrtas (= 14 hours, 24 minutes). This measurement is with reference to some particular parts of the hemisphere of earth. Here, it is described in the context of Bhāratavarşa only (which is the southernmost continent of the Jambu Island). The solar system is mobile in the regions inhabited by humans, while it is immobile beyond those regions where there is no alternate occurence of day and night-there, the days are always days and nights nights.
In the Vaiseșika Philosophy, the theory of infinite beginningless cycles of creation and dissolution is accepted.
Creation is followed by dissolution which, in its turn, is followed by creation. At the time of creation, the four types of material atoms which were in the state of disintegration at the time of dissolution are again integrated. The souls, the atoms, time, directions and space are eternal entities that continue to exist even at the time of dissolution. Both creation and dissolution are not accepted in Jainism. The descending and ascending time-wheel have partial similarity with the concepts of creation and dissolution. The sixth period (spoke) of the descending time-wheel is very much like the state of dissolution. Evolution starts from the 2nd period (spoke) of the ascending time-wheel. This order of evolving and devolving cycles is called time-wheel with eternal recurrence. This time-wheel obtains only in the five continents, named Bharata and five, named Airāvat.
The Jain philosophy upholds the doctrine of transformation with continuity (eternality with change). The substance (Being) never loses its existence, and in this sense, it is eternal. The substance, however, is subject to constant transformation (Becoming), and in this sense, the Jainism upholds the aspect of transformation. Being and Becoming cannot be separated. This is the essence of the doctrine of 'eternality with transformation'.? The essence of the doctrine of transformation is explained by the phrase "kimśarīratva" (identification of the possessor of the body). For instance, a grain of rice which has the body of vegetation-souls is transformed, on being cooked, into the body of 'fire souls'. In its preceding mode, it was a vegetation-soul, where as in its succeeding mode, it becomes fire-soul. The preceding mode does not continue in the succeeding mode. The result of transformation is the origination of a new mode. To take another example, the iron is the body of an earth-soul and the bone is the body of a soul of a mobile being. But when heated, they are transformed into the body of fire-souls.

Bhagavai 5:Preface
In the present 'Sataka', distinction between the knowledge, the conduct and the life-style of an omniscient person and those of a soul with a veil of ignorance has been made clear in a very simplified way.' Omniscience is the highest point of knowledge, the attainment of which makes one omniscient. A person with a veil of ignorance can attain freedom from passions, but as his ignorance has not been eliminated, he cannot reach the summit of knowledge.
The omniscience is designated as kaivalya in Jainism, which is quite different from the kaivalya of Sāmkhya-yoga philosophy, which has been defined as the total cessation of the gunas on account of their futility for human ends, or the power of consciousness attaining its self-nature.
Kriyā (urge or impulse) is the principal subject matter of Jain doctrine of conduct. In present Sataka, this topic has been discussed in connection with the act of sale and purchase of goods. The doctrine of kriyā has been considered in depth as regards it subtlety. The souls, parts of whose body have been used in the manufacturing of the bow are affected with four kinds of impulsive activity when those instruments are used for acts of violence. This is a very subtle issue of the doctrine of violence.
The names of Kanāda and Democritus are mentioned among the Indian philosophers and western thinkers, respectively, as the propounders of the atomic theory. Democritus flourished in 462-370 B.C. The Vaiseșika Sūtras were composed by Kanāda in first century A.D." The date of Lord Mahāvīra is 599-527 B.C. The atomic theory of Lord Mahāvīra was thus definitely earlier than the doctrines of Democritus and Kanāda. But the authors of the history of the Greek and Indian philosophies are not familiar with this truth. The reason for such indifference appears to be their insufficient knowledge of Jain philosophy. The individuality of atom is accepted both by the Jain and Vaiseșika philosophers. They also agree on the point that atoms have no parts. In Jainism, the material atom is partless while the quality-atom has part. Four kinds of atoms are accepted in Vaiseșika philosophy, namely, atoms of earth, water, fire and air. In Jainism, eight, main categories of material clusters are found mentioned.
The atomic doctrine is a part of the doctrine of matter (pudgala). In Jainism, the interaction between soul and matter is considered in detail.12
The problem of the number of souls has been a topic of human curiosity, which has been answered by Lord Mahāvīra by the method of division of issues; '3 so far as the total number of souls is concerned, it does neither decrease nor increase, but so far specific categories of souls are concerned, there is numerical variation.
The phenomena of darkness is due to the presence of specific material clusters. In later philosophical literature, the topic is very hotly discussed. Darkness is but the absence of lights—this view of Vaisisika is not accepted by Jainism which has logically propounded the doctrine of darkness as due to specific material clusters, which are preponderantly dark.
The order of Lord Pārśva was concurrently prevalent in the time of Lord Mahāvīra. There were frequent meetings and dialogues of the disciples of Pārsva

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 3-12
In the Island (continent) of Jambūdvspa, the sun gradually rises in the NorthEast and sets in the East-South; rises in the East-South; and sets in the South-West, rises in the South-West, and sets in the West-North, rises in the West-North and sets in the North-East.
When the visible sun becomes invisible, people identify this phenomenon with the setting in of the sun; when the invisible becomes visible, the phenomenon is called rising up of the sun.
There are two suns in the Island of Jambū. When one of those suns is in the North of Mount Meru, the other is in the South. At that time, there is day-time in the North and South parts of Mount Meru, and the night-time in the East and West parts

Bhagaval 5:1:3-12 of Mount Meru. When there is day-time in the East and West parts of Mount Metu, there is the night-time in the North and South parts.
When the longest day is eighteen muharttas, the night is twelve muharttas, because there are thirty muhurttas in a diurnal period. The shortest day is twelve muhürttas, and at that time, the night is eighteen muhürttas. The sun completes one mandala' (diurnal circle) in sixty muhürttas. The largest day is of eighteen muhurttas, and therefore, 18 muhurttas is equal to 18" part of 60 muhurttas that is, "="" When the day is of 18 muhurttas, each sun lights part of the Island of Jambudvipa. The circumference of Island of Jambudvipa is 316228 yojanas. " of that circumference is
10
316228 x
94868 / yojanas.
This is the lit field of Island of Jambudvipa.
The perimeter of Mount Meru is 31623 yojanas. The lit field of Mount Meru is of this perimeter, that is 31623 x 10
9486
yojanas.
10
The shortest day is 12 muhürttas, which is part of sixty muhurttas. The circumference of Island of Jambudvipa is 316228 yojanas. In the shortest day, the lit field of Island of Jambudvipa will be part of that circumference. It is = 61245 yojanas.
The perimeter of the Mount Meru is 31623 yojanas. The lit field of Mount Meru on the shortest day is
31623 x 6324" yojanas.
2,0 10
In length, the lit field of the Island of Jambudvipa is 45000 yojanas2 and that of the Lavana Ocean is 33333, yojanas. When these both are added, the total comes to 45000 +33333,, that is, 78333, yojanas. (See figure on p. 710).
183
When the longest day is of eighteen muhurttas, the sun is in its inner circle (mandala). When the shortest day is twelve muhürttas, the sun is in their outer circle (mandala). The sun starts it journey towards the south from the inner muhurtta circle and that period is called southern solstice (winter solstice). When the sun starts it journey from the outer muhurtta circle towards the north it is called summer solstice. In one solstice the sun has to cross 183 circles. The difference between the largest and the shortest day time is 18- 12 that is six muhurttas. The sun takes six muhurttas to cross 183 circles and therefore it takes /,,, muhurttas to cross one mandala. When the sun crosses from the innermost circle to the outermost circle, the length of the day-time is 18-17 59, muhurttas, and at that time the length of the night-time is 12+2 = 12 muhurttas. The length of the night-time increases in proportion to decrease in the length of day-time, because the total of the length of day-time and the night-timem increases in proportion to is thirty muhurttas. Every day there is increase or decrease of 3 muhurttas in the length of the day-time. When the length of the day time is seventeen muhurttas that of the night-time is thirteen. There is decrease or increase of one muhurtta when the sun crosses 30, mandalas", mandalas. There is thus decrease of muhurttas in one mandala.

Bhagavai 5:1:3-13
- 193 :
In 61%, mandalas, there is decsease of 61, x2= 1 muhürtta. In this order, when there is the day-time of seventeen muhurttas, the night-time is thirteen muhürttas. When the day-time is sixteen muhurttas, the night-time is fourteen muhūrttas, when the day-time is fifteen muhurttas, the night-time is also fifteen muhūrttas, when the day time is fourteen muhurttas, the night-time is sixteen muhürttas, when the day-time is thirteen muhurttas, the night-time is seventeen muhūrttas, when the day-time is twelve muhurttas, the night-time is eighteen muhürttas. The largest day is of eighteen muhürttas and the shortest one is of twelve muhurttas. In the same order, when the shortest night is twelve muhūrttas, the longest night is eighteen muhūrttas.
According to modern belief, the length of day and night in the northern and the southern hemispheres are in reverse order—when there is the longest day in the northern hemisphere, there is the longest night in the southern hemisphere, and vice-versa. For example--in India (in northern hemisphere) when there is the day of 18 muhurttas, there is night of 18 muhurttas in Arjentina (in southern hemisphere). Semantics navi—it is a joint form of nam and avi. anamtara—when the sun enters into the mandala which is next to the innermost mandala, then the length of the day is slightly less than 18 muhurttas. This decrease in the length of day in muhürttas. Hence, the meaning of atthārasamuhūrttānamtara is a little less than 18 muhürttas. Here, the term 'anantara signifies the presence of sun in the mandala.?
1. It is revealed that the Jainian concept of mandala (diurnal circle) alludes to the notion of declination
and that a notion of spiral motion of sun and moon is also implied therein. 2. The radius of Island of Jambūdvīpa is 50,000 yojanas and that of Mount Meru is 5,000 yojanas.
Therefore, the length of the lit field is 45,000 yojanas. 3. Bha. Vị. 5.8---'atthārasamuhuttānamtare' tti yadā sarvābhyantaramandalānantare mandale varttate

Bhagavai 5:2:31-45 Gautama! the slightly eastern winds .... up to storming winds blow when the vāyukumāra and vāyukumāris (the gods belonging to the category of Mansion godis) force the air-bodied being to undertake motion for themselves, for others and both.
Bhāsya
1. Sūtras 31-45
In the present dialogue, the varieties of winds, area of their motion and the laws of their motion have been propounded. There are four varieties of winds: eastern winds, western winds, slow winds, and stormy winds.
Abhayadevasõrī has explained purovāta (eastern winds) as winds with moisture. The word pacchã in pacchāvāyu can have two Sanskrit forms: paścât and pathya. The Vrtti here accepts pathya, meaning what is salutary to vegetation.' In his Vrtti to the Nāyadhammakahāo, Abhayadevasüri has given two meanings of purovāta-winds with moisture, eastern winds; two meanings of pacchāvāta-winds that is salutary to vegetation, western winds.
In some manuscripts of the present canon, we find the reading patthā. Abhayadevasūri also has explained the word pathyā on the basis of this reading. In the Nāyādhammakahāo (1/11/2,4,6,8), we find the reading pacchã and so the alternate meaning paścät is accepted. The reading pacchā is not plausible. Among the four varieties of winds, we have two pain of opposite winds—the first pair, namely, the eastern and western winds stand for opposite winds. In the second pair we have slow winds and stormy winds. The meaning of pathya as "what is salutary to vegetation" request scrutiny. According to the Nāyadhammakahão, all the four varieties of the winds blow in the islands and oceans, and at that time dāvadrava tree on the sea shore produce foliage and flowers. This implies that all the four varieties of winds are salutary to vegetation and so the meaning of pathya has no special significance. The confusion of meaning has been due to the reading pattha for pacchā. In the ancient script, the conjunct consonant ttha and ccha have almost the same shape and so the reading patthā for pacchā should cause no surprise.
In the sūtras 32-35, the laws of the motion of the winds in the four directions and the four sub-directions have been propounded. In the sūtras 36-39, it has been propounded that in the islands and oceans, there are all the four varieties of the winds. But in them the same variety of the winds does not blow simultaneously. ff there is blowing of slow winds in the island, there is blowing of stormy winds in the ocean. Similarly, if there is blowing of stormy winds in the island, there should be blowing of slow winds in the ocean. On account of such opposite blowings, the Lavana Ocean does not cross the sea-shore.
In the sūtras 40-45, the laws of motion of the winds are propounded. There are three laws of motion of the winds:
(1) Normal motion—this takes place when the winds blow in their natural motion."

Bhagavai 5:2:31-47
~: 203:~
(2) The motion of the secondary body-the basic body of the air-bodied beings is gross. The air-bodied beings possess also the protean body as a secondary body. When the winds blow with their protean body that is called secondary action."
(3) Motion on account of agitation-this motion is affected by the Vayukumāra gods and Vayukumārī goddesses, who belong to Mansion gods.
The Vitti mentions the text approved by a different synod, according to which, the stormy winds have no normal motion, which is possible only in the other three varieties of winds. There is no subsequent action motion in the slow winds, which is possible only in the other three varieties of winds. The motion on account of agitation is possible in all varieties of winds."
The availability of protean body in the air-bodied beings has been accepted." Protean-body means the body which can create multiple forms. The air-bodied beings are however not capable of creating multi-fold forms by it. They are capable of undertaking multi-fold motions.

1. Sūtras 51-54
In the present dialogue, the doctrine of transformation, that is, the identification. of the modes with the substance has been propounded. The application of this doctrine is possible in the fields of ontology and meditation. According to Acārya Kundakunda, a substance immediately becomes identical with the mode in which it is transformed.' The soul becomes identical with the mode in which it is transformed. For instance, a person deeply meditating on the arhat (jina) becomes spiritually like the jina.
What was the body of vegetation-soul in its past mode, is changed, when it is transformed into fire, into the body of fire-bodied being. Such transformation into the fire-bodied being is a consequential mode, which is an example of the flow of modes. No substance continues unchanged, there being a constant flow of mode. It is according to this doctrine of transformation-that the bodies of immobile beings. such as vegetation, water-bodied and earth bodied, and also the mobile beings are transformed into the bodies of fire-bodied beings.
The doctrine of the transformation of modes is discussed in their own way in Nyaya-Vaiseṣika philosophies with reference to their doctrine of arambha (new creation). On its contact with fire, there is creation of some special quality in the earth. This quality is called a quality born by baking. Such creation of quality due to baking is not possible in water, air and fire.
Is this quality due to baking produced in atoms or the body made of atoms? According to the Vaiseșika philosophers, when the jar is burnt by fire all the atoms of the jar are disintegrated, and then having acquired new quality due to burning, they integrate into a new jar. This process is technically called pilupaka (baking of the atoms).
This doctrine is opposed by the Naiyayika philosophers who assert that if all the atoms in the jar were disintegrated, the jar would cease to exist. On account of the new aggregation of atoms, the existence of a new jar has to be admitted. But, on its being baked in fire there arises no difference in the jar other than the colour. On just seeing, one can immediately recognize it as the same jar, so it can not be said that the previous jar ceased and new jar has arisen. The atoms in the jar continue remain conjoined, as before, though there is entry of dissimilar fire particles in the pores that are there in the jar, which is responsible for the change of colour in the jar. This theory is called pitharapaka, that is baking of the article called jar. In

Colour, smell, taste and touch are the qualities of matter, which undergo change due to the action of some other entity on them (prāyogika) or due to their own nature (svābhāvika). The change brought about in rice due to the conjunction of fire is a chånge due to action of some other entities. There are all kinds of colour in a material atom or a material body. So a jar made of the atoms of black earth, when burnt in fire, becomes red. For the support of this explanation, there is no need of any special doctrine of change.

Bhagavai 5:3:57-58
Bhāsya 1. Sütras 57-58
In sūtras 420 and 421 of first Sataka, the doctrine of simultaneous binding of two life-spans, and in the present Sūtras, the doctrine of simultaneous experiences of two life-spans are propounded. In the Agamic period, the doctrine of karma was very much in discussion. The life-span is closely related to the doctrine of karma. In Jainism, the life-span-determining karma is one of the eight types of karma. Maharşi Pātañjali has shown three resultants of the accumulated karma: birth, lifespan and experiences of pleasure and pain. Out of the eight types of karma in Jainism, the āyusya-karma includes both jāti and äyu of Patañjali, and the vedaniya karma is identical with bhoga of Patañjali.
There was a doctrine concerning life-span, that admitted the fruition of more than one life-span during the period of a particular life-span. This doctrine is found in the Pātañjala-yoga-bhāsya which illustrates the doctrine by reference to the life of Nahușa and Nandīśvara. Nahusa could become Indra, the king of gods, by performing sacrifices, but on account of his excessive sexuality, he wanted to enjoy Sacī, the wife of former Indra, but in order to fulfil the demand of Saci, he had to employ the hermit like Agastya to draw his palanquin. Agastya, on being struck by Nahusa's kick, caused him to the life of a python. In this case, the experiencing of pleasure and pain was changed, but there was no change in life-span. The Yogabhāsya refers to the life of Nandīśvara to illustrate the change in the life-span as well as the experience of pleasure and pain. In support of this doctrine, it has been pointed out in the Pātañjala-yoga-bhāsya that thousands of life-spans of the souls are interwoven like the knots of a net and it is for this reason that there is experience of more than one kind of life-span in one birth. According to the Bhāsya, the accumulated karma (karmāśaya) is of one birth only (ekabhavika). In the Bhāsya, the example of the fish-net is also given. It can be inferred from this that the doctrine approving the Yoga philosophy is the opponents' view in the Bhagavatī—the experiencing of two life-spans in one birth.
Lord Mahāvīra has refuted the doctrine of experiencing two life-spans in the same birth. According to him, one can experience only one kind of life in one birth If all the lives of all the souls are simultaneously experienced, it would follow that there will be arising an event of experiencing of many births in one birth which is not acceptable. He has explained the example of the knotted net in a different way. According to the opponents' view, the knots are woven with one another. Similarly, the life-spans of the lives of many souls are tied with one another. Consequently, there can be the experience of two lives in one birth.
According to Mahāvīra, the knotted net is a chain with rings tied with one another. Similarly, there is a chain of the life-spans. Each soul had experienced thousands of life-spans (that preceded the present life-span). The present birth is produced only by the present life-span. Consequently, there is the experience of only one life-span in one birth.

Bhāṣya
1. Sūtras 59-61
In the present dialogue, there is the description of the chain of life-span. No mundane soul lives for a moment without life-span. The period between the death and next birth is the interval of transit. There is the absence of the gross and the protean body during that interval. In this sense, the soul is without any body during the interval. In the absence of body, the sense-organs made up of matter are also absent, and in this sense, the soul is devoid of any sense- organ. But the soul is not without the life-span; even in the transit period, he is endowed with life-span.
The life-span of the next birth is determined in the present birth. The following are the rules that regulate the binding of ensueing life-span:3

On the binding of life-span, we get two more views in the Commentary on Gommatsāra, which are quite different from the above:

Bhagavai 5:3:59-61
-:213 :(1) The soul binds the life-span of the next birth, when the innumerableth part of an āvalikā in the present life-span is remnant.
(2) The soul binds the life-span of the next life, when one muhurtta less one time-unit in the present life-span is remnant.
Now, let us make a review of this discussion. The current life-span is experienced in the present birth; the experience of the life-span of the next birth begins in the time-unit immediately following the end of the preceding birth. In accordance with this rule of the experience of the life-span, the doctrine that the soul during the internal transit is possessed of the life-span of the next birth, is implied. Jinabhadragani Ksamāśramana has discussed in detail the internal transit from the empirical and metempirical points of view. Siddhasenagaņī has briefly given its substance as follows: In the case of straight transit to the place of birth, the life-span of the preceding birth continues till the arrival at the next birth-place. In the case of transit with turn, there is the life-span of the preceding birth in the first time-unit, and in the second time-unit there begins the life-span of the next birth. Srimajjayāchārya, following this doctrine, writes: "The liberated soul eliminates the four aghāti karmas in the first time-unit of its liberated state. Any intelligent person can compare the first section of the fourth chapter of the Thānam for the confirmation of this truth." In the following gāthā of Uttarādhyayanas also, this has been stated: “After having abandoned the body (here), the soul goes to siddhasilā (the abode of liberated souls) and becomes liberated there."

Does1 the soul, O Lord! bind the life-span of that life-form, in which he is destined to be born, for instance, the life-span of infernal, of the sub-human being, of the human or of celestial?
Yes Gautama! the soul binds the life-span of that life-form, in which he is destined to be born, for instance, the life-span of infernal, of the sub-human, of the human or of celestial. The soul that binds the life-span of the infernal binds seven types of life-span: viz., the life-span of the infernal of Ratnaprabhā land, the life-span of the the infernal of Śarkrāprabhā land, the life-span of the infernal of the Bālukāprabhā land, the life-span of the infernal of Pankaprabhā land, the life-span of the infernal of Dhūmaprabhā land, the life-span of the infernal of Tamaḥprabhā land, the life-span of the infernal of Adhaḥsaptami land. The soul that binds the life-span of the sub-human being binds five types of life-span, namely the life-span of one-sensed sub-human being, the life-span of two-sensed sub-human being, the life-span of three-sensed sub-human being, the life-span of four-sensed sub-human being, the life-span of five-sensed sub-human being. The soul that binds the life-span of the human being binds two types of life-span, namely, the human being born by agglutination of material particles, or the human being born in the womb. The soul that binds the life-span of celestial binds four types of life-span, namely, the life-span of Mansion gods, the life-span of Forest gods, the life-span of Luminous gods or the life-span of Empyrean gods.

________________
Bhagaval 5:3:62-63
1. Sutra 62
'Life-span' means the mass of material clusters constituting the 'life-span-determining karma', which can not be explained without a reference to the 'lifeform'. The soul binds the life-span-determining karma in accordance with its capacity to take birth in a particular life-form. There are four kinds of life-forms: 1. Infernal, 2. Sub-human, 3. Human, 4. Celestial. The different causes that produce the capacity to take birth in a particular life-form has been mentioned at many places in the scriptures.' In the present surra, the relationship of the life-span has been established with all the four types of life-form.
The life-span of the next birth is bound in the present birth with reference to following six aspects2
(1) Life-span bound as inalterable (except augmentation and reduction) in
its aspect of jäti (species), of birth according to sense-organsDetermination of one particular species out of the five.
(2) Life-span bound as inalterable in its aspect of gati (life-form)

Does he hear, O Lord! those sounds which touch (the ear)? or does he hear those sounds which do not touch the ear? O Gautama! he hears the sounds which touch (the ear), he does not hear the sounds which do not touch. Does he hear, O Lord! those sounds which have entered into the soul-units or which have not entered into the soul-units?

Bhāsya
1. Sutra 64
In the present dialogue, the process of hearing the sound has been explained. There are five objects of the sense-organs: touch, taste, smell, colour (also shape) and sound. The three sense-organs, namely, tactile, gustatory and olfactory (i.e., touch, tongue and nose) sense their objects which are bound with them and are in touch with them; the eye sees the object that is not in touch, the ear perceives the object that is in touch with it.' On this basis, these sense-organs have been classified as those that perceive their objects that are in touch, and those perceive their objects that are not in touch. There is no touch between the eye and its object, so the eye sees the object that is not in touch with it. The remaining four sense-organs perceive their objects, when they are in touch with them. Although there is touch between the ear and the material atoms and clusters of sounds, there is no feeling of them. But in the case of other three sense-organs, namely, touch, taste and smell, there is touch with the object as well as the feeling of the object. On this basis, the five sense organs have been divided into two classes: the first three (namely touch, taste and smell are called bhogi (feeling-producing) and the remaining two (eye and ear) are called kāmi (desire producing). The following are the fundamental conditions of the process of hearing:
1. The sound that is in touch with the soul-units in the auditory faculty can
be heard. 2. The sound which is situated in the same space-units as the soul-units can
be heard. 3. The sound which is situated in the same space-units as the soul-units
without any gap can be heard. 4. Both the subtle and gross sounds can be heard.
Here 'subtle' and 'gross' are relative. The material atoms in the sound cluster (speech cluster) have four touches only, and hence, they can not be heard. There is an explosion of the sound produced by the mouth of the speaker. In that explosion, many other material clusters possessed of infinite number of indivisible units, combining together, transform the sound clusters of four touches into those with eight touches. The resultant sound material clusters with eight touches become the object of the auditory sense-organ. Here 'subtle' does not mean subtle atom with four touches. Malayagiri has clarified the meaning of 'subtle' as the material clusters of a small number of indivisible units, and 'bādara' as meaning
Page #243
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 5:4:64
- 219 :
the material clusters of a large number of indivisible units.? 5. All the three kinds of sound, namely, sound situated at the top, the bottom
and horizontally, can be heard. 6. The sound can be heard at all the three time-units, namely, beginning,
middle and end. The time appropriate for grasping the material clusters belonging to speech clusters (bhāşa dravya) is intra-hour in the maximum. The sound can become the object of hearing at the first time-unit, middle time-unit and last time-unit. There are waves of sound which flow. A wave begins at a particular place and ends after crossing some distance, giving rise to another wave that begins and ends at some distance. One can grasp all the three stages--the beginning, middle and the end of the
waves. 7. The sound which is object (svavișaya) of one's own sense-organ can be
heard. In the Pannavaņā, the distance of the object of hearing has been described as the innumerableth part of a breadth of a finger in the minimum and 12 yojanas in the maximum.' Malayagiri has given three meanings of the word 'object of one's own hearing' as the sound that is in touch with the ear, occupying the same space as one's soul and doing
so without a gap. But the first meaning is more appropriate. 8. In order (ānupuvvī)—Only those sounds which come in regular order to
the field of hearing can be heard; those coming out of order or by jump
cannot be heard. 9. The sounds from all the six directions-east, west, north, south, top and
bottom-can be heard. The reason is that the articulation of sound is possible for the mobile beings who exclusively inhabit only the central cord of the cosmos called "cord of mobile beings”. They hear sound from all the six directions as a rule. In the loka's central cord of mobile beings, it is possible for them to grasp the matter from all the six directions" (because the extreme top and bottom of the loka's central cord are
not inhabited by the mobile beings. See fig. in Bhāsya on 2.2-7). Semantics Drum (kharmuhi) -- It is a military drum. 2 Vīņā (piripiriya) - It is a typical Indian musical instrument like a lute or sitāra (like a guitar with a long neck and seven strings), with gourds on both ends. Among the musical instruments in the Southern India, there is mention of tamjorī vīņä and tambūrā. Tamjori vīņā is an important string instrument in south Karnataka music. There are two gourds in this instrument. In Southern India, tambūrā is used to provide basic tone to the music. It is somewhat different in shape from the tānapurā of north India. In the tambūrā, there is tumbā (gourd) made of wood, not natural tumbā. Tānpurā is sometimes also called tambūrā. There is a tānapurā with two tumbās in the museum at Madras.14 The tumbā in the tānapurā is arround at bottom and slightly flat at top. It is hollow inside, so the sound vibrates in it."

Paņava - drum of the bhāndas (bhānda means a musical instrument according to Apte), small drum (a tabor or a taboret)."'Like mrdanga, panava (a tabor) is also a very ancient Indian musical instrument fastened by calf-skin on the head. Maharshi Bharata, in his Nātya-śāstra, has assigned a very important place to panava, after mrdanga, among such instruments. About the shape and size of panava, he has said, "It is sixteen angulas in length, concave in the middle, eight angulas in width, and at both the ends five ungulas in diameter. Its wood is '/angustha in thickness, and the diameter of the hollow inside is 4 angulas. Both the ends of the panava are fastened with soft calf-skin, tightened by thread, which is kept somewhat loose.”7 Pataha -- drum.! Bhambhā ----dhakkā'i.e., double drum or jayadhakkā20 (i.e., a double drum which is sounded on gaining victory in the battle). Horambha --a large double drum.2) Bheri --- nagadā, darkā-kettle-drum.22
Nagādā is made of a cup like bowl, made of earth or wood; it is struck with two pieces of sharp wood. It is also called nakārā. 23 According to one opinion, nagādā was a musical instrument used in mediaeval period, which was round in shape and was made of two weak iron cups of the same size, covered with the hide of goat or buffalo.24 Jhallari-Cymbals 25_-It is a folk-music instrument. It is concave-circular in middle. Two big size concave circular metal picces produce sound when they are clashed. It is called jhālurä in South India, which is like manjirā made of bronze and brass or any other beil metal. There is a hole in the centre, through which a thread or a string is passed, for holding the plates. It is played by the support of both hands.26 According to another opinion, metal circular pieces of 8 to 16 angulas in diameter are called jhāñjha. Any desirable tone can be produced by clashing the plates held in hands tightened by the threads. A small cymbal (or jhāñjha) is called mañjirā (or cymbalet). Mostly these instruments are used in hymnal prayers of gods/goddesses.27 Dundubhi — a large kettle-drum.2% The words from tata ...... up to śușira
There are four types of musical instruments: Tata ---stringed instruments such as vīnā and the like. Vitata - non-stringed instruments such as drum and the like. Ghana - bronze intruments such as cymbals and the like. Sușira - wind instruments such as flute and thelike.
The terms tata and vitata are differently explained in Tattvārtharājvārtika and Tattvārthabhāsya. 30 For a detailed consideration of the tones produced by the four kinds of musical instruments, see Thānum 2/112-119, 4/632, notes.

Does, O Lord! the omniscient hears the sounds within the reach of the senses and also (beyond them) unlike a human with the veil of ignorance who hears the sounds within the reach of the senses and not those which are beyond them? O Gautama! the omniscient indeed transcendentally knows and sees the sounds that are within the reach of the senses or beyond them, and the sound

O Gautama! the omniscient transcendentally knows and sees the measurable (or countable) as well as the immeasurable (or uncountable) in the east. Similarly in the south, west, north, above and below, he transcendentally knows and sees the measurable as well as the immeasurable. The omniscient transcendentally knows and sees the all, he transcendentally knows and sees in all respects, he transcendentally knows and sees in all times, he

transcendentally knows and sees all modes. His knowledge is infinite, hist vision is infinite, his knowledge is without any veil, his vision is without any veil.
For this reason, it is said, O Gautama! that the omniscient indeed transcendentally knows and sees the sounds that are within the reach of the senses or beyond them and the sounds that are remotest, nearest and in the middle.
Bhāṣya
1. Sūtras 65-67
In the present context, a line of distinction has been drawn between the soul with veil of ignorance and the omniscient soul that is pure and perfect, and free from the veil of ignorance. The soul with veil of ignorance hears the sound, but the omniscient soul simply knows it (but does not sensually hear it). The omniscient does not know through the senses, or any other media,' but he directly knows by the soul. He directly perceives the sound waves, independently of the medium of ear. It has on this ground been established that the omniscient only knows (as distinguished from hears) the sounds that are within or beyond the field of hearing. The soul, with the veil of ignorance, hears the sound by his ears, and so he can hear only those sounds which are only within the reach of his cars; he cannot hear those sounds which are beyond the field of his hearing.
Semantics
Aragayam-The sound which is within the reach of the sense-organ. Paragayam-The sound which is beyond the reach of the sense-organ. Savvadūramula-manamtiyam-The omniscient knows the sounds that are spatially remotest and that are spatially nearest and that are situated in the middle; temporally speaking, the sounds that are without a beginning and that are without an end.
The commentator has given two interpretations-one with respect to space and the other with respect to time. According to him, savvaduramula stands for both the remotest and the nearest; ananantikam stands for that which is not near and not far i.e. which is situated in the middle. Temporally, savvadūramüla stands for 'what has no beginning (anadi), and ananiiyam stands for 'what has no end".? Nivvude-Free from veils.

The Topic of Laughter by One with Veil of Ignorance and the Omniscient One
Does' a man with veil of ignorance, O Lord! indulge in laughter? Does he indulge in excitement?
Yes, he does indulge in laughter and excitement.

For what reason has it been said, O Lord! that an omniscient one does not indulge in laughter and excitement just like the one with a veil of ignorance? Gautama! because the souls indulge in laughter and excitement on account of the udaya (rise) of conduct-deluding karma and because the omniscient one is devoid of such karma. Gautama! for this reason it has been said that an omniscient one does not indulge in laughter and excitement just like the one with a veil of ignorance.

O Lord! how many types of karma does a soul bind when indulging in laughter and excitement?
Gautama! he binds seven types of karma, or eight types of karma. In this way it is to be spoken of upto the Empyrean (vaimäņika) gods. In the sutras, in which the jiva is in plural number, there are three alternatives everywhere, excepting the sutras for the jivas in plural' and the one-sensed beings: (1) All of the souls (in the 19 dandakas) bind seven types of karma. (2) All souls, (except one) bind seven types of karma and a single jiva binds eight types of karma.
(3) Some souls bind seven types of karma and some souls bind eight types of

karma. There is only one alternative in the case of plurality of souls and one-sensed souls-all of them bind seven types and eight types of karma.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 68-71
There are two classes of conduct-deluding karma-passions and quasipassions. Quasi-passions stand for something like passions or auxiliary passions. The first type of quasi-passions is laughter. Siddhasenagani has mentioned many kinds of laughter--such as utprāsana (joking etc.).' The Tattvärtha Vārtika also has mentioned them.
Excitement is a kind of relish (rativedaniya). In the Uttarajjhayanāņi, it is said that renunciation of pleasure produces absence of excitement, resulting in the destruction of the conduct-deluding karma." 2. He binds seven types of karma ....... or eight types of karma
There are two broad division of karmika bondage. The binding of the lifespan-determining karma occurs only once in life time, so generally speaking there is the division of the binding of the seven types of karma. The division of the binding of the eight types of karma happens at the time of binding of the life-span determining karma. 3. The sūtras for the jīvas in plural (prthaktva sūtras)
The word 'prthaktva sutra' means—the sütra with a word in plural. In the sūtras when the word jīva is in the plural, there are three alternatives in the nineteen classes (dandakas), excepting the word jīva and the one-sensed beings (earth, water, fire, air and vegetation). Under the term jīva and the one-sensed beings, there are many souls, so there is only one alternative consisting of many souls binding seven types of karma and many souls binding eight types of karma. The constitution of three alternatives is made thus:
(1) All souls that bind seven types of karma.
(2) All souls (except one) bind seven types of karma and only one soul binds cight types of karma.
(3) Many souls bind seven types oi karma and many souls bind eight types of karma.
There exist laughter and excitement in the one-sensed beings such as earthbodied beings and the like. According to the Vrtti, laughter, excitement etc. are the consequences of the karma of past life. In the present life also (of one-sensed beings), laughter and excitement exist in dormant condition.

Gautama! he binds seven types or eight types of karma ...... thus up to Empyrean (vaimāņika) gods, in the sūtras in plural number, there are always three alternatives, excepting the souls and the one-sensed souls (as in the sūtra no 5.71).
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 72-75
In the present dialogue, a line of distinction has been drawn between the soul, with the veil of ignorance, and the omniscient one, on the basis of sleep. According to the doctrine of karma, the rising of darśanāvaraniya karma is the cause of sleep. According to Caraka, when the mind is tired and the sense-organs are inactive and detached from their respective objects, human being sleeps. The function of the darśanāvaraniya is to veil the sensual intuition. Sleep occurs when those sensual intuitions are veiled. One can see the similarity between the doctrine of karma and the view of Caraka regarding sleep.
According to modern medical science, the whole time of sleep can be divided into several cycles of sleep. A cycle of sleep of a person is round about 90 minutes (it means in a sleep of 7.5 hours, there will be such 5 cycles). Each cycle of sleep is divided into two parts—(i) The first part which is about 70-80% lasts for 70 minutes, and is called non-rapid eye movement (N. R. E. M.), (ii) the second part which is about 20 to 25% lasts for 20 minutes, and is called rapid eye movement (R. E. M.). The N. R. E. M. is a state of rest, and is divided into four states-(i) drowsiness or napping (ii) undoubtedly pure sleep (iii) & (iv) a deep state of sleep. The R. E. M. sleep can be termed as pseudo-sleep or false sleep, for in this state the person remains in sleep in spite of overactive or too much agitated state of brain. During this state, there is a rapid movement of the eyes. Generally, it is this state during which one dreams. The reasons of the rapid movement of the eyes is also that a person tries to follow what he sees in the dream, but because of the relaxed condition of the muscles of the body, the person himself does not make movement. Actually, it is a state of deep sleep. It is important for consolidation of the memory power. Generally, one does not remember the dreams one has during NREM state, but remembers those which occur during REM state.
There are several beliefs about the process of the origin of sleep. One remains awake on account of the agitative condition of the Raticular Activity System of the brain. When there is any hindrance in this agitation, the state of sleep occurs. Also, when the neurons of some portion of the brain, which release serotonin, becomes stimulated, sleep occurs. The cause of the REM sleep is the stimulation of locus serulius and situated in the pons of the brain and also of the noradrinergic neurons.?

Does' Hari-negamesī, the Messenger of Sakra, O Lord! while transferring the embryo from the body of a woman, transfers the embryo from the womb to the womb, or womb to vagina, or from vagina to womb, or vagina to vagina? Gautama! he does not transfer (the embryo) from womb to womb, nor from womb to vagina, nor from vagina to vagina, but he takes out the embryo from the vagina and places it in the womb of another woman by safely
manipulating its transfer manually, without causing any pain to the embryo. 5.77 pabhū nam bhamte! hari-negamesī sakkadüe itthīgabbham nahasiramsi vā,

Is Hari-negamesī, the Messenger of Sakra, O Lord! capable of taking out embryo (from the womb of the mother) and placing it in the womb of another woman) with the tip of his nail or with the pore of his hair respectively? Yes, he is so capable; and while doing it, he neither causes the embryo any kind of pain, slight or severe, nor dose he pierce the skin. Taking out the embryo from one womb and placing it into another womb is performed with such great expertise.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 76-77
In the present dialogue, there is description of the transference of the embryo. In the Antagadadasāo, we get an allusion to Hari-negamesí also. There Sulasā made an idol of Harī-negamesī and worshipped it. Hari-negamesī carried the newborn dead sons of Sulasā by his palms and deposited them near Devakī and carried away the just born alive sons of Devaks to Sulasā. From this, we get the information about the involvement of the god Hari-negamesī in the act of transferring the embryos or bodies of children. In the Ayūracūlā, there is mention of the transfer of the embryo of Mahāvīra, but there is no mention of Hari-negamesī there.? In the Pajjosanākuppo, there is description of the transfer of Mahāvīra's embryo, where god Hari-negamesī

'In that age, at that time, there was a child ascetic, named Atimuktaka, a disciple of the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra. He was gentle by nature, tranquil by nature, with attenuated anger, pride, deceit and greed, by nature, endowed

Then, the child ascetic Atimuktaka sees a brook flowing; having seen it, he erects a barrier of soil; having done so, he exclaims, pointing to his bowl, “this is my boat, this is my boat", and like a boatman, floats his bowl on water, and starts playing with it. The elderly monks marked him thus playing. They, then repaired to the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, and addressed him thus, "Thus, there is indeed, O Lord! the child ascetic named Atimuktaka, the disciple of the beloved of gods (i.e., Your Lordship!).

"O Noble Ones!" saying so, the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra addressed the Elders thus: Thus, indeed, O Noble Ones! my disciple, the child ascetic, named Atimuktaka, is gentle by nature...... up to humble (as in 5.78). He, Atimuktaka, the child ascetic, will, in this very birth, be liberated..... up to sufferings (as in 5.80). Therefore, do not you, Noble Ones! disdain, despise, deprecate, censure and insult him. O you beloved of gods! accept the child ascetic Atimuktaka without any feeling of disgust, support him without any feeling of disgust, and serve him with food and drink with humbleness, without any feeling of disgust. The child ascetic Atimuktaka is destined to put an end to his mundane existence and is now in his last reincarnation.

Thus told by the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, those Lord Elders offer homage and obeisance to the Ascetic Lord Mahavira. They accept the child ascetic Atimuktaka without any feeling of disgust, offer him support without any feeling of disgust, and serve him with food and drink with humbleness and without any feeling of disgust.
1. Sūtras 78-82
The life of the child ascetic, Atimuktaka, is found delineated in the Amtagadadasão. The incident of floating the bowl as a boat in water, however, is not mentioned there. The Vṛtti says that the child ascetic, Atimuktaka, was ordained in his sixth year which is considered by the commentator as surprise. The Amtagaḍadasão does not mention the age of ordination of Atimuktaka. When he expressed his desire for ordination, his parents said him thus: 'O son! you are yet a child, unenlightened and ignorant of the monastic discipline"."
There is no doubt that Atimuktaka was ordained when he was a mere child. Semantics
agilā-without any feeling of disgust.
Bhasya
samginhaha-accept.
uvaginhaha-support.
amtakara-destined to put an end to birth and death.

Then those two gods, being thus mentally addressed, for their mentally put query by the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, were happy, pleased, composed, delighted and beatified.

In that age, at that time, there was the ascetic named Indrabhūti, of Gautama lineage. He was seniormost disciple of the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra. He was seven standard cubits in height and possessed of a symmetrical quadrangularly built configuration, and (the first type of bone-structure, viz.,) vajra-rşabha-nārāca samhanana, i.e., his bone-joints were fastened together by a bony ring pierced by a bony nail. His complexion was yellowish white resembling a slender streak of gold left on touchstone and lotus-pollens. He was practising austerity that was rigorous, shining, blazing, intensive, awful, unrelenting and of inimitable quality, and sublime; he was observing unfaltering celibacy; he was endowed with yogic power of levitation, massive fiery power condensed in his body, complete knowledge of the Fourteen Books of the Early Lore; he was possessed of first four types of knowledge, and the potency of the knowledge of the combination of the letters. He was seated neither too near nor too far from the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, with his knees erect and head bent. He was engrossed in meditation cell, sublimating the self by means of self-restraint and austerity. At that time, there arose, in his state of interval between two meditation sessions, the following resolve that was internal, recollective, wishful and mental—'Thus, indeed, two gods, possessed of great fortune ...... great power (5.83), have appeared before the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra; I do not indeed know those gods, from which kalpas or heavens or vimānas, or for what purpose, indeed, have they come here. So I should go to the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, offer him obeisance and homage ...... up to worship him. I should ask him these questions in such form.' Thinking thus, he ponders thus; having so pondered, he gets up in the posture of rising and, having risen, he repairs to the

Bhāsya
1. Sūtras 83-88
Mental dialogue quâ question and answer is a super-sensuous process. Any person can become a mental questioner and any other person can be a mental replier. There is nothing extra-ordinary in this process. But what is para-normal is to understand the mentally communicated query and on the other end to grasp the reply given by the replier at the mental level. The Lord was omniscient, so it was not difficult for him to know the query put at the mental level and give the answer mentally. The gods were possessed of clairvoyant knowledge, so it was possible for them to understand the answer communicated to them at the mental level.
The omniscient Lord has no psychic mind (bhāva mana), but he does possess the physical mind (dravya mana) which he exercises for communication. The psychical mind can be compared with the sensory nervous system, while the motor nervous system is comparable to the physical mind.
In Jain epistemology, yoga (i.e., activities of body, speech and mind) and upayoga (i.e., activities of consciousness) are considered to be separate phenomena. The former is in the form of the motor activities, while the latter is a cognitive process of sentience.
According to modern medical science, the sensory nerves carry out the cognitive (sensory) activities--the messages of sense-organs to the brain as well as the neuronal activities of the brain, which ultimately interpret the sensory message and result in sensory knowledge. On the other hand, the motor nerves are responsible for carrying out various muscular activities which result in physical activities of body. The speech activities are also regulated through the vocal cord's motor nerves.
The Omniscient (Kevali) does not use the sense-organs for cognitive activities; in the same way, the Omniscient does not use bhāva mind (mana) for cognitive activities. thus the bhāva mana in the form of cognitive activities is absent in the Kevali, but the Kevali does make use of the mind in the form of motor nerves' activities for carrying on the activities of mind and speech. As there is yoga in Kevali, he can do the activities of muscles-of body and vocal cords. Hence, there is the use of physical mind (dravya mana) in carrying out the activities of manoyoga, but this is quite different from the cognitive mind used in the cognitive activities. Also refer to Bhāşya on Bha. 5.100-102.

In the present dialogue, there is discrimination between proper and improper languages. Human beings have been divided into three groups on the basis of restraint
and absence of restraint:
1. Unrestrained - devoid of restraint.
2. Restrained-cum-unrestrained - that is, a person who is partially restrained along with lack of restraint.

Bhagavas 5:4:92-93
-: 237 :3. Restrained --- possessed of complete restraint.
Gods can not practise self-restrained or even partial self-restraint, so it would not be proper to designate them "self-restrained" or "restrained-cum-unrestrained". To call them "unrestrained" would amount to using harsh language; so, a new designation has been invented-gods are “non-restrained”. Such usage is neither unreal, nor harsh.

In what language, O Lord!' do the gods speak? Which language acquires special significance, while being spoken? O Gautama! the gods speak in the Ardhamāgadhi language. The Ardhamāgadhi language acquires special significance, while being spoken.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 93
Lord Mahāvīra delivered his sermon in the Ardhamāgadhi language.' Among the thirty-four supernormal qualities of the tīrthankara, it has been said that the Lord exposes his sermons in the Ardhamāgadhi language. In the present Sūtra, the Ardhamāgadhi language has been described as a language of gods. In the Vaidika literature, Samskrta has been designated as the language of gods. The designation of language of gods differs from tradition to tradition. The Vrtti has mentioned six kinds of languages: Prākrta, Samskrta, Māgadhi, Paiśācī, Sauraseni and Apabhramsa. According to the Vrtti, the language that exhibits the characteristics of both Prākrta and Māgudhi is Ardhamāgadhi. The Ardhāmagadhī language acquires a special significance while being spoken. This has not been explained in the Vrtti. One reason of the special significance may be due to its being the language of tīrtharkara, which has the power of being transformed into many dialects. The implication is that the language of the tirtharkara is adaptable to the dialects of the audience. The second quality is that it is the language of gods. The third quality is that it is the language of people.

What is the other source of valid knowledge?
The other sources of valid knowledge are propounded to be fourfold, viz., direct perception, inference, analogy and scripture; these are to be explained as in the Anuyogadvāra Sūtra, starting from the topic of pramāņa (Source of Valid Knowledge)..... the topic that follows, viz, for the grand-disciples of the ganadharas (chief disciples of the jina) both the sutragama and arthāgama are neither the atmägama, nor anantaragama but only paramparāgama. 5.98 kevali nam bhamte! carimakammam vā, carimaṇijjaram vā jāṇai-pāsai? hamtā jāṇai-päsai.

Yes, he knows and sees.

Gautama! This is not possible. He can only know and see by hearing (from authentic persons) or from other sources of valid knowledge. The description of the last karmika resultant is to be known in toto just as in the dialogue. about a person putting an end to the worldly life.
Bhasya
1. Sutras 94-99
In the present dialogue, a line of distinction between a person, with the veil of ignorance, and the omniscient has been drawn.' The person, with the veil of ignorance, does not know and see the person in his last corporeal incarnation, or the last karmika resultant, or the last falling away of karmika particles. Only the omniscient knows and sees them.
Unlike the omniscient, the person, with the veil of ignorance, knows and sees indirectly by two means (1) hearing (from the omniscient or his immediate disciple who has heard from the omniscient), or (2) by any other source of valid knowledge. In the Jain scriptures, these sources of valid knowledge are classified in two ways-In Anuyogaddārāim, the sources of valid knowledge are four-direct perception, inference, analogy and scriptures. This classification is approved in the school of Nyaya philosophy. The author of the Anuogaddäräim, Aryarakṣita, was initially a scholar of Nyaya philosophy. When he became a Jain monk in his later life, he
Page #264
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
~: 240:~
Bhagavai 5:4: 94-99 introduced this classification in Jain philosophy. (See the topic on 'asocca' in Bha. 9.9-32)
The second way of classification of the sources of knowledge is found in the Nandi Sutra, which classifies knowledge as direct and indirect.
In the carlier Agamika period, five-fold classification of knowledge was in vogue, which were divided into two groups viz., mati and śruta as indirect, and the other three, via., avadhi, manaḥparyaya and kevala as direct. This classification of knowledge as direct and indirect is accepted by Umasvati in his Tattvärtha Sutra.
In early Jainism, the doctrine of five varieties of knowledge was dealt with in great detail. But later on, the doctrine of four pramanas of the Nyaya school was introduced in Jainism by Aryarakṣita, as noted alone. Later on, in the Tattävrtha Sutra, we find the earlier five kinds of knowledge, classified as pratyakṣa and paroksa, and brought in line with the general doctrine of pramāṇa in Indian logic.2
The Anuyogadvara's classification of four-fold pramāņa did not get an important place in the later Jain logical literature. The mention of fourfold pramana in the present canon needs scrutiny as to whether it found place in the time of Devarddhigani or was there from earlier times. Had Devarddhigani himself introduced them in the cannon, he should have mentioned pratyakṣa and paroksa as the the two sources of knowledge, which was the very fundamental mode of classification in Jainism.

carama nirjară-last falling away of karmika particles; it is synchronous with the first time-unit of the state of siddha.2
kevali-śrävaka-a monk-disciple of omniscient. According to Vṛtti, śrāvaka means one who desires to hear the sermon of the omniscient.
kevali-upāsaka-he is not a śravaka, because he does not intend to hear the omniscient, being only a worshipper of the omniscient.' (Explanation given in the Vrtti needs further consideration. In Pali, the word sävaka is used for 'a monk', and upasaka is used for a lay follower). tatpäkşika-kevalipäkṣika. i.e. svyambuddha (self-enlightened). The term pakkhiye is a scriptural usage.
ātmāgama, anantaragama, paramparāgama-The tirthankara himself propounds the meaning. Therefore the attha i.e., 'meaning' is ātmāgama that is the essence of the canon revealed by the tirthankara. The essence embodied in language is the sutta composed by ganadhara. This satra is anantaragama because the tirthankara is the immediate source of it. The sutra is anantaragama for the disciples of ganadhara, and the attha (artha) is the paramparāgama for those disciples. Both the sutra and the artha are neither ātmāgama nor anantaragama but only the paramparagama for the grand-disciples of the ganadhara."

Bhagavai 5:4:100-102 For what reason it has been said, O Lord! that some, among such gods, do know and see, there are others they do not know and see? Gautama! the Vaimānika gods are of two kinds viz., born with deceitfulness and perverse view, born free from deceitfulness and with right view. Among them those who are with deceitfulness and wrong view do not know and see. Those who are free from deceitfulness and are with right view do know and see. For what reason? Gautama! those, free from deceitfulness and possessed of right view, are of two kinds, viz., those who are just born (that is, who are in the first samaya of birth), and those who are in the subsequent samaya (after birth). Among them those who are just born do not know and see. Those who are in the subsequent samaya do know and see. For what reason? Those who are in the subsequent samaya are of two kinds viz., undeveloped and developed. Those who are undeveloped do not know and see. Those who are developed do know and see. For what reason? Gautama! the developed Vaimāņika gods are of two kinds, viz., those who are intent (on knowing and seeing) and those who are not intent. Those who are not intent do not know and see. Those who are intent do know and see. For this reason it has been said that some among of Vaimāņika gods do know and see and some do not know and see.
Bhāsya
1. Sūtras 100-102
Munu-it is knowledge due to the annihilation-cum-suppression of the jñānāvarana and darśanavarana karma. The knowledge of the omniscient is due to the complete annihilation of these karma, so the omniscient has been designated as nosamjñinoasamjñi,' the implication being that the omniscient has nosamjñāmana. In the present dialogue, the existence of mana (mind) has been accepted in the omniscient. Mind is of two kinds-corporeal mind (dravya mana) and non-corporeal mind (bhāva muna). The corporeal mind is made of matter, the incorporeal mind is of the nature of knowledge. The omniscient has no non-corporeal mind, he has only the corporeal mind. In the present dialogue, it is the corporeal mind that has been described in omniscient.
The mind and speech are closely related. So, the question arises as to the possibility of the speech for the omniscient if he has no mind.
In the Viseşāvasyaka Bhäsya, it is pointed out that the delivered speech is preceded by mental thinking. According to Gomattasāra, the speech of a speaker who is possessed of only sensory knowledge is preceded by the activity of the

- 243 :mind. The activity of the mind has been only metaphorically accepted in the omniscient and the person of super-sensuous knowledge. In the Dhavalā also, this question has been discussed: if the omniscient has no mind, how could speech, which is the product of mind, be possible for him in the absence of mind? In reply, the author of Dhavalā asserts that speech is the product of knowledge and not mind." So, possibility of speech in omniscient can not be denied. See Bhä. on Bha. 5. 83-88.

In the present dialogue, the doctrine of psychical communication has been propounded. When any question arises in the minds of the gods of the highest heavens they, sitted in their abodes, enter into psychic dialogue and discussion with the Omniscient Lord residing in the human world. The Omniscient Lord answers their question at the mental level. The gods know the answer through the modes of
Page #269

Bhagavai 5:4:103-107
- 245 :the mental clusters in the Omniscient Lord. The Omniscient Lord does not possess non-corporeal mind but he exercises the corporeal mind. When the Omniscient Lord wants to convey anything there is vibration in his soul-units which attracts the mental (material) clusters?' The gods of the highest heavens know those modes of the mind. According to the Vrtti, the domain of their clairvoyance is the cosmic cord. Even the person whose domain of knowledge is innumerableth part of the cosmos is the capable of knowing the mental clusters so it should not be impossible for the gods to know the modes of the mind, because the domain of their knowledge is the entire cosmic cord.2
Srimajjayācārya in his hymn addressed to Nami, the twenty-first tīrthankara, has referred to the above topic. It is, “The gods of the highest heaven ask question to the jina (tirthankara) and the jina gives annswer to them; the gods know through their clairvoyance the answer given by the Jina. O Lord Naminātha! you are my beloved."

Bhāsya 1. Sutra 107
According to the Vrtti, the word 'deluding karma' stands for a conductdeluding karma concerning sex'. There are three states of the deluding karma, viz., (i) as rising, (ii) as suppressed and (iii) as eliminated. In the gods of the highest heaven, there is no intense rising of this karma, nor this karma is eliminated there, but the karma is in the state of suppression. Umāsvāti has characterized the Neck-dwelling gods and the gods of the highest heavens as devoid of sexual indulgence.

In them, the sex is very mild, so they are uninterruptedly absorbed in the bliss of meditation. They are satisfied with natural highest beatitude. As a result, there does not arise in them, the desire for attractive forms, tastes, smells, touch and sounds. This is found mentioned in the Pannavanā? also.
The expression 'suppressed delusion' in the present dialogue has a relative import, because even in the gods of the highest heavens, the delusion is not absolutely suppressed as in the case of the 11th state of spiritual development, viz., "suppressed delusion (upasanta-moha)" on the ‘ladder of suppression', but it remains suppressed to some extent.

nivvude nāne kevalissa, nivvude damsane kevalissa, se tenatthenam goyamā! evam vuccai-kevali nam āyānehim na jänai, na pāsai.. For what reason has it been said that the unveiled (omniscient) lord does not know and see through the external media? Gautama! it is because the unveiled (omniscient) lord knows both the finite and the infinite, in the Eastern direction, and so also in the southern, western, and northern directions and also upward and downward directions. (In meaning that the sensory media cannot know infinity in any direction). The unveiled (omniscient) lord knows all, sees all. The unveiled (omniscient) lord knows entire space in all directions sees entire space in all directions. The unveiled (omniscient) lord knows entire time' (past, present and future), sees entire time'. The unveiled (omniscient) lord knows all modes, sees all modes. Infinite is the knowledge of the unveiled (omniscient) lord, infinite is the intuition of the unveiled lord. Uncovered is the knowledge of the unveiled (omniscient) lord, uncovered in the intuition of the unveiled lord. Gautama! it is from this standpoint that has it indeed been said that unveiled (omniscient) lord does not know through sensory media, he does not see through sensory media.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 108-109
The main source of our knowledge is our senses. The external world is of the nature of touch, taste, smell, colour and sound, which can be known only through the senses; so we are only familiar with both-the sensory knowledge and the external world known through it, but not with the super-sensory knowledge and the world revealed in it.
The super-sensory knowledge has three varieties—clairvoyance, mind-reading and omniscience. The person possessed of super-sensory knowledge directly knows the objects. He does not need the services of the sensory media. Sensory knowledge is veiled, whereas the omniscience is absolutely unveiled and as such the latter knows both the finite and the infinite world. Omniscience has been propounded from four standpoints, viz.,
(i) Substance-e.g., the proposition savvam jānai. (ii) Space—e.g., the proposition savvao jäņai. (iii) Time-e.g., the proposition savvakālam jänai.
(iv) Modes-e.g., the proposition savvabhäve jāņai.! In the Tattārtharājavārtika and Dhavalā, the question is posed that if the omniscient does not have the sensory instruments, why has he been designated as

possessed of "five senses." The reply given is that his five senses are inactive or defunct, because the omniscient does not need their utilization. Omniscience and the senses can not function simultaneously.? Semantics ādana - the word ādāna has many meanings such as-karmika inflow, possessions, etc.. Because etymologically the word means 'grasping of anything', 'grasping' here means the knowledge of the objects', ādāna stands for the external media such as the sense-organs, other instruments, etc.? mitam, amitam --- The scope of the sensory organs is finite, while that of omniscience is infinite. By the sensory-organs or any instruments, the infinite substance, space, time and mode cannot be comprehended. It is only the omniscience that can know the infinite substance, space, time and mode.

Gautama! the limbs of the unveiled (omniscient) lord are in flux, because of the substance of the limbs are in flux due to the release of activity on account of the elimination (kşaya) of the energy-obstructing karma. On account of the flux of his limbs, it is not possible for the unveiled (omniscient) lord to occupy in future the same space-points by his hands, feet, arms and thighs that were occupied by the limbs-hands, legs, arms or thighs.

1. Sūtras 110-111
In the present dialogue, knowledge has been distinguished from energy. In the unveiled (omniscient) lord, there are infinite knowledge and infinite energy. The body is the medium of the expression of energy. Energy arises from body. From energy arises activity of mind, speech and body.' When the unveiled (omniscient) lord places his hands, feets etc. on the ākāśa-pradeśas (space-points), he knows those space-points, but on account of energy, activity and material flux he can not put his hands, feets, etc. on those very space-points. Heraclitus propounded the doctrine of flux. He said "Into the same river we go down and we do not go down, for into same river no man can enter twice, ever it flows in and flows out." Of course this explains the flux of the stream. But in the present dialogue, the flux of the body has been explained. Semantics vīriya-sajoga-saddavvayāe-Abhayadevasūri gives three meanings of this compound-(i) the existing substance of soul, (ii) own substance, (ii) connected with the clusters of mind etc..?
In the discussion of bondage of gross body, we find the compound vīriyasajoga-saddavvayāe. Here, Abhayadevasūri has explained dravya as matter of a special kind. In the present context it will be proper to explaine dravya as matter. In the Tattārtha Bhāsya, we find compound apāyasadravyatayā. Siddhasenaganī

acquired power to produce and exhibit infinite objects by dint of what is called utkārikā-bheda. He has attained this power, which is at his disposal. It is for this reason, O Gautama! it has been said that the monk, possessed of the knowledge of fourteen pūrvas, is capable of producing and exhibiting a thousand jars out of a single jar, a thousand pieces of clothes out of a single cloth, a thousand mats out of a single mat, a thousand chariots out of a single chariot, a thousand umbrellas out of a single umbrella and a thousand wands out of a single wand.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 112-113
In the present dialogue, the doctrine of the power of producing thousand of similar objects from a single object has been propounded. This doctrine is called utkārika (utkārika-bheda).' In the Pannavaņā, five varieties of splitting up has been mentioned (1) khandabheda (breaking into pieces) (2] pratara bheda (separation into layers) [3] cūrņikā bheda (pounding) (4) anutaţikā bheda (left as on the muddy bottom of a pond (5) utkarikā bheda (splitting). It is like the release of caster seeds from the pod like different cluster of atoms release from a single cluster of atom.?
The process of utkarikā-bheda is known to the monk with the knowledge of fourteen pūrvas through his srutajñāna. By means of that process, the accomplished monk can produce many similar objects from a single object.
Patañjali has described eight supernormal powers, viz., [1] subtle body (animā) [2] light body (laghimā) [3] huge body (mahimā) [4) touching anything at any distance (prāpti) [5] walking at will (prākāmya) [6] subjugating all creatures [7] lordship of all creatures [8] yatrakāmāvasāyitva." Isitrtva is capable of the creation, destruction and configuration of the material entities. The accusation of the super normal power animā etc. is possible by conquering by material element. The process of the material elements is given in the sūtra sthülasvarūpasūksmūnvayarthavattvasamyamād bhūtajayah. Semantics Labdha ---the clusters of atoms spliting up are known. Patta (prāpta) - grasped. Abhisamanvāgata -- their transformation jar etc..

- 255 - For what reason, O Lord! has it been said that the infernals experience corresponding feeling as well as non-corresponding feeling? Gautama! the infernals who experience feeling that is corresponding to the karma that they bound experience corresponding feeling. Infernals who do not experience feeling that is corresponding to the karma that they bound experience non-corresponding feeling. For this reason it
was said so. 5.121 evam jāva vemāniyā. Similar description O Lord! ...... up to the Empyrean (Vaimāņika) gods.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 116-121
According to the Jain doctrine of karma, the experiencing of the feeling is both evambhūta and anevambhūta, i.e., corresponding and non-corresponding to the karma bound in the past. In the former case, the feeling is in agreement with the type of karma that was bound in the past, while in the latter case, one experiences quite a different feeling which is contradictory to the karma that was bound in the past. Abhayadevasūri has scrutinized the doctrine of the experiencing of corresponding feeling. According to him, the life-span-determining karma that was to be experienced for a long time can be cut short. Untimely death is a commonplace occurrence known to all. If untimely premature death is not accepted, then the death of millions of human beings in great war will remain unexplained.' He has given scriptural evidence for the experience of non-corresponding feeling. According to him, the scripture propounds the reduction of the duration and intensity of the fruition of the karma?
Here heretics stand for the followers of Buddhism", according to whom the experience of feeling is always corresponding.

Thus the living beings bind auspicious long life-span-determining karma.
Bhāṣya
1. Sūtras 124-127
The karma-doctrinal view on the binding of the life-span karma has been given in the Bha. Sataka 8, sutras 425-428, according to which causing injury to life has been stated as the cause of binding of infernal life-span, and making false statement as the cause of binding of sub-human life-span. There is no mention of offering food etc. in those sutras.
In the present dialogue, there is no clear mention of the meaning of short lifespan and long life-span, The long life-span of despicable life-form would not be auspicious; short life-span is better. Short life-span of laudable life is not desirable. Long life-span is agreeable. One, indulging in causing injury to life, making false statement and offering prohibited articles to the ascetics, can not bind human and celestial life-spans.' There is no short life-span in infernal life-form. In subhuman life-form, the life-span is short, so the mention of short life-span in the present dialogue should refer to the life-span of subhuman beings.
Inauspicious long life-span is possible in all the four life-forms. Auspicious long life-span is possible in three life-forms, excepting the infernal life-form.
This whole dialogue is available in Thanam also.2
In the present dialogue, there is mention of short life-span on account of offering prohibited and unaccepted food etc. to the ascetics, and in Bhagavati 8.246, it is said that there is nirjarā (falling away of karma) on account of offering prohibited and unacceptable food. This apparent self-contradiction deserves scrutiny.

Of the buyer, all those urges become lighter.
Bhāșya 1. Sūtras 128-132
In the present dialogue, there are five sūtras about urges (kriyās). (See also the Bhāșya on kriyā in Bha. 1.276-286). Here, these urges have been comparatively explained, according to their relative intensity and mildness. In the householder (seller), the first four urges occur necessarily; the urge promoting deluded view occurs only in a person possessed of deluded view, but not in one with enlightened world-view; hence, its occurrence has been said to be problematical.
The five urges are:[1] ārambhiyā kiriyā--the urge that results in harming living being and
damaging the environment.' [2] pārigahiyā kiriyā—the urge of possessive clinging for earning and
preserving money, [3] mayāvattiyā kiriyā—the urge that promotes deceitfulness. [4] apaccakhānakiriyā—the urge harbouring passions and possessions, and
not renouncing them. (5) micchūdamsanavattiyā kiriyā—the urge that promotes deluded view.
All these urges and activities lead to the influx (and consequential bondage) of karma. The urge becomes intense or mild (light) in proportion to the intensity or mildness of the passions, as Umāsvati has elaborately explained
"tīvramandajñātājñātabhāvavīryādhikaranaviseșebhyastadviseșah.”
Page #286
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
~: 262
Bhagavai 5:6:128-133
"The nature of karmika bondage caused by influx varies according to the particular physical and psychological conditions of the subject, which are: high or low intensity of the passions, whether the act is done knowingly or unknowingly, the enthusiasm (energy) with which the act is done and the instrument used in the act."3
The present dialogue can be sited as exposition of the above aphorism of
Umäsvati.
The first sutra-a householder is in search of his stolen goods. At that time, the first four urges become more intense in him. When he recovers the stolen goods, his impulses become mild (lighter). At the time of searching, the endeavour is excessive. On the recovery of the goods, the endeavour ceases, so those impulses become light.
The second sutra-the buyer has not got the bought object. So his four urges about the goods are mild. The goods under sale are still under the possession of the seller, so his four urges are strong.
The third sutra-the buyer has taken delivery of the purchased goods, so his four impulses are strong, but four urges of the seller have become light.
The fourth sutra-the buyer has made an agreement to purchase the goods, but has not made payment to the seller. Under such circumstance, the four urges of the seller are mild. At the movement the price (money) is under the possession of the buyer, so his four urges are strong.
The fifth sutra-the seller has got the price of the goods from the buyer. Under such circumstance, the four urges of the seller are strong. The buyer has no right on the money (price), so his four urges are mild.
The implication of the present dialogue is that the urges of the person in possession of the goods and the money are strong. The person not in possession of the goods and the money has mild urges.

The fire-bodied (soul)' just produced (ablaze) has great karma, great urges, great karmic inflow and great pain; afterwards every moment it becomes. milder and milder and finally turns into burning charcoal, burning chaff and ashes; does, O Lord! after this, it (the fire-bodied soul) become one with light karma, light urges, light karmic inflow and light pain? Yes Gautama! the fire-bodied (soul) indeed, just ablaze, has great karma .up to after becoming milder, it does become one with light pain.
Bhāṣya
1. Sütra 133
In the present Satra, two stages of fire have been propounded. In the just lit fire, the power of burning is great. In the extinguishing fire, the power is mild. In the just lit fire, the function of burning (cumbstion) is great, so the karmika bondage and the karmika influx are also great. All these are mild in an extinguishing fire. The intensity of karmika bondage and influx of karmika flow are also great. In the state of intensely burning fire, the pain created by the mutual friction of the bodies of the fire-bodied beings is also great. All these are mild in an extinguishing fire. The intensity of karmika bondage and influx has been surmised to be due to the intensity of burning. On the reduction of the act of burning, all other acts automatically become scanty.
The Vṛtti, in connection with burning charcoal and burning chaff, has explained alpa (mild) as few (stoka); the ashes is lifeless, so in connection with ashes, alpa (mild) has been explained as non-existent i.e. nil.1

The Topic of the Kriyas (Urges) in Darting of the Arrow
A person,' O Lord! picks up a bow, and having picked up, he picks up an arrow; having picked up the arrow, he takes position (in the warrior's posture called Vaisakha); taking the position, he pulls the arrow up to his ear and shoots the arrow in the sky.
Then that arrow, shot up in the sky, injures, upturns, hurts, destroys, scratches, torments, damages, displaces, and deprives of life whatever animates, living beings, souls and living entities are there. By such act, O Lord! by how many kriyas (urges) does a person is touched?
Gautama! when the person picks up the bow, picks up the arrow, takes...... pulls the arrow up to his ear, and shoots the arrow up in the sky, he indulges in the five kriyas (urges) viz., the urges quâ bodily activity (kāyiki), act of violence or use of weapon (adhikaranikī) malice (prädveşiki), inflicting pain (pāritāpaniki) and killing (prāṇātipātikī).
Also those souls with whose bodies the bow has been manufactured, are touched (involved) by the same five urges. Similarly, those souls with whose bodies the bow-stick, the bow-string, the sinews and the arrow are manufactured are touched by the same five urges. Also those souls with whose bodies the shaft (of the arrow), the feathers (of the arrow), the head (of the arrow), and the sinews (of the arrow) are manufactured are touched with the same five urges.
Bhagavar 5:6:134-135
5.135 aha nam se usu appano guruttãe, bhāriyattãe, gurusambhäriyattäe ahe visasde paccovayamāne jäim tattha päṇāim jāva jīviyāo vavarovei tavam ca nam se purise katikirie?
goyama! jāvam ca nam se usů appano guruyattãe jāva jīviyão vavarovei tavam ca nam se purise käiyäe jäva cauhim kiriyahim putthe. jesim pi ya nam jīvāṇam sarirehim dhaṇā nivvattie te vi jīvā cauhim kiriyahim, dhanupaṇhe cauhim, jīvā cauhim, nhäru cauhim, usu pamcahim-sare, pattane, phale, nhāru pamcahi. je vi ya se jivä ahe paccovayamāṇassa uvaggahe vaṭṭamti te vi ya nam jīvā kāiyāe jāva pamcahim kiriyāhim putthā.
Now, when the arrow, due to its own gravity, its heaviness and its gravitational heaviness, starts falling downward by its own nature, injures, upturns deprive of life whatever animates (5.134) up to living entities are there, by how many urges does the person is touched?
Gautama! when the arrow, due to its own gravity ...... up to living entities there, that person is touched by four urges viz., käyiki ...... up to päritäpaniki. And also those souls, with whose bodies the bow has been manufactured, are touched with four urges, the bow-stick by four, the string by four, the sinews by four, the arrow, shaft, feathers, head and sinew by five. And the souls that become the support of the falling arrow also are touched by five urges, viz., käyiki and the like.

Bhagavai 5:6:134-135
Bhāṣya
1. Sütras 134-135
It is understandable that a person who tortures and kills living beings by throwing his arrow is touched by five kriyas (urges), but it is difficult to understand why those souls with whose body the bow, the string etc. are manufactured are also touched by the five urges.
~: 265:~
The Vṛtti has raised the question that if karmika bondage is possible even by the body which had been left by the soul after the death, why should not there be bondage by the bodies of emancipated souls, for their body can be used as an instrument (weapon) for killing living beings. Just as the body of the bow etc. becomes the cause of the urges, so also the utensils etc. made of the body of the vegetation soul may serve as instrument for protecting living beings; hence, they should be admitted as the cause of auspicious karmika bondage. The resolution of such problem (as given by the Vṛtti itself is that the karmika bondage is due to the disposition of non-abstinence. As there is an innate disposition of non-abstinence in man, so it is also in those souls by whose body the bow etc. are manufactured. In the emancipated souls there is absence of such disposition of non-abstinence; so, if the killing is due to their body, there does not occur the karmika bondage to them. There is no power of discrimination leading to auspicious bondage in those souls with whose bodies the utensils etc. are manufactured; so, there can not be auspicious bondage in those souls. The Vṛtti has finally shown the subject as amenable only by faith.'
This explanation given by the Vṛtti raises some problems that need scrutiny. The disposition of non-abstinence may be equally powerful in the person who throws the arrow and the soul with whose body the bow etc. are made. But the cause of karmika bondage is not only the disposition of non abstinence but the body and mind of the person are also responsible for that bondage. Two kinds of the urge quâ bodily action (käyikî kriyā)—käyiki kriya of a non-abstinent person and that of a person indulging in evil bodily action are propounded. The former is related with the disposition of non-abstinence. The physical activity of the archer is inauspicious; hence, both types of käyiki kriya are present in him. But there is only the former kind of kayiki kriya in the souls with whose body the arrow is made, while the latter one is not available in them. The remaining urges are also there in those souls, because they have not taken the vow of desisting from causing torture (paritapa) etc. Both mind and body of the archer are engaged in causing torture (paritapa) etc., so both his non-abstinence and inauspicious activities are responsible for the urges of all five types.
The urge quâ non-abstinence is not only there in the souls with whose body the bow etc. are made, but is present also in those souls with whose bodies the bow etc. are not made. Why then the urges are mentioned only with reference to the particular soul with whose body the bow has been made?
There are two possibilities in the resolution to this problem. The first possibility
Page #290
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
- 266 :
Bhagavai 5:6:134-135
is the doctrine that those souls who have not taken the vow of desisting from injury to life, etc. are subject to the effect of disposition of non-abstinence, and on account of that they are touched by the four urges. The second possibility is that there is the instinct of possessiveness for their own (past) bodies with which the weapons like bow have been manufactured; that instinct is responsible for those souls being touched with the four urges. Both these possibilities point to the disposition of nonabstinence as the principal cause for the soul being touched by those urges.
When the arrow falls down on account of its own gravity it causes torture and killing of living beings. In the act, the archer has a secondary role, and so he is touched only with four urges; while the souls with whose bodies the bow is manufactured are said to be touched by five urges.

Bhāṣya
1. Sutras 139-146
In the present dialogue, there are four statements about ādhākarma (acceptance of the food etc. prepared for the monk):
[1] The mental conception that the ädhäkarma food etc. is immaculate. [2] To consume the adhakarma food etc. considering it as immaculate. [3] Considering that adhakarma food etc. to indulge in mutual distribution of such food.
[4] To propound to the masses the idea that the ädhäkarma is immaculate. To indulge in these four blemishes and not to confess and retrace from them is
virādhanā.
These statements are concerned with monastic conduct. Acceptance of food is an important item in monastic life. Lord Mahāvīra prescribed acceptance of immaculate food for the monk. To consider a blameworthy food as blameless is a perverse attitude. To partake of blameworthy food and distribute it mutually among other monks is transgressing the monastic discipline. To propound the blameworthy food as blemeless is but a propagation of wrong ethical concept.
In the canonical texts, there are many classification of blemishes of accepting foods. See the list given below:

After how many births, O Lord! the Acāryas and Upädhyāyas who tirelessly contribute to the development of the religious order in the form of augmenting the strenghth and supporting (them in their sādhanā) by means of fulfilling their assignments (of teaching the purport and the text of the canons respectively) get liberated ...... up to and put end to all sufferings? Gautama! some (ācāryas and upādhyāyas) get liberated in the very same birth, while some in the next birth, but in no case they cross the limit of the third birth-definitely get liberated in the third birth.
Bhāsya
1. Sutra 147
The ācārya-cum-upādhyāya who augments and supports the religious order make immense nirjarā (wearing off of the karma); hence, he attains the liberation soon. There are three alternatives with regard to the limit of number of births he will have to take:
1. Attainment of liberation in the same birth.
2. Attainment of liberation in the second birth. Here second birth means actually the third birth. For the intermediate birth in heaven is not considered.
3. Attainment of liberation in the third birth. It implies the fifth birth. Semantics āyariya-uvajjhāya (ācārya-upādhyāya)-Acārya-cum-upādhyāya.? It means he is the same person. He performs the work of both-the ācārya and the upādhyāya. In the Vyavahāra Sūtra, the minimum tenure of monkhood eligible for becoming upādhyāya is three years, and that for becoming ācārya is five years. sarisaya (svavişaya)--The ācārya is specially assigned with the work of teaching the meaning and purport of the canonical literature, while the upādhyāya is supposed to teach the canonical texts themselves. agalāe (aglanā)—Tirelessly, i.e. without feeling any kind of exhaustion or ennui.

One who delibeately makes false fanciful allegations on another person binds like types of karma. He undergoes the fruition of those karma where he is born; afterwards, he wears them off.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 148
A law of the doctrine of karma has been propounded in the present Sūtra. The law is: The bondage of karma is akin to the action and so is its effect (fruition). One who deliberately makes false allegation is himself meted out with false allegation in future. There is an echo of the proverb, viz., "what you sow, so shall you reap." There are two ways of purging of karma--
1. Expiation
2. Undergo its fruition. Here, however, only the former is described. Semantics alika—false. asadbhūta—to create fanciful allegation. E.g., to call a non-thief a thief. abhyākhyāna-make (false) allegation; to make public the faults of others (falsely). abhyākhyāti—to deliberately make (false) allegation. abhisanāgacchati-takes birth (at).

Does a material cluster of four pradeśas (i.e., consisting of four paramāņus) undergo simple vibrations?
O Gautama! under certain condition, it undergoes simple vibrations; under other condition, it does not undergo simple vibrations. Under certain condition, a part of it undergoes simple vibrations, another part (anyone of the remaining parts) does not. Under certain condition, a part of it undergoes simple vibrations, other parts do not. Under certain condition, some parts undergo simple vibrations, the (remaining) part does not.
Under certain condition, some (two) parts undergo simple vibrations, other (two) parts do not.
The description of the material cluster of five pradesas (ie., consisting of five paramāņus) up to cluster of infinite number of pradeśas (ie., consisting of infinite number of paramāņus) follows the same pattern as that of the cluster of four paramāņus.
Bhāṣya
1. Sutras 150-153
According to the Jain philosophy, there are only two substances capable of motion, viz., soul and matter. Therefore, vibrations and oscillations are possible only in these two substances. The vibrations in soul are described in Bhag. 3/143148.
The paramanu (ultimate atom) is the smallest unit of matter which has been described in Bha. 20.26, according to which, in a paramānu, there are one colour, one smell, one taste and two touches, viz.,
1. cold and viscous
or 2. cold and dry
or 3. hot and viscous or 4. hot and dry.
A skandha (material cluster) is made by the integration of two or more ultimate paramāņus. The number of pradeśas (indivisible parts) in a cluster is equal to the number of paramanu it consists of. Combination of two paramāņus makes a dyad (cluster of two pradeśas (consisting of two paramāņu), of three paramāņus makes a triad up to combination of infinite number of paramāņus makes a material cluster (made up) of infinite number of paramaņus. The parumāņu is the ultimate cause of the material cluster. In the Nayacakra, the paramāņu has been described both as a cause and an effect. The cluster is produced by the combination of paramānus, and as such the latter is the 'cause' of the former. On the disintegration of the cluster, the paramāņu assumes its own form; so, paramāņu is the effect of the cluster.2
Page #301
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 5:7:150-153
~: 277 :~
The Ta.Su. mentions disintegration as the cause of paramāņu. The cluster is the product of both disintegration and integration.
On the disintegration of the cluster of four paramāņus, two clusters-each of two paramāņus (dyads)--are produced. These clusters are produced due to disintegration. The combination of four paramāņus gives rise to a cluster of four paramāņus. This cluster is produced due to integration. In the state of cluster, the paramāņu is technically called pradeśa (indivisible part).
"Under certain condition, the paramāņu undergoes simple vibrations etc. and under other condition, it does not"-this is a relative (conditional) proposition. There is an uninterrupted process of origination and cessation, which is related with the intrinsic mode of a substance. The processes of simple vibrations etc. are a kind of specific transformation. The transformation of paramāņu into cluster is only due to the activities like special vibrations, etc. This is explained in the dialogue of the third Sataka," in which it is propounded that the person, involved in the activities of simple vibrations etc., indulges in committing and intending to commit injury to life. A person free from the activities of simple vibrations etc., does not undergo varied transformation, and hence, does not indulge in committing and intending to commit injury to life.
The same rule applies to the ultimate paramāņu and cluster-if they undergo the processes of simple vibrations, etc. then they get transformed into varied states. (tam tam bhavam pariņamai). In the absence of those processes, they are not liable to transformation into various states." The rules of transformation of paramānu and clusters are given in surra 179 of this Sataka (i.c. Sataka V).
The doctrine of anekantavāda or syadvada is a cardinal feature of Jainism. The expression siya (under certain condition) is syat in Sanskrit, which has many implications, viz., doubt, in some respect, at some times, multiple aspects, etc." According to Nyayacakra, the expression syar discards the absolutistic attitude and approves of relativistic approach.' Abhayadevasuri, here, explains syat as kadacit (at 'some times'). According to him, in paramāņu and clusters, the processes of simple vibrations etc. take place only occassionally.
The possible alternatives in paramāņu and clusters are:
1. There are two alternatives in a single paramāņu
(i) under certain condition, there is simple vibration in it; (ii) under certain condition, there is no simple vibration in it.
2. There are three alternatives in a cluster of two pradesas (consisting of two paramāņus) (dyad)
(i) under certain condition, there is simple vibration;
(ii) under certain condition there is no simple vibration,
(iii) under certain condition, there is simple vibration in a part and there is no simple vibration in the other part.
3. There are five alternatives in a cluster of three pradeśas (consisting of three paramāņus) (triad)

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 154-159
In the Anuyogadärāim, two kinds of paramāņus have been mentioned: subtle (transcendental) and empirical.' The empirical paramānu is a cluster of infinite number of subtle paramānus. Precisely speaking, it is a cluster made of infinite number of paramāņu.? From the empirical point of view, it is called an empirical paramānu.The same properties that have been assigned to the paramāņu have been given in the case of a cluster of innumerable number of pradeśas. There are, however, two alternatives in the case of a clusters made of infinite number of pradeśas; some of them can be pierced and cut by the edge of the sword, some can not be. The reason is that those clusters which are grossly formed can be pierced and cut by the edge of a sword, but those with subtle form can not be. The empirical paramānu is a cluster of infinite number of paramāņu which are capable of undergoing subtle transformation. According to the Anuyogadārāim, it can not be pierced and cut by the edge of the sword."
In modern science, in earlier period, there was an opinion that the division of atom was not possible, but now the atom has been disintegrated. According to Jainism, the atom accepted in science is a cluster made of infinite number of paramāņus (ultimate atoms). Even an empirical atom can not be broken by instrument. Here a question arises: in the canonical literature, it has been said that a paramäņu can not be pierced and cut by the edge of sword. The edge of the sword however, is very gross, so it is true that a atom can not be divided by it. But modern science has developed very subtle instruments. It seems possible to disintegrate the empirical paramāņu by such instrument.

Bhāṣya
1. Sutras 160-164
The paramaņu in its ultimate state, remains alone and a solitary unit. In its independent state, it is a single point, devoid of any further division. It is transformed as a part of a cluster when it is associated with other paramāṇul paramāņus.
"A paramanu is partless"this statement is with reference to the paramāņu as a substance. With reference to time and modes (properties), it can also be possessed of parts.' In the present canon, four types of paramāņus have been distinguishedparamāņu as a substance, paramāņu as space, paramāņu as time, and paramāņu as mode (property). According to Siddhasenagaṇī, paramāņu as mode (property) is possessed of parts, but paramāņu as substance is partless. A paramanu is possessed of one taste, one smell, one colour and two kinds of touch." A particular colour of a paramāņu can vary in quantity (intensity). Sometime the colour is, say, one unit black, sometime two units black, upto sometime numerable units black, sometime innumerable units black and sometime infinite units black. There are similar variations in the intensity of smell, taste and touch. With reference to this variation, an paramāņu is said to be possessed of many "parts"; precisely speaking, they are modes. That which is partless necessarily can not be halved, nor can it have a middle (point).
A cluster of an even number of pradeśas, i.e. indivisible parts, can be halved, but has no middle (point), whereas a cluster with an odd number of pradesas can not be halved, but has middle. The clusters of numerable, innumerable and infinite number of pradešas are of both the types-possessed of even number and odd number of pradeśas.
According to Thaṇam, a paramāņu is impenetrable, incombustible, imperceptible, can not be halved, has no middle (point), is partless and indivisible."

Bhagavai 5:7:165-168 Just as a cluster of three paramāņus was made to touch a cluster of three paramāņus, so it should be related to a cluster of four ..... up to infinite number of paramāņus atoms. The same description as in the case of a cluster of three paramāņus touching others holds good in the cage of a cluster of four.... up to infinite number of paramāņus.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 165-168
To the query whether when a paramānu (ultimate atom) touches another one, the touch takes place between whole and whole or between a part and a part, there arise nine alternatives, of which the first eight were stated impossible by Lord Mahāvīra; only one—the ninth one was stated possible. The reason is that the paramānu is partless, so a paramāņu touches another one completely.' It is not possible to imagine contact between a part and parts.
The nine alternatives are given in the following table
By a part (1-3) By parts (4-6) By the whole (7-9)
A part
Parts The whole
A part
Parts The whole
A part Parts
The whole
The Vrtti has raised a question--"If a paramāņu touches another parumāņu as a whole touching the whole, then two paramāņus will transform into unitary entity. Thus no combination of paramāņu will result in any composite entity (cluster) like a jar." The answer is that
(1) When two paramānus join each other, they do not join half-and-half. There is simply addition of (1+1), not identification of one with another. The identification of the paramānu will make the creation of a cluster (say a jar) impossible. But the addition rebuts that possibility, i.e. absence of creation of a new entity.
(2) When a paramāņu touches a cluster of two paramānus, there are two alternatives-(1) a part by the whole and (2) a part by the part. When the cluster of two paramāņus occupies two ākāśa-pradeśas (space-points), the paramāņu as a whole touches a part of the cluster of two paramāņus; but when the cluster of two paramūnus transforms itself into a subtler entity capable of occupying a single space-point, and then the contact is between the whole and the whole.
(3) When a paramānu touches a cluster of three paramānus, there are three alternatives—
(1) the whole touching a part (2) the whole touching two parts
(3) the whole touching the whole. Explanation:

(i) When the cluster of three paramāņus occupies three space-points, then the paramāņu as a whole touches one part of the cluster.
(ii) When two pradeśas of the cluster of three paramanus occupy one spacepoint, and the remaining pradešas occupy another space-point, then the alternative--the whole touching two parts becomes applicable-i.c., the paramāņu as a whole touches two parts of the cluster in the form of two paramāņus occupying one space-point.
(iii) When due to subtlety of transformation, the cluster of three paramaņus occupies a single space-point, then the alternative of the whole touching the whole becomes possible.
A cluster of three pradeśas (paramāņus) is a single composite entity; hence two paramāņus of it occupying a single space-point can be regarded as two parts of it. A cluster of two pradeśas (paramāņu) is a single composite entity of two pradesas. Therefore, the alternative of the whole touching the two parts is not possible here, because then it is the whole and not parts.
In other words, a cluster of three pradeśas (paramāņu), is a composite entity of three pradesas, therefore it is possible to touch two parts of the single entity, but as there are only two pradešas in a cluster of two pradeśas (paramāņu), the two pradeśas of which entity should a paramāņu touch? When the two pradesas of a cluster of three pradeśas are touched, there remains one pradesa untouched; so the alternative of 'the whole touching two parts' becomes possible. A Cluster of two pradeśas touching a Paramāņu
When a cluster of two pradeśas (paramāņu) touches a paramāņu, there are two alternatives
(i) the whole by a part
(ii) the whole by the whole
When the cluster of two pradeśas occupies two space-points, it touches the whole paramāņu by its part. But when the cluster of two-pradeśas occupies a single space-point, the alternative of "the whole by the whole' becomes possible. A Cluster of two pradeśas touching a cluster of two pradeśas
When a cluster of two pradesas touches another cluster of two pradesas, four alternatives are possible
(i) When both the clusters occupy two space-points each, then the alternative of 'a part touching a part' becomes possible.
(ii) When a cluster of two pradeśas occupying two space-points touches another cluster of two pradeśas occupying a single space-point, the alternative of 'the part touching the whole' is obtained.
(iii) When a cluster of two pradefas occupying a single space-point touches another cluster of two pradeśas occupying two space-points, the alternative of 'the whole touching a part' is obtained.
(iv) When both the clusters of two pradeśas occupy a single space-point, the alternative of 'the whole touching the whole' is obtained.

Bhāşya 1. Sūtras 169-174
In the present dialogue, some universal laws regarding a material entity have been laid down.
First Law—The law of avasthāna-kāla i.e., duration of paramānu and skandha for remaining in the same state—the material entity (pudgala) has two forms: paramāņu (ultimate atom) and skandha (cluster of ultimate paramāņu). The ultimate paramānu combined together make a cluster. On the disintegration of the cluster, they again become ultimate atoms. This cycle of transformation goes on forever. The maximum duration of an ultimate atom remaining as an ultimate atom is a period of innumerable time. After that it must transform into a cluster. No material entity can endure in the same state for ever. The minimum limit of transformation is very small, viz., one samaya (i.e., the indivisible unit of time). There can be as
Page #314
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bhagavai 5:7:169-174
many varieties of states as there are samayas in the period of inmumerable time.
Second Law-The law of duration of a vibrating and non-vibrating material entities for remaining at a particular space-point/space-points-one samaya in the minimum, innumerableth part of an āvalikā in the maximum.?
Third Law-It is concerned with the duration of the continuity of the units of a quality. Colour, smell, taste and touch are the qualities of a material entity. There are five types of colour, two types of smell, five types of taste and eight types of touch). The black colour is a quality in which there can be infinite number of units. In the present dialogue, the word guna has been used in the sense of gunāmsa (which means units or degrees of the quality, say blackness etc.). The units of the quality in the paramānu of black colour undergoes transformation. Sometimes it has one unit, sometimes two, sometimes three and so on...... up to an infinite number of units of blackness. Each unit of quality is divided again in infinite number of indivisible parts (pariccheda). An entity of one unit of black colour is called black of the lowest grade. When there is increase in an indivisible part, there is transformation respectively of one unit into state of two units, three units, four units etc. The 'unit' in the quality' does not remain constant, it continuously undergoes change. In the present dialogue, the limit of duration of continuity in the same state has been propounded—one samaya in the minimum and the period of innumerable time in the maximum. This law is applicable to all the units of the qualities of colour, smell, taste and touch.
This law is applicable to the material entity with subtle transformation as well as gross transformation.
Fourth Law-It is concerned with the material entities which have been transformed as sound and non-sound.
The law of a paramānu, with vibration and without vibration occupying one space-unit-A material entity can not continue to vibrate for a long time. The duration of its remaining in the state of vibration is one samaya in the minimum and the innumerableth part of an āvalikā in the maximum. A material entity can stay as devoid of vibration for a longer period—one samaya in the minimum and a period of innumerable time in the maximum. In the XXV Sataka of the present canon, the durations of the time of a material entity contuinuing to remain in the state of vibration and devoid of vibration have been stated.

Bhāṣya
1. Sutras 175-180
In the previous dialogue, the laws governing the duration of occupation of space-points by an ultimate atom and the cluster were propounded. In the present dialogue, the laws governing the interval (antara-kāla) are stated. Interval means the lapse of time between the present state of transformation and a similar state in the future. The transformations in the intervening period are different from the previous transformation; for instance, a paramāņu, abandoning its state of paramāņu, transforms in the state of a cluster and again transforms into the state of paramānu. The intervening period here is the time that lapsed during its transformation as the cluster. Similarly a material cluster of two pradesas transforms into clusters of three pradesas etc. and also may transform as an atom and finally reverts to the state of a cluster of two pradeśas. Here the intervening period is technically called the interval of the cluster of two pradeśas. A cluster can pass through many states from the state of the cluster of two pradeśas to the state of the cluster of an infinite number of pradesas. It means that the number of clusters formed during this period is infinite. The maximum duration of each cluster is a period of innumerable time. So the interval (time of lapse) of a cluster of two pradešas (reverting to its orginal state) is a period of infinite time."
The sutras 170-171 give the avasthāna-kāla i.e., the temporal durations of the material entities, with vibration and devoid of vibration, continuing to remain in the same state. Comparing them with their anatara-kāla, it is found that)-The temporal duration of a material entity devoid of vibration is equal to the interval of the material entity with vibration and the temporal duration of a material entity with vibration is equal to the interval of a material entity without vibration. The temporal duration (avasthāna-kāla) of a material entity with one unit of black colour, smell etc. is same as its interval (antara-kāla). See the following table.

The Topic of Mutual Relative Numerical Strength of (the periods of stability of) Paramāņus and Skandhas
"What, O Lord! is the mutual relative numerical strength-less, more, equal or a little more-between the periods of stability of a material entity with respect to (i) the number of paramāņus, (ii) stay at a particular space, (iii) size of space occupied, (iv) modifications?
O Gautama! (i) the least is the period of stability of (a material entity with respect to) its stay at a particular space, (ii) innumerable times of it is the period of stability of (a material entity with respect to) size of space occupied (by it), (iii) innumerable times of it is the period of stability of (a material entity with respect to) the number of paramāņus in (it), (iv) innumerable times of it is the period of stability of (a material entity with respect to) modifications in it.

Bhagavai 5:7:181
-: 295:Summary Verse
The relative numerical strength of the periods of stability of (a material entity with respect to) its stay at a particular space, occupation of space, number of paramāņus and modification is the topic under discussion; the least is the period of stability with respect to stay at a particular) space and the rest are each innumerable times of what precedes.
Bhāşya 1. Sutra 181
In the present Sütra, the relative numerical strength of the periods of stability of a material entity (i.e. an ultimate atom or a cluster) with respect to the number of paramānus in the entity, its stay at a particular space, the size of space occupied by it and the modifications undergone by it.
(1) The period of stability of stay at a particular space-space is non-corporeal and material entity is corporeal; so there is no special bond between them, the result is that a material entity does not stay for long at a particular space. Hence, the period of stability of stay at a particular space is the least.
(2) The size of a material entity can remain constant even inspite of occupying different space at different times. Therefore, the period of stability of the size of space occupied is innumerable times that of the stay at a particular space.
(3) There is possibility of expansion and contraction in a material entity--sometimes it contracts and sometimes it expands, and there is a consequent change in the size of the space occupied, but the number of paramāņus constituting the material entity may remain stable for a longer time. For this reason, the period of stability of the number of paramānus is innumerable times that of the size of the space occupied by the entity.
(4) The number of paramānus in a material entity may undergo change on account of the process of integration and disintegration. In spite of this change, the modes of quality like colour, etc. may not undergo change so quickly. Therefore, the period of stability of modes is innumerable times that of the number of paramānus in the material entity.
Abhayadevasūri has quoted fifteen gāthās for explaining the relative numerical strength, which give the logical justification of their relative numerical strength.

Indulging in injurious activity and possessiveness are the basic urges of the mundane soul. These are available in the infernals, sub-humans, humans and also gods.

injury to the six classes of beings, so they are possessed of the urge to commit injury. In the Thānam, three kinds of possessions are mentioned: body, karma and material possession.
In the present dialogue, all the three kinds of possessions viz., possesiveness of bodies, the Karma and the animate, inanimate and mixed substances are mentioned. The infernal being has all the three kinds of possessions, so he is possessed of the urge of possessiveness. In the Thānam, however, the infernals and one-sensed beings have been described as devoid of the third kind of possession.'
In the present dialogue, the third kind of possession has been divided into two parts—[1] house, seat, bed, utensils etc. [2] animate, inanimate and mixed substances appropriate for being taken as food. The infernal soul utilizes the possession of animate, inanimate and mixed substances, but he has no house, woman, seat, bed etc. For gods, both the types of possessions-abode, seat, bed etc. and animate, inanimate and mixed substances-have been mentioned. See sūtras 184-185.
The one-sensed beings are to be described like the infernals, see sūtra 186.
In the case of infernals and one-sensed beings, the Thānam also accepts that they have the possession of animate, inanimate and mixed substances.? So there is no contradiction between the present dialogue and the Thānam. The two-sensed beings store external objects. They built their own habitat of soil.'

[Introductory Note by English Translators to Sūtras 5.191-198
The topic of hetu (presence of cause) is concerned with the presence of basic causes of worldly existence, which are the urges of aggression and possession, ārambha and parigraha. A person, with enlightened world-view, knows, sees, has insight with right faith and attains the highest knowledge the presence of cause of the worldly existence. But on account of his veil of ignorance, he meets death while realising the presence of cause in him. On the other hand, a person, with deluded world-view, is ignorant of the presence of the aforesaid basic cause of worldly existence, so he does not know, see, etc. and meets the death of an ignorant person.
As distinguished from the above two types of persons viz,, persons of enlightened and deluded world-view, the omniscient soul knows, perceives, etc. the absolute absence of cause of worldly existence in him
The sütras 5.197-198 refer to persons, with veil of ignorance, who have not attained the state of freedom from the basic cause of worldly existence i.e. anārambha and aparigruha, and hence, they do not know and see the absence of basic cause of worldly existence.
They meet their death not realising the absence of the cause of the worldly existence.)

(and ultimately) he meets with the death of veiled (though enlightened) person while realising the presence of cause.

Bhasya
1. Sütras 191-198
In the present dialogue, there are four sutras concerning "presence of cause", and four sutras concerning "absence of cause". The Vṛtti interprets hetu as an invariable means, cause or reason for proving the probandum.' Hetu is a factor of the process of inference. In the Vaisesika philosophy, five synonyms of hetu (cause) are given: hetu, apadesa (statement of the reason), limga (sign), pramāņa (proof) and karana (means). In the present dialogue, the word hetu has been used in three senses, viz., the person adducing the reason, the object known by the reason, and
Page #328
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
- 304 -
Bhagavai 5:7:191-198
reason itself. The person who knows the reason becomes identical with the reason when he adduces the reason. So he is called reason.
Siddhasena Divākara has distinguished two kinds of objects of knowledge on the basis of two varieties of knowledge-objects known by reasoning and objects known independently of reasoning. 4 A reason is adduced in order to know a parokşa (indirectly known) object, so such object is called an object known by reasoning, An object directly known or known by the statement of an authentic source is called an 'object known independently of any reason'.
The sūtras that one knows the reason', and 'one knows through the reason' are with reference to the person of the enlightened world-view'.
(i) A person, with the enlightened world-view, knows the cause along with its effect it-self.
(ii) He knows and sees the object knowable by reason by means of reason.
(iii) A person, with deluded world-view, knows and sees the effect, but does not know and see its cause.
(iv) He does not know and see the object knowable by reason by means of reason.
(v) The omniscient person knows and sees the object not knowable by reason. He knows and sees the ahetuka parinamana i.e. natural transformation.
(vi) He knows and sees by ahetu, i.e. independently of reasoning, which means omniscience.
(vii) The veiled person can not know and see the objects that are not known by reason through his knowledge attained through annihilation-cum-suppression of jñānāvaranīya karma.
(viii) He does not know and see the object by means of omniscience, i.e. ahetu.
Death is of two kinds- 1. death that occurs on account of some cause and 2. death that occurs without a cause. In the Thānam, seven causes of death, viz., adhyavasāna (primal drives) etc. have been pointed out. Here the effect of the cause has also been designated as cause by metaphorically identifying the cause with the effect.
In the Samavão, seventeen varieties of death have been mentioned which include the death of a veiled as well as unveiled person. Among them there is no mention of ajñānamarana. In the Bhagavatī, Mālārādhanā® and Uttarādhyayana Niryuktio also there is no mention of such death among the classification of death.
In the present dialogue, ajñanamarana should mean the death due to intensity of emotions like attachment and hatred. So the ajñānamarana has been said to be sahetuka. The death of a veiled person may be sahetuka as well as ahetuka. In the omniscient, there are no emotions of attachment and hatred, so their death is ahetuka.
In the Sūtra under discussion, five kinds of hetu and ahetu have been mentioned. Among them four are related to knowledge and the fifth to 'death'. The meaning of
Page #329
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 5:7:191-198
- 305
“knows and sees" is clear, but the meanings of budhyate and abhisamāgacchati need clarifications. The expression budhyate refers to bodhi (enlightenment) which is related to knowledge, right world-view and conduct. 0
The world abhisamāgucchati is related to attainment and contentment. After attaining enlightenment, the veiled person acquires the hetu, and attains the results viz., hāna (avoidance), upādanā (aceptance) and mādhyastha (neutrality). The omniscient comprehends ahetu and attains the pure neutrality.
The implication of the present dialogue is: substances are of two kinds: corporeal and non-corporeal. The corporeal substance is known by reasoning. The non-corporeal substance can not be known by reasoning. It is known and seen by omniscient independently of reasoning. By the term hetu in the accusative case, two varieties of substances are indicated. By the word hetu in the instrumental case two varieties of knowledge are indicated. See-Thānam, 7.75-82; see also notes on them, pp.623,624.
(A note by English Translators--In the above exposition of meaning of hetu as a term of logic, we have strictly followed the Vrtti. The author of the Vrtti however is not pleased with his own exposition and he invokes the exposition of the topic by Acāryas superior to himself and more familiar with the Agamas. In fact, the sudden introduction of a logical term appears strange. The reference to death in the Sūtra is enigmatic. It perhaps refers to the discipline of ārādhanā and its opposite virādhanā. All these points lead us to interpret hetu as hetu (cause) of worldly existence, the āśrvas, specifically ārambha and parigraha. In the Ayāro (3.78), we find samjoga which is equivalent of aśrava as a cause of dukkha.
In the present Sūtras, what appears to be most plausible is the interpretation of the word hetu as the root cause of dukkha.
The opposite of hetu is ahetu i.e. an aśrava or absence of ārambha and parigraha which may be identified with kaivalya. A kevali is so called because there is absolute absence of ārambha and parigraha and at the 14th stage, he is a kevalī who is free from all āśravas.
The kevali knows, sees, etc. He is absolutely free from ārambha and parigraha. In that sense, he knows that he is ahetu. This can be compared with the Buddhist conception of bodhi as-kṣayānutpādu-jñāne bodhi—“Bodhi consists in two knowledge, viz., that one's āśravas have been destroyed (kşaya-jñāna), and also that the āśravas will never arise again. In this respect, the kaivalya of Jainism comes very near to this concept of bodhi in Buddhism).

In' that age, at that time, the ascetic, named Narayaputta, who was a disciple of ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, was gentle by nature, tranquil by nature, with attenuated anger, pride, deceit and greed by nature, endowed with softness and modesty, disciplined and humble. He was seated there, neither too far nor too near the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, with his knees erect and head bent, engrossed in meditation cell, sublimating on the self by means of restraint and austerity. In that age, at that time, the ascetic, named Niyamthiputta, who was a disciple of ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, was gentle by nature ..... up to restraint and austerity. Then the ascetic Niyamthiputta reached the place of the ascetic Nārayaputta; having reached there, he addressed the Nārayaputta thus: 0 noble one! have all the material entities their halves, have they their middle, have they their pradeśas: or are they not capable of halved, are they without middle, are they without pradeśas? The ascetic Nārayaputta spoke to the ascetic Niyamthiputta thus : O noble one! all the material entities have the halves, have middle, have pradeśa; they are not incapable of being halved, they are not without middle, they
are not without pradeśas. 5.202 tae nam se niyamthiputte anagāre nărayaputtam anagāram evam vayasi-jai

The ascetic Niyamthiputta told the Narayaputta thus: O noble one! if all the material entities with reference to the substance have halves, have middle, have pradesas, are not without halves, are not without middle, are not without pradesas, then, in your opinion, a material atom also has halves, has middle, has pradesas, is not without halves, is not without middle, is not without pradeśas.
O noble one! if even with reference to the space all material entities are with halves, with middle, with pradeśas (not without halves, not without middle, not without pradeśas), then in your opinion a material entity even though occupying one pradeśa is with halves, with middle, with pradeśas (not without halves, not without middle, not without pradesas).
O noble one! if with reference to time, all material entities are with halves, with middle and with pradesas, (not without halves, not without pradesas), then in this way, in your opinion, even a material entity of the duration of one time-unit will be with halves, with middle and with pradesas (not without halves, not without middle and not without pradeśas).
O noble one! if with reference to mode, all material entities are with halves, with middle, with pradeśas (not without halves, not without middle, not without pradesas), then, in this way, in your opinion, even a material entity of one unit of black colour will be with halves, with middle and with pradeśas (not without halves, not without middle and not without pradeśas). If, in your opinion, it is not so, then your statement that even with reference to substance, all material entities are with halves, with middle and with pradesas, not without halves, not without middle, not without pradesas; similarly, also with reference to space, time and modes, all material entities are with halves, with middle and with pradeśas, and not without halves, without middle, without pradeśas', is false.

The ascetic Narayaputta told the Niyamthiputta thus: O beloved of the gods! if you have no difficulty to explain this subject to me, then I want to hear from you, O beloved of the gods! this subject and know it definitely.

There is also division with respect to modes—it is sapradeśa in some respect, it is apradeśa in other respect. As from the standpoint of space, it is described as sapradeśa, so from the standpoints of time and modes, also it is described as apradeśa. The material entity which is sapradeśa with reference to substance is, with reference to space, sapradeśa in some respect and apradeśa in other respect.

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 201-207
In Bhagavati 5.160-164, there was a discussion about the topic of a material atom and a material cluster being with halves, with middle and with pradeśa (indivisible part). In the present dialogue, the same subject is considered with reference to the standpoints of substance, space, time and modes
Dravyādeśa (standpoint of substance)—with reference to substance, a paramānu is without pradeśa and the clusters like dvipradesi etc. are sapradeśa.
Kșetrādeśa (the standpoint of space)—with reference to space, a material entity occupying a single ākāśa-pradeśa is apradeśa, and a material entity occupying
Page #336
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
-: 312 :
Bhagavai 5:8:201-207
many ākāśa-pradeśas is sapradeśa.
Kālädeśa (the standpoint of time)--with reference to time, a material entity enduring for one samaya (indivisible time-unit) is apradeśa; a material entity enduring for many samayas is sapradeśa.
Bhāvādeśa (the standpoint of mode)—with reference to mode, a material entity with one unit of colour, smell, taste and touch is apradeśa; a material entity with many units of colour, smell, taste and touch is sapradeśa.
Considered from the standpoint of the transformation, all entities are infinite in numbers.
[1] The Law of being Apradeśa and Sapradeśa with Reference to Substance
[a] What is apradeśa with reference to substance is necessarily apradeśa with reference to space. The reason is that a paramāņu can occupy only one pradeśa of space.
[b] With reference to time, it can be one samaya and also of infinite samayas in duration. So, in some respect it is apradeśa and in another respect it is sapradeśa.
[c] With reference to mode, it can be of one unit of colour etc. and also of many units of colour etc. So in some respect it is apradeśa and in other respect it is sapradeśa.
[2] The Law of being Apradeśa and Sapradeśa with Reference to Space
[a] In a single space-unit, there can be the occupation of one paramānu and also the occupation of clusters of two pradeśas, three pradeśas and so on ...... up to infinite number of pradeśas. So it is in some respect apradeśa and in another respect it is supradeśa.
[bc] The description of time and modes is similar to that of substance. A material entity, occupying one space-unit can be of the duration of one samaya and also of the duration of many samayas.
With reference to modes, it can be of one unit of colour, smell, taste and touch and also of many units of colour, smell, taste and touch. [3,4] The Law of being Apradeśa and Sapradeśa with Reference to Time
and Modes The description of time and modes is like that of space. What is apradeśa with reference to time can be with reference to substance in some respect apradeśa and in another respect sapradeśa. With also reference to space and modes, in some respect it can be apradeśa and in another respect sapradeśa. What is sapradeśa with reference to mode can be with reference to substance, space and time apradeśa in some respect and sapradeśa in some other respect.
[1] The Law of being sapradeśa and apradeśa with Reference to Substance
What is sapradeśa with reference to substance can occupy one space-unit and also many space-units. So with reference to space, in some respect it is apradeśa and in another respect it is sapradeśa.
With reference to time and modes, it can be sapradeśa as well as apradeśa. [2] The Law of being Sapradeśa and Apradeśa with Reference to Space With reference to substance, an apradeśa paramāņu can not occupy two or
Page #337
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bhagavai 5:8:201-208
-: 313 :
more space-units, so what is sapradeśa with reference to space is necessarily sapradeśa with reference to substance. With reference to time and mode, it is in some respect sapradessa and in some respect apradeśa. [3,4] The Law of being Sapradeśa and Apradeśa with Reference to Time
and Mode The description with reference to time and mode is the same as that with reference to substance.
The Relative Numerical Strength of a Sapradeśa and Apradeśa Entity
[1] The material entity of one unit of colour, smell, taste and touch are very few in number. So, with reference to mode, the apradeśa material entities are the least in number.
[2] With reference to time, the material entities of the duration of one samaya are of many transformation of colour, smell, taste, touch, integration, disintegration, subtleness, grossness etc. In every transformation, with reference to the duration of one samaya, they are apradeśa. So, the apradeśa entities with reference to time are innumerable times in comparison with those with reference to modes.?
[3] With reference to substance, a paramāņu is apradeśa. Parumāņus with many units of the qualities of colour etc. are more in number than the paramānus with one unit of the qualities of colour etc. Thus considered the apradeśa entities with reference to the substance are innumerable times more.
The use of the word "pradeśa" is available for the smallest atom-like (indivisible) part, and also in the sense of cluster. A paramāņu attached to a cluster is called pradeśa. The atom-like part of space is called pradeśa. The word pradeśa is used also in the context of time and mode. In the Tattvārtha Sūtra, the use of the word pradeśa has been made in the sense of cluster.

soul is an eternal entity--it was not produced at any time, nor will it cease to existence at any time. Hence, no new soul can emerge nor any existing soul can be destroyed. The number of souls in the universe is constant, there being no increase and decrease in their number.
The 24 groups of living beings such as the infernals etc. are the modes or the special states of the sentient substances, so increase and decrease in their number go on taking place. The constancy of their number is relative, depending on the viraha-kāla, i.e., the interval of time and equation between new arrivals and departures. According to the Pannavanā, the viraha-käla is 12 muhürttas in all the seven infernal lands. During this interval, there is neither new arrival nor departure of infernals.?
The period of the next 12 muhürttas, there is equation between the number of infernals born and infernals dead. Thus, the period of constancy of number of infernals is 24 muhūrttas; there is neither increase nor decrease in number of infernals during this period.
The period of constancy of number of infernal vary from hell to hell as shown below.

The one-sensed beings continue to take birth every samaya, so the viraha-kāla is zero. When one-sensed beings are born in greater number and die in smaller number, then there is increment in their total number. When they die in greater number and are born in smaller number, there is decrease in total number. When the deaths and births are equal in number, there is constancy of number.
In the case of the two-sensed, three-sensed, four-sensed, and coagulated five-sensed beings, the viraha-kāla is one antarmuhūrtta and the period of equation of births and deaths is also one antarmuhurtta; thus, the period of constant number of these beings is two antarmuhurtta.

Bhāṣya
1. Sütras 225-233
In the present dialogue, there are four alternatives about the accumulation and diminution of souls. Accumulation means increase, diminution means decrease. The absence of accumulation and diminution is constancy. What then is the difference between the previous and this dialogue? The author of the Vṛtti has raised this
Page #345
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 5:8:225-234
- 321 :
question and solved the problem. According to him, increase and decrease refer to quantity, whereas upacaya (accumulation) and apacaya (diminution) refer to utpäda and udvartana. So in the third alternative (sopacaya-säpacaya), all the three viz., increase, decrease and constancy are comprised. When there is utpäda of many, there is increase, when there is udvartana of many, there is decrease. And when there is equal utpäda and udvartana, there is constancy.'
The one-sensed beings fall under the third alternative. Among them, there is simultaneous utpāda and udvartana. There is no exclusive utpāda or exclusive udvartana and absence of utpāda and udvartana. So the remaining three alternatives are not applicable to them.?
About all living beings beginning from the two-sensed living beings, the absence of new birth is to be described as in the Pannavanā. This is period of constancy or that of nirupacaya and nirapacaya. In this state both upacaya and apacaya are absent. The souls attain liberation without stop from one samaya...... up to eight samayas. After that there is interval of 'no liberation which is one samaya in the minimum and eight samayas in the maximum.

1. Sūtras 235-236
We get exposition of the nature of city from many angles.
In the present dialogue, a city (Rajagṛha) has been explained metaphysically. A city is not made of any particular substance. It is a combination of many substances. Briefly, it is made of three substances that are animate, inanimate and mixed; elaborately speaking a city is made of a totality of water tanks, palaces, roads, men, animals, birds etc. The question was asked about the Rajagṛha city and in answer Bhagavan Mahāvīra said, "Räjagrha is not the name of a particular substance, but it is a totality of animate, inanimate and mixed substances." For the meaning of tanka, kula etc., see Bhasya on Bha. 5.182-190.

Both light and darkness are special transformations of material entities. The auspicious transformation of material entities is bright. So it is called light. The inauspicious transformation of material entities is gloomy. So it is darkness. In the day, on account of the contact with the sun rays there is auspicious transformation of material entities.' So there is light in the day. In the night, there is absence of the rays of the sun and other luminous objects, so the transformation of material entities at that time is inauspicious.
In the present dialogue, light and darkness have been explained from many points of view. As there is inauspicious transformation of material entities in the hells, there is always darkness there. According to the Vrtti, there is absence of bright objects like the rays of the sun that cause auspicious transformation of the material entities.
It is mentioned in the Pannavanā that there is absence of the orbiting luminous bodies such as sun, planet, moon, star etc., in the infernal earths.
The mansions and vimāmas (abodes) of gods are always bright on account of

There is always darkness for the one-sensed, two-sensed and three-sensed beings, because they have no eyes. The rays of the sun fall on them but on account of they being devoid of the organ of eye, they always experience darkness. There is development of the organ of eye in the four-sensed beings, five-sensed subhumans and humans. They come in contact with sun-light, so they are endowed with light. They undergo the effect of night; hence, they are said to have darkness also.

The division of time is for human beings. It is the human being who describes the limit of the life-spans of the infernals, sub-humans and gods on the basis of his own concept of measurement of time.
Time is of two kinds-metaphysical and practical. The nature of metaphysical time is vartana. This is the characteristic of time given in the Uttaradhyayana Sutra.' In the Tattvärtha Sutra, characteristics of time are given, viz., becoming (vartanā), change (pariņāma), motion (kriyā) the state of being before (paratva) and the state of being after (apartva). Among these vartana and parināma are related to metaphysical time. Kriyä, paratva and aparatva are related with practical time. In the Thanam, the practical time has been described both as jiva and ajīva.'
According to Akalanka, the determination of karma-sthiti, bhavasthiti and käyasthiti (i.c., durations of karma, bhāva and käyä) etc. of all souls is made by samaya, avalika etc. of the human world. The practical time is also the basis of measurement of time-units as the numerable, innumerable and infinite.4

In' that age, at that time, the honourable elderly monks of the order of Pārsva reached the place where the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra was residing. Having reached there, they stood neither too far nor too near from the Lord and said thus: O Lord! in this cosmos of innumerable number of space-points, did infinite number of nights and days occur, they are occurring or will they occur? Have they passed away, they are passing or will they pass-away? Or there occured limited number of nights and days, or are they occurring or will they occur? Have they passed away or are they passing or will they pass away?

For what reason is it so ......... up to will pass away? O Noble Ones! your Predecessor, Arhat Pārsva, the most respectable among men, has described the eternal cosmos as without beginning, without end, finite, encircled by trans-cosmos, expanded at bottom, contracted at middle, and again vastly expanded at the top. It is, at bottom of the configuration of one sitting in the posture of cross-legs; at middle, it is shaped like an excellent vajra (which is thin at the middle); and at the top it is of the shape of a vertically placed drum. In that eternal cosmos which is without beginning, without end, finite, expanded at bottom, contracted at middle, and again vastly expanded at the top, which is, at bottom, of the configuration of one sitting in the posture of cross-legs, at middle shaped like an excellent vajra, and at the top of the shape of a vertically placed drum, infinite number of souls, residing in a common body, each of which is a compact collection of infinite number of modes, are again and again born and die; individual souls occupying separate body, each of which is a compact collection of infinite number of modes, are again and again born and die. That (cosmos) is really

existent, originated, destroyed and transformed; that which is seen and observed (specially) through the transformation of insentient substances (matter, etc.); (etymologically) what is seen (lokkai) and what is observed (palokkai) is the cosmos (loe).
"Yes, O Lord!"
"It is for this reason, O Noble Ones! that it is said that in this cosmos of innumerable number of space-points, there occured infinite number of nights and days...... up to as said before.
Since then, those honourable elderly monks of the order of Pārsva, started recognising the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra as all-knowing and all-intuiting (omniscient).

Then, those honourable elderly monks bow down and pay homage to the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra. Having bowed down and paid homage, they addressed him thus: We wish indeed, O Lord! to be ordained by you in the discipline of five great vows, accompanied with the compulsory performance of reflection upon and recoiling from past bad deeds, in place of the discipline of four restraints (of Lord Parsva).
O beloved of gods! do as is pleasing to you, do not delay.

Then, those honourable elderly monks of the order of Pärśva ordained themselves in the discipline of five great vows, accompanied with the compulsory performance of reflection upon and recoiling from past bad deeds, in place of the discipline of four restraints (of Lord Parsva), they practised it...... up to (as in 1/433); having thus practised the discipline, with their last respiration, they were liberated, tranquillized, freed, emancipated and put an end to all sufferings. Among them, some however were born in heavens.

Bhagavai 5:9:254-257
- 331 :
Bhagavān Mahāvīra belonged to the order (i.e., were followers) of Lord Pārsva.? The order of Pārśva was still prevalent at the time of Bhagavān Mahāvīra. Pārsva's disciples called on Lord Mahāvīra and his disciple Gautama for philosophical discussions on many an occasions:
1. Käläsavesiyaputta of Pārsva's order approached the elders of Mahāvīra's order and discussed the subjects like sāmāyika, etc. with them and ultimately got ordination in the Mahavira's discipline.
2. The Mahāvīra's followers, of the city of Tungiya, held philosophical discussions with the three elders of the order of Parśva, namely, Kalikaputra, Mehila and Anandarakṣita Lord Mahāvīra endorsed the replies of the elders. There is however no mention whether they were ordained in Mahāvīra's discipline.
3. The elders of Pārsva's order pay visit to Lord Mahāvīra and ask him about the infinite number of days and nights in finite cosmos. Lord Mahāvīra solved their queries by quoting the doctrine of Lord Pārśva. They were convinced of the omniscience of Lord Mahāvīra and were ordained in his discipline.
4. An ascetic, named Gāngeya, of the order of Pārsva, goes to the city of Vānijyagrāma and asks the questions about the births and deaths of living beings to which Mahāvīra gives reply. Here also Pārsva's doctrine about the cosmos is quoted. The ascetic, Gāngeya, is convinced of the omniscience of Lord Mahāvīra and gets ordained in his discipline.
5. According to the Nālandijja chapter of Sūyagado, Udaka Pedhāla of Pārsva's order approaches Gautama at Nālandā and elaborately discusses with him the procedure of conferment of vows. After the discussion, he gets ordained in the order of Mahāvīra.?
6. There is a reference in Uttarajjhayanāni to the young ascetic, Keśī, of the Pārsva's order, approaching Gautama Swāmī at Śrāvasti, when a long dialogue takes place between them. Ultimately, the young ascetic, Keśī, gets ordained in the order of Lord Mahāvīra.
From these references to Pārsva's order, it is evident that Pärsva's order was concurrently flourishing even after the omniscience of Lord Mahāvīra. The elderly monks of the Pārsva's order approached Lord Mahāvīra and asked him an intriguing question, "O Lord! whether in the cosmos of finite dimensions, there occur and pass away infinite number of nights and days or do there occur a finite number of nights and days?"
Lord Mahāvīra endorsed both the alternatives. The problem was that the number of nights and days couldn't be both infinite as well as limited in number. The apparent contradiction was resolved by Lord Mahāvīra by pointing out that there were souls with common body and also with personal (uncommon) body.
In a common body, infinite number of souls originated and die, while with the personal body, a limited number of souls originate and die. Time is a soul's mode that is characterised by constancy of duration. In the case of souls with common body, infinite number of days and nights originate and pass away, while in the case of souls of personal body, limited number of nights and days originate and pass

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bhagavai 5:9:254-257
away. Thus, there is no contradiction in the two statements, but they are relatively true. In the cosmos of even innumerable (finite) number of space-points (pradeśas), it is not impossible for infinite number of nights and days to occur or infinite number of souls to exist. Space has the capacity to contain infinite number of souls, and the souls have the capacity to undergo such subtle transformations that an infinite number of souls can occupy the same space of innumerable (finite) space-points.
Bhagavān Mahāvīra, quoting the doctrine of Pārsva, propounded the cosmos with innumerable space-units. The cosmos is a real entity, that originates, passes away and transforms. Here origination and passing away are sought to be transformation of change of modes. An unreal (non-existent) can not originate, nor the real (existent) can cease to exist.
The origination, cessation and transformation of a non-sentient entity like matter are directly perceptible, on account of its being corporeal, while the rest of the substances are non-corporeal, and as such their origination, cessation and transformation are imperceptible. Therefore, the etymological nomenclature of the cosmos, i.e. loka, is made with reference to the substance called matter (pudgala), which is directly perceptible (lokyte).
In the present dialogue, Arhat Pārsva is quoted to explain the cosmos as eternal. Lord Mahāvīra has propounded that the loka (cosmos) is both eternal as well as non-eternal.o
Here, again both seemingly contradictory statements are not really contradictory, but there is the difference in the view-points of both propositions. From the view-point of substance, the cosmos is eternal; from the view-point of modes, it is non-eternal. The view-point of substance accepts mainly 'identity', but does not deny difference', but relegates it to a secondary position. Similarly, the standpoint of modes accepts mainly difference'. It does not deny identity, but relegates it to a subsidiary position."
Thus, where the cosmos is propounded to be eternal, it is so from the standpoint of substance; here, it is automatically proved that subsidiarily the cosmos is also non-eternal. On other hand, where the cosmos is interpreted as non-eternal from the modal point of view, it is automatically accepted that subsidiarily it is also eternal. In the statement that the cosmos is eternal, the statement that it is noneternal is automatically accepted, and vice-versa. Therefore, both the statements are not contradictory.
There are ten important issues that differentiate the discipline of Lord Pārsva from that of Mahāvīra. '2 Among them, the issue of 'vows' (vratas) is the sixth, and that of 'recoiling from misdeeds' (pratikramana) is the eighth. In the topic under discussion, these two issues have found mention. In the discipline of Lord Pārsva, there is prescription of fourfold restraint (yamas), whereas in that of Lord Mahāvīra, there is the prescription of fivefold great vows (mahāvratas). In former, the duty of pratikramana was not compulsory, but optional when there was any occasion for it, on account of some remissness on the part of a monk, whereas in the order of the latter, it was compulsory.

PREFACE
The science of karma is a principal part of Jain Metaphysics. In order to know the different states of karma, one should very carefully study the first section of this Sataka, dealing with experience of kārmika fruition (vedanā) and falling away of kārmika particles (nirjarā), which are intimately related. The popular notion is: the more the tolerance of hardships, the more the falling away of kārmika particles. It is not that there is no truth in this notion, but without the knowledge of the basis of truth, the secret of the science of karma can not be grasped. These are two main states of karma--intensified and loosened. In the intensified state of karma, due to non-inhibition of karma even excessive tolerance of hardship results in meagre falling away of karma. In the loosened state of karma, attained through samvara (inhibition), even less tolerance of hardship results in massive falling away of karma. It follows from this that meagre or massive falling away of karma is not due to the less or more tolerance of hardship, the main condition being the intensified or loosened states of karma. This is explained in following chart Karma Experience
Falling away of karma Intensified Intensive experience Meagre falling away of karma Loosened Intensive experience Massive falling away of karma Loosened Weak experience Meagre falling away of karma Loosened Weak experience Massive falling away of karma
According to Pätañjala Yoga philosophy, there are three states of the reduction of klesa (i) attenuation, (ii) burning (iii] absolute destruction. There is attenuation of karma by Kriyāyoga. The seed of karma is burnt by Prasarkhyāna and is completely destroyed by being merged in the prakrti.' This can be compared with meagre falling away of karma and massive falling away of karma. In all practices of the spiritual discipline, the description of the process of purification is indispensable.
In the spiritual science, the aura is a much discussed topic. In the Āgamika literature, this has been discussed as physical colour. Every living being has his own aura. Not only in a living being but even in a non-sentient entity, there is aura. The aura of non-sentient entity is fixed. In living beings the aura is ever changing.

Bhagavai 6:Preface: In the present Sataka, four causes have been given for this change: (i) karma (ii) kriyā (the activity or conduct of a person) (iii) āśrava—cause of influx of karma (iv) vedanā-experience of the fruit of karma. The aura is soiled when all the four components viz.,
(i) fruition of karma (ii) kriya (the activity) (iii) the āśrava i.e., the transformation (pariņāma) of soul and influx
of kārmika pudgalas and
(iv) vedanā—consequential experience of karma are excessively inauspicious. The colour, smell, taste and touch of the soiled aura become displeasing and there is intensification of mental affliction. On the other hand, when all of the four components are auspicious, the aura becomes pure. Its colour, smell, taste and touch become pleasing and the stream of mental bliss becomes incessant. There is influence of the aura also on the body.
To simplify a doctrine by means of illustrations is a special feature of the composition of this canon. The accumulation of karma is effected by effort, not automatically. This doctrine has been illustrated by the example of the piece of cloth. The same illustration has been given to explain the accumulation of karma in the soul.
In the present Agama, the elements of the doctrine of karma are available in a scattered manner. If properly arranged and systematised, they can make a complete treatise. The third section of the present Sataka is virtually a chapter on the doctrine of karma.
A very large part of the Jain Agamika literature has fallen into oblivion. The present canon is distinctly important for containing the remnant of the huge mass of knowledge contained in that Āgamika literature. It contains the description of the important topics of science of astro physics and cosmology such as mass of darkness (tamaskāya), black-streak (krsnarāji). The modern scientists have discovered black hole. The tamaskāya has been described as the transformation of water-body and krsnarāji as that of earth-body.
The travellers in the mysterious region of the Bermuda Peninsula of Trinidad sea-cost, gives the glimpse of the 'mass of darkness'. The event that took place on 8th August 1956, is narrated here:
"A coast-guard steamer named “The Yāmākrā" which was used for exploration and wire-net-laying was cruising towards Sargāso sea-region. This sea-region is believed to be the marine area full of nets of seaweeds in the north of Bāhāmāsa region of the Bermuda Peninsula. It is also said that beneath this marine area there are Gulf Stream and other active streams. It is a prohibited area considered as extremely dangerous for ships, boats, etc. It is even claimed that it is a graveyard of ships and boats that disappeared and were destroyed in a mysterious manner in the

Bhagavai 6:Preface:
-: 341:Bermuda Peninsula. As the steamer was advancing in the open sea, the operator of Radar suddenly found that there was huge earthen mound like object at a distance of 28 to 30 miles right in front. He informed his boss about it. When the boss saw the earthen mound and the marine compass, he also doubted that there was something wrong. The captain also was alerted, but he did not change the direction of the steamer and allowed it to go ahead. Within a very few hours the steamer reached very near the mound. But now only earth appeared there instead of a earthen mound.
What was most alarming yet interesting was that the powerful radar and the search-lights were proving ineffective. In fact, there was neither earth nor vacant land, but it was a peculiar surface of water that appeared like a piece of land or a mass of earth rising up from the north-east to south-east. It was a vivid experience of solitary, cold death. But exhibiting an extra-ordinary courage, the captain and the crew continued to advance. On entering into this illusive marine area, all the lights of the steamer were off. The darkness was so deep and dense that even the extremely bright carbon-arc lamps did not appear brighter than an almost extinguishing spark. The members of the crew were caught in a feat of coughing which proved uncontrollable. The steam-pressure in the engine started decreasing. Being helpless the captain had to order to reverse the direction of the steamer. Everything was done by guess, but for several hours they had to fight with death. Only when the inmates of the steamer could get the glimpse of the dawn, there was no limit to their wonder that there was not the least trace of the illusive appearance even in the remotest area."
Such mysterious happenings are not unusual in the cosmic scenario.
The doctrine of projection of the soul-units in diverse direction in the proximity of death' (māraṇāntika samudghāta) is a topic that needs investigation in the light of the modern developing science of parapsychology that has been collecting the death-bed experiences of the subjects. Many mysteries of life and death are being brought to light through this ancient description found in the Jain scriptures, specially in the Bhagavati Sūtra.
In the present Sataka, there are important topics like measurable time, immeasurable time, the time-wheel, the creation of corporeal form by protean power,
etc.
The style of composition of this canonical work reveals that at the time of Devarddhi Ganī, many texts were incorporated in it from different sources. Some Sūtras are verbatim repetitions; for example, this Sataka repeats the Sūtra (of the V Sataka) dealing with the omniscient not knowing and seeing through the senseorgans.
Every Sataka of the Bhagavati Sūtra can be considered as an independent treatise dealing with the deep problems of metaphysics, and epistemology.

auspicious falling away of karma is superior. 6.2 chattha-sattamāsu nam bhamte! pudhavīsu neraiyā mahāvedanā?

Gautama! suppose there are two pieces of cloth-one is stained by deeply sticky slime, another is stained by mild lubricant (grease). Out of these two pieces of cloth, O Gautama! which is more difficult to clean, more difficult to make stain-free and more difficult to polish? And which one of these two is easier to clean, easier to make stain-free, and easier to polish--the one sullied by mud, or the one made dirty by grease? O Lord! among the two pieces of cloth, the one sullied by mud is difficult to clean, difficult to make stainless, and difficult to polish. So indeed, Gautama! the sinful karmas of the infernal souls are densified, sticky, compact and impassable (i.e., impervious). Even through the experience of intense pain, they (the infernal souls) do not become the souls with massive falling of karma and massive termination of karma. Just as a person striking an anvil with big bang, great noise and repeated strokes, is unable to destroy the hard matter of the anvil, so indeed, O Gautama! the sinful karmas of the infernal souls are densified, sticky, compact and impassable (i.e., impervious).

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 1-4
In the present dialogue, attention has been drawn to the relationship between experiencing pain and falling away of karma. We give below the three laws related to the topic:
(1) Experiencing intensive pain versus massive falling away of karma.
(2) Whether experiencing of pain is intensive or little, the auspicious falling away of karma is the best (as massive).
(3) When the karma is intensified, there does not occur massive falling away of karma, in spite of experiencing intensive pain. For example, the infernals of the sixth and seventh land experience intensive pain, but there does not occur massive falling away of karma. On the contrary, though the śramaņa nrigrantha experiences little pain, there is massive falling away of karma, the reason being that he has loosened his karma due to samvara (inhibition).
In general the rule is that experiencing intensive pain is accompanied by massive falling away of karma; the exception is that experiencing mild pain is sometimes accompanied by massive falling away of karma.
The basic cause of falling away of karma is auspicious psychical state and auspicious activity (of mind, body and speech); the massiveness or meagreness of the falling away of karmas depends upon it.
Umāsvāti has explained that the nirjarā or elimination of kārmika particles is successively innumerable times more than the previous stage at each of the following ten stages of spiritual development which are
1. The possessor of enlightened world-view. 2. The lay-follower practising partial abstinence.
Page #371

Bhagavai 6:1:1-4
- 347 :
3. The ascetic practising complete abstinence. 4. The ascetic subsiding/annihilating the tenacious passions. 5. The ascetic annihilating view-deluding karma. 6. The ascetic subsiding conduct-deluding karma. 7. The ascetic who has subsided conduct-deluding karma. 8. The ascetic annihilating conduct-deluding karma. 9. The ascetic who has annihilated conduct-deluding karma.
10. The Jina (the omniscient). The author of Tattvārtha Bhāsya has recognised two kinds of falling away of karma: involuntary and due to spiritual practice' (kuśalamūlā). The falling away of karma in the case of the infernals, which is the result of the past karma, is involuntary. There is no such conscious willing that “I shall throw away my karina." But the falling away of karma here is due to the fruition of past karma, so it is involuntary. Such falling away of karma is called akušalānubandhā which means nirjarā which is the result of bad karma. The falling away of karma due to austerity and conquering of hardships is called kusalamālā which means nirjarā which is the result of kušala i.e., righteous activity. The auspicious falling away of karma can be compared with the kusalamūlā nirjarā. Abhayadevasūri has explained auspicious falling away of karma as "kalyānānubandhā nirjarā" which means nirjarā which results meritoriously. In the Tattvārtha Bhāsya, two types of kuśalamālā nirjarā have been distinguished: śubhānubandhā and niranubandhā. The falling away of karma that produces good result like the reincarnation as a god etc. is śubhānubundha (producing auspicious bondage result). What is cause of liberation is falling away of karma with no bondage (niranubandhā).
An elaborate description of this subject matter is available in Sūtras 15,16 of this Sataka. Semantics kaddamarāgarattāim-soiled by deeply sticky slime. khamjanarāgarattäim—be smeared by ordinary grease or mud. gādhikayāim—tightly bound with the soul-units like an object tightly bound by a rope made of hemp-thread. cikkaņīkayāim-subtle kārmika bondage that is unbreakable on account of its being tightly bound, just like a (hard) clod of earth. silitthikayāim-nidhatta, e.g. red hot iron rods bound by a bondage into a bundle; karma which are not amenable to any change except udvartanā (increase in duration or intensity) and apavartanā (decrease in duration or intensity). khilībhūyāim-nikācita karma, whose result is sure and certain (which is not amenable to any change). mahāpajjavasāņāim—the falling away of karma which results in liberation. paramparāghāeņāim—struck again and again. ahigarani-an anvil.? āhābāyarāim-very gross clusters, of karmika pudgala, or worthless pudgala.

devā subhenam sāyam. All beings with gross body experience variously (sometimes pleasure, sometimes pain) only through the auspicious and inauspicious instrumentality. The gods (possessed of protean body) experience pleasure through auspicious instrumentality.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 5-14
The literal meaning of karana (instrumentality) is 'means'. That which is most essential for producing the effect is called karaņa. Abhayadevasūri has explained karana as jīvavīrya, i.e., energy of the soul.' Accordingly, the soul's energy which is the source of the activity of mind, speech and body can respectively be called instrumentality quâ mind, instrumentality quâ word and instrumentality quâ body. The original source of the exposition of Abhayadevasűri is the Commentary based on the Bhāşya of Tattvārtha Sūtra. According to it, karana means paryāpti (biopotential). The kāyakarana śarīraparyāpti i.e., bio-potential quâ body is produced by the material clusters belonging to kāyavargaņā, i.e., the group of clusters appropriate for making the body. Similarly, the vākkarana (bhāṣāparyāpti i.e., biopotential quâ speech) and manakarana (manahparyāpti i.e., bio-potential quâ mind) are produced respectively by the material clusters belonging to bhāṣāvargaņā and manovarganä i.e., the group of clusters appropriate for making speech and mind respectively. The kāyakarana, all these three are the means of the transformation of souls energy. Therefore, the nomenclature as karana (means) is quite befitting. To think is manayoga. To speak is vacanayoga. To go etc. is kāyayoga. Also the
Page #375

________________
Bhagavai 6:1:5-14
~: 351:~
material clusters that act as means to thinking, speaking and going are called manakaraṇa, vākkaraṇa, kāyakaraṇa respectively.3
In the Karmaprakṛti, eight karaṇas of karma have been mentionedbandhana, samkramaṇa, udvartana, apavartana, udiraṇa, upašamana, nidhatti and nikācană. In the Gommatasära, there are ten kinds of karana: the above eight together with sattva and udaya."
The soul's energy that act as an instrumentality to the occurrence of these states of bandhana, samkramana etc. is called karmakarana.
In the present dialogue, the relationship between experience of pleasure and pain on the one hand and karana on the other has been explained. When the four karaṇas, viz., mana, vāk, kāya and karma are inauspicious, there is experience of pain, when they are auspicious there is experience of pleasure. Inauspicious mind produces the experience of pain-this is worth mentioning from the point of view of psychiatric treatment.
The infernals and gods have protean body. Other living beings have gross body. The living beings with gross body have pleasurable experiences through auspicious karana and painful experiences through inauspicious karana. The infernals have painful experiences through inauspicious karana and the gods have pleasurable experiences through auspicious karana. Both these statements should not be understood as 'absolutely' applicable, but as 'almost' applicable.' In fact, there is mention of a!! the three-pleasurable, painful and pleasurable-cum-painful experiences in both--the infernals as well as the gods. It means that in the case of infernals sometimes there may be auspicious karana and pleasurable experience and in case of gods also, sometimes there may be inauspicious karana and painful experience.
In the Thanam, however, there is no mention of karmakarana. In addition to the classification of manakarana, vakkarana and kayakarana, there are available two other classifications of karaṇa."

The gods of the highest heaven are with little experience of pain and meagre falling away of karma.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 15-16
In the first dialogue (Sūtras 1 to 4), the description of intensive pain and massive falling away of karma etc. has been made on the basis of auspicious falling away of karma. In the present dialogue, these topics have been described with illustrations. There is prescription of intensive courses of penance for monk. A monk, practising the intensive course, has to endeavour many hardships'.' So he experiences intensive pain. But as his psychic state is auspicious, and also as he maintains equanimity while tolerating hardships, he has massive falling away of karma. The infernals in the sixth and seventh lands experience intensive pain on account of their agonising

- 353 :environment. But they have very little falling away of karma. A comparative study of these two sūtras shows that the cause of massive passing away of karma is not the little or intensive experience of pain. The meagreness or massiveness of falling away of karma is due to the way of tolerating the hardships.
The ascetic practising the intensive course of penance tolerates the intensive pain with equanimity, so there is massive falling away of karma.
The infernals in the sixth and seventh lands do not endure their intensive pain with equanimity so there is little falling away of karma.
The ascetic in the state that is as firm as Mount Meru experiences little pain but his equanimity is very great; so even though there is little pain, the falling away of karma is massive.
The gods in the highest heaven experience little pain and have also meagre falling away of karma.
A comparative study of these four illustrations shows that the souls who endeavoured to affect falling away of karma have avipāki nirjarā falling away of karma which are brought to rise before they become mature through udīranā and are got rid of. The ascetic practising the intensive course of penance and the ascetic in the state of being as firm as Mount Meru are examples of this category. The infernals in the sixth and seventh land and the gods in the highest heavens are examples of vipākī nirjarā, that is, falling away of karma due to vipāka i.e., due to fruition. In this case, there is no endeavor for falling away of the karma. The inauspicious and auspicious karmas that come to the state of fruition fall away after producing their fruit. Semantics padimāpadivannae-pratimā means a special spiritual practice with special resolves and determination. A monk practising the intensive course is called padimäpannae. selesi (sailesi)-the state of an omniscient with total cessation of all activities; hence, he is the attainer of the state of absolute motionless condition like that of the Mount Meru.

The twenty-eighth chapter of the Pannavana is about āhāra. There we find the description of topics like: what kind of food do the living beings consume animate, inanimate or mixed? Do they desire for food? After what interval of time do they consume food? And so on.
Bhāṣya
Ähäruddesao-Here there is no mention of the first uddeśaka of the Pannavana-only the ahara uddeśaka is mentioned. The āhāra-pada has two sections. The topic of the first section is ähära. The topic of the second section is ähäraka and anähäraka. Here only the first uddeśaka of aharapada is to be described. In the first sataka of Bhagavati, there is mention of prathama āhāroddeśaka-āhāro vi-jahā pannavaṇde padhame ähäruddesae tahä bhāniyavvo".

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 20-23
In the present dialogue, the cause and occasion of kārmika bandha have been propounded. Heavy karma and heavy pain are the occasions for the kārmika bondage. There is heavy bondage of kārmika matter due to the rise of heaviness of knowledgecovering karma and deluding karma. A soul experiencing great pain becomes engrossed in mournful meditation; so massive kārmika bondage occurs to him. Kriyā (activity) and āśrava (cause of influx of karma) are both the causes of kārmika bondage. The activities like injury of life etc. are really varieties of yoga āśrava.' In the Tattvārtha Sūtra, there are mentioned thirty-nine varieties of āśrava-five indriyas (senses), four kașāyas (passions), five avratas (non-abstinences) and twentyfive kriyās (urges). There are five basic varieties of āśrava, viz., mithyātva (perverted

-: 359:belief), avirati (non-abstinence), pramāda (remissness), kaşāya (passions) and yoga (activity).
A soul involved in mahākarma, mahākriyā, mahāāśrava and mahāvedanā indulges in inauspicious activity. So he binds, acquires and accumulates kurma from all sides. This binding, acquiring and accumulation of karma take place continuously without stop. On account of the bondage etc. of the kārmika particles, the subtle karmika body is strengthened, which in turn, has influence on the gross body and the aura. The body of such person (binding massive karma) is infested with harmful material clusters, and consequently, he becomes sick and his aura becomes impure.
A soul with light karma, light kriyā, light āśrava and light vedanā engages himself in auspicious activity. So, in him, there is separation (falling away) of kārmika particles from all sides. On account of this kārmika separation, his kārmika body becomes attenuated, and as a result, his gross body and also aura becomes beautiful. His body becomes healthy and pleasing. And his aura becomes immaculate.
In the context of spiritual healing, the present Sūtra is very important. The impurity of the mind (and psyche or emotion) and the impure conduct make the body dull or gloomy and sick. The purity of mind and conduct purifies the body and makes it healthy and lustrous. The eighth pontiff of Terāpantha sect, His Holiness Ācārya Kālugani is an example. Along with the enhancement of purity of the mind and conduct, his body became bright and beautiful.
The states of massive karma and light karma have been explained through two examples: [1] A new piece of cloth when used becomes gradually dirty, so the soul of person of massive kārmika inflow becomes impure or vitiated on account of his inauspicious activity. [2] As a dirty piece of cloth becomes bright when washed, so the soul of a person with light inflow of karma, on account of his auspicious activity, becomes immaculate.
By using the terms karma, kriyā, āśrava and vedanā, the Sūtra has shown their inter-relationship. When the accumulation of karma is massive, kriyā, āśrava and vedanā also become massive. When the kārmika bondage is light, kriyā, āśrava and vedanā also become light. Semantics āyā (ātmā)—body or aura. (Here 'soul is used in the sense of body or aura). bandha— the binding of auspicious and inauspicious karma with the soul, the amassing of karma. caya-upacaya-acquisition and accumulation.

________________
Bhagaval 6:3:24-26
For what reason is it so?
Gautama! there are three kinds of efforts of soul, viz., mental effort, verbal effort and physical effort. There is accumulation of karma in soul due to these three kinds of efforts, not automatic.
Similarly, with respect to five-sensed beings, the three kinds of efforts are to be spoken of.
As regards the earth-bodied beings, there is accumulation of karma by only one kind of effort (viz., bodily effort); the same statement holds good...... up to the vegetation-bodied beings. Two kinds of efforts have been propounded for vikalendriya jīvas (i.e., beings possessed of two to four sense-organs), viz., verbal effort and physical effort.
On the basis of these two kinds of efforts, the accumulation of karma in them is due to efforts, not automatic. For this reason, O Gautama! it is said that the accumulation of karma in souls is due to effort, not automatic (without effort). In this way, appropriate (number of) efforts should be spoken of in souls...... up to the Empyrean gods.
Bhāṣya
~: 361
1. Sūtras 24-26
Karma is accumulated due to the effort of the soul.' It is not without effort. Had the kärmika bondage been without effort, no soul would ever be free from karma, and the soul can not remain in the state free from karma. The material clusters of karma are spread all over the cosmos and they occupy space in proximity to the souls. But so long as the soul does not endeavour to amass them, there is no accumulation or bondage of karma. In the present dialogue, the process of karmika bondage has been explained. There are three kinds of efforts in the soul-mental, verbal and physical. The appropriation of all kinds of material clusters is made by physical effort. This is the common rule the appropriation of karma. The karmika clusters are associated with the soul-units (jiva-pradesa) through the body making karma (nāma karma). This association is not uniform, it has many varieties. The efforts of mind, speech and body may be intense, more intense, and most intense or mild, less mild and least mild. The intensity of karmika bondage is in proportion to the intensity of effort in the soul?"

For this reason it is so.
Bhāsya
1. Sūtras 27-29
The perennial problem concerning the karma has been about the priority between soul and karma. That is--"which precedes-Soul or Karma?” The soul can not exist in the world without karma and there can not be kārmika bondage without the existence of soul. The implication is that the soul and karma both are without beginning. In the present dialogue, the problem of the beginninglessness of karma has been considered relatively, by dividing the concepts without beginning' and 'with beginning' in four alternatives:
[1] With beginning and with end: There is īryāpathika kärmika bondage in the vītarāga soul, i.e., the soul which is free from passions (either due to the subsidence of or annihilation of deluding karma. The duration of such bandha is two time-units. In the first time-unit there occurs the bondage of karma; in the second, there is experience of karma and in the third there is falling away of karma. As there is no such bondage before the attainment of the state of vītarāga, so such bondage has beginning. Such bondage stops at the state of ayogi kevalī, so it is with end.2
[2] Without beginning and with end.
[3] Without beginning and without end: The kūrmika bondage in all the avītarāga souls is beginningless. So far as anāditva (i.c., beginninglessness) is concerned, there is no difference between the second and the third alternatives. In the bhavya souls there is the capacity of attaining liberation. With reference to the kārmika bondage that has been put an end to, the second alternative, viz., without beginning and with end becomes possible. In the abhavya souls there is no capacity for liberation, so their kārmika bondage is without beginning and without end.
[4] With beginning and without end: This alternative is impossible. The beginninglessness of kārmika bondage is an axiomatic or transcendental truth, which is independent, any cause, whereas the state of the kārmika bondage with beginning is dependent on some cause. Such state of kārmika bondage 'with beginning'is possible only in the case of iryāpathika binding. The īryāpathikīkriyā is only possible in vītarāga who liberates himself by definitely putting an end from all kārmika bondage. Therefore, the alternative, namely, 'with beginning and without end' is

For this reason it is so.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 30-32
The problems of "beginningness" and "beginninglessness" can be considered in many ways. In the present dialogue, the states of beginningness and beginninglessness of soul have been considered with reference to the modes of the jiva, the nature of the soul, and the competence and incompetence (of the souls for attainment of liberation).
[1] The states of the infernals, the subhumans, the humans and the gods are the four modes of the souls. Each mode is with beginning and also with end-e.g., to be born as human is the starting point of being human and the termination of human life is the end. So the state of being human has beginning and end.
[2] Liberation is the pure nature of the soul. Such nature was never attained before, so the state of liberation has a beginning. The state of liberation once attained never comes to an end, so it is without end.
In Yoga philosophy, the state of liberation and the state of Godhood have been considered to be different. According to it, the liberated souls have attained kaivalya by destroying their bondage. The God however is always free from bondage, so the liberated soul has beginning, but the God has no beginning. In Jain philosophy, the doctrine of liberated state without beginning has not been accepted. Relatively speaking, the liberated souls as a category is without beginning. But from the absolutist standpoint, they are not without beginning.
In the Uttarādhyayana Sūtra, it has been propounded that individually the state of the liberated soul is with beginning and without end. But, when considered en masse, the liberated souls are without beginning and without end. Here the state, viz., without beginning is different from that accepted by Yoga philosophy. In Jain philosophy whoever attained liberation did so by destroying his kārmika bondage. Every liberated soul is described as 'prathama', i.e., 'with beginning'; none among them is otherwise (aprathama, i.e., without a beginning). Nevertheless, the liberated soul has been called with beginning and without end from the temporal standpoint (Bha. 2.48).
Liberated souls have no end. However, there are some non-Jain philosophers who believe in the rebirth of liberated souls. In this context, Acārya Hemacandra's refutation of the doctrine of limited number of souls' is worth mentioning. Acārya Hemacandra has pointed out two defects in the doctrine that there exist only finite

number of souls in the world. If their number is limited then some day all of them will attain liberation. In that condition the liberated souls would have to be reborn or the world will become absolutely empty of souls. The statement that the liberated souls persist for ever (i.e., they are without end) implies that once the soul is liberated, it is never reborn in the world.
[3] In the bhavasiddhika souls, the potentiality of bhavyatva exists, which is without beginning. At the time of liberation that potentiality becomes defunct and hence, it comes to an end. From this standpoint, the bhavyajīva is with end." Only the bhavya soul can attain liberation but all bhavya souls do not attain liberation; only those bhavya souls are liberated whose temporal potentiality gets matured. So, Lord Mahāvīra explained to Jayants that this world will never be empty of bhavya souls.

Gautama! the minimum (duration of knowledge-covering karma) is an antarmuhūrtta, the maximum is thirty koti-koți sāgaropamas (= 30 x 1014 ocean-measured period). The abädhäkāla (period of dormancy) is 3000 years. The period of karma-nişeka is equal to the total duration of bondage minus the period of dormancy. (The karma-nișeka is the special type of karmic structure designed for the realization of the karmic dalikas (groups)). The minimum duration of intuition-covering karma is an antarmuhurtta, the maximum is thirty koti-koți sāgaropamas (= 30 x 1014 ocean-measured period). The abādhākāla (period of dormancy) is 3000 years. The period of karma-nișeka is equal to the total duration of bondage minus the period of dormaney. The minimum duration of sensation-producing karma is two time-units, the maximum is thirty koti-koți sāgaropamas (= 30 x 1014 ocean-measured period). The abädhäkāla (period of dormancy) is 3000 years. The period of karma-nişeka is equal to the total duration of bondage minus the period of dormancy. The minimum duration of deluding karma is an antarmuhürtta, the maximum is seventy koti-koti sägaropamas (= 30 x 1014 ocean-measured period). The abädhäkäla (period of dormancy) is 7000 years. The period of karma-nişeka is equal to the total duration of bondage minus the period of dormancy. The minimum duration of life-span-determining karma is an antarmuhurtta, the maximum is thirty-three sägaropamas (ocean-measured period) plus one-third of the pūrvakoți (= 33 ocean-measured period + ',x 842 x 101" x 107 years).

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 33-34
The material clusters (varganās) occupy an important place in the transformations that take place in the cosmos. There are eight types of material clusters : [1] Gross-body, [2] Protean body [3] Conveyance body [4] Fiery body (5] Speech [6] Respiration [7] Mind [8] Kārmika body.
The clusters of kārmiku body have the maximum effect on the career of the soul. The body, speech, mind and respiration are all related with the kārmika clusters, being subservient to the latter. The body etc. can operate only when the soul is bound by the karma. On the separation of soul and karina, all those clusters fall away from the soul, resulting in the cessation of the mundane existence of the soul.
Karma' is a technical term, which is explained as—“The soul, on account of its power of āśruva, (i.e., the state of soul, responsible for attraction of the particles belonging to kārmika cluster), attracts these particles and takes them in; these particles are converted into what is called as 'karma' and get bound with the soul-units." Thus karma is the material clusters, belonging to arina varganā, which are capable of being assimilated by the soul due to the latter's power of āśrava i.e., attracting them on account of its passions (kaşāya) and energy (vīrya) that find expression as the activities of mind, speech and body after being attracted by the soul. The clusters capable of being assimilated as karma are homogenous, being alike without any distinction as knowledge-covering, intuition-covering etc. The transformation of those material clusters as knowledge-covering, intuition-covering etc. is due to the psychic dispositions of the soul by means of which they are attracted and assimilated.'
The kārmika bondage has four aspects, viz., type (prakrti), duration (sthiti), intensity (quality of fruition) (anubhāga) and mass (or quantum) of material particles assimilated (pradeśa). Out of these four, the first is the bondage of type, which has been considered by Siddhasenagani as basic cause of the classification of karma. As the earth is the material cause of varieties of earthenwares like jar etc., the material clusters of karma assimilated by the soul takes various forms through the types. The type (prakrti) means also the nature. Through the bondage of type, different natures of karma are determined. The nature of knowledge-covering karma is to cover the power of knowing. The nature of intuition-covering karma, is to cover the power of intuiting. On the arise of the intuition-covering karma, the soul can not have immediate insight (ālocana) into the object or darśana (apprehension).
Page #393
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 6:3:33-34
-: 369On the rise of the knowledge-covering kurma, one can not have the avagama (cognizance) of the object. Alocana always precedes avagama. This is the sequence of the process of knowledge (cognition). The nature of the sensation-producing karma is to produce experience of pleasure and pain. The nature of deluding karma is to produce delusion- pervert the feelings of view of reality and vitiation of conduct. The nature of life-span-determining karma is to determine the nature of birth (or life-span-determining as animal, human etc.). The nature of body-making karma is to give various corporeal forms to the soul (through the shape, size, colour etc. of the body). The nature of status-determining karma is to induct the soul in low or high position. The nature of the obstructive karma is to obstruct the free expression of soul's energy.
Now a problem is: why there are only eight basic types of karma? The answer to this problem is obtained by the analysis of the spiritual character or property and the physical personality of the soul. The nature of the soul consists of the four attributes, viz., knowledge, intuition, bliss and energy. Out of the four attributes, the first two are covered by knowledge-covering and intuition-covering karmas respectively, the third (i.e., bliss) by the deluding karma and the fourth by the obstructing karma. Briefly speaking the four karmus viz., knowledge-covering, intuition-covering, deluding and obstructive are destructive karma (ghāti karma). The remaining four types of karma are non-destructive (ughāti). Because they do not destroy the fundamental attributes of soul. They merely determine the physical or external conditions of the soul. The principle aspect of physical personality of soul is the body-formation. The incorporeal soul is rendered corporeal form by the body-making karma. The life-span-determining in a particular life-form (or order of existence) is decided by the life-span-determining karma. The feelings or sensations of pain are caused by the sensation-producing karma. The statusdetermining karma becomes the cause of high and low position which makes one esteemable or otherwise. As these four types of karma produce only the physical personality, they are called aghāti karma.
The eight basic types explain the major aspects of life. The minor aspects are explained by the sub-types of the karma.
The second variety of the bondage is duration of karma, which determines the total period of time for which the karma would accompany the soul. When it is over, the karma, after coming to rise, gets separated from the soul.
The karma does not start producing its fruit immediately after being bound. There is some period of dormancy, which is the interval between the time of binding karma and the time of producing the effect. The period of dormancy or inactiveness is called 'abūdhākāla'. Thus, the total period of sthitibandha is divided into two states-(i) abādhākāla (ii) bādhākāla.
In the abädhäkäla, there is no realization of karma. When the būdhākāla starts, the karma also starts giving its effect. Thus, the total time of kārmika bondage (i.e., sthitibandha) and the time during which it is realized is not same.
At the end of the period of dormancy the process of karma-niseka starts. This is as follows: The karma that are bound do not start giving fruit all at once. They

Bhagavar 6:3:33-34
start producing their effect gradually. The bound karmas get divided into "quanta": cach quantum would come into rise, one after the other in a sequence. These quanta are called karma-niseka. In the first time-unit, the quantum of karma-niṣeka that is "dripping" is larger than that which drips in the second time-unit, and so on, up to the end of the "dripping" it becomes smallest.
In the present dialogue the period of dormancy has been mentioned in the case of only the seven types of karma, there being no mention the period of dormancy in the case of life-span-determining karma. In the Karma-prakṛti, however, we find the mention of the period of dormancy of life-span-determining karma. According to this, the period of dormancy of the life-span-determining karma is one third of the whole life-span-determining of the present life." In the Pamcasamgraha, the maximum period of dormancy of life-span-determining karma is given to be one third of the parvakoți. [1 pārvakoți = (54 lakh)2 x 10' years]. Abhayadevasūri has also shown the period of dormancy of life-span-determining karma as one third of purvakoți. The period of "dripping (niṣeka-kāla) extends over here to" thirty-three sagara." In the Bhagavati, there is no mention of the period of dormancy of life-span-determining karma. In the Pannavaṇā also there is no mention of the period of dormancy of life-span-determining karma. The maximum duration of the lifespan-determining karma has been shown to be thirty-three sägaras plus one third of parvakoti, which is relative statement. The maximum duration of the life-spandetermining of the next birth, which is being bound, is thirty three sagaras. The one third of a purvakoți is duration of the life-span-determining karma, which is experienced in the present life and which when added to the life-span-determining that is being bound gives the duration of life-span-determining karma as thirtythree sagaras plus one third of a purvakoti. In the Bhagavati Vṛtti and the Cūrṇi of Sataka (Pañcasamgraha)," the period of dormancy is given to be one third of pūrvakoți and the period of karma-nişeka has been stated to be equal to total duration of karma (karma-sthiti) minus the period of dormancy. The maximum niṣeka-kāla of the life-span-determining karma is thirty three sägaras." See the chart below

Bound by the aparīta (i.e., soul sharing a collective body or soul in mundane existence without termination)? Bound by the no-parīta, no-aparita (i.e. soul which is neither parīta nor aparīta i.e., soul which is neither with an individual body nor with a collective body or neither in mundane existence with termination nor in mundane existence without termination)? Gautama! the parīta, in some respects binds, in some respects does not bind, the aparīta binds, the soul which is neither parīta, nor aparīta does not bind. In the same way, excluding the life-span-determining karma, all the remaining seven types of karma are to be described. Both parīta as well as aparīta in some respect binds the life-span-determining karma and, in some respect,
do not bind. The soul which is neither parīta nor aparīta does not bind. 6.45 nānāvaranijjam nam bhamte! kaminam kim ābhiņibohiyanāni bamdhai?

Bhagavai 6:3:35-51
Bhāşya 1. Sūtras 35-51 The soul, with sexual disposition, free from sexual disposition
Until the beginning of the ninth stage of spiritual development, the soul is possessed of sexual disposition. In the last part of the ninth stage, it becomes free from such disposition. In that state which is devoid of sexual disposition up to the tenth stage, the soul may bind the knowledge-covering karma. After that, in the eleventh, the twelfth and the thirteenth stages, there is no bondage of knowledge-covering karma.' There is no binding of life-span-determining karma in the stages that followed the seventh stage. So the soul devoid of sexual disposition can not bind life-span-determining karma. The bondage of life-span-determining karma takes place only once in the whole life-span-determining. So, the binding of life-span-determining karma has been described as occurring only occasionally. The life-span-determining karma is bound at the time that is appropriate to it, it can not be bound at the time that is inappropriate. For the appropriate time of binding the life-span-determining karma, see Bhāsya on 5.59-61.
The binding of the knowledge-covering karma is possible only up to the ninth stage of spiritual development. If the soul (free from sexual disposition) which is in the ninth stage starts binding it, it would continue the same up to the tenth stage, but if it stops it there, then it is not possible in the stages that are higher. This is why the binding of knowledge-covering karma has been characterised as taking place in case of some and impossible in others. The restrained and the unrestrained soul
The soul that is neither restrained, nor unrestrained, nor restrained-cum-unrestrained is the liberated one, which has no cause for binding any karma. So ipso facto, there is no bondage of knowledge-covering karma. The description of the bondage of six types of karma, viz., intuition-covering kurma, etc. is exactly the same as that of knowledge-covering karma. So far as the binding of life-spandetermining karma is concerned, the souls that are restrained, unrestrained or restrained-cum-unrestrained bind occasionally, but those who are neither restrained, nor unrestrained nor restrained-cum-unrestrained in one word, the liberated souls) never bind it. The soul, with enlightened world-view
There are two types of soul, with enlightened world-view: those that are with attachment and those that are without attachment. The former bind knowledge-covering karma, the latter do not. The soul, possessed of mind etc.
Among the souls, possessed of mind, those that are without attachment do not bind knowledge-covering karma, but those who are with attachment do bind. The souls that are neither with mind nor without mind are kevali and siddha. They do not bind knowledge-covering karma. The souls with mind as well as the souls without mind bind sensation-producing karma. Among the kevalī, the souls with activity

Bhagavai 6:3:35-51
-: 379:
bind sensation-producing karma. But the kevalīs who have ceased from activity and siddhas do not. So in the third alternative, there is the relative statement (bhajanā) of some binding and some not binding sensation-producing karma. Bhavasiddhika (bhavya) (Souls worthy of liberation)
There are two types of bhavasiddhika souls: those that are without attachment and those that are with attachment. The former do not bind the knowledge-covering karma, whereas the latter do. So there is bhajanā. The third alternative refers to the liberated soul who does not bind karma. Intuition
The souls with the veil of ignorance but free from attachment do not bind knowledge-covering karma, the rest do. So there is the mention of bhajanā in the case of souls, with visual intuition, non-visual intuition and clairvoyant intuition. The souls, with omniscient intuition and indulging activity, bind sensation-producing karma. The omniscient with intuition and who have ceased from activity and the liberated souls do not bind karma. So there is no mention of bhajanā. The souls, with bio-potential accomplished
The souls free from attachment and bio-potential accomplished do not bind the knowledge-covering karma. The souls, with attachment and bio-potential, accomplished do bind. So there is mention of bhajanā. The third alternative refers to the liberated souls who do not bind karma.
The souls, free from attachment and speech-bio-potential accomplished, do not bind knowledge-covering karma, but the souls, with attachment, do. The second alternative refers to the following four kinds of soul: viz., abhāsaka kevali who have ceased from doing activity, the liberated soul, one-sensed soul and soul in transit. Among them the first two do not bind knowledge-covering-karma, but the other two do. So this is subject to bhajanā. Again the first two do not bind the sensation-producing karma, whereas the last two do. Parīta-aparīta
'Parīta' has two meanings: the soul, with individual body, and the soul, with terminus of the worldly existence. Aparīta' means the soul, with common body, and soul, without terminus of worldly existence. The parīta soul, free from attachment, does not bind knowledge-covering karma, the parīta soul, with attachment, does bind. Knowledge
If the souls, with the first four varieties of knowledge, viz., empirical knowledge etc., are free from attachment, they do not bind (as in the eleventh stage of spiritual development); if they are with attachment, they bind. The fifth alternative refers to the following three kinds of soul: the kevali, with activity, the kevali who have ceased from activity and the liberated soul. Out of these three, the kevali, indulging in activity, binds sensation-karma, the other two do not. The soul, free from attachment, and the kevali, indulging in activity, do not bind the knowledge-covering karma. So it is subject to bhajanā.

Bhagavai 6:3:35-51 Pervert's Knowledge (Ajñāna)
All the three types of ajñānī (knowledge of soul, with deluded world-view) viz., mati-ajñānī, śruta-ajñānī, and vibhanga-ajñānī, are soul with attachment. So, they bind the seven types of karmas except the life-span-determining karma, as explained in the case of 'Soul, with sexual disposition'. Yoga (Activity)
All the three types of souls, indulging in activity who are with attachment, bind the knowledge-covering karma, but those who are free from attachment do not bind knowledge-covering karma; therefore, they are subject to bhajanā. The souls who have ceased from activiy (i.e. ayogi) never bind any karma. Similar description about the binding of other seven karmas except the vedanīya karma should be made here. All the three types of souls, indulging in activity, bind the vedanīya karma, the ayogi never binds. The souls, with determinate and indeterminate knowledge
The souls, with determinate and indeterminate knowledge, indulging activity bind karma, but those who have ceased from activity do not. The souls that consume or do not consume nourishment
The souls that are free from attachment and the kevalīs, consuming nourishment, do not bind knowledge-covering karma. The souls, with attachment, consuming nourishment, do bind. At the third, fourth and fifth time-units during expansion of the soul-units by the kevali when he remains without consuming nourishment, he does not bind knowledge-covering karma. The soul in-transit, when not consuming nourishment, binds knowledge-covering karma. The kevali expanding his soul-units, and the soul in-transit, not consuming nourishment, bind sensation-producing karma, the kevals who have ceased from activity and the liberated soul do not bind sensation-producing karma. Subtle and gross living beings
The one-sensed beings are both subtle and gross; others are only gross. On account of the rise of the the body-making karma responsible for subtle (physical) body, the corporeal constitution of subtle living beings is extremely fine. Their body, though composite, is not perceptible to eyes. The gross beings free from attachment do not bind knowledge-covering karma, the gross beings with attachment do bind. The souls that are neither subtle nor gross are the liberated ones who do not bind. The souls, with and without the last birth
The soul that will have the last birth is called carama. The soul that will never have the last birth is acarama. The carama soul, indulging in activity, binds all the eight types of karma according to the occasion. The carama soul who has ceased from activity does not bind. So it is subject to bhajanā. The mundane acarama soul binds all the eight types of karma. The liberated soul has no reincarnation, and hence, from this point of view, he is also acarama; such acarama soul does not bind any karma (i.e., he is always abandhaka). So, acarama is also subject to bhajanā.

[Introductory Note by English Translators
An entity passes through time. When an entity comes into an existence, it has no samaya (indivisible time-unit). Technically, it is called apradesa, literally, it means 'without samaya' or precisely speaking 'with only one samaya'. In the second instant of its duration, the entity has two-samayas and so on. Then the entity is called sapradesa with reference to its temporal extention or duration. We use the word 'uni-duration' for apradeśa and 'multi-duration" for sapradeśa, "multi" standing for duration of two samayas, three samayas, etc..]

sanni-lessā-ditthi-samjaya-kasāe || nāne joguvaoge,
vede ya sarīra-pajjatti ||1|| Summary Verse
Sapradeśa, souls consuming nourishment, bhavya souls with mind, souls with lesyā, souls with world-view, restrained, souls with passion, souls with knowledge, souls with activity, souls with sentience, souls with sexual disposition, souls with body and souls with bio-potential complete—these are the subjects described in the ten Sūtras (6.54-63).
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 54-63
Sapradeśa and apradeśa are relative terms, which have been critically examined from a number of stand-points. In the present dialogue, the concepts of sapradeśa and apradeśa have been considered with reference to time. The object that originated only one samaya (indivisible time-unit) ago is apradeśa and the object that endured for two samayas or more is called sapradeśa.? This has been explained by the examples of 'souls in general and infernals. The ‘soul, on account of his being without beginning in time, has endured through infinite number of samayas; so, it is necessarily of ‘multi-duration' (sapradeśa). Temporally, the soul can be divided into infinite parts. Thus, his personality with respect to time has infinite parts. This is confirmed in the Uttarādhyayana by the statement-samtaim pappaņāīyā, i.e., souls are without beginning in time with reference to their beginningless continuity of duration.
[English Translator Note-The concept of time is a controversial issue in Jainism. Whether time is a substance or a mode has been discussed in ancient Jain treatises. But a look at the present Sūtra can not but convince that the problem of time was an integral part of Jain cosmogony. It is generally believed that it was Buddhism that explained everything as momentary and the 'continuum' as a series of moments. But if we accept the antiquity of the dialogue under consideration, it will not be improper to say that the concept of samtati as a stream of moments was definitely pre-Buddhist. It is not understandable why this dialogue did not attract the attention of the Jain Logicians who were so enthusiastic about condemning the Buddhist doctrine of momentariness, considering it to be a novel tenet advanced by the Buddha. There are many other dialogues in the Bhagavati Sūtra that are bound to open the mind of the Jain Logicians who appreciate the fact that many a doctrine of Buddhism that appears to be new and unique was anticipated by the dialogues of the Bhagavati Sūtra).

Bhagavai 6:4:54-63
The infernals, the humans, ...... up to the liberated souls are both of multiduration and of uni-duration. At the moment of its origination, every entity is of uni-duration (apradeśa) and it is of multi-duration (sapradeśa) in the successive period of its duration. [In other words, every entity grows temporally as it endures. This concept may be compared with the fourth dimension of time as conceived in modern science in the famous Theory of Relativity given by Albert Einstein).
With reference to many souls, the souls in their totality are necessarily of multi-duration. Among the infernals in plural number, there is three-membered combination-pattern: [1] In the absence of new birth, all the previously born infernals are of multi-duration. [2] In case a new infernal is born among the previously born infernals, there are many infernals of multi-duration and one of uni-duration. [3] When many infernals are simultaneously born among the previously born infernals, there occurs the third combination-pattern--many of multi-duration and many of uni-duration.
Excluding the one-sensed souls, all other souls and the liberated souls have three-numbered combination pattern. The one-sensed beings are both of multiduration and uni-duration: 1. All those souls who were born two and more timeunits ago are of multi-duration. 2. Among the one-sensed beings, many are freshly born, so they are of uni-duration.
There is also six-membered combination-pattern in the case of the plural number
There is six-membered combination-pattern in the case of the plural numbered infernals born from the state of soul without mind'. The six-membered combinationpattern derives in the following way
[1] In the absence of the fresh birth of infernals, all the previously born infernals are of multi-duration.
[2] Some souls are newly born simultaneously : at the time of the birth they are all of uni-duration
[3] Among those born as infernals from the souls without mind', one soul in the second higher samaya is of multi-duration and one soul in the first samaya is of uni-duration
[4] Among those born as infernals from the souls without mind', one soul in the second or higher samaya is of multi-duration and many souls in the first samaya are of uni-duration.
[5) Among those born as infernals from the souls without mind', many souls in the second or higher samayas are of multi-duration and one soul in the first samaya is of uni-duration.
[6] Among those born as infernals from 'the souls without mind', many souls in the second or higher samaya are of multi-duration and many souls in the first samaya are of uni-duration. Semantics sapradeśa---with parts, with divisions, of multi-durations. apradeśa-without parts, without division, of uni-duration.

Even if the speech-bio-potential and mind-bio-potential are considered independently, it makes no difference as far as the combination

Are the souls, O Lord! the observer of the (total) vow to abstain from sinful activity? (Or) The non-observer? (Or) The observer-cum-non-observer (i.e. observer of a partial vow)? Gautama! the souls are observer of the (total) vow to abstain from sinful
activity, also non-observer and observer-cum-non-observer. 6.65 savvajīvānam evam pucchä.

Such query is made about the souls belonging to all groups. Gautama! the infernals, and souls ..... up to the group of four-sensed beings are necessarily non-observer (the other two alternatives, viz., observer and observer-cum-non-observers are not applicable here. The souls, belonging to the group of five-sensed subhuman beings, are not observer of the (total) vow to abandon any sin, but are non-observers and also observer-cum-nonobservers. The humans are amenable to all the three alternatives. The rest
of the groups of beings are to be described like the infernals. 6.66 jīvā ņam bhamte! kim paccakkhānam jänamti? apaccakkhāņam jāņamti?

(Or) Undertake the observing-cum--non-observing? (i.e., undertake observing of a partial vow)? The observing of the undertaking of (total) vow etc. is to be explained
like the general paradigm (as given in Sūtras 6.64-65). 6.68 jivä nam bhamte! kim paccakkhānanivvattiyāuyū upaccakkhānivvatti-yāuyā?

Are the souls, O Lord! of life-span bound on the account of the observing of (total) vow to abstain from sinful activity? Life-span bound on account of the non-observing? Life-span bound on the account of the observing-cum- non-observing (i.e., observing of a partial vow)? Gautama! the souls (in general) and the Empyrean gods are of life-span bound on account of the observing of (total) vow to abandon any sin, nonobserving and also of life-span bound on account of the observing-cum-non-observing. The souls belonging to the rest of groups are of life-span bound on occount of the non-observing of vow.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 64-68
The root Vkhyā with prefix pruti + ā has a number of meanings-lo abandon (renounce), to abstain from sinful activity, to deny,' to decline.?
In the present dialogue, pratyākhyāna is a technical term which means - abandoning (renouncing) all sinful activities. The term pratyākhyāni thus means one who abandons (renounces) all sinful activity, i.e., one who is absolutely abstinent or who is observer of the great vows' (prescribed for an ascetic).
Apratyākhyānī, on the other hand, means--non-abstinent--one who has not undertaken any vow, i.e., who is totally non-observer of any vow. Pratyākhyānāpratyākhyānī means--partially abstinent, or a lay-follower who has undertaken the 12 vows, that is, one who has not undertaken the great vows." (From the point of view of observer of the lay follower's vows, he is “pratyākhyāni", but from the point of view of non-observer of "great vows of the ascetic," he is "apratyākhyāni"; hence, he is called "Pratyākhyānäpratyākhyāni").

________________
Bhagavai 6:4:64-68
-: 403 :All souls are not equally competent to undertake vows, for more than one reason. The infernals experience very hard suffering. So they have not the disposition to undertake any vow. On the other hand gods experience excessive pleasure, and so, they have no inclination to undertake a vow.
It can thus be said conclusively that extreme suffering and extreme pleasure are detrimental to the undertaking of vows. Only the person who is neither extremely miserable nor extremely happy can observe the vows.
The souls belonging to the groups (dandakas) of the one-sensed ...... up to the five-sensed beings, without the faculty of thinking, are devoid of mind. In absence of rational mind, there can not arise the resolve to undertake any vow. In the fivesensed sub-humans with mind, there is only a limited development of the ethical conscience, so they have a capacity only for observing the partial vow.
In the humans, the ethical conscience may develop sufficiently to resolve to undertake not only partial but even total vow.
The doctrine of karma envisages 'non-observing of vow' (apratyākhyāna) as a general condition of soul, due to the predominance of the apratyākhyānavaranamoha, i.e., deluding karma responsible for the spiritual stupor resulting in the mutilation of the undertaking of any vow.
The apratyākhyānāvarana deluding karma is responsible for absolute nonabstinence and the pratyākhyānāvarana for the partial abstinence. When the former is suppressed-cum-eliminated, one can undertake the partial abstinence as a lay follower and when the latter is suppressed-cum-eliminated, one can undertake total abstinence (as an ascetic). The implication is that the combination of mental development and the suppression-cum-climination of conduct deluding karma lead to the awakening of ethical conscience of abstinence, partial or total.
All beings, equipped with power of thinking (infernals, gods, humans and sub-humans), can have the ethical consciousness of abstinence, but the beings devoid of such power always remain ignorant of the ethics of abstinence. The inclination towards abstinence is the key to ethical conscience.
Some souls are enriched with the power to undertake the vow to abstain from sin, the others have not--this has been made clear above. Life-span
The pratyākhyāna-observing of vow to abandon sin-acts sometimes as the moulding cause of bondage of life-span. The souls in general are amenable to all the three alternatives, viz., observing, non-observing and observing-cum-nonobserving as the moulding cause of binding the life-span-determining karma. The bondage of the life-span of the Empyrean gods is also governed by this law. The remaining 23 groups of souls (excluding the Empyrean gods), have their bondage of life-span-determining karma moulded only by non-observing of vow. The monks and the lay followers, who are observers respectively of the vow to abandon sin totally and partially, do not bind life-span other than that of Empyrean gods. Srimajjayācārya has explained this very lucidly as follows:

Bhagavai 6:4:64-69 "Aforesaid observing of vow to abandon any sin (etc.) are also the causes of the binding of life-span-determining karma. Now, the life-span-sūtra is being spoken of: Does a soul, O Lord! bind life-span-determining karma by observing the vow to abandon any sin? Or by non-observing? Or by observing-cum-non-observing? The Jina replied—the souls observing the vow to abandon any sin, non-observing or observing-cum-non-observing bind life-span-determining karma. The person observing the (total) vow to abandon any sin binds the lifespan of Empyrean gods. Also one non-observing and observing-cum-non-observing do bind the same. The life-span of the remaining 23 groups of beings is bound only by a non-observer (such vow); the observer or the observer-cum-non-observer will never bind the life-span of 23 groups beginning with the infernals, etc.."4

From here arises the mass of darkness. It (the linear structure) rises up to 1721 yojanas, and then horizontally widening and widening, it moves

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 70-118 Comparison between Mass of Darkness & Black Streaks
There are some similarities as well as some dissimilarities in the mass of darkness and black-streaks. 1. Similarity in Colour, etc.
The colour of both is black, of dark hue, deep, terrifying, fearful, causing terror and pitch dark (Sūtra 85).
The implication is that both of them are constituted of the material clusters that do not allow a single ray of light to pass through them. The scientific explanation of this is that the density of those material clusters is so great that even the subtlemost photons cannot emerge from them. In this sense, they are comparable with the 'black hole' discovered in modern science. 2. Similarity in respect of the Width
The width of the mass of darkness is of two kinds-numerable thousand yojanas and innumerable yojanas, whereas that of the black streaks is only numerable yojanas. 3. Similarity in respect of the Perimeter
In both, it is innumerable thousand yojanas. 4. Similarity in respect of the Length
The black streaks are innumerable thousand yojanas in length. The length of

the mass of darkness is not mentioned.
5. Absence of House, etc.
Both are empty space in the sense that there are neither houses, nor shops, nor rest-houses.
~: 417
Dissimilarities
1. The major difference between the mass of darkness and black streak is that the former is water-bodied beings, whereas the latter is mainly earth-bodied beings: 2. In the former, there is absence of gross earth-bodied and gross fire-bodied. beings, in the latter there are neither water-bodied, nor fire-bodied, nor vegetation-bodied beings.
3. In both of them, there is absolute absence of moons, suns, planets, asteroids and stars, but whereas there are moons, suns, etc. (all the five) in the vicinity of the former, and their light become dimmed on being reflected into the mass of darkness, there is absolute absence of such reflection of light of moon, sun, etc. in the black streaks.
4. In both, heavy clouds, because of their high humidity, become moistened, and mingle together, and shower rain, and all the three phenomena are produced by gods, nagas and asuras. But whereas in the former, there is gross thunder and lightning caused by the gods, asuras and nägas, in the latter, only some god alone produces these phenomena, there being no asura or naga.
Concept of 'Black Hole' in Science
According to the modern scientific theories, the particles of light, which are called 'photons' are also affected by gravitation.?
At first people thought the particles of light travelled infinitely fast, so gravity would not have been able to slow them down, but the discovery by Roamer that light travels at a finite speed meant that gravity might have an important effect.
On the assumption, a Cambridge don, John Michell, wrote a paper in 1783 in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, in which he pointed out that a star that was sufficiently massive and compact would have such a strong gravitational field that light could not escape: any light emitted from the surface of the star would be dragged back by the star's gravitational attraction before it could get very far. Michell suggested that there might be a large number of stars like this. Although we would not be able to see them because the light from them would not reach us, we would still feel their gravitational attraction. Such objects are what we now call black holes, because that is what they are: black voids in space.
It implies that if the black hole would not allow even the minute particles like photons to escape from its shackles, then it is clear that if any other physical object or a steller body would go near the black hole, the latter would drag the former towards itself, and ultimately would absorb it.
Formation of Black Hole
To understand how a black hole might be formed, we first need an understanding
Page #442
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
~: 418 :~
Bhagavai 6:5:70-118 of the life-cycle of a star. A star is formed when a large amount of gas (mostly hydrogen) starts to collapse in on itself due to its gravitational attraction. As it contracts the atoms of the gas collide with each other more and more frequently and at greater and greater speeds-the gas heats up. Eventually, the gas will be so hot that when the hydrogen atoms collide they no longer bounce off each other, but instead coalesce to form helium. The heat release in this reaction, which is like a controlled hydrogen bomb explosion, is what makes the star shine. This additional heat also increases the pressure of the gas until it is sufficient to balance the gravitational attraction, and the gas stops contracting. It is bit like a balloon-there is balance between the pressure of the air inside, which is trying to make the balloon expand, and the tension in the rubber, which is trying to make the balloon smaller. Stars will remain stable like this for a long time, with heat from the nuclear reactions balancing the gravitational attraction. Eventually, however, the star will run out of its hydrogen and other nuclear fuels. When a star runs out of fuel, it starts to cool off and so to contract.
It is evident that with contraction of the star, its density will increase. Consequently, as we have already seen the gravitational force of the star at the surface will also go on increasing in proportion with the increase in its density. Thus increasing, it becomes so great that it will be difficult for any object (even light) to escape from its surface. Ultimately, its density (and hence, its gratitational force) will become so great that even the subtle object like a photon (light particle) will not be able to flee out from it. Not only this, but any other object which comes within its field of gravitation, will also be attracted by the star towards itself.
According to the theory of relativity, nothing can travel faster than light. Thus, if light can not escape, neither can anything else; everything is dragged back by the gravitational field. So one has a set of events, a region of space-time, for which it is not possible to escape to reach a distant observer. This region is what we now call
a black hole.
As the black hole is so much black, it cannot be seen by any means or equipment. Still its gravitational force can be experienced. The black hole, which is surrounded on all sides by the shining objects like stars etc., is like a pit (hole) in which, if any object falls, it can not come out. Thus, the name black hole is quite significant.
According to the scientific speculation, the number of such black holes in the universe is very great. One of such black holes is in our galaxy which is called "Sygnus X".
Comparison of Black Streaks with Black Holes
From the above description, it becomes clear that new black holes are created in the universe, whereas from the description of tamaskāya and kṛṣṇarāji, it appears that they are, in a way, eternal objects; they are not created anew. It means that although there are similarities in the kṛṣṇarāji and the black holes, both are not one and the same.
From the above description, it also becomes clear that both tamaskaya and
Page #443
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 6:5:70-119
- 419 :
krsnarāji are said to be black, with black appearance, grave, causing horripilation, terrifying and pitch dark in colour, on one hand; while in scientific concept, on the other hand, any stellar object or light cannot pass near the black hole. If it passes, it would fall into the pit and become absorbed in it.
The shape of krsnarāji is triangular, quadrangular or hexagonal; the tamaskāya in the beginning is a linear extension like a row of one pradeśa width and rising up it takes the shape of a cage of a cook, which means that it becomes quadrangular. From the figure given in the Vrtti, this can be inferred.
According to the scientific belief, after becoming steady, the shape of the black hole is spherical.
See-the figure of tamaskāya and krsnarāji in the appendix no. 5. For more information about tamaskāya, see, Bhagavai 14.25-27.
1. The information given here about black holes is based on A Brief History of Time by Stephen W.
Hawking, 1988 2. There exists a force of attraction between any two objects of the world; this is known as "gravitational
force". The heavier object will attract the lighter object towards it, if the difference in their masses is very big. This is why the earth attracts the objects existing on the earth towards it. For example, when anything is dropped from above, it falls down on the earth.

Having expanded his soul-units, such soul is born as a god of an Anuttara Vimāna (highest heaven) of very vast dimensions, in one of the vimānas of the highest heaven among the five Anuttara Vimanas. Does such soul, O Lord, after reaching there appropriate nourishment, transform it and start building his body?

1. Sūtras 120-127
The detailed description of the seven infernal lands and many abodes has been already made the Bhagavati, 1.212-215. In the present dialogue, they have again been mentioned in connection with the maraṇāntika samudghāta, i.e., his death."
The soul, expanding his soul-units near death-time, returns to the present body, after reaching the place of future birth. It is an important secret of parapsychology, which has been widely discussed by the parapsychologists of the twentieth century on scientific basis. One of them, in his book "Death after Death" has given the account of Dr. George Ritchie in this context, which is worth contemplating.
In the present dialogue, Gautama Svāmī has asked Lord Mahāvīra three questions about the soul undertaking the māraṇāntika samudghāta: does such soul reaching its place of birth appropriate nourishment, transform that nourishment and start building its body? In answer, the Lord said. "The maraṇāntika samudghāta is undertaken twice in life. Some souls by the process of expansion of the soul-units take birth at the new place. They do appropriate nourishment at the first samaya (indivisible time-unit) of new birth, transform it and begin building their new body. Some souls having reached that place return back without appropriating nourishment,

Bhagavai 6:6:120-128 transforming it, and building the body. Such souls undertake the process of expanding soul-units second time and at that time, they take birth there and appropriate nourishment, transform it and start building their body." This rule is common to all living beings belonging to the groups (dandakas) of infernals up to that of the Anuttara Vimānas (highest heavens).
The abodes of the two-sensed beings etc. are in a particular part of cosmos. The abodes of the one-sensed beings are all over the cosmos; therefore, they are said to take birth in the whole cosmos up to the terminus of the cosmos, except the śrenī (linear space) of one dimension of one space-point width near the boundary of the cosmic space throughout. The reason is that, because every soul requires at least innumerable number of space-points to stay in, it would take birth in the space avenue which is of "many" (i.e., not one) space-points dimensions--that is, of innumerable number of space-points dimensions. Srimajjayācārya has shown aneka as antonym of eka. According to him, the word aneka stands for innumerable. Semantics bālāgra-For the words bālāgra etc., see the Bhäsya on Bha. 6.134.

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 129-131
In the present dialogue, grains have been divided into three categories—first is cereals, second is pulses, third is oily seeds.
The maximum duration of the reproduction power or sprouting capacity of these three categories is respectively 3, 5 and 7 years, the minimum being antarmuhürtta (the period between two samayas (indivisible time-units) and one samaya less than 48 minutes) for all. The duration of their sprouting power depends on the management of their conservation.
The dialogue describes an ancient technique of the conservation of grain. Barns, granaries, raised platform and stores in mazzanine floors were constructed to conserve the grains. Grains were kept in them and their openings were covered with a lid and besmeared with cow-dung; then they were sealed by lac and marked by lines.
The Ayurvedic treatises describe five kinds of grains--Sāli Dhānya, Vrihi Dhānya, Sūka Dhānya, Simbi and Ksudra Dhānya. The brown rice, etc. fall in the

Bhāsya 1. Sutra 132
In the Anuyogadvāru Sūtra four types of pramāna have been mentioned: dravya pramāna, ksetra pramāna, kāla pramāna, bhāva pramāna.' The kāla pramāna is of two kinds-pradeśa nişpanna and vibhāga nispanna. The starting point of vibhāga nispanna period is samaya (indivisible time-unit) and the last point of that period is pudgalaparāvartana (the time it takes all karmika particles to undergo their complete course of binding and falling from the soul). In the present dialogue, there is exposition of measurable (numerable) time. However, there is no mention of samaya there. The starting point of measurable time is samaya. See the following table: Samaya
= The ultimate indivisible unit of time Innumerable sumayas = One avalikā Numerable āvalikās = One exhalation Numerable avalikās = One inhalation One inhalation-exhalation = One prāna 7 prānas
= One stoka 7 stokas
= One lava 77 lavas or 48 minutes One muhūrtta 30 muhurttas
= One day and night 15 days and nights = One fortnight 2 fortnights
One month 2 months
= One rtu 3 rtus
One solstice 2 solstices
=' One year 5 years
= One yuga 20 yugas
= One hundred years 8400000 years
= One pūrvānga 8400000 pūrvāngas = One purva = 8400000 x 8400000 =
70560000000000 years 8400000 pūrvas
= One truțitānga From truțitānga upto sirsaprahelikā, each succeeding number is obtained by multiplying the preceeding number by 8400000. Thus calculated, the sirsaprahelikā comes to be the number—-758263253073010241157973569975696406218966848080183296 with 140 zeros appended to it. The whole number consists of 194

-: 431 :digits. There were two opinions about sirsaprahelikā. According to the Māthuri synod, the number sirsaprahelikä consists of 194 digits (54 digits followed by 140 ciphers). According to the Vallabhi synod, it consists of 250 digits (70 digits followed by 180 zeros). In the present dialogue, the reading of the Māthūrī synod has been followed. In the Thānam, Anuyogadvāra and Jambūdvīpaprajñapti the number given is in accordance with the Mäthürī synod. In the Jyotiskaranda, the number is given in accordance with the Vallabhi synod. For detailed knowledge of the topic, see the note on Thānam, 2.381-389. The monks expert in the knowledge of the pūrvas-the earlier lore, used this number for different purposes. In the Anuyogadvāra Cūrņi two objectives referred to this number have been stated. The number between antarmuhurtta and pūrvakoti (=1 pūrva x 10) years were requi-sitioned for measuring the life-span with reference to the period of religious conduct of humans and sub-humans. If a person has the life-span of one koți pūrva and if he becomes monk at the age of nine, he can practise his religious discipline of one pūrva koți years less by nine years.
The numbers between trutita and sirsaprahelikā were used for measuring the life-span of infernals, mansion gods and Forest gods.(For elaborate discussion on the units of time, see Bhāsya on Bha. 6.134). Semantics Samudaya-samiti-su māgameņam-samudaya means coalescing. Samiti means “knit together". Many samudayas make one samiti. Samāgama means union. Many samities together make one samāgama. The samudaya-samiti-samāgama of innumerable samayas is called avalikā. Hatthhasa--contented. Anavagallassa-free from any ailment, free from ageing.' Niruvakitthassa-free from mental afflictions, one who is never afflicted with any disease. 8
In times of mental tension, mental affliction and sickness the number of respiration increases, so respiration of such person is not valid for measuring the muhurtta. This is very important for measuring time-unit as well as respiration in Preksā Meditation

- 435:Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 133,134
The period of time-units from āvalikā up to śirsaprahelikā is the subject of numerical mathematics—amenable to measurement through calculation. Beyond that, the further measurement of time-period is made through comparison (upamā). That is why it is designated as the time subjected to comparisons (aupamika kāla), which is of two kinds-palyopama and sāgaropama. The starting point of the description of aupamika kāla is the paramānu (atom) of pudgala. The paramāņu of pudgala is of two kinds: subtle and empirical. In the present context, the subtle paramānu is not intended to be described. An infinite number of subtle paramānus make one empirical atom. It can not be cut or pierced even by the sharpest weapon. For detailed description of such atom, see Anuyogadarāim, Sūtras 396-399. Abhayadevasūri says that the impossibility of cutting and piercing by any weapon is applicable also to the ultimate (transcendental) atom (naiścayika paramāņu). Here, however, in the context of the topic of measurement, it is the empirical atom that is intended.
In the present Sūtra, we get the reading of the text as anamtānam paramānupoggalānam, whereas in the Aņuogadārāim, the reading of the text is "anamtānam vavahāriyaparamāņupoggalānam". Abhayadevasūri explains paramānu (given in Bhagavati's readings) as an empirical atom. The following table provides a comparison of the Bhagavati and Anüyogadārāim texts on the topic: Bhagavati 6/134

A comparative study of the measurement of kāla has been provided in the Viśvaprahelika' which is quoted gereAvalikā: Jaghanya-yukta-asamkhyāta (a category of innumerable number which is calculated through a definite geometric series) samayas (smallest (ultimate indivisible) time units-instants) make one avalika ( a micro-unit of time-measurement, which consists of innumerable samayas). The value of jaghanya-yukta-asamkhyāta is equal to jaghanya-parīta-asamkhyāta (it is also a category of innumerable number which is calculated through a definite geometric series) raised to the power jaghanya-parīta-asamkhyāta. (16777216 avalikās make one muhurtta (48 minutes)). Prāna: (one complete breath, i.c., one inhalation and exhalation of air):44462458 avalikās make one prana. Time consumed in a single breath, i.c., inhalation as well as exhalation of air, by a young, healthy and (physically) powerful man is known as one prāna.

Bhagavai 6:7:133-134
-: 439:Units of Uncountable Time
From samaya to śīrşaprahelikā are the units of countable time. In reality, countable time-units go beyond sīrşaprahelikā," but as they transcend the limit of empirical mathematics, sīrsaprahelikā is considered to be the highest countable time-unit.
The units of countable time are defined by similies. They are broadly classified into two:
(1) Palyopama (pit-measured time-unit)
(2) Sāgaropama (ocean-measured time-unit) Palyopama
A cylindrical pit or well is known as palya. The value of palyopama is explained by the simile of palya. We get different versions of palyopama in the Svetāmbara and Digambara traditions. According to the Svetāmbara Tradition2
There is a cylindrical pit measuring one yojana each in length, breadth and height based on utsedha angula. It is made cram-full with the billions of hair-tips of humans of devakuru-uttarakuru region. Before calculating the number of hair-tips, filled in pit, we have to calculate the volume of the cylinder.
The base of the cylinder is circular. Area of circular base = ter(where r is radius).
Volume of the cylindrical pit == trịh (where h is height). In this equation, the value of ., taken into account, is- %. According to the table of space-units
1 yojana = 7,68,000 utsedha-angulas. There are 8? hair-tips of humans of Devakuru-Uttarakuru region in one utsedha-angula space. Therefore,
1 yojana=87x 7,68,000 hair-tips of Devakuru-Uttarakuru humans. 14 [Since the diameter (further denoted as d) is one yojana.]
d = 87 x 7,68,000
.:. r=
- 8' x 7,68,000
[: his equivalent to d over here. So]
h = 87 x 7,68,000 Volume of the cylindrical pit = trịh
= 19 x (8°x 7,68,000)

= 3.3 x 10% approximately,
So, the number of hair-tips of Devakuru-Uttarakuru humans filled in the cylindrical pit is 3.3 x 1036.
The hair-tips are taken out of it in four ways.16 On the basis of these different ways, palyopamas are of four types:
1. Badara Uddhära Palyopama
Every samaya, a single hair-tip is removed from the cylindrical pit. The total period of time that elapses for emptying it completely is called bädara uddhära palyopama. It is actually only formal palyopama, because its value is under countable time-units.
Bhagaval 6:7:133-134
Removing a single hair-tip each samaya, the cylindrical pit will get emptied in 3.3 x 1036 samayas. So we come to the conclusion that one badara uddhāra palyopama = 3.3 x 1036 samayas.
2. Sükşma Uddhära Palyopama
Each hair-tip (referred to in the above definition) is cut into innumerable pieces and the cylindrical pit is made cram-full with these hair-pieces. Every hair-piece is innumerableth fraction of the subtlest part visible by naked eyes. Every samaya, such piece is removed from the pit. The total period of time that elapses for emptying it completely is called sūkṣma uddhāra palyopama = {(3.3 x 10%) x innumerable} samayas.
3. Bädara Addha Palyopama
Each hundred years, a single hair-tip is removed from the cylindrical pit of the size mentioned above. The total period of time that clapses for emptying it completely is called bådara addha palyopama. As the value of this palyopama remains to be in countable time-units, so it is also only a formal palyopama.
Removing a single hair-tip every hundred years, the pit will be emptied in 100 x 3.3 x 10 years. In this way, one badara addhā palyopama
100 x 3.3 x 10 years
= 3.3 x 1038 years
4. Sūkṣma Addha Palyopama
Each hair-tip is cut into innumerable pieces, as in the sakṣma uddhära palyopama. After every hundred years, a single piece is removed from the pit. The total period of time that elapses for emptying it completely is called sükṣma addhā palyopama. In this way, one sükṣma addhā palyopama

Till now, in the description of cylindrical pit in the Śvetämbara tradition, the calculation of yojana, taken into account, was based on utsedha angula but here while dealing the conception of the Digambara tradition, it is to be understood in accordance with pramäṇa angula.

4.13 x 10 cube of hair-tips of humans of uttama bhoga region. approximately.19
In this way, the number of hair-tips filled in the cylindrical pit = 4.13 x 10".
The hair-tips are taken out of it in three ways. On the basis of these different ways, palyopamas are of three types:
1. Vyavahāra palyopama
Every hundred years, a single hair-tip is removed from the cylindrical pit. The total period of time that elapses for emptying it completely is called vyavahāra palyopama. This is just a formal palyopama because its value is under countable years. Removing a single hair-tip every 100 years, pit will get emptied in 4.13 x 10" x 100 years. Therefore vyavahāra palyopama = 4.13 x 10 x 100 years.
2. Uddhara palyopama
Each hair-tip (as described above) is cut into a number of pieces equivalent to the number of samayas in uncountable crore years and the cylindrical vessel or pit is made cram-full with these hair-pieces. Every samaya, a single piece is removed from it. The total period of time that elapses for emptying it completely is called uddhära palyopama. In this way
1 uddhāra palyopama = (4.13 x 10") x (number of samayas in uncountable crore years) samayas

So,
1 uddhāra palyopama = (4.13 x 1044 x 10' x a.) years
= (109 x a.) vyavahāra palyopamas. 3. Addhā Palyopama
Each hair-piece, as described in uddhāra palyopama, is cut into a number of pieces equivalent to the number of samayas in uncountable years. The cylindrical pit is made cram-full with these pieces. Every samaya, a single piece is removed from it. The total period of time that elapses for emptying it completely is called addhā palyopama. In this way, the number of hair-pieces filled in the pit

We get two equations in the Digambara tradition which indicate relations between time-units and space-units. In these equations, log, is used. Modern name of Chedaganita is logarithms.20
In the first equation, the relationship between sūcī angula ( a linear space-unit) and addhā palyopama is described as follows:21 sūcī angula is equal to addhā palyopama raised to the power logarithm to the base, addhā palyopama.

sūcī angula = (addhāpalya) log, addhāpalya
What should be the units of sūcī angula and addhāpalya is not given here, but by logic (reasoning)22 we find that they should be pradeśa and samaya because both of them are the units of measurement of space and time respectively. In this way, if sūcī angula be x pradeśa and addhāpalya be 'p' samaya, then
x=p (logp)
Second equation relates jagaśreņi (the cosmic row of space-units which measures seven rajjus) and addhāpalya.23 Jagaśreņī is equal to ghanāngula (a three dimensional space-unit) raised to the power logarithm to the base two innumerableth fraction of addhāpalya.
log, addhāpalya Jagaśreni = (ghanangula) innumerable Here, ghanāngula means cube of sūcī angula, i.e., cube of the number of pradeśas of sūcī angula.

According to Svetāmbara Tradition

For the explanation of samudaya and samiti, see Bhāsya on Bha. 6.132.26 Samsrsta (Samsatthe)—cram-full. Samnicita (Samnicie)--packed fully to make it densify. Nor do they decay (no kucchejjā)—the hair-tips filled up in the pit do not become decayed or spoiled. The Vrtti has given two reasons:
[1] The hair-tips are so densely packed that there is no gap at all between them (they are almost air-tight).
[2] As there is no scope for air to enter, they (the hair-tips) do not become decayed, or get spoiled.27 A Complete Cycle of Time
The empirical time is obtained only in the region which consists of 2% islandsoceans and covers completely the human-world (i.e., the world inhabited by human beings) on account of the fact that the motion of sun, moon etc., takes place only in this region. Again, some parts of this region (the human world), viz., Bharata and Airāvata are relatively more influenced by the solar system and hence, they undergo changes with time. As a result, a cycle of evolution and involution goes on revolving; this is respectively called "utsarpiņi" and "avasarpini" 28
According to Akalanka, during the utsarpiņi and avasarpini, there is gradual enrichment and deterioration respectively in the experience of munificence of consumable and non-consumable goods, the life-span and the size of the body.29 According to the Jambuddivapannattī, during the utsarpiņi and avasarpiņi there is infinite times gradual enrichment and deterioration respectively in the basic material properties of colour, smell, taste, touch, bone-structure, karma (action), strength, energy, purusakāra, parākrama.30 Akalanka has shown this transformation to be due to the influence of time. But this does not solve the problem. In reality, the geographical condition, the environment of the earth and the radiations from the solar system also become instrumental in bringing about the universal transformation in the region referred here.
The space (region) and time, which are responsible for the creation of environment are of three types (1) snigdha (viscous), (2) ruksa (dry) and (3)

snigdha-ruksa (viscous-cum-dry). It is said in the Nisītha-Cūrni that longer lifespan in the region of Devakuru and Uttarakuru and in the period of susama-dusamă aeon (i.e., aeon of supreme plenty) is due to the spatial and temporal (environmental) viscosity respectively.52 According to the Jambuddīvapannatti, when the time is dry, the lunar cold and the solar heat increase.33 Prior to the age of Lord Rsabha, there was viscous time, so fire could not be produced. According to Acārya Hemacandra, fire was originated (for the first time) on the advent of viscous-cumdry time.34
The cycle of transformation (that is, evolution and involution) in the continents of Bharata and Airāvata is due to the transformation in the degree of viscosity and dryness of time. This cycle has been divided into 12 aeons of the descending and ascending time-cycles. The aeon is called ara (lit. spoke). As there are spokes (ara) in the wheel, there are aeon-spokes in the metaphorical cycle (wheel) of time. During the descending time-cycle, there is a gradual dwindling of the six aeon-spokes; whereas in the ascending cycle, there is a gradual prospering.
The evolutionists like Darwin have propounded the doctrine of evolution of species; the authors of the Agamas did not believe in evolution alone, they propounded both cycles--that of evolution and that of involution. (Darwin's theory of evolution is only in respect of the biological evolution of the species; whereas the theory of time-cycle of avasarpini and utsurpini, as propounded in the Jain Āgamas, speak of gradual enrichment and gradual deterioration with respect to all the phenomena of nature as described above). The following tabie gives the classification of the six acons in the avasarpini and utsarpini each of one timecycle:
Descending Cycle - From Evolution to Devolution

How did, O Lord, the continent of Bharata appear with respect to its features and (people's) states in the excellently developed aeon of supreme plenty during the current descending cycle in the Island of Jambüdvīpa? Gautama! the appearance of the) land of the continent of Bharata was very delightful on account of the evenness of its surface, just like the parchment stretched over the opening of a hand-drum of the ālingī variety. Here the description of uttarakuru is to be brought from (the Jīva. 3.578-79; or Jambū 2.7).... up to there were indeed many inhabitants of the Bharata continent as men and women (flora and fauna), who used to reside, sleep, stand, sit, turn sides while lying down, laugh, play and make merry there. In that aeon, different parts and regions of the continent of Bharata here and there were spread over by many trees like Uddāla, Koddāla...... up to the clean treeroots free from the grasses like Kusa and Vikuśa...... up to the heredity of six races of humans prevailed, viz., [1] humans with (natural) fragrance of lotus, [2] humans with (natural) fragrance of musk, [3] unselfish humans [4] vigorous and handsome humans, [5] tolerant and powerful humans and [6] humans free from hustle-bustle.
Bhāsya
1. Sutra 135
The present dialogue delineates the condition of the ara (aeon) of supreme plenty in the descending cycle. At the time, the surface of the earth was perfectly even.

Semantics
Uttimaṭṭhapatta-the excellently developed period from the standpoint of the life-span etc.' The same expression is found in Bha. 7.117. Agarabhava-padoyāre-manifestation (appearance) of shape (features) and mode (states of people).2
Bahusamaramanijja-the expression means 'delightful (attractive) on account of the perfectly even (smooth) surface. The Vṛtti explains bahu as 'very much, but in the context of alinga (hand drum) the most relevant meaning appears to be 'almost' (prāyaḥ). Alinga-pukkhare-opening of the drum. There are three kinds of hand-drums (1) ankī (2) alingi (3) urdhvaka.
(1) Anki--The shape of this kind of hand-drum is like that of marybalan, that is, it is thick in the middle and thin on both ends.
(2) Alingi-Its shape is like that of the cow's tail, that is, it is thick at the one end and tapering on the other.
(3) Urdhvaka-Its shape is like the grain of barley, that is, it is symmetrical from top to bottom.
Pukkhara (puşkara) means 'the mouth of the drum'. Abhayadevasūri explains it as 'The surface of the mouth of the drum'.4 Uddāla-a kind of tree. Sebesten plum.5 Latin-Cordia Wallichi G. or Cordia Myxa.
Bhagavai 6:7:135
Koddala-a kind of tree, having red flowers. Latin-Bauhinia purpurea linn. Kusa-a variety of grass called darbha (Latin-Eragrostis Cyno Suroides Neauv).
Vikusa-a variety of coarse grass called balvaja.
Vissuddha-here the contextual meaning of visuddha is 'devoid of".
The meaning of kusa-vikuśa-viśuddha is 'devoid of grass like kusa and vikusa.7
Anusajjittha-heredity prevailed.8
2. Pamhagandha
sanimcārī
There were six races of human beings as follows:
(1) pamhagandha-human race with natural fragrance of lotus.
(2) miyagandha-human race with natural fragrance of musk.
(3) amama-unselfish human race.
(4) tetali-vigorous and handsome human race.
(5) saha-tolerant and powerful human race.
(6) sanīmcārī-human race free from hustle and bustle, because they were free from curiosity.9

the infernal lands (such as gem-hued etc). In the higher heavens (above the first fiveheavens), and the black streaks, the Sūtras concerning gross water-bodied (beings), gross fire-bodied (beings) and gross vegetation-bodied (beings) are to be understood.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 137-150
The gem-hued land is the first amongst the seven infernal lands. Its thickness is 1,80,000 yojanas.' Underneath it, there are no houses, shops, moons, suns, planets, constellations and stars; nor there is the lustre of moons and suns; nor there are gross fire-bodied (beings). The exception to this rule is that during the transit, when the aparyäpta sūksma prthvikāyika jīva, (i.e., the subtle earth-bodied soul in the state of unaccomplished bio-potential), which dies at the eastern border of the second pebble-hued infernal land, after undertaking the (māraṇāntika) samudghāta (i.e., expansion or projection of the soul-units outside the body impending death), in order to take reincarnation as aparyāpta bādara agnikāyika jīva (i.e., the gross fire-bodied soul in the state of unaccomplished bio-potential) in the samayakşetra (the region where the empirical time prevails)—the human world, has to pass through the gem-hued infernal land. Under such circumstance, it is said that there is gross fire-bodied beings underneath the gem-hued infernal land.
Like the absence of fire-bodied beings, underneath the gem-hued infernal land, there is also the absence of earth-bodied beings. But the Sūtra is reticent about this absence. Abhayadevasūri, in this connection, writes that propounding of the negation of that which is not existing at that place is not always necessary in the Sūtra."
In the Bhagavati, in connection with the Saudharma and īśāna heavens, there is explicit mention of gross earth-bodied beings with the fire-bodied beings.
In the Thānam, three causes, each of the calamities of draught and excessive rain, are mentioned. One of these causes is the wrath of a deva (god), nāga (serpentine), yakșa (treasure-keeper) or bhūta (devil).
The following table gives the description about the rain, the thunder and their doer underneath the seven infernal lands and the 12 heavens:

The third, fourth and fifth heavens are situated on dense air. How can waterbodied (beings) and vegetation-bodied (beings) be possible underneath them? According to Vrtti, on account of the mass of darkness, gross water-bodied (beings) and gross vegetation-bodied (beings) are possible there.?

Bhagavai 6:8:137-150
-: 455 - The sixth, seventh and eighth heavens are situated on dense ocean and dense air.
The remaining eighteen heavens-beginning from the ninth-are situated on space. There is no gross water-bodied (beings) and gross vegetation-bodied (beings) underneath them.
If the sixth, seventh and eighth heavens are situated on dense ocean and dense air, how can there be the absence of gross water-bodied (beings) and gross vegetationbodied (beings) underneath them? Abhayadevasūri and Srimajjayācharya have solved the problem by pointing out that immediately under these heavens, there is dense air and beneath it is dense ocean. So, on account of the dense air, the existence of gross water-bodied (beings) and gross vegetation-bodied (beings) have been prohibited there. In the Pravacanasāroddhāra, the situation of the heavenly vimānas have been described as follows:"The vimānas of first two heavens are situated on dense ocean.
"The vimānas of the next three heavens are situated on (dense) air, the vimānas of the next three are on (dense) air and ocean. All the higher heavens are situated on pure space.
"This is the description of the situation of the vimānas of the upper region."0

How many varieties of life-span-bondage, O Lord! have been propounded? Gautama! six varieties of life-span-bondage have been propounded, viz.,(1) jāti-nāma-nişiktāyuşya-almost impervious life-span-determining karma which has been fused peculiarly with the body-making karma quâ jāti (sensebased species). (2) gati-nāma-nişiktāyușya-almost impervious life-span-determining karma which has been fused peculiarly with the body-making karma quâ gati (realm of mundane existence). (3) sthiti-nāma-nişiktāyusya--almost impervious life-span-determining karma which has been fused peculiarly with the duration of the body-making karma. (4) avagāhanā-nāma-nişiktäyusya-almost impervious life-span-determining karma which has been fused peculiarly with the body-making karma quâ avagāhanā (size of the body). (5) pradeśa-nāma-nişiktäyusya-almost impervious life-span-determining karma which has been fused peculiarly with the quantum of the body-making karma. (6) anubhāga-nāma-nişiktāyuşya—almost impervious life-span-determining karma which has been fused peculiarly with the intensity of the body-making karma. Such sixfold bondage is possible in all the 24 soul-groups from infernals to Empyrean gods.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 151
There are eight types of karma, out of which the fifth is 'life-span-determining karma', and the sixth is the body-making karma'. The material clusters of the lifespan-determining karma are responsible for the vital energy of the living being. The life-span of the next birth is determined in the present one (with the bondge of life-span-determining karma).' Simultaneously with the binding of life-spandetermining karma, six other karmic clusters pertaining to body-making karma, which determine the different aspects of life, are bound.
(1) Jāti-nāma karma (body-making karma quâ species classified on the basis of availability of sense-organs)-The sub-type of body-making karma determines the number of senses from one to five of the species in the next birth.
(2) Gati-nāma karma (body-making karma quâ realm of mundane
Page #481
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 6:8:151
-: 457 :existence)-The sub-type of body-making karma determines the order of mundane existence, viz., infernal, sub-human, human or celestial.
(3) Sthiti-nāma karma (body-making karma quâ duration of birth)-The duration of life is determined by the sthitināma karma.
(4) Avagāhanā-nāma karma (body-making karma quâ the type of the body-The type of the gross and protean bodies are determined by the avagāhanānāma karma.
(5) Pradeśa-nāma karma (body-making karma quâ mass or quantum)—The mass or quantum of the material clusters of life-span-determining karma is determined by the 'pradeśanāma karma'.
(6) Anubhāga-nāma karma (body-making karma quâ intensity)—The karmika clusters of the life-span-determining karma are determined by the 'anubhāga-nānakarma'.
The first moment of a new life is the first moment of the rise of the life-spandetermining karma. The rise of the body-karma pertaining to species, realms, etc. synchronise with it, which are coeval with the life-span karma, in respect of origination and cessation. It means that the rise of the body-making karma quâ jäti etc. begins with that of the life-span-determining karma and also ends with it.
Simultaneously with the bondage of body-making karma quâ realm, other sub-types of body-making karma are also bound. Their detailed description is found in the work Sataka.?
At the moment of the bondage of karma, simultaneously with the bondage of life-span-determining karma, there occurs the impervious (nidhatta) state, also called nişikta state, of the body-making karma, quâ jāti etc. So, impervious life-span fused with body-making karma quâ species based on senses has become a variety of "life-span-determining karma'. The second and the third varieties being gati-nāma-nişikta-āyusya and avagāhanā-nama-nişikta-āyusya (i.e., impervious life-span fused with body-making karma quâ realm, and impervious life-span fused with bodymaking karma quâ types of body-making karma—respectively). Karmika duration, quantum and intensity of fruition are the parts of bondage, which are related to the bondage of every kind of karma.
There is a law of sequence of karmic rise, according to which all karmic clusters do no come into rise (effect) simultaneously. Had it been so, there would occur no karmic fruition in the immediately successive moment. Under such circumstance, the bondage quâ duration (sthiti-bandha) would be futile. 'The natural law pertaining to the rise of karmic fruition' is as follows
The formation of a peculiar structure of groups of karmic clusters called nișeka takes place before the karma comes into the state of ‘rise quâ fruition' (vipākodaya). Such peculiar structure called niseka comes into rise every moment successively.* At the beginning of the karmic fruition, the amount of material clusters constituting a 'nișeka' is relatively greater than that in the subsequent period. Thus, there is a
Page #482
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

-: 458 :
Bhagavai 6:8:151-152
gradual decrease in the quantity of niseka. The process of niseka continues till the end of the duration of karma."
In the six varieties of life-span given above, 'species' and 'realm' are the subtypes of body-making karma. There is no mention of "avagāhanā" among the subtypes of body-making karma. Abhayadevasūri has explained avagāhanā as 'body'? (gross and protean bodies). Thus, avagāhanā-nāma karma has been recognised as śarīra-nāma-karma which is a sub-type of body-making karma. There is insertion of the expression ‘nāma' in all the six phrases-jāti-nāma-niddhatāyuska, etc.. Abhayadevasūri gives two meanings of nāma
(i) parināma—transformation of the soul and
(ii) năma-karma-body-making karma)
Although, sthiti (duration), pradeśa (quantum) and anubhāga are not mentioned anywhere as the sub-types of body-making karma, yet there is possibility of the sub-types of body-making karma other than those mentioned.

There are eight karmika karaṇas (operations) viz., (1) bondage (bandha) (2) transference (samkramana) (3) augmentation (udvartanā) (4) diminution (apavartanā) (5) premature realization (udīranā) (6) subsidence (suppression) (upaśamanā) (7) almost imperviousness (niddhatti) (8) total imperviousness (nikācanā).
The seventh operation here is--almost imperviousness. It meansimperviousness to all operations other than augmentation and diminution in duration and intensity of karmic clusters.
The souls which are subject to the operation of niddhati (almost imperviousness) or nişecana (peculiarly fused) with the karmika sub-types of body-making karma viz., jāti (sense-based species), gati (realm) etc. are called the "jāti-nāma-niddhata' (i.e., binders of almost imperviously bound body-making karma quâ jāti (sense-based sepcies), 'gati-nāma-niddhata' (i.e., binders of almost imperviously bound body-making karma quâ gati (realm) etc..
'Niyukta-Abhayadevasūri has identified niyukta with nikācita'. This is the state of most firmly bound (i.e., totally impervious) karma. Jāti, gati, avagāhanā [here, which stands for the type of body-audārika (gross) or vaikriya (protean)], nāma (body), gotra (status) and āyuşya (life-span) including sthiti (duration), pradeśa (quantum) and anubhāga (intensity of fruition) of these karma--these are the principal facets of birth-and-death. So, on the basis of them, 72 combinations to describe the soul as almost impervious or totally impervious binder of karma can be formed.

Gautama! it is for this reason that it has been said that the external oceans are full, full to the brim, overflowing, over-swelling, and evenly full of water. The structural configuration of those oceans is of the same shape (i.e., ringshaped), but their extension is of diverse dimensions, the width of each ring ocean being progressively double than the preceding ring (of continent) (i.e. in geometric progression) ...... up to (Jīvā. 3/259) in this horizontal world, there are said to be innumerable continents and oceans terminating in the Svayambhūramaņa Ocean, O Long-lived Ascetic!

Bhāşya
1. Sūtras 155-160
According to Jain geography, in the middle region of the cosmos (horizental world), there are innumerable (continents and) oceans, the Lavana Ocean being the first and the Svayambhūramana Ocean, the last. There are flow-tides and ebb-tides (agitated water) in the Lavana Ocean; in the external oceans which are outside the region of the empirical) time (i.e., where the empirical time due to the motion of the luminous bodies like sun, moon etc. prevails), the water level always remains the same (or even), and un-agitated, there being no tides. There takes place rain in the Lavana Ocean, but the external oceans are devoid of rain. The souls that have water as their birth-place take birth and die in the water of the ocean. (Also, the pudgala (i.e., material clusters of water) get produced and destroyed).
For detailed information about the innumerable continents and oceans in the middle-region, see Jīvājīvābhigame, 3/972-975. For the word Volattamāna, etc., refer to the Bhāsya on Bha. 1/312-313.

The Topic of Bondage of Types of Karma
How many types of karma does a soul, O Lord! bind, while binding the knowledge-covering karma?
Gautama! it binds seven types or eight types or six types. The section on bondage of karma from the Pannavana (pada 24) is to be understood here.
Bhasya
1. Sūtra 162
There are eight principal types of karma, which are bound simultaneously or independently, according to circumstances, which have been explained in the 24th pada of the Pannavaṇā. In the present Satra, it has been mentioned very briefly. The life-span-determining karma is bound only once in the whole life. At other times, the soul binding the knowledge-covering karma binds the rest of seven types of karma, which implies that at the moment of binding the life-span-determining karma the soul binds all the eight types of karma. At the 10th state of spiritual development, [when the soul is possessed of only subtle passion (in the form of greed)] there is no binding of life-span-determining karma and deluding karma," implying that there only six types of karma are bound.
It should be noted here that while binding the feeling-producing karma, the soul may bind 7, 8, 6 or only one, viz., the feeling-producing karma.2

Bhagavai 6:9:163-166 The Topic of Exercise of Protean Power by Gods (Devas) of Great Fortune Is a god who is endowed with great fortune ...... (see 3.47) up to great power, O Lord! capable of creating a protean body of one particular colour and one particular form, through exercising his protean power without appropriating the external material clusters? Gautama! this is not possible. 6.164 deve nam bhamte! bāhirae poggale pariyäittā pabhū egavannam egarūvam

Gautama! he exercises his protean power not by appropriating the material clusters of this world, he exercises his protean power by appropriating the material clusters of that world, and he exercises his protean power not by appropriating the material clusters of any other place. The same paradigm is applicable to the four alternatives, viz., (i) one colour, one form (ii) one colour, many forms (iii) many colours, one form (iv) many
colours, many forms. 6.166 deve nam bhamte! mahiddhie jāva mahānubhāge bähirae poggale apariyāittā

Is a god who is endowed with capability of transforming a black colour into a blue colour, or vice versa, without appropriating the external material clusters? Gautama! this is not possible. However, he is able to do so by appropriating the external material clusters.

He transforms it not by appropriating the external material clusters of this world; he transforms it by appropriating the external material clusters of that world; he does not do so, by appropriating the material clusters of any other place.
In the same way, he transforms the black material clusters into red material clusters. In the same way, he transforms the black material clusters into other colours...... up to the white. In the same way, he transforms each of the other four colours into the other four colours ...... up to white. In the same way, the same pattern should be applied to the varieties of smell, taste and touch.
Bhāṣya
1. Sūtras 163-167
In the present dialogue, the power of protean creation and the governing principles are described. The body of the gods is protean by birth. They can, by their protean body, create diverse forms, but not without appropriating the external material clusters belonging to protean class. See Bhasya on Bha. 3.186-192.
There are three alternatives about the external material clusters (that may be appropriated)
1. ihagata-external material (protean) clusters that are situated in this world, i.c., the region where the propounder is present (human world).
2. tatragata external material (protean) clusters that are situated in that world i.e., the region where the god is present (world of gods).
3. anyatragata-external material (protean) clusters that are situated in the place other than mentioned in the first two above.
The god who exercises the protean power create protean bodies of diverse forms only by appropriating protean material clusters that belong to the second alternative-tatragata.
The diverse forms created by the protean power can be classified in four ways—

Transformation in matter can take place spontaneously by nature or can be brought about by extraneous force, i.e., an endeavour of a soul, endowed with such capacity. (Cf. psychokeinesis in parapsychology). A black colour may get transformed into a blue colour spontaneously without extraneous cause. And similarly blue can get transformed ..... up to red. In the occult technique of solar science, there is the mention of the modus operandi of transforming colour, odour and form. The present Sūtra seems to give hint to its basic principle.

ihagata-lit. it means, "situated here." According to the Vṛtti, it means situated near the prajñāpaka i.e. the propounder. But Srimaj Jayācārya has explained it as "situated in this world of humans."
tatragata-lit. it means, "situated there". It would mean-'situated near the region where the god undertaking protean phenomena stands'. It means that world (the world of gods). Situated in the world of gods, who are exercising the protean power. anyatragata situated in the place other than the above two.

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 168,169
Abhavayadevasüri in the Vrtti explains avisuddhalessa (skt. avisuddhalesyah) as 'a clairvoyant with deluded world-view'.' Malayagiri, however, explains it as 'one endowed with black leśyā (psychic colour), etc., (which are inauspicious)'. According to Thānam, the three impure leśyās are- black, blue and grey. Thus, the Thānam corroborates the opinion of Malayagiri.
Abhayadevasūri, in this context, explains samavahata as attentive, asamavahata as unattentive and samavahata-asamavahata as partially attentive, partially unattentive. In the present āgama, we get the reading-veuvviya samuggahaenam samohayam (with expanded soul-units through the exercise of protean expansion), which is explained, in the Vrtti as 'one who has created the protean body'. According to Malayagiri, samavahata means one engaged in the samudghāta (expansion of soul-units) due to experiencing pain, etc., 'asamavahata' as--'free from such samudghāta' and samavahata-asamavahata as-'one who has started the process of samudghāta due to experiencing pain etc. but yet has not completed the process'-i.e. he is the partial expander.
In the Thānam, both the reading ‘samavahata' and 'vikuvvita' are mentioned together, in connection with āhohi (skt. adhovadhi)-clairvoyance confined to a limited region. In the Sthānanga Vrtti, Abhayadevasūri explains samavahata as 'a person who has engaged himself in the protean or any other form of samudghāta (expansion of soul-units)' and asamavahata as 'one, free from the act of expanding soul-units'. He has related the expression samavahata-asamavahata to the exposition of above two terms—The clairvoyant who has capacity to know limited region, sometimes engages himself in expanding the soul-units and sometime does not, in order to know the object. This exposition of samavahata-asamavahata is different from that given by Malayagiri. The Thānam, however, does not mention the person endowed with suddha leśyā and aśuddha leśyā. There, the soul possessed of limited

Bhagavai 6:9:168-169
- 471 :clairvoyance is mentioned in connection with the expression samavahata and asamavahata. In the present context of Bhagavatī, the exposition of Malayagiri is more appropriate.
In the Thānam, the topic of viuvvia is given immediately after the topic of samavahata. According to the Vrtti, this means 'one who has created the protean body by means of the vaikriya samudghāta (protean expansion of soul-units)'. 11
In the present Āgama, in connection with knowledge and intuition, there are a total of 12 alternatives--six pertaining to the god who is avisuddhaleśya and six to one who is viśuddhaleśya. In the Jivā. also, 12 alternatives are available. According to the present Āgama, the souls in 8 alternatives do not know/see; according to Jiva., however, the clairvoyance in the last 6 alternatives does know/see. See the tableBh

According to Abhayadevasüri, the clairvoyant in the first six alternatives (no. 1 to 6) is possessed of deluded world-view; so, he does not know. In the next two 2 alternatives (no. 7, 8), pertaining to the person who is viśuddhalesya, the clairvoyant, although possessed of enlightened world-view, is unattentive, so he does not know.14 According to Malayagiri, however, the clairvoyant (god) being vissuddhalesya, knows and sees, through his genuine knowledge and intuition. No obstruction in knowing/seeing is created by expansion of soul-units.s
The negation of knowing and seeing in two alternatives (no. 7 and 8) pertaining to the god who is visuddhalesya in the present Agama, and affirmation of knowing and seeing in the Jivajivabhigama signify diverse readings in the two synods on Agama texts.
yes
Why does the god who is viśuddhalesya, in the first two alternatives (no. 7 and 8) does not know and see, whereas in the remaining four alternatives (no. 9 to 12) he does know and see is an enigma that needs investigation. Perhaps, in order to resolve it, Abhayadevasüri explains asamavahata as 'unattentive'.

For what reason is it so?
Gautama! this continent of Jambudvipa which is situated at the centre of all the continents and oceans is said to be 100000 yojanas in diameter and 316227 yojanas and 3 kosas and 128 dhanusas and a little more than 13, angulas in perimeter.
Now a god of great fortune...... up to great power, taking a perfume casket, full of cosmetic (powder), opens it and having opened (spreads the powder all over), while circumambulating 21 times the entire continent of Jambudvipa and returning back in as short a time as is taken by three times. snapping the thumb against the finger, pointing in a cursory way to the continent of Jambudvipa. Now, O Gautama! as a result; is not the entire continent of Jambudvipa touched by those fragrant particles? "Yes, they are touched."
Gautama! can anybody make tangible even those fragrant particles by enlarging them to the size of the stone of the berry, a grain of motha, a round gram, a black gram, a green gram, a louse and an egg of a louse? "Not, it is not possible (O Lord!)."
"It is for this reason, Gautama! that it has been said that nobody can make tangible the pleasure or pain ...... up to egg of a louse. (Same as in 6.172)."
Bhāṣya
1. Sutras 171-173
Pleasure and pain are the sensations, which can not be made tangible like the material clusters, by changing their size to any dimension whatsoever.
In Rajagṛha, some heretical philosophers were propounding the doctrine that the pleasure and pain of all the inhabitants of Rajagṛha could not be made tangible like the stone of a berry etc.. These heretics were probably materialists and their doctrine probably implied that the sensations of a larger number of souls could be made as tangible as the material objects like the stone of a berry etc., which were of smaller size but still were tangible.
In reply to Gautama's query about this heretical doctrine, Lord Mahāvīra said "It is not the question of all inhabitants of Rajagrha alone; but even the pleasure and pain of all the living beings in the entire cosmos are not capable of being made tangible by reducing them to the smallest possible entity. The reason is that sensations are possible only in souls, which are absolutely different from material entity. The material entity (even very small size) can be made tangible to some extent, but knowledge, sensation and experience being the characteristics of non-corporeal soul can not be made objectively tangible by any means whatsoever.
The physiological manifestations of the sensations of pleasure and pain could be objectively measured through psychological phenomena, perception, inference

and even micro-photography (or high-frequency photography like Kirliean effect), but they (sensations) cannot be displayed in the form of any material entity.
This doctrine of intangibility has been illustrated by the defusion of the fragrant particles. Even the spread of the fragrant particles all over the continent of Jambūdvīpa which has the diameter of 1 lakh yojana and the circumference of more than 3 lakh yojanas by a god, travelling with super-luminal speed to traverse more than 6300000 yojanas in a second which is higher than the velocity of light (which is about 300000 kilometers per second) cannot be made tangible, so also, the sensations of pleasure and pain cannot be objectively displayed. (1 yojana is, in no case, less that 12.8 kms). Semantics kolasthiga (kolatthiga)---kola + asthiga = the stone of a berry.
According to Apte, kolam is a kind of berry and kolā is badari (jujube). Vrtti has explained it as kuvalasthika. For the meanings of nipphava, masa, etc., see Bhāsya on Bha. 6.126-131. accharanivaehim-snapping the thumb against a finger.

1. Sutras 174-182
The soul is a substance, possessed of quality, consciousness being its characteristic quality. The substance (possessed of quality) is a substratum of quality.
Page #502

~: 478:
Bhagavai 6:10:174-183
There is universal concomitance between a substance and its quality. The soul is a substance and consciousness its quality; so they are identical, of course, not absolutely. Attribute can never be absolutely different from the substance. There are many qualities in a substance (like soul), consciousness being one of the qualities of soul-substance. Thus the independent existence of soul is established, as distinct from other substances like matter, space, etc. Consciousness is exclusively a quality of the soul, and not of any other substance. Hence, the soul-substance is distinct from other substances. Now, when we consider 'consciousness' and 'soul' from the stand-point of 'relationship between a quality and a substance', consciousness and soul can also be said to be different from one other. In the language of non-absolutism, it can be said that soul and consciousness are identical in some respect and different in some respect.
In the present dialogue, the universal concomittance of consciousness and soul has been laid down-the soul is necessarily consciousness and consciousness is also necessarily soul.
Humans, sub-humans, gods and infernals are not simultaneous modes of the soul, as they relate to different periods of time. So, their concomitance with the soul is only unilateral. So the human etc. are necessarily 'soul', but the soul is not necessarily a human, a sub-human, etc.
Secondly, the relationship between 'soul' and 'its state of living being' has been distinguished. That which 'leads a life' is necessarily a soul. The main condition of leading life is the life-span-determining karma. The non-living substances are devoid of life-span-determining karma, so they cannot be said to lead life. What is a soul may be one leading life or may be one not leading life. What is soul is said to lead life on account of his life-span-determining karma, but the soul that is devoid of life-span-determining karma is not said to lead life; the liberated soul is distinct from the souls in four realms of mundane existence-humans, sub-humans, infernals and celestials.' The liberated soul has no präna (the vital energy). thus, we see that the living human being is necessarily a living being leading life. But that which lives is not necessarily a human being; he may be an infernal or a sub-human, or a god.

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 183-185
Among Indian philosophers, some uphold the doctrine of 'universal suffering'. For instance,.it is asserted by Patañjali, "dukkhameva sarvam vivekinah”. _ That 'every thing is suffering for a conscientious person', which presents the attitude of the Sankhya philosophy. Among the four noble truths of Buddhism, suffering is the first, according to which the whole world is burning in fire, there being no occasion for pleasure. The Sāmkhya, the Jain and the Buddhist all three belong to the Sramana tradition and are upholders of the doctrine of suffering'.

Jainism, however, as a believer in non-absolutism, does not accept that it is only suffering that prevails in worldly life. In the present dialogue, the feeling of suffering has been considered from the standpoint of relativity (vibhajyavāda). The infernals experience pain almost exclusively, but occasionally, they experience pleasure also, for example, on the occasion of the birth of the jina. The gods, on the other hand, mostly experience pleasure, but some times pain too. The sub-humans and humans experience both pleasure and pain miscellaneously-sometimes pleasure, sometimes pain.

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 186
Every worldly soul appropriates the material clusters for all its activities. The query here relates to the space where from the soul appropriates the material clusters. There are three alternative spatial areas related to the soul in this connection:
1. The space occupied by the body of the soul itself. 2. The space in immediate proximity to the space occupied by the body of
the soul.

PREFACE
Every śataka of Bhagavatī is a treasure of cyclopaedic knowledge of diverse fields of learnings including metaphysics, folk-sciences, ethics, science of karma, non-absolutism and the like. As a matter of fact, it is not at all a treatise on a specific subject, but is written in the style of 'catechism', with queries on various topics made miscelleneously.
In the present Sataka also, we find some important discussions, a few of which are as follows:
Motion of soul - Body is the means of motion of soul. A liberated soul soars up to the abode of liberated souls. The question is: How does an unembodied soul moves? What is the propelling force behind it? This, really, is a very significant problem in the field of philosophy. We get its solution in the present Sataka, which is endorsed by the Tattvārthādhigama Sūtra. In the present Sataka, we get six causes of the motion of a liberated soul, which are substantiated with some illustrations, In Tattvārthādhigama Sūtra, four causes of the motion of an unembodied soul are given and four illustrations are given to make them clear.2 As Jain philosophy believes the soul to have the same size as body, it is imperative for it to deliberate over the problem of soul's motion after liberation. Nyāya-Vaiseșika schools of philosophy hold the soul to be ubiquitous, and hence, for them also it is equally necessary to think over the same problem.
Permanence Vs. Transitoriness - In the philosophical field, diverse propositions on permanence and transitoriness are available.
According to Sāmkhya philosophy, the Jīva is absolutely non-changable. On the other hand, the Buddhists assert it to be transitory. Bhagavān Mahāvīra has described soul from the non-absolutistic view-point, and hence, both of the above views become acceptable in the perspective of two different standpoints (nayas). From the standpoint of substance or existence, the Jiva is eternal, but from the standpoint of mode (transformation) it is non-eternal. Thus, by reconciling the doctrine of permanence with that of transitoriness on the basis of two nayas, a tradition of reconciliation has been established in the field of philosophy.
The Vedānta school of philosophy asserts that the whole world is nothing but the prapanca (illusion). Individual soul is only the extension of the Universal Soul. Jain philosophy neither believes in iśvaravāda (Deism), nor in Brahmavāda (Pantheism) nor in Ekātmavāda (Monist Spiritualism); hence, it does not believe that all (individual) souls are merely the extension of the Supreme Soul. Nevertheless, there is a point of reconciliation-human, animal, bird etc. are all modes, vivarta

Bhagavai 7:Preface
(modifications), but not existence in itself). All of them are eternal from the standpoint of current (collective standpoint), but non-eternal from the individual standpoint.
Environmental Pollution - The prophecy in the present Sataka, about the forthcoming epoch of extreme unhappiness (duhsama-duhsamā) of the present descending time-cycle, is quite significant in the light of the present problem of environmental pollution.
Equivalence of a Microbe and an Elephant -- Kunthu (a sort of a microbe) is a very tiny insect and the elephant a huge animal. Both of them of course are jīvas (living beings). The question then is quite evident whether the soul of kunthu is equivalent to that of the elephant or smaller than the latter. The difference in the size of the body raises a question regarding the difference in size of the soul (which embodies it). The answer to this can be understood through the Jain principle which asserts that every soul is possessed of innumerable pradeśas (the ultimate indivisible soul-units) which are equal.? Another principle is that the mundane soul has the same size as that of its body. The third principle is that there is a sort of elasticity in the soul's pradeśas--they can expand and contract.
Now, some philosophers believe that the soul is ubiquitous (vibhu), whereas some others believe it to be of the size of an atom or a thumb. The issue of soul having the same size as the body has remained one of the philosophical debates. For example, Madhvācārya has critically examined this issue. There are mainly two arguments forwarded by him--
1. An yogican embody many bodies at a time. In that condition the concept of "size of soul as same as that of body" becomes untenable.
2. The soul which has the size of the human body in this life can not reincarnate in the body of the elephant (which is larger). Similarly, it would not be possible for the soul of an elephant to enter after reincarnation in the body of an ant. If the principles of protean body (vaikriya sarīra) and expansion (or projection) of soul-units outside the body (samudghāta)" would have been present before Mādhvācārya, the refutation of the principle of the size of soul as same as the body' would not have been made on the basis of arguments presented by him. Since, every soul is possessed of the capability of expansion and contraction, it can make the whole body, whether small or large, animated with its soul-units. 12
War between Koņika and Cetaka - The war between King Cetaka, the head of the Vaiśālī Republican, and King Koņika (Ajātaśatru) of Magadha has remained obscure in the history of India. The description given here shows that the result of this war was against the concept conducive to encourage war, Against the popular concept that one who meets with heroic death in the battlefield attains heaven hereafter, the theme of the present chapter is "War is not instrumental to attainment of heaven hereafter."'13
Automatic Mechanism of Fruition of Karma-A very important discussion on this subject is found in this Sataka. According to one concept of the deism (theism), the fruition of good or evil karma done by one is given by God. Since Jain philosophy
Page #511
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 7:Preface
-: 487 :is not accepting deism, it is confronted with a problem—if there is no God (Almighty), then how the fruition of karma will take place. No one would like to undergo the fruition of his evil karma. The solution to this intricate problem is--nature. The internal processes are autonomus. There are two components of the nervous system-voluntary and autonomous. The fruition of karma also comes through autonomous process.
When Kālodāyī asked Bhagavān Mahāvīra the question on fruition of karma, the latter made clear the subject through an illustration. Bhagavān Mahāvīra said, "O Kālodāyī! suppose some person eats up agreeable food, well-cooked in a pot and enriched with eighteen varieties of dishes, but mixed with poison; such food seems beneficial (or wholesome) at first appearance, but afterwards, in course of time, the more the poison undergoes assimilation, the more it would become lethal. In the same way, O Kālodāyī, whatever evil (sinful) karma like killing etc. are there, they all appear beneficial at first appearance, but by and by, in the course of their transformation they produce their pernicious fruition-conducive to suffering.
"Further, suppose another person eats up agreeable up to ...... eighteen varieties of dishes, mixed up with salutory medicinal herbs, such food, at first appearance may seem insipid, but in the course of time, would result in healthiness.
"Just as the fruition of food mixed with poison and medicine is automatically obtained, in the same way, the fruition of auspicious and inauspicious karma is also automatically obtained---no external agency is needed to interfere for giving the fruition."14
In this way, it can be seen that various principles are propounded in the present Sataka, revealing many mysteries of metaphysics.

Bhagavai 7:1:1 (dandaka) are to be spoken of, excepting that the souls-in-general and the one-sensed beings, at the fourth samaya, are necessarily ingester of nourishment, while the remaining soul-groups are so at the third samaya.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 1
There are four kinds of nourishment: 1. Oja āhāra- Sap 2. Loma āhāru-- Nutrients obtained through the pores of the skin 3. Praksepa āhāra-Oral nourishment (or alimental food) 4. Manobhakşi āhāra-Nourishment obtained through by merely wishing. The soul (living being) who ingests the nourishment is called 'ingester of nourishment', while one who does not do so is called 'noningester of nourishment'.
Sap-nourishment is ingested by the embryo in the first antarmuhūrtta (i.e., within 48 minutes) of conception. That is followed by the nourishment through the pores of the skin (after the completion of bio-potentials) that continues up to the end of life. The oral nutrition (or alimental food) is ingested as meal (through morsal, gulp or sip etc.).
Ingestion of nourishment by every embodied soul is invariably concurrent with the activity of body, speech and mind (i.e. till the end of the 13th state of spiritual development), without which life cannot function.
The non-ingestion of nourishment is an exceptional event, taking place on two occasions, viz., transit from one birth to another and expansion of soul-units by some Omniscient Lord before attaining liberation. In the present Sūtra, only the transmigratory motion (i.e., motion in-transit) has been taken into consideration. Such motion is of two types—1. Straight motion-horizontal or vertical without any turn. 2. Motion with turn(s). The soul which has to travel in 'straight motion' only, reaches the place of birth in one samaya only (See fig. 1 & 2). If the place of birth is situated at a place, which is to be reached with one turn, the transit takes two samayas (See fig. 3). If the place of birth is to be reached with two turns, then the transit takes three sumayas (See fig. 4). Maximally, the transit may take four samayas. Thus
(1) When the transit of the soul is in straight motion to the birth-place, then in the first sumaya of the next life-span, it is 'ingester of nourishment'. When the transit of the soul is with turn or turns, in the first samaya of the next life-span, the soul is ‘non-ingester of nourishment'. From these two contexts, it follows that at the first samaya, sometime the soul is ingester and sometime non-ingester of nourishment
(2) (i) When a soul takes two samayas in transit with one turn', it is noningester of nourishment in the first samaya and the ingester of nourishment in the second samaya.
[ii] When the soul takes three samayas in 'transit with two turns', it is noningester of nourishment in the first and second samayas and ingester of nourishment
Page #515
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bhagaval 7:1:1
in the third samaya.
From the above two contexts it follows that at the second samaya, sometime the soul is ingester and sometime non-ingester of nourishment.
(3) [i] When a soul takes three samayas in 'transit with two turns', it is noningester of nourishment in the first and second samayas and the ingester of nourishment in the third samaya.
[ii] When a soul takes four samayas in 'transit with three turns', it is ingester of nourishment in the first samaya and non-ingester of nourishment in the second and third samayas.
From the above two contexts, it follows that at the third samaya, sometime the soul is ingester and sometime non-ingester of nourishment.

Bhagavai 7:1:1
Abhayadevasūri has, however, asserter that the soul in transit with turns is non-ingester of nourishment in all the first the samayas.' He quotes another opinion according to which in the motion in-trans. of five samayas (with four turns), the soul is non-ingester of nourishment for the first four samayas.
The versions of Tattvārthādhigama Sūtra pertaining to the topic of noningestion of nourishment differ. The Sūtra [2/30 (in Tattvārtha Rājavārtika)] of the Digambara tradition) reads--"ekam dvau trinvā (a) nāhārakah"-"the soul in-transit remains without nourishment for up to and including three sumayas."
Akalanka in his commentary on this Sūtra, asserts that the soul is non-ingester of nourishment in the first three samayas.?
The Svetāmbara version of the text (Tattvārthādhigama Sūtram, Sabhāsya Tīkā, 2/31) reads-"ekam dvau vā (a) nāhārakah”—"the soul in-transit remains without nourishment for one or two samayas."
Siddhasena Gaṇī, in his commentary on this sūtru, has explained that in the transit of three samayas with two turns, the middle samaya is without nourishment, and in the transit of four samayas with three turns, the two middle samayas are without nourishment.
Śrimajjayācārya has reviewed the opinion of Abhayadevasūri and supported the doctrine that the jīva can not remain without nourishment for more than two samayas. In the Pannavanā and the Jivājīvābhigame; it is mentioned that two samayas is the maximum time for remaining without nourishment.
According to Malayagiri, the commentator of these two Agamas, this text is relatively true, because the transit with turns is mostly of the duration of two or three samayas. If is from this standpoint, that there is the mention of two samayas of non-ingestion."
The gist of the above discussion is summarised in the table. (See table on page no. 522).
The view of Siddhasena Gani and Srimajjayācārya that in the transit of four samayas, the first samaya is with nourishment is based on the Pannavanā and Jīvājīvābhigame, which mention 'two samayas' as the non-ingestion period. But it is not easy to reconcile the argument given by Abhayadevasūri which asserts that because there is absence of material clusters appropriate for nourishment during the motion in transit before the arrival at the place of rebirth, the first samaya of the transit is without nourishment. If the first samaya in the transit motion of two or three samayas is without nourishment, then how would the first samaya during the motion in transit of four samayas is with nourishment?
During all the motion in-transit with turn or turns, Siddhasena Gani, considers the first samaya with nourishment. This is logically compatible from view-point of uniformity in considering first sumaya as always with nourishment. This, however, is not compatible with the Sūtra under consideration, according to which, the first samaya is also sometimes without nourishment. Abhayadevasūri has considered all the sumayas before arrival at the place of rebirth as 'without nourishment'. This is logically quite consistent. What is the logic behind considering the first samaya in

the transit of two or three samayas without nourishment and on the contrary, to consider the same first samaya in the transit of four samayas as with nourishment? The Agamika dictum that a soul can not be without nourishment for more than two samayas during the motion in transit, compels us to endorse the aforesaid view. Malayagiri has solved the issue through use of relative view-point and hence, there should not be any difficulty in accepting the relative view-point.

Gautama! At its first samaya (the embryo) and the last samaya of its lifespan, the soul ingests the minimum quantity of nourishment. All soul-groups up to the Empyrean gods are to be described similarly.
Bhāṣya
1. Sutra 1
At the first and the last samayas of its life-span, the soul ingests the minimum quantity of nourishment. At the first samaya, the gross-body (the embryo) is not built, so the soul ingests the minimum nourishment. At the last time of its life-span, the soul-units undergo withdrawal, resulting in its occupation of the least number of space-points; so at that samaya, it ingests the least quantity of nourishment. In the intermediate samayas, the soul ingests larger quantity of nourishment.

Bhagavai 7:1:4-5 from passion), but is informed with passions. It is for this reason that it is said that he is not involved in an instantaneous activity, but he is involved in an activity informed with passions.
Bhāṣya
1. Sutras 4, 5
There are three sutras that deal with airyäpathiki kriyā (i.e., instantaneous activity free from passions)-1. samvṛta sūtra (inhibition sutra), 2. anayukta sūtra, 3. yathasutra, utsutra.' The subject matter, of 'inhibition sutra' is that a self-composed, self-guarded and self-aware ascetic is engaged in instantaneous activity free from passion. The subject matter of the anayukta sutra pertaining to the person who is not self-aware is that the person who is vitaraga-free from passionsinvolves himself in 'instantaneous activity free from passions', whereas the person who is avitaraga-not free from passions-is involved in sämparäyiki kriyā (i.e... activity informed with passions). The person behaving strictly according to the prescriptions of the scriptures (yathasutra) is involved in the instantaneous activity, whereas the person involved in activity which is against the prescriptions of the scriptures (utsutra), subjects himself to the activity that is informed with passions." There is an integration of subject-matter of both the above mentioned sutras in Bha. 7.125, 126-the sutras pertaining to a self-inhibited ascetic.
(Now, here is an interesting point for discussion:). Even an ascetic, who he is. not free from passions is not capable of instantaneous activity free from passions, it is evident that a householder cannot become capable of such activity. Why then, the question has been raised whether the householder who is the lay follower of the kramanas can engage in 'instantaneous activity free from passions', while practising sāmāyika, or not.
The Sutra (7.4) furnishes us with the justification of such question by indicating the background of the lay follower of the śramanas, engaged in the practice of samayika-such person is a follower of Sramanas; he is sitting far from the impious atmosphere of the house in the serene environment of the upasraya (the sojourning place of the ascetics) and is engaged in the practice of samayika (observance of equanimity by formally giving up all sinful activities); thus, the sanctified place, the benign presence of the ascetics and the spiritual practice of tranquillity-all the three factors contribute to the pacification of passions. Under such circumstance, it is quite consistent to raise the query whether the airyāpathiki kriya is possible for such pious person or only the samparayiki kriya is possible..
Lord Mahāvīra answered the doubt on the basis of the 'concept of adhikarana', [which states that intrinsically anyone who is not an ascetic is as good as an adhikarana (i.e., a weapon or implement of violence)] by pointing out that even though, at present, the passions of the lay follower are extrinsically subdued, yet his soul is possessed of adhikarana, that is to say, the instinctive urge to employ 'instruments of destruction' (adhikarana). Such a soul is possessed of 'adhikaraṇa' and hence it is always susceptible to activity informed with passions, it is not capable
Page #521
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 7:1:4-6
-: 497 :
of instantaneous activity free from passions.
Abhayadevasūri has explained adhikarana (instruments of destruction) as plough-share, vehicle, etc. which give refuge to passions. Although the follower of the Sramana Order is observing the performance of sāmāyika, his relationship with the instruments of destruction has not ceased altogether; so his soul is adhikarani (i.e., possessed of adhikarana), and as such, he is not capable of engaging himself in instantaneous activity free from passions.
We can explain the term 'adhikarani'--the instinctive urge of employing the instruments of violence (physical and volitional) on the basis of non-abstinence, which is more relevant here. To Gautama's query to the Lord 'whether the soul was only adhikarani-the operator of the instrument of violence or also itself the adhikarana—the instrument of violence', the Lord replied that it was both. This is because the soul of the lay follower of the Srumana Order, even when he is practising sāmāyika, is not free from the instinct of non-abstinence. 'Instantaneous activity free from passions' is not possible for him who is still adhikarana himself.
Srimajjayācārya has elaborately expounded the nature of 'adhikarana'.
We may conclude that the purport of the present Sūtra is that the purity of soul cannot be ascertained on the basis of the external state of the soul. The basis of such ascertainment is the intrinsic vibrations (pure state) of the soul, whether they are free from the vicious instincts of non-abstinence or strongly rooted in the virtue of abstinence. Although the lay follower of the Sramana Order, when practising sāmāyika is externally completely calm and quiet, his volitional vibrations are vitiated with non-abstinence and passions, and so, in the spiritual sense, his passions are neither subsided nor annihilated and as such his activity cannot be airyāpathikī.

Bhagavai 7:1:6-7
The lay follower of the Sramaņa Order, O Lord! has already abstained from the acts of violence to the mobile beings, (but) he has not abstained from the act of violence to the earth-bodied beings (which are not mobile beings). Now, while digging the earth, if he happens to kill any of the mobile beings, does it, O Lord! amount to the transgression of his vow (of not killing mobile beings)? Such assertion is not consistent (O Gautama!) (i.e., his act does not amount to his transgressing the vow), because he did not intentionally indulged in
acts of killing the mobile being. 7.7 samanovāsagassa ņam bhamte! puvvāmeva vanapphaisamārambhe paccakkhāe.
se ya pudhavim khanamāne annayarassa rukkhassa mulam chimdejjā, se nam bhamte! tam vayam aticaruti? no inatthe samatthe, no khalu se tassa ativāyāe āuttati. The lay follower of the Sramana Order, O Lord! has already abstained from the acts of violence to the vegetation-bodied beings. Now, while digging the earth, if he happens to tear the root of any tree, does it O Lord! amount to his transgressing the vow (of not killing a vegetation-bodied being)? Such assertion is not consistent (O Gautama!) (i.e., his act does not amount to his transgressing the vow), because he did not intentionally indulged in acts of killing the vegetation-bodied being.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 6,7
There are many varieties of violence. Among them, the principal two are
(1) Wilful violence-to indulge in violence
(2) Unwitting violence—to indulge in violence unwittingly.
The background of Gautama's query in the sūtra is: A lay follower, takes the vow of abstaining from acts of killing wilfully any mobile beings. Now, while digging earth the soil in a mine, he happens to kill (accidently) a mobile being. With reference to such events, it was asked whether he was not the transgressor of his vow. In reply, it was said that there did not occur any transgression of the vow, as he had renounced only intentional killing. Exactly similar is the case of the lay follower of the śramanas who took the vow of abstaining from cutting the tree intentionally.
This time, the person, while digging the soil in a mine, happened to cut accidentally the root of a tree. Again, in relation to this event, it was asked whether the vow was transgressed or not. The same reply was given he did not transgress his vow; as the cutting of the root of the tree was not at all a wilful act-it was violence indulged in unwittingly (accidently). As this was not "wilful violence", it did not amount to the transgression of his vow. Unintentional killing is also a variety of violence; so if a mobile being is killed or a tree is cut even unintentionally, that is an act of violence. But such violence does not result in the transgression of the vow of abstinence from killing a living being wilfully.

The thing (food etc.) which is given is immaculate and eșaniya (acceptable for the ascetic, it being in conformity with the rules of accepting food etc.) being free from blemish. The recipient is a genuine śramana (or māhana)—ascetic. The query pertains to such immaculate däna free from blemish. The answer is: The lay follower of the Sramaņa Order provides the ascetic with samādhi (a feeling of serenity or composure or bliss felt on account of freedom from all kinds of perturbance, uneasiness and the like) as a result of his immaculate dāna (free from blemish) and as a result, the the giver (of dāna) himself gets the samādhi as a reward.
The word 'samädhi' (translated as serenity (or composure)) has many meanings. In the present context, the following meanings are appropriate— mental well-being or composure, repose (tranquillity), spiritual support.
In the present dialogue, the verb cayai has been used. The Vrtti gives two meanings of this word: to give (or provide with), the word tyāga stands for both—to give up, to give. Food is the source of life, so the person who gives food can be said to provide life. The second implication may be that food etc. are as dear as life. To give them is as good as giving life; so it has been characterised with difficult to part with' and 'difficult to do'.? Semantics phäsu-prāsuka, vide Bhagavati Bhāsya 1.438.

Bhāşya 1. Sūtras 10-15
In Sāmkhya philosophy, the soul has been considered as ubiquitous. The Nyāya and Vaiseșika philosophers also regard the soul as ubiquitous. According to Nyāya

Bhagavai 7:1:10-15
- 503 :
philosophy, the soul is neither of the shape of an atom nor of any intermediate shape, being as boundless as space.
According to Vedānta philosophy, only the Brahma is the ultimate reality and ubiquitous. So the motion of the liberated soul is out of the question. In Buddhism, the soul is an indeterminate entity. As such, the query about the liberated soul is quite irrelevant. In Jain philosophy, the soul is coextensive with the body. The abode of the liberated soul is at the top of the cosmos. The liberation of the soul takes place in the world of human beings, and on being liberated it soars up to the abode of the liberated soul.? Under such circumstances, the question cropped up before the Jain philosophy about the cause of the motion of the soul-It is the body which is the driving force behind the motion of soul. Then how is it possible that the liberated soul (which is akarma) which is without body can undertake motion? The Sūtra here advances four reasons to answer the query
1. Nissangatā etc.-(Nissangatā)-the freedom of the soul from besmearing or soiling by the karmic matter, nirañjanatā —immaculateness (untaintedness) of the liberated soul freed from and gati-pariņāma—the
innate mode of the soul for the upward motion. 2. Bandhana-chedana—The severance of the karmic bondage of the soul. 3. Nirindhanatā—The release of soul like smoke from the burnt out fule
(i.e., karmic charcoal). 4. Pūrva-prayoga—The antecedent impetus,
Let us discuss them in detail: 1. Nissangată, Nirañjanatā and Gati-pariņāma
The example of the gourd-fruit has been used to explain nissangată, niranjanatā, and gati-pariņāma.
A dried gourd-fruit, on account of its coating of clay sinks down in water to the bottom. When made clean of the coating, it rises up to the surface of the water. Similarly on being freed from karma, the soul soars up to the top of the cosmos.
Umāsvāti has given four reasons for the upward motion of the liberated soul.? Among them, the fourth reason is tathāgati pariņāma—the innate mode of soul for upward motion. The author of TBh. has defined a universal law that out of the two substances capable of motion, viz., matter and soul, matter (being possessed of the property of gravity) tends to pull downwards while the soul (being possessed of the property of freedom from gravity) tends to fly upwards by nature. The soul laden with karma may move downwards, horizontally sidewards or upwards; the soul, freed from karma, undertakes only upward motion; so the principal reason for the upward movement of liberated soul is the innate mode of the soul itself. 2. Bandhana-chedana
In the bound state, on account of effect of karma, the soul moves downwards, horizontally or upwards. In the freed state, on account of the severance of the bondage, the soul moves upwards. To explain this, the author of the text (Bha. 7/ 13) has given the examples of pods and fruit of castor-oil plant. In TBh., an illustration of basket of bamboo bound very tightly by a rope is also given.

Bhagavai 7:1:10-15
3. Nirindhanatā
The illustration of 'smoke' is given with reference to nirindhanatä---the burnt out charcoal. This is not mentioned in the Tattvārtha Sūtra. This is, however, comparable to tathāgati parināma 'the innate mode of the soul for upward motion', which has been illustrated by the flame of fire in SS. and TRV. Just as a flame of a lamp undertakes upward motion by nature, in the same way; the liberated soul soars up by nature. In our text (Bha. 7.14), the example of smoke has been given. 4. Pūrva-prayoga
The mavement of the liberated soul is due to the impetus derived from the antecedent kāyayoga (physical activity), on the eve of soul's departure (in the last samaya of the 13ih state of spiritual development). Immediately before liberation, in the 14th gunasthāna, there is no yoga (activity) of any kind, but even then, the impetus derived at the preceding gunasthāna prevails, which is responsible for the upward movement of the soul. Our text gives the example of arrow discharged from the bow to explain the antecedent impetus.
In TBh. and TRV, the example of potter's wheel is given.? As the potter rotates the wheel, which continues to rotate even after the potter has ceased to rotate it, so also a liberated soul moves upwards due to the antecedent impetus. Semantics akarma—free from karma. nissanga-free from the karmika coating. niranjana--free from dirt, free from attachment or colour.8 'samkhe eva niramgane'-'As spotless as a conch' is used as a simile for a monk in many Agamika texts. In Āgamiku texts, we find both nirangana and nirañjana;" the former is derived from the latter by replacing ja by ga. parikarma--mending (or preparing) through treatment. bhūtim-bhūtim-very much. The Vrtti explains it as again and again2.0 aporisiya—deeper than the height of man. An ancient measure of height or depth was one puruṣa, equivalent to 120 finger-breadths (1) finger-breadth = 0.65 inch. erandamiñjiyā—the fruit of the castor oil plant. Mimjiyä (Skt. majjā)---marrow. It means interior of the bone. As such, erandamiñjiyā is the fruit of castor-oil plant." The castor-fruit when ripe splits due to the heat of the sun, and as a consequence, the seeds spring upwards. 12 nirindhana--without fuel ( such as burnt out charcoal).

Bhagavai 7:1:16-20
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 16-19
According to the Sāmkhya Philosophy, soul is immutably eternal. There is no change or transformation in it. In the Sāmkhyakārikā, the doctrine of the soul as the non-doer has been accepted and the soul as a enjoyer has been propounded." Naturally the question crops up: How can what is immutably eternal and non-doer be the enjoyer of pleasure and pain? With reference to this background, Gautama asked: "O Lord! is the unhappy soul touched by unhappiness or is the happy soul touched by the unhappiness?"
The Lord answered: “It is only the unhappy soul that is touched by unhappiness”. The basis of this reply is the “pariņāminityatvavāda” (i.e., the doctrine of 'permenance-through-change'). According to Jain philosophy, the soul is an entity that is permanent-cum-changing. The soul always remains a soul, this is its eternality. There is however change in its mode—from this view-point, the soul is amenable to change, it is not eternal.
To become unhappy is not the ultimate nature of soul. It is a mode. The mundane soul has both the attributes-doership’ and enjoyership’, because it has not realized its natural (original) and pure character. It goes on binding karma and undergoes its fruition. On this basis, the doctrine is established that "It is only the unhappy soul that is touched by unhappiness.
Unhappiness has two meanings: (i) sinful karma (ii) feeling of dislike. According to Abhayadevasüri, karma is the cause of the unhappiness, so karma is called as unhappiness and so the soul is possessed of karma is called a unhappy
soul.3
1. The unhappy soul grasps unhappiness. 2. The unhappy soul makes the unhappiness to come into rise. 3. The unhappy soul experiences unhappiness.
4. The unhappy soul wears out unhappiness.
All these propositions are paradigms of the basic proposition that the unhappy soul is touched by unhappiness.

Bhagavai 7:1:20-21
~: 507 :
The Topic of Airyāpathiki Kriyā and Samparāyiki Kriya (the Activities that are free from passions (instantaneous) and those that are informed with passion (long-term))
Does' an ascetic, O Lord!' who inattentively walks or stands or sits, or changes sides while lying down, who inattentively picks up clothing, bowl, blanket and duster, indulge in airyāpathikī kriyā (instantaneous activity that is free from passions) or samparāyika kriya (long term activity that is informed with passion)?
Gautama! he does not indulge in airyäpathiki kriyä, but be indulges in sämparäyika kriya.
7.21 se keṇattheṇam?
goyamā! jassa nam koha-māṇa-māyā-lobhā vocchiṛṇā bhavamti tassa ṇam riyavahiya kiriyā kajjai, jassa ṇam koha-māṇa-māyā-lobhā avocchinna bhavamti tassa nam samparāiyā kiriyā kajjai. ahāsuttam rīyamāṇassa riyāvahiyā kiriyā kajjai, ussuttam rīyamāṇassa samparāiyā kiriyā kajjai, se nam ussuttameva riyati. se teṇattheṇam.
For what reason?
Gautama! airyāpathikī kriyā is possible only for the soul whose anger, pride, deceit and greed have been made inoperative. Only sämparāyiki kriyā is possible for the soul who has not made inoperative anger, pride, deceit and greed. The soul whose activities are strictly in accordance with the canon engages in airyapathiki kriyä, whereas the soul that indulges in activities that are incompatible with the canon is the doer of sämparäyiki kriya. The latter indeed behaves non-conformably with the canon. It is for this reason that his activities are sämparäyiki kriyä.
Bhāṣya
1. Sütras 20,21
In the present canonical text (i.e., Bhagaval), the airyāpathiki and sämparayikat kriyās (instantaneous and long-term activities) have been discussed from a number of view-points.' There are five items, concerned with the ascetics:
(1) There is instantaneous activity in the case of a atmna samvṛta (selfinhibited) ascetic-see 3.148.
(2) There is long-term activity in the case of an anayukta ascetic-indulging
in inattentive activity (such as going etc.)-see 7.20.
(3) There is instantaneous activity in the case of a samvṛta (inhibited) ascetic-see 7.125.
(4) "There is long-term activity in the case of an inhibited ascetic in the vicimärga (passionate path)-see 10.11,12.
(5) There is instantaneous activity in the case of an inhibited ascetic in the avīcimārga (non-passionate) path-see 10.13,14.

Bhagavai 7:1:20-21
"There is instantaneous activity in the case of an ascetic who has made anger, pride, deceit and greed inoperative. There is long-term activity in the case of an ascetic who has not made anger, pride, deceit and greed inoperative." From this Sūtra (7.21), the doctrine follows that three is long-term activity in the case of the sakasāya ascetic who has not subsided or eliminated his attachment and there is instantaneous activity in case of the akaṣāya or vītarāga ascetic who has subsided or eliminated his attachment (11h, 12th and 13th gunasthānas).
Umāsvāti has ascribed long-term activity to the soul with passions and instantaneous activity to the soul without passion." That there is instantaneous activity in the case of the soul without passions is an uncontroversial doctrine. Srimajjayācārya also has ascribed long-term activity to the soul with attachment and instantaneous activity to the soul without attachment. It deserves scrutiny whether instataneous activity is possible for a soul with attachment. Sidhasenagaội has recognised two types of akaṣāya---soul without passions vītarāga—free from attachment and sarāga—possessed of attachment. There are three varieties of vītarāga akaṣāya---soul without passions and free from attachment-(i) with subsided delusion, (ii) with eliminated delusion and (iii) the omniscient. Where there is no udaya (rise) of passions, but there is only samjvalana kasāya (flickering passions) then such sarāga is deemed as akasāya--soul without passion. That is an instance of sarāga akaṣāya-i.c., a soul with attachment and without passions. In support of this opinion of his, Siddhasenagani has quoted 122 gāthās from Ogha Niryukti. Dronācārya, in his Ogha Niryukti Vrtti, has said, "The monk who is knowledgeable and free from remissness does not bind long-term karma; if he happens to kill any creature by his physical activity, his bondage is only instantaneous. The Sūtra has used the terms 'made inoperative' (vocchinna) and *not made inoperating' (avocchinna) in connection with the four passions of anger, pride, deceit and greed. Here the word 'annihilated' (kṣīna) has not been used. The word vochinna (vyuvvhinna) therefore needs scrutiny. Patañjali has distinguished four states of klešas (afflictions) viz., dormant (supta), attenuated (tanu), disrupted (vicchinna) and arisen (udāra). Here vyucchinna is explained—when the afflications are disrupted intermittently—they do not always remain arisen.? Abhayadevasūri also has explained vocchinna as 'not arisen'. The opinion of the Ogha Niryukti as well as Siddhasenaganī is to be scrutinized in the light of the words vyucchinna and avyucchinna.
According to Siddhasenaganī and Droņācārya, the act of airyāpathika bandha (instantaneous binding) is available even in the case of the person with attachment when the passions are inactive (vyucchinna) in him. This diversion of opinion has been pointed out for further consideration.
A number of questions arise from the way in which the sūtrus (7.20,21) have been constructed:
(1) Anāyukta--the ascetic walking in a state of remissness has sāmparāyiki kriyā (long term binding). Anäyukta—the ascetic who walks in the state of freedom

from remissness also has sāmparāyiki kriyā (long term binding). If so, what is the implication of the query of Gautama and the reply of Mahāvīra.
(2) Yathāsūtra--the ascetic walking strictly in accordance with prescription of the scripture has airyāpathiki kriyā—instantaneous binding.
(3) Utsūtra--the ascetic walking in the manner against the injunctions of the scripture has sāmparāyiki kriyā (long term binding). Do all the 'ascetics with attachment' walk necessarily against the prescription of the scripture?
These questions encourage to consider critically the opinion of Siddhasenagaṇī.

Hence, for the Jain ascetic, six reasons for intake of food have been laid down as injunction (1) for satiating hunger, (2) offering service to the order, (3) restrained movement, (4) practising self-restraint (conduct) (5) sustaining life and (6) contemplating on the spiritual discipline.' Three modes of eșanā (i.e., proper and thorough investigation) are prescribed for the ascetic, with regards to collection of food etc., viz., (1) gaveşaņāparibhogeșana investigation with regards to acceptability of the food etc., (prior to acceptance of food) grahanaisenā paribhogesana-investigation with regads to the food etc. itself while actually accepting it, paribhogesana-investigation with regads to the mode of consuming the food etc..? There are five blemishes of the third mode of esanā (with regards to) consuming the food etc.-(1) attachment to food for its agreeable flavour (2) condemning food for its bad flavour, (3) mixing up ingredients like milk, yoghurt with molasses and ghee etc. in order to convert them into delicious food. (4) exceeding the prescribed quantity of drink and food (5) non-conformation to the six reasons prescribed for accepting and six from abstaining from food. In the Sūtras 22, 23 the first three blemishes have been discussed.
In the present dialogue, we get the exposition of both--the food etc. vitiated with these blemishes and free from them
(1) "Like-charcoal" (saangära)-eating food in an infatuated state of mind.
(2) "Like-smoke" (sadhūma)---to eat food in a state of anger.
The implication of these two blemishes is that the ascetic should not have attachment to agreeable food and aversion to disagreeable food.
(3) “Admixture" (samyojanā)--to mix other ingredients in order to make the food tasty. This prescription is for the practice of freedom for taste. Semantics

What' is, O Lord! propounded to be the meaning of drinks and foods that are kṣetratikrānta (violating the proper limit of region), kālātikrānta (violating the proper limit of time), mārgātikränta (the proper limit of path) and pramāṇātikrānta (the proper limit of measure)?
Gautama! the monk or nun, who accepts unblameworthy and acceptable foods, drinks, dainties and delicacies before sunrise and eats them after sunrise, violates the proper limit of region for consuming drinks and foods, O Gautama!
The monk or nun who accepts unblameworthy and acceptable foods, drinks, dainties and delicacies in the first quarter of the day and eats them in the last quarter of the day, violates the proper limit of time for consuming drinks and foods, O Gautama!

Bhagavai 7:1:24
- 513 :
The monk or nun who, having received the unblameworthy and acceptable foods, drinks, dainties and delicacies, eats them going beyond the distance of more than half yojana, (which is equivalent to two kośas i.e., nearly four miles) violates the proper limit of path for consuming drinks and foods, O Gautama! The monk or nun who, having received the unblameworthy and acceptable foods, drinks, dainties and delicacies, eats them in quantity, which measures more than (the prescribed quantity which is) thirty-two morsels of the size of hen's egg, violates the proper limit of the measure for consuming drinks and foods, O Gautama! One taking eight morsels of the size of hen's eggs is an eater of meager quantity. One taking twelve morsels of the size of hen's egg is an eater of less than half of the prescribed quantity. One taking sixteen morsel of the size of hen's egg is an eater of the half of the prescribed quantity. One taking twentyfour morsels of the size of hen's egg is an eater of somewhat less than the prescribed quantity. One taking thirty-two morsels of the size of hen's egg is an eater of the prescribed quantity. A nirgrantha (ascetic) eating even one morsel less than this is not to be described as 'greedy of tongue'. This is O Gautama! propounded to be the meaning of drinks and foods that are kşetrātikrānta, kālātikrānta, mārgātikrānta and pramāṇātikrānta.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 24:
There are four types of 'violation of limit'
(1) Kșetrātikrānta-Violation of the proper limit of ksetra (region)'begging food before sunrise and eating after sunrise'. In the Brhatkalpa' and Nisīhajjhayana, there is mention of only kālātikrānta and ksetrātikrānta, there being no separate mention of mārgātikrānta. In the Brhatkalpa Bhāsya, food brought from beyond half yojana has been designated as ksetrātikrānta. The diversity of opinion found in the Bhagavati, Brhatkalpa and Nisīhajjhayana deserves careful consideration. Abhayadevasūri had explained khetta as standing for tāpakşetra that is, day-time. The act of begging food before sunrise and eating it after sunrise should be considered as violation of proper limit of time. In this connection the dialogue on 'eating after sunset' in the Brhatkalpa and dialogue on 'eating in day and night', in the Nisīhajjhayana are worth notice.
(2) Kālātikrānta-Violation of the proper limit of time-It means eating in the last quarter the food begged is the first quarter. The prohibition of eating beyond proper limit of time has been made in order to prohibit hoarding the food. In the Niśīthabhāsya, paścima prahara has been explained as the carama prahara, i.e., the last quarter of the day. The Niśīthacūrni explains the carama as the 'fourth'. Relatively speaking the second quarter is the subsequent (paścimaquarter in relation to the first quarter, the third quarter is the subsequent quarter in relation to the

Bhagavai 7:1:24 second and fourth is the subsequent in relation to the third. Both these opinions have been mentioned in the Bṛhatkalpa Bhāṣya and Malayagiri Vṛtti.
(3) Mārgātikrānta-Violation of the proper limit of path-It means eating food after carrying it beyond half yojana (i.e., two kośa or nearly four miles) while-travelling on the path.
(4) Pramāṇätikränta-Violating the proper limit of measure-The human nature differs from person to person. The measures of food accordingly differ for each person, but even then on the average, a proper limit for them has been laid down. Thirty-two morsels have been given as the standard limit. To eat more than that is violating the proper limit of standard measure. The standard size of a morsel has been given as equal to hen's egg. The measures of food have been stated in the Ovaiyam in connection with the topic of dravya avamodarikā (i.e., the penance of curtailment in diet with respect to the quantity on intake of food)."

Bhāṣya
1. Sütra 25
In the present Sutra, the following five topics have been explained: the consumer of food, the types of food, the rules of consuming food, the measure of food and the purpose of food.
(1) The consumer of food-two distinctive characteristics of the monk consuming food have been pointed out: [i] he does not cook for himself. In ancient time, there were two main implements for cooking-fire and pestle, which a monk did not operate. [ii] he abstained from garland, fragrant powder and sandal paste. (2) Types of food (acceptable for an ascetic)
The following types of food are acceptable
Only lifeless food is acceptable by the ascetic. Such food might be lifeless by nature or made lifeless by cooking.
Food which is neither prepared by oneself for the ascetic nor ordered to others to be prepared for the ascetic.
While preparing the food, the householder should not have any intention to offer it to a monk.
Devoid of any invitation-If the monk is not given invitation such as-kindly take the daily food from my house".
Food that is not purchased for an ascetic. Food that is not prepared-for an ascetic.
Food that is pure in respect of nine ways, Food that is free from ten blemishes, and pure in respect of source, production and begging. The sixteen blemishes of source of food, the sixteen blemishes of production of food and ten blemishes of begging are given in the following table:

Sixteen Udgamadoșas-blemishes relating to origination.
1. Adhäkarma-[i] The food etc. produced with a view to entertaining a monk and which is impure on account of injury to living beings.
[ii] Preparing of food, shelter, etc. for a particular monk.
2. Auddesika-Food etc. prepared for distribution among heretical monks or orthodox monks.
3. Pūtikarma—The mixing up of pure food with impure one on account of being mixed with adhākarma, thus making the entire food impure.
4. Miśrajāta-Food prepared for both householders and monks.
5. Sthāpanā—Food deposited in another vessel from the cooking pot specially for offering it to monks is subject to this blemish. The reason is that the dispute may arise among the members of family regarding the article or the quantity so deposited, or the food itself may become unacceptable on account of its being rotten or infested with living beings.
6. Prābhrtika—Anything presented in honour is called prābhrta. For example, early or late celebration of marraige in view of the assemble of monks before or after the appointed day, witha view to entertaining the latter. As distinguished from the above circumstance which is called bādara, there is another instance called sūksma when householder asks his son to wait till the monk came. Such postponing of allowing the child to consume food makes the offer unacceptable to the monk, because the child may run to the monk and drag him to his house for offering food to him in order to satisfy his own desire for the same.
7. Prāduşkarana-Exhibition of food by transferring the container or food from the dark place or by the light of a lamp or a jewel or the removing the barrier or the curtain. The blemish lies in the fact that movements are involved for the offering,
Page #542

Bhagavai 7:1:25
8. Krīta—Food purchased for the monk. A feeling of excessive compassion for the monk is responsible for this kind of blemish.
9. Prāmitya (Prakrit-Pāmicca)-Food borrowed for a monk on promise of return with interest or otherwise.
These two or blemishes on account of their causing inconvenience to donor. 10. Parivartita—Food exchanged for a monk.
11. Abhihrta— What is brought by householder from a place beyond the range of three or seven houses in an avenue is subject to this blemish, because this is unusual, not approved by the norm, and is likely to involve injury to creatures.
12. Ubdhinna–Ghee, oil, molasses etc., offered by breaking the lid or unsealing the cask.
13. Mālāpahrta-Food brought down from an elevated place on which it was stored. The reason for this being a blemish is that the donor may fall down while climbing the elevated place on a stair case.
14. Acchedya-Food offered out of fear of the king or another powerful person entails this blemish. According to the Pindaniryukti, food snatched by force from others and offered as alms was subject to this blemish.
15. Anisrsta-Alms owned by a company of persons and given by one of the owners without consent of the co-partners. The reason for this being a blemish is that a dispute may arise among the company who owned the articles.
16. Adhyavapūraka-Food put in excess in a cooking vessel in view of the arrival of monks.
Sixteen Utpādanadoșas-faults pertaining to the ways adopted in obtaining food:
1. Dhātri-Alms, given to a monk in return for the nourishing work done by him.
2. Dūtī—Alms given to a monk who runs on errands for the house holder.
3. Nimitta-Alms obtained by fortune-telling such as foretelling happenings and reading omens and bodily science.
4. Ājīva—Alms secured by mentioning caste, family, clan, profession, etc., of the donor for rousing his sympathy. The reason for this being a blemish is that the monk belittles himself.
5. Vanīpaka-Food obtained by servile supplication by approving of the act of offering to dogs, crows, lepers etc. on the part of donor.
6. Cikitsā—Alms obtained by offering medical service, treatment etc. 7. Krodha—Alms obtained by expressing one's power of anger. 8. Māna—Alms obtained by displaying one's false pride or vanity. 9. Māyā-Alms obtained by trickery.
10. Lobha-Alms obtained by displaying one's excessive greed for the alms offered
11. Pūrva-paścāt samstava—Alms received by the donor or reminding him of his past donations is vitiated by this blemish, which also occurs if the monk
Page #543
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 7:1:25
-: 519 :praises the donor after donation. The blemish occurs if the monk refers to his old aquaintance with the donor.
12. Vidyā-Alms obtained by displaying or promising the gift of an occult science, acquired by monk by special effort.
13. Mantra- Alms obtained by giving charms and spells, or displaying their efficacy.
14. Cürna—Alms obtained by an offer of charmed powder for beautifying the body and cleansing the eyes. The charmed power may also be promised for making the donor invisible.
15. Yoga-Alms obtained by offering an oinment for the feet to enable the donor to walk on water or fly in the air.
16. Mülakarma—Alms obtained by such devices as prevention of conception, or conferment of fecundity, restoration of virginity etc.. The act of restoring conjugal relationship or restoring control over what has got out of it also falls in this blemish.
Ten Eşaņā (grahaņaişaņā)-blemishes pertaining to accepting food. 1. Samkita--Food suspected of any one of the following blemishes.
2. Mrakṣita-Pure food contaminated by live article on account of serving it with a hand besmeared with impure or unfit articles.
3. Niksipta—Pure food placed upon live article.
4. Pihita—Pure food covered by live or even lifeless cover, if the latter is too heavy in weight.
5. Samhrta-Putting of pure food in a vessel from which live food has been cast out with a view to give pure food to a monk. According to Mālācāra, such blemish takes place if he accepts alms offered in hot haste and without proper inspection by the donor.
6. Dāyaka—Food obtained from unfit donor such as a child, an old man, drunkard, lunatic, and the like.
7. Unmiśra-Pure food mixed up with life food. 8. Apariņata-Food not fully cooked and made lifeless.
9. Lipta—Food offered by hands or from pots besmeared with live article such as water, vegetable, etc.
10. Chardita-Food of which a part has fi en on the ground while offering it to the monk, because the dropped food is the potential or actual cause of injury to living beings.
The above mentioned forty-two blemishes are not found described in one place in the Āgamika literature; they are however found scattered at different places. Śrimajjayācārya has collected them together in one place. The following blemishes are found in Thānam 9/62 dhātrīpinda, dūtipinda, nimittapinda, ājīvapinda, vanīpakapinda, cikitsāpinda, krodhapinda, mānapinda, māyāpinda, lobhapinda, vidyāpinda, mantrapinda, yogapinda, cürnapinda and pūrva-pascātsamstava.
The following again are found in the Nisīhajjhayanam 13/61-75. The parivarta is found mentioned in the Āyāracūlā 1.21. Mülakarma is found in Panhāvāgaranāim, Samvara 1.15. The following are found in the Pindaişaņā chapter of the

(3) Rules of consuming food-while taking food, one should be free from infatuation, anger and addiction to tasty food. There should not be hissing sound and chewing sound. One should not eat in haste or too slowly. One should not drop down bits of food while eating.
(4) Measure of food-As lubricant is rubbed on an axle or ointment is rubbed on an abscess, so ascetic should consume his food in meagre quantity. He should take barely what is necessary for sustaining the life of a self-restraint (ascetic). (5) The purpose of taking food-the purpose of taking food is the pursuit of the discipline of self-restraint.
In conclusion, it can be said that a nirgrantha (ascetic) should practicse complete alloofness while eating food-just as a serpent, while entering into its underground hole, becomes straight without its sides being touched, in the same way the ascetic should straightway send the morsel down (the esophagus) without moving it to and frow for taking its taste. (It means that even while chewing, he sould not try to satisfy his palate).

Semantics
sasträtita (satthätita)-treated with weapon like fire etc.. (The food material which is originally in the form a "sacitta" i.e., animate object should have been passed through the process of heating on fire etc., which act like a weapon (Sastra) for the living beings constituting the food).
sastraparinämita (satthaparinamia)-transformed (made lifeless) by the application of a weapon (such as fire etc.).
eşita (esiya)-made acceptable.
vesiya-There are two Sanskrit forms of the word vaiśika and vyesita. The former means that which has been obtained 'on account of the veșa i.e. the outfit of an ascetic'. The latter means obtained by different modes esna (the careful investigation regarding the acceptibility of food).
In the Vrtti, the form vyesita is considered as the primary and vaišika as the secondary form.3
sāmudānika (sämudaniya)-accepting food given by the householder like a bee collecting honey without harming the flower (without making any discrimination between the houses from which the food is obtained).
Sastra (sattha)-in the present context, the word sattha should stand for 'fire'. The Vṛtti has explained it as 'sword, etc."
vyapagata (vavagaya)-the living beings (souls) which have of their own become separate from the food-material in which they had taken birth.
cyuta (cue)-served (of life) i.e. dead.
cyavita (caiya)-it can have two Skt. forms-cyavita and tyajita. It would mean-deprived (of life).

which is not nityapinda (accepting frrom from the same house everyday)'. The opposite of this is āhūta. The food accepted after getting the invitation such as 'accept food-from my house daily' is called 'āhūta' or 'nityapinda'. Therefore, anāhūta would mean the food that has been accepted without any prior' invitation'. navakotiparisuddham-immaculate in nine ways. This is explained in the Thānam? as acceptance of the food that does not involve [i] killing (ii) getting killed and [iii] approving killer [iv] cooking [v]getting cooked [vi] approving the cooker (vii] purchasing for oneself (viii) getting purchased (ix) approving the purchase. akkhovamjana--lubricant rubbed on the axle of the wheel of a cart. Aksa' means ‘axle of a cart'. 'Upāñjana' means 'ointment' or 'lubricant'. (Vide Suya. 2/2/50). samjama-jāyā-māyā-vattiyam (samyama-yātrā-mātra-vrttika)—as meagre in quantity as is barely necessarily for leading the life of self-resfraint. Abhayadevasūri has explained 'yātrā' as observance of self-restraint or leading the life of ascetic; and mātrā as a component of the collection of number of supporting factors of self-restraint; vattiya has two meanings-vrttika, i.e., 'mode of life' or occupation and pratyaya, i.e. cause. Silānkasūri has related mātrā (quantity) to food. The ascetic living on minimum quantity of food that is barely necessary for leading the life of self-restraint (or ascetic life) is called 'samyama-yātrā-mātrā-vrttika'.

When a person claims, O Lord! that he has renounced killing all living beings, all living substances, all souls and all animate beings, is his pratyākhyāna (renunciation) a supratyākhyāna (virtuous renunciation) or a duspratyākhyāna (vicious renunciation)?

For what reason, O Lord! has it been said that when the person claims that he has renounced killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings, sometimes his pratyākhyāna (renunciation) is supratyākhyāna (virtuous renunciation), sometimes it is duspratyākhyāna (vicious renunciation)? Gautama! when a person claims that he has renounced killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings, but if he does not comprehend these are souls, these are non-souls, these are mobile beings, these are immobile beings, then his pratyākhyāna (renunciation) of killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings is not supratyākhyāna, it is a duspratyākhyāna, Thus, when such a person who is making duspratyākhyāna claims that he has renounced killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings, he does not speak the truth, he speaks the untruth. Thus such lier is not a restrainer, abstainer, one who has forsworn the past sinful activities and one who has renounced the future sinful activities, through three types of acts (viz., do oneself, make others do and approve of others' action) and three types of instruments (viz., mind, speech and body) towards all living beings ..... up to all animate beings. He incurs kriyās such as kāyiki and the like (the urges due to physical activity etc.); he has not inhibited himself from evil acts; he is ekāntadanda (unmitigated perpetrator of violence) and ekāntabāla (unmitigated non-abstinent). On the other hand, if the person who claims that he has renounced killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings, comprehends that these are souls, these are non-souls, these are mobile beings, these are immobile beings; then his pratyākhyāna (renunciation) of killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings is a supratyākhyāna (virtuous renunciation), not a duspratyākhyāna (vicious renunciation). Thus, when such a person who is making supratyākhyāna claims that he has renounced the killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings, he speaks what is true, he does not speak what is untrue. Thus, such a speaker of truth is a restrainer, abstainer, one who has forsworn the past sinful activities and one who has renounced the future sinful activities, through three types of acts (viz., do oneself, make others do and approve of others' action) and three types of instruments (viz., mind, speech and body) towards all living beings ...... up to all animate beings. He does not incur kriyas such as kāyikī and the like; he has inhibited himself from evil acts; he is ekāntapandita (a mahāvrati (observer of the five great vows) who is unmitigated abstainer from all evil activities). For this reason, O Gautama! has it been said that a person who claims that

he has renounced the killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings, sometimes he is the doer of supratyākhyāna (virtuous renunciation); sometimes he is the doer of duspratyākhyāna (vicious renunciation).
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 27-28
While propounding his views on the truth, Lord Mahāvīra made use of the doctrine of standpoints (nayavāda) or based them on the relativistic approach. That is why there is no one-sided or absolutistic insistence in them; there is the touch of truthfulness. In the present context too, a relativistic view about the performance of pratyākhyāna (renunciation) is presented.
Lord Mahāvīra propounded the truth from different viewpoints and also relatively, thus avoiding absolutistic partiality. It is not possible to speak of an act of renunciation as exclusively good or bad. It can be described virtuous or vicious relatively with reference to particular cases. Suppose there is a person who has no distinctive knowledge about what is soul and what is non-soul. Now, if he renounces the killing of all living beings, how would he properly observe the vow of not killing all living beings?
Abhayadevasūri has pointed out that proper observance of the vow of not killing any living beings is not possible without the knowledge of what is soul and what is not soul. In context of this fact, the pratyākhyāna (i.e., the acceptance of the vow of non-killing) made by an ignorant person can not be decmed an act of virtuous renunciation.
Srimajjayācārya has further dwelt on the relative approach. According to him, the person who does not know the distinction between what is soul and what is not soul has a deluded world-view; such person cannot have knowledge of all living beings, and in absence of knowing them, if he renounces the killing of all living beings, then renunciation of such person, because of his ignorance, is not a genuine or virtuous renunciation-it is duspratyākhyāna or vicious renunciation; again if a person with deluded world-view, who distinguishes between the mobile and immobile beings, renounces the killing of them, then such renunciation is a duspratyākhyāna (vicious renunciation) on account of the absence of samvara (inhibition of the influx of karma) which does take place (even in spite of deluded view); it can be deemed as supratyākhyāna. Srimajjayācārya has quoted a number of passages from the scripture in support of this view.?
The first necessary condition of renunciation is the enlightened world-view. Without the knowledge of the distinction between what is soul and what is not soul, a person cannot have the enlightened world-view. In the absence of that knowledge, he cannot attain the state of a monk. In the term “tiviham tivihena' i.e., through three types of acts and three types of instruments, three types of acts are doing, getting done, and approving; and three types of instruments, are mind, speech and

body. The monk renounces the killing of all living beings through these three types of acts and three types of instruments. Without achieving the enlightened worldview, it is not possible to attain the state of a monk. And in the absence of the state of a monk, the act of renunciation is not genuine (or virtuous). This is the purport of the present dialogue. In those days, some heretics, even in the absence of the enlightened world-view, renounced the killing of all living beings through three types of acts and three types of instruments. This Sūtra was composed, plausibly, keeping those heretics in view.
The above discussion can be tabulated as follows:
Bad renunciation
Good renunciation
Deluded world-view. Renunciation through three instruments and three acts. Leads to false renunciation.
Enlightened world-view. Renunciation through three instruments and three acts. Leads to genuine renunciation.
The person performing vicious renunciation, even in spite of being designated as a monk, is not a monk in reality. He is asamyata—not restrained, avirata—not abstinent, apratihata-pāpakarmā—not forswearer of (past) sinful activities and apratyākhyāta-pāpakarma—not renouncer of (future) sinful activities, is sakriya—incurer of the kriyās (urges) such as kāyiki etc., and is asamvrta—noninhibited; he is ekāntadanda—unmitigated perpetrator of violence to other living beings and ekāntabāla-unmitigated nor-abstinent. He is not a monk in reality, though he claims himself to be so. So his claim has been said to be a false claim. The person making a genuine renunciation is a genuine monk, so his claim of renouncing killing all living beings is a genuine claim. He is samyata--restrained, virata-abstinent, pratihata-pāpakarmā—forswearer of (past) sinful activitie, pratyākhyāta-pāpakarmā-renouncer of (future) sinful activities, akriyā—free from the kriyās (urges) such as kāyiki etc., samvrta-self-inhibited and ekūntapanditama mahāvrati who is unmitigated abstiner from all sinful activities. Semantics egamtadamde-one who indulges in killing other living beings by all (possible) means. egamtabāle--absolutely devoid of the virtue of abstinence. egamtāpandie--abstinent in all respects and an observer of the (five) great vows.

Bhāsya
1. Sūtras 29-35
Two types of virtues have been prescribed for observing the spiritual discipline: mūlaguna—fundamental virtues and uttaraguna-subsidiary virtues. The virtues that are obligatory for the practice of the spiritual discipline are called mūlaguna. The optional practices that promote the development of spiritual discipline are called uttaraguna. In the present dialogue, five mūlagunas (fundamental or obligatory virtues) and ten Uttaragunas (subsidiary or optional virtues) have been prescribed for the ascetic. For the lay followers, five mūlagunas (fundamental virtues in the form of partial renunciation) have been mentioned. In the Digambara tradition, the enumeration of the mūlagunas has been differently made. Thereof twenty-eight mūlaguna have been prescribed for the ascetic-five great vows (mahāvratas), five deportments (samitis), five control of the senses, six essential duties (āvasyaka), plucking hair (loca), nudity (ācelakya), no bath (asnāna), sleeping on the ground (kṣiti-sayana), non-brushing of the teeth (adanta-gharşana), eating food in a standing posture (sthiti-bhojana) and one meal in a day (ekabhakta).
It is a matter of investigation as to on what basis the development of the enumeration of the mūlagunas took place. That the five great vows are the mūlagunas is quite logical assertion—the monkhood is possible only if there is observance of the five great vows if, on the other hand, the five great vows are not followed, there can not be monkhood; and hence, they are termed as 'mūlagunas'. The vows of sleeping on the ground etc, are subsidiary virtues. The number of such virtues may be even more than what are enumerated above.

Bhagavai 7:2:29-35
For the lay follower also, the fundamental virtues are five in number. In the Digambara tradition, the basic virtues of the lay follower are eight viz., the five anuvratas the partial renunciation and abstaining from alcoholic drinks, meat and honey. This appears to be a latter development. Really speaking, the five anuvratas only are the basic virtues of the lay follower.
The ten renunciations that have been mentioned in the Thanam (10/101) should be the uttaraguna pratyākhyāna i.e., subsidiary virtues, prescribed for the ascetic, as is evident from the Bhagaval 7/33. These ten renunciations are:
(1) aṇāgayam (anāgata)—predestined to practise beforehand the penance to be practised in future.
(2) aikkamtam (atikränta)-procrastinated-when the penance to be practised in present cannot be practised now, it is undertaken in the future.
(3) koḍisahiyam (koti-sahita)-coincidence of the last day of the previous penance and the first day of the next penance.
(4) niyamtiyam (niyantritam)-categorical resolve that-"I will undertake a specific kind of penance at a specific time," whether the renouncer is healthy or
sick.
(5) sāgāram (säkära)-to keep exception in the renunciation.
(6) aṇāgāram (anākāra)-renunciation without any exception.
(7) parimāṇakadam (parimāṇakṛta)-making a resolve to accept food only in definite measure with regards the number of spoonful quantity, morsel, number of houses to be visited for accepting food, number of items to be taken etc..
(8) niravasesam (niravaśesa)-renunciation in terms of total abstinence from food, drink, dainties and delicacies.
(9) sankeyam (samketa)-the renunciation in which some indication or hint is given.
(10) addhae (addhataḥ)-time-bound renunciation such as for one muhürtta (i.e., 48 minutes), one paurişi (to abstain from food for one quarter of the day-time after the sunrise).
In the period of composition of the Niryuktis, we find another classification of the subsidiary virtues, according to which there are twelve kinds of penances enumerated as subsidiary virtues. Šīlānkasūri, in his Sūyagado Vrii, quotes a verse which embodies the third form of classification of subsidiary virtues, which is a very developed form."
The vow of refraining from movement beyond a limited area (disivvayam) etc. are specific application of the fundamental virtues, so they have been called subsidiary virtues.
Digvrata (To restrict one's mvement in different directions)-It means the limitation of movements in upward, downward and horizontal directions.
Upabhoga-paribhoga-parimāņa Vrata (To restrict the usage and re-usage of the articles of consumption)--The vow of limiting the use of consumable and reconsumable goods-the objects that can be used only once such as food, drink etc. are upabhoga (consumable goods); those that can be used again and again are
Page #555
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 7:2:29-35
-:531 :paribhoga--re-consumable goods such as seats, beds, clothes etc.
Anarthadandaviramana (To abstain from purposeless acts of violence)--The vow of refraining from wanton destruction of the environment-it means refraining from bad meditation, remissness, supply of fatal weapons etc.
Sāmāyika (To renounce sinful activities for one muhūrtta)-it means renunciation of sinful activity for 48 minutes and engagement in virtuous activity for the same period.'
Deśāvakāśika (Further curtailment in the digvrata for a limited time)-it means further restriction of the movement to an even more limited area than restricted in the digvrata, for sometime.
It is mainly concerned with the further restriction of the digvrata. Haribhadrasūri refers to an ancient tradition according to which the observance of the anuvratas adopted for the whole life is further intensified,
Pausadhopavāśa (To renounce sinful activities for 24 hours and undertake fasting on sacred days)-it means renunciation of food, embellishment of the body, sinful activities and observance of celibacy for a single day and night. It is of two kinds, viz., partial paușadha and complete pausadha. The former may be observed even for a shorter period (i.e., for less than 24 hours) and during it food is not prohibited. There is a reference in Bhagavati that some lay followers of the Sramana order (Šramanopäsakas) headed by Sarkha and others made a resolve to observe deśapausadha." But in the meanwhile Sarkha changed his mind and undertook paușadha in his own poușadhaśālā (the hall or the house meant for observing the pausadha)." (See Uttarajjhayanāni (second edition), note on 5.23).
Atithisamvibhäga (To offer food etc. from one's own share to the atithi i.e., the visitor (ascetic) who visits without pre-information - This is the 12th vow of the lay follower. It is also called yathāsamvibhāga. It means-parting with food etc. which should be in conformity with the rules of acceptance (of food etc.) by the ascetic who is completely restrained with the intention of only spiritual beneficence.
Apaścima-mārnāntika-samlekhanā-joșaņā-ārādhanā—The final (last) practice of penitential performance of emaciation of the passions by a course of fasting which spans a number of years and ends in death. Samlekhana means penance (fasting) for emaciating the body and the passions. It is practised till the end of life culminating in death in blssful state (samadhi)' or tranquil meditation; so it has been called the last paścima māraṇāntika samlekhanā (i.e. ultimate penance of emaciation ending in death). The Vrtti opines that the word apaścima has been used for paścima in order to avoid the implication of inauspiciousness connected with the word paścima; and apaścima means the same thing, that is, the last stage, but paścima imply sense of inauspicious end. In order to debar this inauspiciousness, the word apaścima is used, which means the auspicious terminus, which has nothing beyond it. It is desirable to practise such Samlekhanā with full joy and complete dedication.2
Samlekhanā has been prescribed both for the ascetics and their lay followers. It is a process of embracing death in samādhi (blissful state), being engrossed in

tranquil meditation. Lord Mahāvīra was the foremost among those who have taught the ‘art of dying'.
Samlekhanā is the spiritual practice to free oneself from the fear of death. Lord Mahāvīra revealed to the spiritual practitioner (or the follower of religion) the mantra of eschewing fear of death and cultivating moral strength. Samlekhanā paves the way for attainment of perfection of that mantra. Samlekhanā is a subsidiary virtue. It is related to both the partial and the complete subsidiary virtues. With respect to a lay-follower, it is a partial subsidiary virtues.13
For the systematic procedure of Samlekhanā, see notes on Ayāro, 8/8/1-3 and Uttarajjhayanāni 30/12-13.
The five anuvratas have been shown to be partial fundamental virtues. The remaining seven vows have been characterized as partial subsidiary virtues. In the Tattvārtha Bhāsya, the expression uttaravrata has been used for the seven vows, in place of uttaraguna.14 We do not find the mention of uttaraguna and uttaravrata anywhere else.
In the Uvāsagadasāo, the mention of five anuvratas has been followed by the prescription of anarthadanda (renunciation of the act of wanton destruction of environment).' In the same text, in the section on the transgression, the sequence is as follows-the fifth anuvrata, viz., the vow of 'limitation of desire for possession is followed by the digvrata (sixth vow), upabhoga-paribhoga-parimāna (seventh vow), anarthadanda-viramana (eighth vow), sāmāyika (ninth vow), deśāvakäsika (tenth vow), pausadhopavāsa (eleventh vow) and yathāsamvibhāga (twelfth vow) respectively. 16 These twelve vows are followed by the mention of the practice of the māranāntika samlekhanā—the performance of emaciation of passions by a course of fasting unto death."
In the Uvāsagadasāo, there is no mention of the division of the 12 vratas as the mūlaguna and uttaraguna. Instead, there are the following two divisions of 12 vratas are available: five anuvratas and seven śikṣāvratas-supplementary vows. In the Avasyaka Cūrņi, there are, however, three divisions of layman's vows: five anuvratas, three gunavratas (the strengtheners (vows) of the virtues of the five anuvratas) and four sikṣāvratas (supplementary vows). Thus, the seven supplementary vows mentioned in Uvāsagadasāo are divided into two parts in Avaśyaka Cūrņi—three gunavratas (for promoting the efficacy of the anuvratas and four siksāvratas (the vows meant for regular practise or training).
It appears that the division into gunavratas (the strengtheners (vows) of the virtues of the five anuvratas) and siksāvratas (supplementary vows) which is not found in T.Bh in the post-Tattvārtha Sūtra period. It is mentioned only by the commentator Siddhasenaganī. 18 In the Sarvārthasiddhi and the Bhagavati Arādhanā also three gunavratas (the strengtheners (vows) of the virtues of the five anuvratas) 19 and four sikşāvratas (supplementary vows) are found mentioned, but the order of the vratas is different there. According to them, digvrata, deśāvakāśika and anarthadandaviramana are gunavratas (the strengtheners (vows) of the virtues of the five anuvratas). According to Siddhasenagaṇī, the gunavratas are digvrata,

-: 533 - upabhoga-paribhoga-parimāna and anarthadandaviramaņa.20 In the Mahāpurāna, this diversity of opinion has been mentioned.21 In the Cāritrapāhuda22 and Vasunandīśrāvakācāra23 the māraṇāntika samlekhanā has been classified under sikṣāvratas (supplementary vows).
The first eight vows are undertaken for the whole life and the last four śikṣāvratas (supplementary vows) are undertaken for a short period. 24 It is plausible that among the seven śikṣāvratas (supplementary vows) the first three were undertaken for the whole life and the last four temporarily and for shorter period. On the basis of this difference in the duration of undertaking, the first three śikṣāvratas (supplementary vows) were designated as gunavratas.

Bhagavai 7:2:36-43 are such that their intense fruition does not permit the advent of the virtue of renunciation. Some human beings and also some five-sensed subhumans, on account of their spiritually benignant psychic propensity, weaken the fruition of the apratyākhyāna kaşayas (passions which are the cause of non-renunciation, so there rises in them the power of renunciation as mūlagunas (fundamental virtues) or gunavratas (subsidiary virtues). Infernals are deeply and constantly engrossed in anguish, while the gods experience immense happiness, being deeply immersed in the material pleasures. So they can not develop the capacity to weaken the force of passions which are the cause of non-renunciation. The souls who are devoid of mind also can not even think of such capacity so they are inherently non-renouncers. Relative Numerical Strength
Abhayadevasūri notes that among the ascetics who are complete renouncers, those who are possessed of the gunavratas (subsidiary virtues) are necessarily possessed of the mülagunas (fundamental virtues). But those possessed of the mūlagunas (fundamental virtues) may or may not be possessed of gunavratas (subsidiary virtues). Here only those ascetics are to be understood who are not possessed of gunavratas (subsidiary virtues). The majority of the monks are possessed of the guņavratas (subsidiary virtues) so the number of the monks possessed of gunavratas (subsidiary virtues) is numerable times of the ascetics possessed of only the mülagunas (fundamental virtues). Among the partial renouncer lay followers, the observers of the gunavratas (subsidiary virtues) are greater in number than those that practise the mūlagunas (fundamental virtues). The number of the lay followers who observe only the gunavratas (subsidiary virtues) is innumerable times higher than those partial renouncer lay followers who follow the mūlagunas (fundamental virtues).'
There are two types of human beings-garbhaja, i.e., the souls born of womb and sammürcchima, i.e., the souls born of agglutination of material particles. The garbhaja human beings are numerable, but those born of agglutination (sammūrcchima) are innumerable. It is only with reference to the latter that the number of non-renouncer human beings has been stated to be innumerable.

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 54-57
All the souls are divided in three classes on the basis of each viz., self-restraint and renunciation (as undertaking of vows), such as:
Classification based on samyama Classification based on pratyākhyāna (1) Self-restrained (samyata)
(1) Renouncers (pratyākhyāni) (2) Non-self-restrained (asamyata)
(2) Non-renouncers (apratyākhyāni) (3) Self-restrained-cum-non-self-restrained (3) Renouncers-cum-non-renouncers (samyatāsamyata)
(pratyākhyānāpratyākhyāni) One who renounces the sinful activities, viz., injury to living beings, falsehood, stealing, sex and possession or the eighteen kinds of sin (by undertaking the vow of abstaining from them) is called pratyākhyāni—the renouncer (as undertaker of vows)'.
Self-restraint (samyama) means abstaining from sinful activity. One who restrains his mind, speech and body is called self-restrained (samyata). A person in whom the psychic propensity of self-restraint arises undertakes the vow of renouncing the sinful activities. The propensity of self-restraint is an antecedent tendency, while renunciation (as undertaking vow) is the consequent one. The propensity of self-restraint is intensified by the renunciation (pratyākhyāna) as undertaking of vow. To criticize one's own self for one's past sinful activities comprises 'self-restraint'; also to renounce the future sinful activities comprises self-restraint. Although the self-restraint occurs in the present moment, the censor of the past lapses and the renunciation (as undertaking the vow) of future sinful activities—both constitute the bridge for the access to self-restraint. Semantics samyata—one who completely renounces (as undertaking the vows of abstaining from) all the sinful activities (for the whole life). (Thus, only the ascetic is samyata). asamyata—one who does not renounce any sinful activities. samyatāsamyata—one who partially renounces (as undertaking the vow of abstaining from) the sinful activities. (The lay follower as the practitioner of aņuvratas is samyatāsamyata).
The following table gives the Relative Numerical Strength of the samyata, asamyata and samyatāsamyata:

Bhagavai 7:2:58-60
~: 543
In Indian metaphysics, the issues of the eternal and the non-eternal are perennial problems. The Vedanta upheld the doctrine of eternalism, while the Buddhists supported the non-eternalism. In Samkhya philosophy, both eternalism and non-eternalism are advocated the soul (purusa) is considered as eternal entity while the prakṛti (primordial matter) is subject to constant transformation. The Jain philosophy also believes in eternalism and non-eternalism. According to it, there is no substance that is only cternal or only non-eternal. Jainism does not believe in pure being or pure becoming, unlike the Vedantists and the Buddhists. The doctrine of eternal and non-eternal is the main foundation of the doctrine of anekanta, nonabsolutism.
There are two components of the substance (dravya):
(1) The total amount of the pradešas (the indivisible units)
(2) Bhava or paryaya-the changing states or modes.
Excepting the pudgala-dravya (i.e. physical substance), in all other substances, there does not occur any change in the number of pradeśas that constitute the substance. In the case of the pudgala-dravya, the total number of the paramāņus which are in the free state as well as constitute different skandhas (aggregates) always remain constant. Thus neither a single pradesa or a single paramāņu increase or decrease. Thus, the total amount of the pradesas remain always the same in past, present and future. With respect to this amount of pradesas, the substance is eternal. The soul is also a substance, and as such, it is also eternal with respect to the total number of pradeśas of the jiva. But it undergoes transformations like other substances.'
The transformation is twofold-intrinsic (natural) and extraneous (due to external cause). The intrinsic (natural) transformation is available in all substances but the extraneous transformation is available only in the soul, possessed of body, and the pudgala-dravya. With respect to such transformation of states or modes, the substance is non-eternal. Thus, although the substance is eternal as well as noneternal, the reasons for its eternality and non-eternality are different. Eternality is due to the constant amount of pradesas, while non-eternality is due to the changing states or modes.
Like the soul, the paramanu is alse both eternal and non-eternal. With respect to the substancehood, the paramānu is eternal; its existence is tri-temporal-it existed. it exists and it will exist; its substancehood is never destroyed. It (paramānu) undergoes constant change with respect of its qualities such as colour, odour, taste and touch. Therefore, it is non-eternal with respect to the modes.2
The eternality and non-eternality of substances have also been explained with reference to the flow (i.e., continuous change of the individual) and continuity (i.c... persistence of the group). As explained in Bha. 7.93, 94, the infernals (when considered collectively as a group) is eternal from the standpoint of non-cessation, but non-eternal from that of cessation (when considered individually). The present discussion of eternalism, non-eternalism is not related with the metaphysical substance. The infernals as the soul-groups always continue to dwell in the infernal

land. From this standpoint, the infernals are eternal, while every individual infernal (soul) dies on the cessation of his life-span, but is again re-incarnated as human or subhuman, and hence, from this standpoint of cessation the infernal is non-eternal.?

The Topic of the absorbing Nourishhment by Vegetation-bodied beings When' (i.e., in which season) the vegetation-bodied beings, O Lord! are the appropriators of the minimum quantity of nourishment and when (i.e., in which season) are they the appropriators of the maximum quantity of nourishment?
Gautama! in the prävrt (the first half of the four months of rainy season (monsoon)) and varşă (the later half of the four months) of rainy season (monsoon)) seasons, the vegetation-bodied beings are the appropriators of the maximum quantity of nourishment, thereafter in the sarad (the autumn-the first half of the four months of cold season), less than that, thereafter in the hemanta (the winter-the later half of the four months of cold season), less than that, thereafter in the vasanta (the spring-the first half of the four months of hot season), less than that, thereafter in the grişma (the summer-the later half of the four months of hot season), less than that. In the summer indeed the vegetation beings are the appropriators of the minimum quantity of nourishment.
Bhāṣya
1. Sütra 62
There are six seasons. In the Thanam they are serially as follows-prāvṛṇ, varṣā, sarad, hemanta, vasanta and grisma.' In the Sürapannati the same order of the six seasons is available. According to the Jambuddivapannati, the seasons start with the prävṛt. According to the Sarngadhara Samhita, the seasons are six due to the transit of sun to the twelve Zodiacal constellations, Aries, Taurus etc. during the year.4

Months
Vaisakha & Jyestha (May & June)
Abhayadevasūri has identified the month of Śravana (July) as the first month of the pravṛt and Asvina as the first month of the varsa. According to the Jambuddivapannati, the order of the lunar months begins with Sravana. In this connection see note on Thanam 6.95.
Aṣāḍha & Śrāvana (July & August)
In ancient Jain astronomy, only three seasons had been recognized. Lord Mahavira was born on the thirteenth day of the bright fortnight of Caitra, the first month of the summer season (starting from Caitra up to Aṣāḍha). Lord RṚṣabha attained omniscience on the eleventh day of the bright fortnight of the Phalguna, the fourth month of the winter season. In the Sarapannati also, there are mention of three seasons, each consisting of four months."
Prāvṛṇ and varṣā-there are rainfall in the period between the Aṣadha and Ásvina (July and October). So the vegetation-bodied beings appropriate more water as nourishment. Thus in these two seasons, the vegetation-bodied beings appropriate maximum quantity of nourishment. In other seasons, gradually the quantity of water available becomes less, so the quantity of nourishment appropriated becomes less and less.

~: 547 :
Gautama! in the summer season, many souls belonging to the category of uşṇayonika (i.e., those jivas whose place of birth (yoni) consists of the hot matter) and those pudgalas which are always hot, are transmigrated in the form of the vegetable-bodied beings and get destroyed, depart (from their previous life) and take birth in the form of the vegetable-bodied beings. Gautama! in this way, in the summer season, so many vegetable-bodied beings become overspread with leaves and flowers, become laden with fruits, appear beautiful on account of the verdure and stand exceedingly charming and shining on account of the splendour of the forest.
Bhasya
1. Sutra 63
Vegetation grows in many varieties. Some plants are uṣṇayonika-they take birth in the place which are made of hot matter. They can grow and flourish even in the tropical or hot region in the absence of supply of water; so it is not unnatural for uṣṇayonika vegetation to grow and flourish in spite of the availability of the least quantity of water.

The root is connected with the earth; so it draws its nourishment from the carth, but the bulb is not directly connected with the earth. What then is its source of nourishment? The answer given by the scripture to this query embodies important process that sustains life in general. The bulb derives its nourishment from the nourishment derived by the root.

Bhāsya 1. Sutra 66
There are two varieties of the gross vegetation-bodied beings-1. possessed of individual body (prateyaka-śarīrī), 2. possessed of one common body (sādhāranaśarīrī).' The class of vegetation with infinite souls has been mentioned in the four canonical texts, viz., Bhagavai, Pannavaņā, Jīvājīvābhigama and Uttarajjhayanāni, see the table on p. 561 at the end of section 3 of this Sataka.

In the classification given in the Uttarajjhayaņāni, onion and garlic have been classed as “infinite number of souls.” The Bhagavai and Jīvājīväbhiguma do not mention them in the list of infinite number of souls. In the Pannavanā, these are included under “pratyeka-sariri" souls-each soul possessed of separate individual body.2
The word "ālue" (älukam) deserves special attention. The meaning of ālukam is "an esculent root" and not ālā (Hindi) which means "potato", because
1. The plant of “Alū”-potato is not an indigenous (Indian) vegetable at all. This was brought in India in much later time by the Portuguese people. Originally, the potato plant grew in South America, from where it was first taken to Europe. Its original place of birth is Chile (South America). On the basis of these facts, the ālukam given in the present text is not ‘potato' (ālū).
2. According to Apte's Sanskrit-English Dictionary, “ālu is “an esculent root“ (not applied to potato etc.)"
3. In the Nighantu Ādarśa (pp. 164, 165), it is stated.-- "377 Alū (potato)
"Name—Alū (Hindi), bațātā (Gujarati), potato (English), Solanum Tuberosum (Latin).
"Information in detail (Description and Properties)--The birth-place of the potato is, in fact, South America; still, by considering the Sanskrit word “Alūni" as standing for potato, some people plead strongly for it being originally an Indian product. In our opinion, in the classical Indian works, many varieties of ālū have been described. All of them belong to the class “Dioscoria"—which stand for the tubers of sandy vegetables. The authors of the Nighantus (Dictionary of Botanical Plants) have mentioned many varities of “Alus”.
“Although Alū (potato) grows underground, it cannot be regarded as belonging to the "tuber root" (kandamūla). The "ground nut” grows underground, still it is not regarded as "tuber-root”. In the same way, potato (ālū) also can not be regarded as “kanda". Actually, the plant is like a stick; from this stick arise many branches which again turn down and go underground, and then grow like a tuber. It means it is a "stem tuber” and not a “root tuber". Some Jain people do not eat potato considering it a root tuber; and hence, this much clarification has been given. Whether they eat it or not; that is their own volition but "potato" is not a "kandamüla"." Semantics kşīravidālikā (kşüravirālia)—Ipomoea digitata linn, it is vidārī which is white and with large quantity of milk. krsnakanda(kanhakamde)—red lotus. kelūța (kheluļā)—kautumbakanda. bhadramustā (bhaddamotthā)-mothā, nāgara mothā.

1. Sütras 67-73
Lesya (psychic colour) is of two kinds-dravya lesyä (the material aggreagtes responsible for lesya and bhāva lesyd (the colour-index of the soul corresponding to the colour of dravya lesya.' The dravya lesya is made of matter and as such it has physical properties such as colour, smell, taste and touch. In the present dialogue, the dravya lesya has been described. In hell, the acquisition of colouration is as follows:
Hell

or auspicious). The infernal soul, possessed of black leśyā, is with more karma, the infernal soul, possessed of blue leśyā, is with less karma. In the present dialogue, exceptions of this rule have been pointed out. The infernal soul, possessed of black leśyā, is much aged. He has already lived a larger part of his life-span. The infernal soul, possessed of blue leśyā, is a newly born inhabitant. Duration of life-span
With reference to duration of life-span, the infernal, possessed of black leśyā, is with less karma and the infernal soul, possessed of blue leśyā, is with more karma. This rule with reference to duration is applicable in all cases.
In the present dialogue, more karma and less karma are used relatively. They are mainly related with the life-span and sensation-experiencing karma, and also with gati (-nāma) (i.e., the body-making quâ the realm or order of existence), jāti (nāma) (i.e., the body-making karma quâ species) etc. of the life-span-determining karma.

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 74-92 Vedanā (Experiencing of Karma) and Nirjarā (Falling away of Karma)
There are many stages of karma, the first being 'binding' and the last ‘arising' (fruition). It is at the time of its arising that the experiencing of karma takes place. After being experienced, the karma transforms into non-karma (nokarma i.e. the material cluster that has produced its effect and has become defunct). In the present dialogue, the ontological difference between the karma that is being experienced and the karma that has been experienced (nokarma) is explained. What is experienced is 'karma', what falls away the non-karma. The karma's power of producing fruit

ceases after the fruit has been produced. After that, it can no more produce any karmic result; it simply becomes non-karma. It is that non-karma, which falls away; therefore the samaya of experiencing is separate from that of falling away.

Gautama! they are eternal in respect of the standpoint of non-cessation (being), and they are non-eternal in respect of the standpoint of cessation (becoming). It is for this reason that it has been said that the infernals are eternal in some respect and non-eternal in another respect.
7.95 evam java vemäṇiyä jäva siya asäsaya.
The same description holds good for all dandakas (soul-groups)...... up to the Empyrean gods ...... up to they are non-eternal in another respect.
Bhāṣya
1. Sūtras 93-95
According to the Jain Philosophy, there are only two fundamental substances, viz., sentient-substance and insentient substance. Infernals, subhumans, humans and gods all these are the modes of sentient beings. The infernal as the soulsubstance is eternal, while the infernal as the mode of the soul is non-eternal.
The problem of eternality or non-eternality of an infernal can be explained from yet another standpoint. Every infernal continues to be an infernal for a certain span of time, after which he is reborn as a subhuman or a human being. The hell is never empty of infernals. So the infernal as a class is eternal and the infernal as an individual is non-eternal.
In sūtra 7.60, the question whether the infernal is eternal or non-eternal has

Bhagavai 7:3:93-96 been considered from the standpoint of substance and the standpoint of modes.

The first standpoint of our exposition is concerned with sutra 7.60.

Bhāsya 1. Sutra 97
The present Sūtra is an abridged version of the 29 sūtras of Jīvājīvābhigame Sūtra, (3.183-211). We have already before us the twelve sūtras of the Bhagavati, 6/168, 169 concerned with impure and pure leśyās. The last sūtra is concerned with samyaktva kriyā (i.e., the urge rectified with the enlightened view) and mithyātva kriyā (i.e., the urge vitiated by the deluded view). According to the heretical teachers a single soul performs two kriyās (urges) viz., the samyaktva kriyā (i.e., the urge rectified with the enlightened view) and mithyātva kriyā (i.e., the urge vitiated by the deluded view) in one samaya. Lord Mahāvīra did not accept this view. He propounded that a soul can not perform two opposite kriyās (urges) viz., the samyaktva kriyā (i.e., the urge rectified with the enlightened view) and the mithyātva kriyā (i.e., the urge vitiated by the deluded view) in one samaya.

The Topic of the Binding and Experiencing the Life-span (-determining (Karma)
In the city of Rājagrha the assembly of Mahāvīra ...... up to Gautama addressed the Lord thus-0 Lord! does the soul, which is destined to be born as an infernal being bind the infernal life-span (-determining karma) here in this life, or when it is being born or after being born? Gautama! it binds the infernal life-span (-determining karma), when it is here in this life, not when he is being born; nor after being born. In the same way, about the reincarnation of a soul as an Asurakumāra ...... up to an Empyrean gods.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 101
An important question in the 'science of the life hereafter' is about the determination of the life-span of the next life. In the present dialogue, Gautama has put his query about the same topic, to which Lord Mahāvīra has given his reply. According to him, the life-span of next life is destined in the present life, and the soul starts his transit to next life with this life-span. The soul cannot undertake transit untill and unless the next life-span is determined. Hence, the binding of life-span-determining kurma of the next life can not take place while the soul is upapadyamāna—in the process of being born (in the next life or upapanna-after birth (in the next life).
The end of the life-span of this life and death connote the same meaning. “The soul that undertakes transit to next life does so when he is already equipped with life-span for the next life.' This rule is the subject matter of this Sūtra. For detailed information, see Bhāsya on 5.59-61.
The line of distinction between the stages of being born' and 'after being born' is not available in ancient literature. It can be however be inferred that the 'aparyāpta avasthā' (the stage of incomplete bio-potential) is the stage of being

Does the soul, O Lord! who is destined to be born among the infernals, experience the infernal life-span, while it is here in its present life, or when it is "being born' as an infernal, or after being born'? Gautama! it does not experience the infernal life-span, while it is here in its present life, but it experiences, the infernal life-span, when it is being-born', and also 'after being born'. This description holds good ...... up to the dandaka (soul-group) of Empyrean gods.
Bhāsya
1. Sutra 102
Every soul experiences the life-span of the present life in this life; it does not experience the life-span of next life in this life. The stages of being born' and 'after being born' relate to this very life. So one experiences the present life-span, in both stages of being born and after being born'. See-Bhāsya on Bha. 5.57-58.

Gautama! they do not bind the life-span-determining karma consciously, they bind it unconsciously. Similarly the infernals also ...... up to the Empyrean gods.
Bhāşya 1. Sutra 106
The rules of binding life-span-determining karma have been indicated in the preceding satakas. For instance:
(1) For transit to next life, the soul has already bound the life-span karma.
(2) The binding of life-span-determining karma takes place in the preceding life.?
(3) The soul binds the life-span of the birth to which he has to go.? (4) The soul experiences the life-span of a single life at a tirne.
(5) Along with the binding of the life-span-determining karma, the six aspects, namely, species (jāti) etc. are determined.
In the present Sūtra, it has been laid down that the soul binds the life-span-determining karma unconsciously. The soul, with which the life-span-determining karma is being bound, or, has been bound, or, will be bound, does not know when it (i.e., the bondage) takes place, or, had taken place, or, will take place respectively.

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 107-112
In the present dialogue, karma has been divided into two classes viz, 'what is

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
Bhagavai 7:6:107-112
-: 569:
experienced as harsh' and 'what is experienced as soft'. In the next dialogue, karma would be explained as leading to the experiences of pleasure and pain. The experiences as harsh and soft are not exclusively related to the feelings of pleasure and pain, as they have concern with many other varieties of experience of karma. On the other hand, the experience of pleasure and pain is related to only the feelingproducing karma. The set of eighteen sinful acts viz., injury to life etc. is the cause of binding of the harsh-experience karma. The cause of the bondage of painproducing karma is inflicting suffering, torture, etc. upto others. The cause of binding of soft-experience karma is abstinence from the set of eighteen sinful acts. The cause of the bondage of pleasure-producing karma is compassion on living beings: The distinction between these two varieties of karma viz., harsh-soft experience and pleasure-pain-sensation becomes clear on account of the different causal conditions of their binding.'
Abhayadevasūri has identified abstinence as self-restraint. Non-abstinence means non-self-restraint, which is the common cause available in all the soul-groups viz., those of infernals, etc.. So the binding of harsh experience karma occurs in all souls. The subject of self-restraint (absolute abstinence) are the humans exclusively. So, the binding of soft experience karma is possible only in the humans, not in any other soul-group. The pleasure-pain-sensation karma is possible in all the twenty-four soul-groups.
It is true that the injury to life is the cause of karmic bondage but abstinence from injury to life is a kind of-inhibition, and as such, is the cause of stoppage of karmic bondage. How could then it be the cause of binding of soft-experience karma? This problem leads to the implication that wherever there is inhibition, there must occur an auspicious activity; and where there is occurance of an auspicious activity, there must be the falling away of karma; and where there is the falling away of karma, there must take place the binding of meritorious karma, which occurs up to the 13th stage of spiritual development.
The meritorious bondage that takes place on account of an auspicious activity accompanying inhibition in a self-restrained person is the bondage of soft-experience karma.
The soft-experience karma is not only related to non-destructive karma but it has association with the destructive karma as well. In the self-restrained person, on account of his passions, there is the constant bondage of the four destructive karmas like knowledge-covering etc. and the three non-destructive inauspicious karmas (i.e. the four non-destructive karmas excluding the life-span-determining karma), but on account of his abstinence from injury to life, his bondage is that of softexperience karma. The soft-experience karma which is meritorious but not productive of any evil fruition is not the cause of mundane transmigration. Similarly, the soft experience which is inauspicious is also not the promoter of mundane transmigration. Such karma falls away easily by producing its soft result that has no evil effect on the soul.

Bhasya
1. Sūtras 113-116
There are two kinds of compassion: one involving activity and one involving inhibition. In Bhagavān Mahāvīra's view, only the non-violence in the form of self-restraint is to be observed. Compassion is a variety of non-violence, and so the defining characterstic of non-violence can be self-restraint alone. The Sūtra in explaining the practical aspect of compassion has described it categorically as 'not to inflict any pain'; it, however, has not prescribed it as "to conferring any pleasure." The compassion as conferring pleasure may be suitable to the popular social life, but is not suitable to the dharma, i.e., spiritual discipline of self-restraint.
A man indulging in ārambha, i.e., any activity, involving violence, causes suffering to others. On the other hand, on awakening of the feeling of compassion in him, he restraints his activity of ārambha, thus desisting from inflicting any pain to others. The nature of such compassion has a universal feature which is valid at all times, at all places and is absolutely free from any taint and blemish.
In Bhagavati 3/145, there is the reading dukkhāvanayāe. In the present text the reading is dukkhanayāe. For semantics, see Bhāsya 3/145. Umāsvāti has mentioned many causes for binding sātavedaniya karma (feeling-producing karma quâ pleasure): (1) compassion for living beings (2) compassion for the observers of religious vows (3) charity (4) self-restraint with attachment etc., i.e., self-restraint (ascetic conduct) with attachment, restraint-cum-non-restraint, involuntary falling away of karma and activity in the form of austerity of deluded person (5) forbearance (6) purity (freedom from greed).
In the present Agama (Bhagavati), the causes of binding of sātavedaniya karma have been mentioned. Among them also only compassion has been mentioned." The mention of the other causes by Umāsvāti is a subject of investigation. Siddhasenagaņī has made this list larger. The text of Bhagavati appears to be ancient. The Tattvärtha Sūtra is a later development,
Akalanķa has explained compassion as follows--the compassion means the mental agitation due to experiencing the pain of others as one's own on account of the moistening of one's mind due to compassion.
Umāsvāti has given six causes of the bondage of asātavedanīya karma (feeling-producing karmas quâ pain). These are very similar to perpetrating pain etc. to others as mentioned in the Bhagavati. See table:

What' would be the manifest shape and mode of the continent of Bharata in the Island of Jambudvipa, O Lord! in the severest aeon of extreme privation in this descending cycle?
Gautama! the period will be sorrowful, fraught with groaning of animals, tumultuous. By the influence of the time there will blow cyclonic winds, full of dry and rough dust, unbearable, storming and terrible. The directions will be continually smoky, full of dust and tainted with dusty particles, devoid of sunshine on account of the layers of darkness. On account of the harshness of the times, the moon will be colder and sun will be hotter. There will frequently be many clouds with water devoid of taste, with water of bad taste, with water of taste of baking soda, with water of taste of cowdung, with water hot like fire, with flashes of lightning, with water, vomiting poison, with thunderbolts. Water of those clouds will be undrinkable. They will produce diseases, ailments and pain. It will be unpleasant. There will be torrential rains accompanied with fierce winds. On account of those rains, in the continent of Bharata, the areas of the villages, mines, cities, places yielding no revenue, commercial places, capitals, places surrounded by mud walls, hamlets, ports, hermitages etc., the quadrupeds, the birds, the domestic and wild animals and many varieties of trees, shrubs, bamboos, crippers, clinging plants, grass, knotty crippers, green trees, herbs, tender leaves, sprouts etc. and all other vegetation will meet destruction. Excepting the Vaitāḍhya Mountain and all other mountains, hills, hillocks, mounds will be annihilated. Excepting the Ganga (Ganges) and the Sindhu (Indus) all other fountains, pools, forts, uneven lands and rough spaces will become flat.

Anger, pride, deceit and greed will be predominant in them. Their suffering is productive of further suffering. They will be devoid of religious proclivity and enlightened world-view. Their body will be one ratni equivalent to one cubit in length. Their maximum life-span will be sixteen or twenty years. They will have deep affection for their sons and grandsons. Their habitat will be some burrows in the vicinity of the great rivers Ganga and Sindhu and mountain Vaitādhya or they will live in caves. Only seventy-two families of these human beings will survive as a few seeds which
would serve as genes for future human species. 7.120 te nam bhamte! maņuyā kam āhāram āhārehimti? goyamā! tenam kälenam tenam samaenam gamgā-simdhūo mahānadio rahapahavittharāo akkhasoyappamānamettam jalam vojjhihimti, se vi ya nam jale bahumacchaka chabhāinne, no ceva nam āubahule bhavissati. tae nam te manuyā sūrūggamanamuhuttamsi ya süratthamanamuhuttamsi ya bilehimto niddhāhimti, niddhāittā maccha-kacchabhe thalāim gāhehimti, gāhettā sītātavatattaehim, maccha-kacchaehim ekkavīsam vāsasahas sāim vittim kappemāņā viharissamti.

The flow of water in them will be as thin as the hole in the axle of the wheel. That water will be infested with fishes and tortoises. The amount of water will be very meagre. Those humans will come out of their burrows, within forty-eight minutes after the sunrise and forty-eight minutes before the sunset and take out fishes and tortoises (from the river) and then, after taking them at a dry place, they will roast them in the scorching cold and heat.

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 117-123
In the Jambuddīvapannatti, the time-cycle has been explained in detail. The description in the present canon seems to have been quoted from there. This dialogue was interpolated at some stage of the synod that compiled the canon. The elaborate style of description here is not coherent with the dialogue-type descriptions in the Bhagavati Sütra.
The description of the environmental situation that will prevail in the aeon of extreme privation is as follows:
1. Devastating wind will blow. 2. The directions will be smoky and dark. 3. The moon will be colder. 4. The sun will be hotter. 5. The rains will drop water that will cause diseases and be undrinkable. 6. There will be torrential rains, accompanied by cyclonic winds, causing
destruction of villages, cities, animals and vegetations. 7. Excepting the Vaitādhya mountain, all other mountains and hills will be
destroyed. 8. Excepting the Ganges and Indus, all other rivers will transform into even
land. 9. The earth will be as hot as fire, dusty and unfit for habitation.

The Topic of the Activity of Self-inhibited (Samvṛta) Ascetic
Does a self-inhibited ascetic, O Lord! who walks attentively, stands attentively, sits attentively, changes sides attentively while lying down and who picks up clothing, bowl, blanket and duster attentively, indulge in airyāpathiki kriyā (instantaneous activity that is free from passions) or samparāyiki kriya (long term activity that is informed with passion)? Gautama! the self-inhibited ascetic walking attentively, etc. indulges in airyāpathiki kriyā, not in sāmparāyikī kriyā.

Gautama! the ascetic who has eliminated his anger, pride, deceit and greed indulges in airyāpathikī kriyā: The ascetic who has not eliminated his anger, pride, deceit and greed indulges in sämparayikī kriyā. The ascetic who acts strictly according to the injunction of the scripture indulges in airyāpathiki kriya; the ascetic who acts against the injunction of scripture indulges in samparāyiki kriya. The self-inhibited ascetic acts strictly according to injunction of the scripture. For that reason Gautama! has it been said that the self-inhibited ascetic walking attentively etc....... up to does not indulge in samparāyikī kriyā.

Gautama! the least among them are the subjects of desires and feelings; infinite times of them are the non-subjects of desires and the non-subjects of feelings; infinite times of them are the subjects of feelings.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 127-145
In the present dialogue, the sense-organs and their objects have been considered. There are five sense-organs with sound, colour, smell, taste and touch as their objects. We get elaborate discussion on the topic of the sense-organs, having physical contact with their objects, and those, devoid of physical contact with them', in the darśana-yuga, i.e., the age when philosophy predominated. In the Naiyāyika-Vaiseșika philosophies, all the sense-organs are regarded as in contact with their objects. In Buddhism, the eye and the ear are not considered to be in contact with colour and sound respectively. In Jainism, only the eye is considered as not in physical contact with its object. This is a topic of epistemology. The topic of the desires and feelings do not belong to the domain of epistemology, rather they relate to physiology and psychology. The two sense-organs, viz., the ear and the eye are concerned with desires and the remaining three with the feelings (physical sensation). The objects which are simply desired but not physically sensed, viz., sound and colour are technically called kāma (craving), while the, remaining three which are physically sensed, viz., smell, taste and touch are technically called bhoga (physical enjoyment).
Both kāma and bhoga are material objects and therefore they are corporal (rūpī).
The sound and colour of a living being are sentient objects and inert sound and colour are insentient objects. The Vrtti explains sentient (sacitta) and insentient (acitta) differently. According to him, the colour of a living being endowed with

________________
Bhagaval 7:7:127-146
~: 585
mind is a sentient object of desire and the colour of a living being devoid of mind is an insentient object of desire.' But this deserves scrutiny. In the scriptural literature, the word samjni has been used for the living beings endowed with mind, and asamjni for the living beings devoid of mind. The word sacitta has been used for all varieties of sentient beings and acitta for insentient things.
The kāmas (the objects of desires) are both soul and non-soul-with respect to the colours (and shapes) of the animate body (of a living being) and sounds of a living being, they are soul, while with respect to the colours (and shapes) of inanimate objects like a painting, a doll etc. and sounds of inanimate objects, the kamas are also non-soul. The objects of feelings are also to be spoken of like the objects of desires.
The souls are both the subjects of desires as well as feelings. The one-sensed, two-sensed and three-sensed beings are exclusively the subjects of feelings; while the four-sensed and five-sensed beings are both the subjects of feelings as well as desires.
The souls which are both the subjects of feelings and desires are the least in number, the reason being that their subjects, viz., the four-sensed and five-sensed beings are the least in number. The emancipated are non-subjects of desires and feelings; they are infinite times total number of the four-sensed and five-sensed beings. The souls, which are the subjects of only feelings, are even infinite times the number of emancipated souls, the reason being that the total number of vegetation-bodied beings (which are one-sensed beings) is infinite times the number of emancipated souls.
In the present dialogue, there is a precise classification of the subjects of desires and the subjects of feelings. In the commentatorial literature, this classification, however, has not been clearly followed.

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 146-149
The question is posed—one who is not able to indulge in sensual pleasures can not renoưnce. One who can not renounce cannot effect massive falling away of karma and attain the supreme end, i.e., heaven or liberation. Without a special falling away of karma there can not be a special bondage of meritorious karma. For instance, there is a person of weak body, who has no enthusiasm, action, strength, energy, self-exertion and self-efficiency; he is incapable of enjoying pleasures, so how is he able to renounce?
This problem has been solved on the basis of requisite measure of enthusiasm, action etc. and the psychic condition suitable for them. A person of weak physique may not be able to employ sufficient enthusiasm, action etc. to enjoy pleasures, but he is definitely capable enough of exercising a little enthusiasm, action etc. and so he is not completely incapable of enjoying pleasures.
Even a person, with a weak physique, can enjoy pleasures on the level of adhyavasāya, i.e., the subtlemost psychic level at which the soul interacts with the karma (the subtle particles of matter); so he is not incapable of enjoying pleasures.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

- 588:
Bhagavai 7:7:146-150
Thus, he is capable of enjoying pleasures, so also he can renounce the pleasures and be a renouncer.
If even a one-sensed beings can bind human life-span by his auspicious adhyavasāya, then how should not a weak person be able, by his auspicious adhyavasāya, to effect falling away of karma and bind the life-span of a god? All humans have not uniform enthusiasm, action etc. In the Dhyānavicāra, twelve kinds of each of vīrya (energy), self-efficiency etc. have been mentioned.' A person may not be able to employ sufficient good physical activity for parting with karma, but he can employ more energy for meditation. The auspicious energy of meditation may be more effective than the good activity of the physique in causing the massive falling away karma. In the Dhyānavicāra, the vīrya (energy) has been defined as follows: the energy is the power that burns by means of the soul-units the karmas in the fire of meditation. So even a person, with weak physique, can renounce pleasures and effect massive falling away of karma to attain the highest goal-heaven or liberation
In the present dialogue, the persons with limited clairvoyance, the highest clairvoyance and omniscience have also been described as bhogi (enjoyer of pleasure). The implication is that on account of their weak physique, they are not completely incapable of enjoying things or objects necessary for sustenance of their life, so they are enjoyers of pleasure. And because they are enjoyers of pleasure, they are also capable of renouncing, effecting massive falling away of karma and attaining the highest goal, viz., heaven or liberation. Semantic chaumatthe--with the veil of ignorance. āhohie, paramāhohie—see Bhāsya on Bha. 1.200-210. kevalī---an omniscient person. mahānijjare--one who has affected massive falling away of karma. mahāpajjavasāne—what ends in attaining heaven or liberation.

Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 150-154
In the present dialogue, the possibility of experiencing sensations (of pain) by the souls, with or without mind, is discussed. One-sensed, two-sensed, three-sensed, four-sensed and five-sensed agglutinated beings are all without mind. Their ignorance has been explained by four adjectives, viz., deluded, etc. (see Sūtra 7.150). These souls have no power of reasoning, though, they have the experience of sensations (of pain), which is due to their emotions like fear, anger, greed, etc., according to the doctrine of instincts. To Gautama's query "whether the one-sensed beings viz., earth-bodied, etc. were conscious of their agreeable and disagreeable sensations and whether they had perception, intelligence, mind and articulation for their sensations," Lord Mahāvīra replied in the negative, but affirming that they had the experience of the painful and pleasurable touches.
The one-sensed beings, viz., earth-bodied etc. have six kinds of experience or sensations, viz.,
(i) agreeable and disagreeable touch of objects (ii) agreeable and disagreeable movement of others (iii) agreeable and disagreeable rest of others (iv) agreeable and disagreeable beauty of others (v) agreeable and disagreeable fame and reputations of others (vi) agreeable and disagreeable enthusiasm, action, strength, energy,
self-exertion and self-efficiency. From these descriptions, it is clear that even the beings without the power of thinking have manifold sensations that have a wider application in practical life. In this connection, the experiments made on plants by Prof. Marcel, Vogel and Cleve

- 591 :Backster are worth mentioning. The sensation-mechanism of plants has become the subject matter of scientific investigations.
The word 'prabhu' has been used for 'the five-sensed rational beings' who experience the sensations due to ignorance and also due to mental faculty, the former being due to the deficiency of the power of knowledge, while the latter due to the deficiency of the practical application of power. Semantics akāma-nikaraņa—(i) that which is due to lack of attention, or which happen in the state of ignorance. (ii) what happens due to the lack of media of knowledge. prakāma-nikarana—it is due to mental faculty; in spite of a developed mind, that which takes place on account of the incapability of knowledge and action.
In the present context, the word, kāma means knowledge which is one of the sixteen synonyms of prajñāna (mental faculty) given in Aitareya Upanișad. Though the meaning 'desire' of the word kāma is most popular, in the present context it seems to be quite irrelevant. Here, the most appropriate meaning should be knowledge'. Thus, akāma-nikarana would mean due to ignorance', and prakāma-nikarana as 'due to intelligence'.
Abhayadevasūri explains akāma as lack of desire' and prakāma as deep desire'? maggao--it is a desī word which means 'on backside'. The Marathi word māge has the same meaning. prabhu-one who is able to know on account of being possessed of mental faculty.
1. Thānam, 10.105-107. 2. Bha. 19.14; 20.3-6. 3. Ibid., 14.63. 4. Article in Tīrthankara (monthly), Jan 86, by Dr. Avadhesha Sharma, "The plants and trees, not only
sense the feelings of people coming in their vicinity, but also are effected by them. Prof. Vogel has proved through experiments that the plants become fully terrorized by the mere thought of a person to uproot or destroy them. In order to prove this, he, with the help of his friend Vivian Wiley, designed an experiment. For this, they selected two plants kept in the flower-pots. Both of them kept these flower-pots in their respective bed-rooms. Whenever Mr. Vogel would go in his bed-room, he would go near the plant and cherish in his mind good feelings and auspicious thoughts about it. On the other hand, Ms. Wiley, while entered into bed-room, would approach the plant with a thought of uprooting and destroying it. Whenever they rose up in the morning, they would repeat the same thoughts in their mind respectively.
After a month, when the plants were examined, the one in the Vogel's room flourished well, while the other one which was in Wiley's room started to become wither after becoming dry, although both were treated with similar kind of manure and water.
Thinking that it might be a mere coincidence, both the friends experimented again for one month, but this time with exactly contradictory feelings to the previous ones. At the end of experiment they were astonished to see that Mr. Vogel's plant started withering away this time, while Ms. Wiley's plant flourished.
After these long experiments, Mr. Vogel undertook some more experiments. He connected a plant in his laboratory with a sophisticated machine (a polygraph) which sould measure the changes in the internal structure of the plants through the electrical vibrations. After making the connection
Page #616
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________
- 592 :
Bhagavai 7:7:150-154
of the machine with the plant, Mr. Vogel, touching the plants with his palms, started to fill his mind with the feelings of love and friendliness towards the plant. Mr. Vogel found that the machine connected with the plant produced a graph on paper. He repeated the same experiment several times and obtained almost the similar graph everytime. When Prof. Vogel presented his findings in a conference of the botanists, some of them showed interest in his experiments. One of them Dr. Silem Jones, himself perfomed the same experiments with his own hands and obtained satisfactory results. Once, when Jones entered into Prof. Vogel's laboratory, the plant ceased to give the vibrations at all. Vogel asked Jones what he was thinking about. Jones said that he was just comparing the condition of his own plant with that of Vogel's and found that the former was more flourishing than the latter. Vogel's plant did not give any vibration for fifteen days. The question arose as to although the machine was in order, why it did not record any vibrations. Replying to this question, Prof. Vogel said that the feelings which Jones had brought in his mind about Vogel's plant in the form of contempt by considering it inferior to his own plant, had hurt immensely the feelings of Vogel's plant, and for this reason, it had denied to communicate or to express to him.
The sensitivity of the plants has also been proved by the renowned botanist of New York, Mr. Cleve Backster. He used galvenometer to record the vibrations of the plant and used pen in place of needle. First, he dropped a live leaf, without detaching it from the branch, into the cup of hot coffee, wanted to know the reaction thereof, but there was no reaction registred. After rethinking, he performed another experiment in which he, made a decision to burn a leaf with a match-stick. No sooner, he touched the match-stick for holding it, than the galvanometer started recording rapidly the vibrations of the plant (to show its reaction). He repeated the same experiment several times and preserved all the graphs. The same experiment was repeated twenty-five times on different kinds of plants which were brought from different places of the country. The effect of thoughts on different plants were recorded through different galvanometers. The result was the same as earlier. These vibrations were transformed in the form of sound vibrations. When these sounds were heard, they implied different kinds of feelings (emotions); some were of fear, some of pleasure, some of delight, while some of joy.
Besides being terrified, being able to express the feeling of gladness or pleasure and being able to recognise the enemy, the plants, trees etc. are also able to experience heat and cold. They also become thirsty. This discovery is made by the renowed Russian botanist Leonid A. Panishkin and Cherio Monav. They connected a very sophisticated machine with a plant of beans. Whenever the piant needed water, it would give indication through a special proces to the machine, the plant was given water through a special process. It was observed that plant accepted water for the first two minutes, and after that it expressed its unwillingness to have more water. After an hour, again
the plant gave a signal for having water." 5. Ibid., "Till now, it was thought that there was no sensitivity-system in plants and trees, as they do
not possess the nerves which are available to animals. But, according to a study made in the Norwegian Research Park situated in East England, when the worms used to bite the leaf of the tomato plant, the leaf immediately would send an electrical warning message to the whole plant. No sooner the rest of the unbitten leaves receive the message, than they would start secreting a protective (immunitive) chemical substance, which would be difficult (for the worms) to digest.
This study is made jointly by the scientists of East Eglia University and John Inns Centre with the scientists of New Zealand.
Prof. Keith Roberts, the Head of the Department of the Celluar Science at John Inns Centre, says that the plants use the electrical message in the same way as the animals and birds do in their neurons. In animals, the waves of the message travel rapidly between the body and brain; whereas in the case of the plants, these messages travel at a snail's speed.
A team of the British Scientists is still busy with the reasearch to find out as to which cells in the plants are responsible for production of these electrical messages and how automatically they are produced when the plant is injured."

The kunthu in comparison with the elephant has less influx and the elephant in comparison with the kunthu has massive influx. Similarly, the kunthu in comparison with the elephant has less nourishment, less excreta, less inhalation, less exhalation, less fortune, less glory and less splendour.

Bhagavaï 7:8:158-159
~: 597 :~
In the same way, O Gautama! the soul also enlivens the body produced by his past karma by the innumerable soul-units, whether the body is small or big. For this reason, O Gautama! has it been said that the soul of the elephant and the soul of the kunthu are equal.
Bhāṣya
1. Sutras 158-159
Consciousness (sentience) is the general characteristic of the soul.' From that standpoint, all souls are equal, but their developments are not equal. The reason is the difference in the size of the cover (body). The subject matter of the present dialogue is the equality of all souls from the standpoint of their sentience and inequality from the standpoint of the difference generated by the karma bound by the souls in their past life. While propounding the equality of the souls of the elephant and the subtle insect, the difference of their size has been explained in respect of ten aspects, viz., action, urge, influx, nourishment, excreta, inhalation, exhalation, fortune, glory and splendour.
Now the question arises-how is it possible that the soul of the elephant and the subtle insect are equal from the view-point of sentience. The subtle insect renders its small body sentient, while the elephant renders his big body sentient. How then their sentience is equal?
The answer to this question is provided by the illustration of the lamp and the cover. If the cover of the lamp is small, the lamp enlightens only a small area, and if the cover is big, it enlightens the big area. The soul builds the body of the smaller or bigger size, according to his past karma, and whatever the size of the body, it makes it sentient by its innumerable number of soul-units. The size of the body also does not entail any difference in the existence of the sentience. The size of the field illuminated by it is only different, there being no difference in the nature of the soul.

The Topic of Pleasure and Pain
Is1 the sinful act of the infernals, O Lord! that was done, that is being done and that will be done, all productive of suffering and is the karma that fall away the productive of pleasure (relief from suffering)?
Yes, Gautama! the sinful act of the infernals, that was done, that is being done and that will be done is all productive of suffering, and the karma that falls away is the productive of pleasure (relief from suffering). This holds good for all soul-groups up to the Empyrean gods.
Bhāṣya
1. Sutra 160
Pain and pleasure have been defined from various standpoints. Commonly agreeable experience is called pleasure and disagreeable experience is called suffering. This definition is related to experience. In the present Sutra, the spiritual aspect of pleasure and pain has been defined. Acarya Kundakunda has propounded the doctrine that 'the soul itself is bliss'. To explain this, he says, "If the sight itself expels the darkness, what is the necessity of the lamp?" "As the soul itself is bliss, there is no need of the sensual objects to produce bliss." It means that bliss not a product, but the inherent nature of the soul.
1. Pravacanasara, gā. 67-
In the present Satra, pain and pleasure are attributed to bondage of evil karma and its falling away respectively. The binding of evil karma is the cause of suffering. as it creates obstacle in the experience of the innate bliss of the soul. The falling away of evil karma, therefore, acts as the cause of the experience of pleasure.
Generally, the bondage of meritorious karma is attributed to the falling away of accumulated karma. From this Sutra we can understand the modus operandi of the binding of punya karma, which results in feeling of pleasure. The punya karma that is bound is virtually an obstacle in the experience of the innate joy by the soul. The falling away of the bound karma, whether meritorious or demeritorious, is accompanied by the manifestation of the innate bliss of the soul.

logasannā, ohasannā. evam jāva vemāniyānam. The Topic of the Tenfold Instinct
How many instincts have been propounded, O Lord? Gautama! ten instincts have been propounded, viz., the instinct of hunger, fear, carnality, possession, anger, pride, deceit, and greed; instinct as discursive cognitional activity and instinct as intuitive activity. The same holds good for all the soul-groups ..... up to the Empyrean gods.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 161
Instinct (samjñā) is a widely discussed topic of Jain psychology. The Nandi Sūtra' gives three kinds of samjñī, viz., I. kālikopadeśa (dirghakāliki), 2. hetūpadeśa, 3. drstivādopadeśa, which gives rise to three samjñās, viz., 1. kālikopadesikī, 2. hetüpadeśikī, 3. drstīvādopadeśiki.?
In the present Sūtra, ten instincts have been enumerated, which according to the Vrtti are not only cognitive in nature but are also emotive. The Vrtti defines samjñā as consciousness (both emotive and cognitive) due to the rise of the feelingproducing karma and deluding karma, and the suppression-cum-annihilation of the knowledge-covering and intuition-covering karmas.? Of the ten instincts, the first eight are emotive, and the remaining two cognitive. The Vrtti has explained the practical aspects of instincts, which can be compared with the behavioural psychology.
See the following table for information about the physical and mental behavioural changes:
Instinct
01. Hunger
Karma
Physical-mental
behaviour and changes Rising of hunger--feeling-producing Picking up the morsel of food by hand, karma

02. Fear

Emotion of fear creating timid outlook, change in voice, horripilation, etc. Amorous glances, touch, shivering, etc.
03. Carnality
Rising of sex-deluding karma

activity articulate-knowledge-veiling karma 10. Intuitive Annihilation-cum-subsidence of per- Intuitive cognition. activity ceptive-cognition-veiling karma and
articulate-knowledge-veiling karma
The Vrtti mentions another opinion, according to which ogha means commonplace activity and loka means specific activity. Ogha samjñā means the intuitive cognition and loka samjñā means active knowledge. This needs scrutiny. Siddhasenaganī explains ogha samjñā as cognition without the sense-organs and mind.
Such cognitive activity is available even in plants and subtle insects. They intuit the distant and future events by means of vibrations in the atmosphere. The instinct due to popular tradition and inheritance is called loka samjñā. The Vrtti says that these instincts are clearly discernible in five-sensed beings. In the onesensed beings, they are simply in the form of rise of karma. Modern scientists have studied these instincts in plants with the help of instruments, so it is now possible to find them in one-sensed beings.
1. Nandī, 61. 2. Studies in Jain Philosophy by N. Tatia, p. 50—"The samjñi śruta is considered in three ways,
inasmuch as there are these three varieties of samjñā (cogintional activity): (1) discursive thinking that takes into account the past, the present and the future, (2) consciousness that can discriminate between what is to be avoided and what is to be accepted for the maintenance of life, but cannot think of the past or the future, and (3) consciousness due to knowledge of the right scriptures (samyak Śruta). The first is called (dirgha)-kaliki (lasting for a long time), the second hetupadeśiki (discriminating) and the third drstivādopadesiki (backed by scriptural knowledge). Those who possess these samjñās are called samjñins. The śruta-jñāna possessed by these samjñins is samjñi-śruta. The asamjñins also fall in three categories. The mind is the organ of thinking. The more developed the mind is, the more one is capable of thinking. Those whose mind is weak and incapable of thinking fall in the first category of asamjñins. Those who are totally devoid of mind and live on mere instincts fall in the second caicgory of asumjñins. Again those who believe in false scriptures

Mahāsilākamtayasamgāma-padam 7.173 nāyameyam arahayā, suyumeyam araha, yā vinnäyameyam arahayā

atthārasa vi gañarāyāno parājaitthā. The Topic of the Mahāśilākantaka Battle
The Mahāśilākantaka battle' is known to the Adorable One, has been heard of by the Adorable One, has been perfectly known by the Adorable One. Who was, O Lord! the victor in the battle and who was the vanquished? Gautama! Vajri (Indra) and Videhaputra (Kūņika) were the victors; the nine Mallas, the nine Licchavis--the eighteen republican rulers of Kaśī and Kausala were the vanquisheds.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 173
The description of the battle between Cetaka and Konika (Kūnika) is available in two canonical texts, the Bhagavati' and the Nirayāvaliyão.2 In the Bhagavati, the background of the battle is not described, only the two battles, namely the Mahāśīlākuntaka and Rathamusala have been described. In the Nirayāvaliyão, there is a detailed description of the background of the battle. There is, however, no mention of the Mahāśīlākantaka battle there.
In the Buddhist literature, the description of the battle between Ajātasatru Videhiputra, the Sovereign of Magadha, and the Vajji Republican is found, but there is no mention of the name Cetaka. Ajātasatru is identified as Kūņika in the Jain literature.
It is surprising that there is no mention of these battles in the Vedic literature; there is no mention of these battles even in any secular literature. It is also worth investigation-how there was assemblage of such great army in Magadha and Vaisalī. In the Mahāśīlākanțaka battle, eighty-four lakh and in the Rathamusala battle ninety-six lakh people, that is, totally, one hundred eighty lakh people died. From the view-point of the small areas of those lands, and the population in those days, the number is surprising. May be the calculation was made by any other system of counting prevalent in those days.
The summary of the descriptions of the battles may be made thus: 1. The imperialistic attitude of the Koņika was responsible for the battle. 2. The protection of the fugitives was given priority. 3. The special rules were observed even in the battle. 4. Refutation of the doctrine embodied in the following verse

Having known that the Mahāśītākantaka battle was imminent, King Konika called the heads of the families; having called them, he addressed them thus; “O beloved of gods! prepare at once the elephant-king, named Udāyī; mobilise the fourfold army consisting of the cavalry, elephants, chariots and infantry; having prepared them, report back quickly the implementation of

2. Put on steel armour
sannaddha-baddha-vammiyakavae—sannāha and varma are synonymous words standing for armour. For a warrior protected by armour, the terms saņnaddha, baddha and varmita have been used. 3. Put on leather band on his wrist
uppīliyasarasanapatție---here, utpidita means tightly bound. Saräsanapattikā means the leather band bound on the wrist for protection against the hit of the string of the bow. 4. Put protective armour on his neck
piņaddhagevejja—the Vrtti explains graiveyaka as the ornament of the neck.' But it needs scrutiny.
savvālankāravibhūsie-adorned himself with all kinds of ornaments; here, adorning with ornament is implied. This is followed by the description of being equipped with an armour for the war. Binding a neck armour and affixing the emblem of warrior all read together. Therefore, the appropriate meaning of graiveyaka is an armour for the protection of the neck. As there are separate armours for the protection of the head, the bowels, the feet, the arms and the body, so for the protection of the neck there is an armour called graiveyaka. 5. Equipped himself with manual weapons and missiles
vimalavarabaddhacimdhapatte gahiyāuhappaharņe-cihnapatta (cimdhapatta) is the emblem that identified the warrior. In grhītāyudhapraharana (gahiyāuhappaharane), gahiya means taken up or equipped with, äyudha means sword etc. that are manually operated, praharana means arrows, missiles, etc..

Then, Varuņa, the materal grandson of Nāga, retired to the bathroom; having retired, he entered the bathroom; having entered, he bathed himself; then he offered oblations; put sandal mark on the forehead; offered auspicious articles (like yogurt, rice), and made atonement, adorned himself with all kinds of ornaments, put on steel armour, held over his head an umbrella adorned with the garlands of the flowers of sakoranta tree (basleria prionitis), with two câmaras held on each of the two sides. Sorrounded by many republic heads, heads of the police, kings, princes, vassals, lieutenants, servants, richmen, heads of guilds, generals, trade leaders, ambassadors and protectors of the frontier, he came out of the bathroom; having come out, he reached the site of the external council hall and the place where the horse-driven chariot with four bells was kept; having reached there, he rode the horse-driven chariot with four bells; having done so, with his fourfold army consisting of cavalry, elephants, chariots and veteren soldiers, surrounded by multitude of veteran soldiers, he arrived at the Rathamusala battlefield;
having reached there, he engaged himself in the battle. 7.197 tae nam se varune nāganattue rahamusalam samgāmam oyäe samāņe

Then, as soon as, Varuņa, the maternal grandson of Nāga, reached the site of the Rathamusala battle, he made the resolve: "it will behove me, while fighting in the Rathamusala battlefield, to strike the enemy in defence, after he has attacked me; it will not behove me to attack any other person." He makes such resolve; having made such resolve, he engaged himself in the Rathamusala battlefield.

Then, while thus engaged in the Rathamusala battlefield, Varuņa, the maternal grandson of Nāga, was confronted with a person who was alike him, alike in complexion, alike in age, equipped with similar weapons and chariot.

Considering that 'the body will no more last', he pulled up the (reins of) the horses; having pulled, he turned round his chariot; having turned round, he made an exit from the Rathamusala battlefield.

Then, a friend from childhood of Varuņa, the maternal grandson of Nāga, while fighting in the Rathamusala battle, was hit severely by his opponent and became bereft of vitality, strength, energy, self-exertion and selfefficiency. While considering that his body would no more last, he saw Varuņa, the maternal grandson of Nāga, retiring from the Rathamusala battlefield; having seen him so, he (also) pulled up his horses; having pulled up as in the case of Varuņa, he set free the horses. Then he prepared a clothbed and seated himself on it; having seated himself facing east in crosslegged posture, and rotating his folded palms displaying his ten nails in front of his face, he addressed thus, "O Lord! let whatever sīlas (auspicious activites undertaken without expectation for its material reward), vratas (small vows such as non-violence etc.), gunas (the gunavratas-the small vows from sixth up to eighth), viramaņas (abstinence from attachment etc.), pratyākhyānas (renunciations like undertaking the vow of not eating food etc. for one quarter of day time) and pausadhopavāsa (fasting with undertaking day-long abstinence from sinful activity) were undertaken by Varuņa, the maternal grandson of Nāga, my friend from childhood, be applicable to me."

In that period, at that time, there was a city named Rājagrha-description of the city. There was a shrine called Guņaśilaka-description up to stone slab (see Uvavāi, Sūtra 2-10). Neither too far nor too near that Gunasilaka shrine, there lived many heretics, namely, Kālodāyī, Sailodāyī, saīvālodāyī, Udaka, Nāmodaka, Narmodaka, Annapālaka, Sailpālaka, Sankhapālaka and
the lay follower Suhasti. 7.213 tae nam tesim annautthiyānam annayā kayāi egayao sahiyānam samu

Among those heretics, assembled together, seated at a particular place and gathered together, there arose such mutual discussion—"The Ascetic Jñātaputra (Mahāvīra) indeed propounds five extended substances, namely, the extended substance called the medium of motion .... up to the extended substance called matter. Among these substances, the Ascetic Jñātaputra propounds four extended substances as non-sentient extended substances, namely, the medium of motion, the medium of rest, the space and matter. The Ascetic Jñātaputra propounds the extended substance called soul, as non-corporal sentient substance.

"Again the Ascetic Jñātaputra propounds four astikāyas viz., dharmāstikāya, adharmāstikaya, ākāśāstikāya and jīvāstikāya as non-corporal substances and the remaining one viz., pudgalāstikāya as a non-sentient corporal substance.

In that age, at that time, the ascetic, named Indrabhūti, the seniormost disciple of the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, of Gautama lineage, ..... up to (see 2.106-109), Lord Gautama, while roaming about for alms (in the city of Rājagyha, from the high, low and middle class families from house, to house without any discrimination), begged adequate food and drink; having begged, he departed from the city of Rājagsha, without haste, excitation and perplexity, fixing his gaze on the space in front, (observing the ground of the length of yuga (yoke), completely mindful of his movement), he was passing
by neither too far nor too near the heretics. 7.216 tae nam te annautthiyā bhagavam goyamam adūrasāmamtenain vīīvayamūnai

Then the heretics marked Lord Gautama passing by, neither too far nor too near. Having marked him, they called each another, having called, they said thus: “O beloved of gods! for us this topic is not explicit, nor clear. Gautama is passing by neither too near nor too far from the path. O beloved of gods! it will be benificial for us to ask Gautama about this subject." Having thought thus, they approached one another. They discussed the matter. Having

discussed the matter, they approached Gautama. Having approached him, they addressed him thus "O Gautama! your religious preceptor, your religious instructor, the Ascetic Jñätaputra propounds five extended substances, viz., dharmästikäya...... up to pudgalästikäya. The description is as before... up to he propounds up to corporeal non-sentience substance. Gautama! how is this description logically consistent?

The Topic of the Initiation of Kälodäyī after Resolving the Doubt
Then Lord Gautama addressed the heretics thus: We do not, O beloved of gods! speak of existence as non-existent, non-existence as existent. O beloved of gods! we speak of all existence as existent, all non-existence as non-existent. You think of this within yourself. Having addressed the heretics thus, Gautama reached the Gugasilaka shrine where the Ascetic Lord Mahavira was dwelling. Having reached there, he showed food and drink; having showed, he offered homage in obeisance to Lord Mahavira; having done so, he sitted himself neither too far nor near to him...... up to offerred his adoration.
Bhasya
1. Sūtras 212-217
It follows from this dialogue, wherein Lord Mahävira propounded the doctrine of five extended substances, that the conception of six substances was a later development. There is no place for the substance of time in the doctrine the five extended substances. We know from Thanam that time was considered as the mode of sentient and non-sentient entity. It is not an independent substance. The division of substances as corporeal and non-corporcal is also connected with the doctrine of five extended substances, which was quite new for the heretics, and so that was the topic of hot discussion among them. The dialogue with Madduka also confirms this. For satisfying the curiosity of heretics, Gautama said: We do not speak the existent as the non-existent, or the non-existent as the existent; speak existent as existent and non-existent as non-existent. You yourself ponder over this topic. Cf. Bhasya on Bha.1.133.

Then, Kālodāyī addressed the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra thus, "O Lord! can any person rest, sleep, stand, sit or turn sides in the dharmāstikāya, adharmāstikāya and ākāśāstikāya which are non-corporal, non-sentient substances?

Bhagavai 7:10:218-221
-: 627 :
Kālodāyī! it is not possible. It is only in the pudgalāstikāya which is a corporal non-sentient substance that a person can rest in, sleep in, stand in, sit in,
turn sides in. 7.220 eyamsi nam bhamte! poggalatthikāyamsi rūvikāyamsi ajīvajākāyamsi jīvānam

Are the evil karmas, bound by soul, made attended with the fruition of evil result, O Lord! by souls in the corporal non-sentient pudgalāstikāya? O Kālodāyī! this is not possible. It is only in the non-corporal (sentient) jīvāstikāya that the evil karmas, bound by the soul are made attended with the fruition of evil result by the souls. Now Kālodāyī got enlightened by this dialogue; he offers homage and obeisance to the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra; having offered homage and obeisance, he addressed the Lord thus–O Lord! I wish to hear Dhamma from Your Holiness! Lord Mahāvīra, delivered sermons on Dhamma and he got initiated—the whole description is like that in the episode of Skandaka (2.50-63). Like Skandaka, Kālodāyī was admitted as a disciple, he studied the eleven books of the Inner Corpus ..... up to he undertook in the Lord's presence many types of the practice of austerity (like fourth meal, sixth meal, eighth meal, tenth meal and twelfth meal austerities, and fortnightly and monthly fastings etc.), thus sanctifying the soul with different varieties of penances.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 218-220
The curiosity of Kālodāyī increased. He arrived at the Religious Congregation of the Lord Mahāvīra, and attentively listened to the sermon on the doctrine of the five extended substances. After having properly understood the doctrine, he asked a question related to the doctrine of karma, keeping in view the Sāmkhya doctrine that karma is not bound by the soul, nor does the soul attain liberation, the karma lies in the non-sentient prakrti—“Does the fruition of evil karma take place in the pudgalāstikāya which is material?” The Lord, in reply, said, "O Kālodāyī! the mundane soul is not absolutely pure; so, bondage and liberation take place in the soul. The fruition of evil karma also takes place in the soul itself.” 7.221 tae nam samane bhagavam mahāvīre annaya kayāi rāyagihāo nagarão,
gunasilāo ceiyão, padinikkhamati, padinikkhamittă bahiya janavayavihāram viharai.

Bhagavai 7:10:221-224 Then, the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, on some occasion, went out from Rajagṛha city and the Guņaśilaka shrine; having so left, he undertood journey to the countryside.

The Topic of the Käloday's Query on the Subject of Karma and the Like
In that age, at that time, there was a city called Rajagṛha and shrine named Gunaśilaka. The Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra arrived there...... up to the multitude from the city congregated. Dhamma was spoken. The multitude departed.

Then, on some occasion, the ascetic Kälodāyī arrived at the place where the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra was sojourning, having arrived there, he offered homage and obeisance to the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra; having offered homage and obeisance, he addressed the Lord thus-Are the evil karmas, O Lord, bound by the soul, made productive of the fruition of evil result by the soul? Yes, they are made so (O Kälodāyi).

How the evil karmas, O Lord, bound by the soul, are made productive with the fruition of evil result by the soul?
O Kalodāyi! suppose a man eats up agreeable food, well-cooked in a pot, enriched with eighteen varieties of dishes, but mixed with poison; that food seemed benificial at first appearance to taste, (while being eaten), but afterwards, in the course of its transformation, it turns insalubrious, bad in

fire is with less karma, less urge, less influx of karma and less pain. 7.228 se kenatthenam bhamte! evam vuccai-tattha nam je se purise aganikāyam

Bhagavai 7:10:228-231

For what reason O Lord! has it been said that among the two, the person who ignites fire is with more karma, more urge, more influx of karma and more pain and the person who extinguishes fire is with less karma, less urge, less influx of karma and less pain? Kālodās! (among the two persons), one who ignites fire causes injury to the life of more number of earth-bodied beings, water-bodied beings, fire-bodied beings, air-bodied beings, vegetation-bodied beings and mobile beings. (Of the two persons), one who extinguishes fire causes injury to less number of earth-bodied beings, less number of water-bodied beings, more number of fire-bodied beings, less number of air-bodied beings, less number of vegetation-bodied beings and less number of mobile beings. For this reason, O Kālodāyī! it has been said that (of the two), the person who ignites fire is with more karma, more urge, more influx of karma and more pain and the person who extinguishes fire is with less karma, less urge, less influx of karma
and less pain. 7.229 atthi nam bhamte! accittā vi poggalā obhāsamti? ujjovemti? tavemti?

What kind of insentient material particles, O Lord! illuminate, enlighten, heat and brighten? Kālodāi! the tejo-leśyā (supernatural power quâ energy of fiery body) is emitted by an angry ascetic; it falls at a remote place after reaching a remote place or at a nearby place after reaching a nearby place. Wherever it falls, insentient particles of its matter illuminate, enlighten, heat and brighten the objects. In this way, O Kālodāi! the insentient material clusters also
illuminate, enlighten, heat and brighten the objects. 7.231 tae nam kälodāi anagāre samaņam bhagavam mahāvīram vamdai namamsai,
