Here is presented a small hymn in Sanskrit containing 100 verses : it is called Dhyanastava, though it could be called Dhyanasataka as well. It is an exposition of Dhyana ( Meditation ). The contents are given in the "Outline of the Poem" (pp. 6-7), in the Introduction of the Editor. The author is Bhaskaranandi, the same as the author of the commentary on the Tattvarthasutra. This is edited here by Miss Suzuko Ohira along with English translation and Introduction, shedding much critical light on the contents of the work as well as on the author's lineage and age. Miss Ohira hails from Japan. She is a B. A. in English Literature ( Tsuda College, Tokyo) and M. L. S. in Library Science (University of Washington, Seattle ), and has studied in Banaras Hindu University during 1964-65. Lately, she was in the States working in the University of Illinois Library. She is a keen student of Sanskrit, and has been occupied for sometime past on the English translation of Bhaskaranandi's Sanskrit commentary on the Tattvarthasutra. She has a good grounding in Jainism. At present Page #7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ she is in India to continue her work on Bhaskaranandi's commentary in the Department of Jainology and Prakrits, University of Mysore, Mysore. Miss Ohira had completed her work on Dhyanastava while she was in the States It is very kind of her to have given it for the publication to the Manikchandra Digambara Jaina Granthamala, and thus enriched this series. We are very thankful to her. We are grateful to Shriman Shanti Prasadaji Jain and to his enlightened wife Smt. Ramaji for so generously patronising this Granthamala. It is both an opportunity and a challenge to all earnest workers in the field of Jaina literature. Many small and big works in Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabhramsa still lie neglected in Jaina Bhandaras; and we earnestly appeal to our scholars to edit them and present them in a neat form this is a duty which we owe to our Acaryas who have left for us a great heritage in our literature.

In its form it is a prayer addressed to Jina-Deva. It has hundred verses like the Jhanajjhayana Dhyanasataka in Prakrit (attributed to Jinabhadra) which has been well-known in the South (being quoted in Dhavala) and to which it is indebted. It is based on his other work called Tattvarthavrtti, a commentary on Umasvami's Tattvarthadhigamasutra, of which there are, according to Jinaratnakosa, nearly forty commentaries. In this introduction, I would like to give a short outline of this poem first, then, while discussing the relation between Tattvarthavrtti and Dhyanastava, I would like to bring up the problem of our "so little known" author, who probably flourished in the early 12th century. The Dhyanastava, here presented in translation, is based on the palm leaf MS. No. 755 in Moodbidri. It was transcribed from Kannada script into Devanagari by Sri B. Devakumar Jain, which was arranged for me by Dr. A. N. Upadhye, without whom this small piece of translation, which was also made under his guidance, could not have been possible, and to whom goes my humblest gratitude. I restricted myself to verifying the date of our author. My deficiency in knowledge might have made Page #10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ various mistakes in this study, which, I hope, shall be kindly corrected by the scholars concerned. After my text was finalised and my translation also ready, my attention was drawn to the Jaina Siddhanta Bhaskara, XI, p. 113 and XII, p. 54. 1-9 ( Arrah 1944-46 ) where Pt. K Bhujabali Shastri has described the Moodbidri MSS. (possibly the same of which a transcript was sent to me and also given the text of the Dhyanastava.

'Dhyana-' nugam' can be also rendered as "a companion to dhyana." In whichever sense we take it, it is evident that our Hymn is based on and referred to his Tattvarthavrtti. His Vrtti as the source of Dhyanastava is endorsed in Page #12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 49 the following table. Reference is also made to Nemicandra's Dravyasangraha (DR), Jinabhadra's Dhyanasataka (DH), and Pajyapada's Samadhisataka (SM), in which the sources of our certain verses are traceable.

"IX:29" refers to Tattvarthasutra. "X:2-4 vr" refers to his Vitti of the Sutra. "II:7-9 and vr" refers to the Sutra and his Votti. The Dhyanastava is derived mainly from the Chapters I, V, and IX of the Vgiti. Chapter I and V are concerned with Jaina ontology, metaphysics and epistemology; Chapter IX, with stoppage of karmas, wherein dhyana is taken up as one of the internal austerities serving as the cause of dissociation of karmas. The basic concept of the Vrtti is retained unchanged in Dhyanastava. Only a certain point is made more explicit in our Hymn. For instance, Bhaskaranandi says in our verses 50-59 that the principles of Reality consist of twofold nature, physical and psychical. Merit, demerit, and liberation, including life principles, are said of as such, which are implied in the Vrtti, but not elucidated. Their dual nature is distinctly explicated in Dravyasangraha, which must have been used as one of the models of his poem, Page #14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 13 His Vytti on Tattvarthasutra follows the interpretations of Sarvartha siddhi of Pujyapada, Rajavartika of Akalanka, and Slokavartika of Vidyanandi. It is, in fact, the reduction of them in general. Their original sentences are frequently quoted in his Vrtti without alteration. He does not even attempt to make any novel or original interpretation of the aphorisms, but tries to convey the traditional purports of these predecessors in his own simple words and style, particularly for the sake of slow students. His commentary on Tattvarthasutra IX:27 which deals with the definition of dhyana is a good example of his style, in which the orthodox understandings of this sutra are rewritten succinctly in his own words and phrases. Let me quote from it: "IX:27 uttama-samhananasyaikagra - cinta - nirodho dhyanam antarmuhurtat Restraint of thought to one point (or object] is dhyana, which lasts up to antarmuhurta for a person with the best physical formation of joints. ...ekasminn-agre ( on a single point ) or on the principal object, i.e., on a soul or elsewhere, cinta nirodha or having one's thought fixed and keeping away other mental activities, is ekagra-cintanirodhah. This is dhyana," by thus stating, the nature of dhyana and its object are restricted. Similarly, when one's thought is turned upon various kinds of objects or upon the object predominantly fitting for illusive thought, it ceases to be dhyana. Since the steadiness of thought is herein not attained, any Page #15 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ justification of it would become an over-deduction ad absurdum. It is said that the absorption of the self in its very self is the definition of dhyana. But it is also disregarded, because thought is accepted as the object to be restrained. The [ Buddhist ] dogma that nothing but the non-existence of any thought is dhyana, or nothing but thought alone is dhyana is also removed. Because if the nature of dhyana is taken as nothing but the nonexistence of valid knowledge which is the innate nature of the human being, or as the negation of all thoughts, then, by all means, the same voidness would be applied to liberation also. Opponents contend, "The state of yoga wherein the self becomes unconscious of the object is the cause of the ultimate bliss (cf. Vacaspatimisra's Tattvavaisaradi 1-20). Therefore, the self in this state is described as abiding in its transcendental nature. This state is truly the final liberation, or this state is verily dhyana." No, your opinion is contradictory, because the self which is by all means characterized by its inherent non-dual nature is irrelevant to be characterized by the dual nature simultaneously [i. e., the self in the released state is characterized by consciousness, but the mundane soul in the meditating state is characterized by the dual nature, i.e., consciousness and unconsciousness ). The Jainas consider that a soul is modified by manifold nature. Hence, the validity of the Jaina doctrine of dhyana is established since the self characterized by unwavering thought is expressly meant to be the nature of dhyana, the self in this mode is elsewhere called dhyana from the figurative point of view. And when the cause of the Page #16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ metaphor is no more existent [i.e., when the self is no more modified, but stays in its natural state of consciousness, ) it is proved to be the state of deliverance..." The nature of dhyana is traditionally understood by the Jaina System as the soul in the mode of unwavering thought. Therefore, arta and raudra dhyana are also accepted as its divisions, although they are the causes of rebirth. Later, the scholar like Hemacandra who regards yoga to be consisting of three jewels disregards them as the divisions of dhyana. The rest of the two types, dharmya and sukla, are the means and causes of deliverance. In TattvarthavTtti I:1, the nature of liberation which is the sole aim of our life is discussed through the lengthy quotation from Somadeva's Yasastilaka Book 6, Kalpa 1, with an ending verse, "Bliss, knowledge, sovereignty, energy, and supreme subtlety: these are infinite. Therein lies liberation in the religion of Jina." In a word, deliverance is the realization or revelation of the essential self. And dhyana in the highest stages serves as the cause of it. The nature of dhyana, liberation, and self, and their interdependent relation, which are the subject matters of the Vttti 1:1 and IX:27, are condensed in our beginning four blokas, i.e., 3-6. Tattvarthasutra IX:28 classifies dhyana into four divisions, i.e., arta, raudra, dharmya, and sukla, of which the last two are the causes of release. The divisions, subdivisions, nature, and meditator of these four types of dhyana explained in his Votti are summarized in our verse 8-23. Regarding dharmya dhyana, Pujyapada and Akalanka consider that it occurs to those in the 4th up Page #17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ to the 7th spiritual stages. In the Vrtti IX:36, Bhaskaranandi agrees with their view, together with a critical comment that it occurs to the laymen in the 4th and 5th stages from the figurative point of view alone. In our 16th stanza, it is mentioned to occur primarily to those in the three stages of spirituality, i.e., 5th to 7th, and the interpolation of the 4th stage is only implied. The description of the state of the omniscient soul resembled to the firm, motionless Mt, Meru in samucchinna-kriya - nirvartaka or the final stage of sukla dhyana in our 21st stanza, appears also in his Vylti IX:44. Jinabhadra's Dhyanasataka verses 76 and 82 describe the same, which can be further traced in Uttaradhyayanacurni XXIX:72 and so on. In our sloka 22 and 23, samucchinna-kriya is stated to occur only to the Ayoga Kevali. It is also noted that it occurs to the Sayoga Kevali in a figurative sense alone, which is also supported by Srutasagara in his Tattvarthavetti IX : 36. This view does not appear in our author's Votti. Our verses 13 and 14 analyze dharmya or virtuous qualities required for practising dharmya dhyana into four types. By reading the second half of sloka 13 as of two types and the first half of sloka 14 as the rest of two types, we are puzzled by the redundancy of these characteristics. Dhyanasataka 31-34 describe four kinds of bhavana or the prerequisite practice for dharmya dhyana, i.e., jnana, darsana, caritra, and vairagya. The first half of our sloka 14 lists four kinds of qualities comparable to them, i.e., saddrsti, jnana, vstta, and moha-ksobhavivarjita. These four divisions of virtuous qualities are Page #18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ apparently formed by combining the four kinds of bhavana with the tenfold virtues mentioned in T.-sutra IX:6, with the addition of the requirement of the knowledge of Reality and liberation. In Subhasitasamdoha Chapter VII, Amitagati mentions about the man of fourfold virtues, however, the section is not at all related to dhyana. In Sravakacara 15:24-29, he enumerates numerous virtuous qualities required for an aspirant, in which tenfold virtues are mostly found. However, it is hard to read therein any specific effort or intention to present them in some categorical form. Yogasastra and Jnanarnava explain bhavana in twelve subdivisions. The tenfold virtues are mentioned under the dharma bhavana. Yogasastra I:15 states that yoga is considered as consis. ting of jnana, darsana, and caritra. Its IV:117-121 list and describe the observances for the meditator of dharmya dhyana, i.e., maitri, pramoda, karunya, and madhyasthya. In its IV:110-112, Hemacandra stresses upon the prerequisite of samatva or equanimity, without which dhyana is said to be not attainable. Subhacandra deals with the nature of meditator in general in his Jnanarnava Chapter IV and V. In the Chapter IV, the capacity of holding three jewels is mentioned as the basic requirement for a meditator. The next chapter is an eulogy of the meditator, in which the qualities desired for the meditator are described, including vairagya, etc., and maitri, etc. Jnanarnava XXVII:4-14 describe four bhavanas, such as maitri, as the prerequisite: practices for dharmya dhyana. Tattuarthasutra VII:9-12 provide various bhavanas in order to promote the observance of Page #19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 86 the great vows, which are, excluding the four beginning with maitri listed in VII:11, codified in the twelve bhavanas in the two great dhyana works cited above. Maitri and so on are therein enumerated as the bhavanas for dharmya dhyana as already noted. Thus, the nature of "dharmya" was variously sought in relation to bhavanas in the course of time. Bhaskaranandi mentions in his verse 24 that dhyana is all classified again into four divisions, i.e., pindastha; padastha, rupastha, and rupavarjita (or rupatita ). Pujyapada and Akalanka are silent about this classification. Nor Bhaskaranandi refers to them in his Vrtti. Dr. A. N. Upadhye draws my attention to the Tantraloka of Abhinavagupta (X, 241 etc.) where Pipdastha etc. are described : this point deserves to be pursued further. Jinabhadra mentions about mantra yoga in the section of sukla dhyana in Dhyanasataka verse 71. According to Dr. Tatia's Studies in Jaina Philosophy (p. 293-6), Haribhadrasuri is said to have classified yoga into five activities in his Yogavimsika, i.e., sthana, urpa, artha, alambana, and analambana. In our context, alambana and analambana, which are comparable to samprajnata and asamprajnata samadhi in the Yoga System, are called rupastha and rupavarjita, respectively. Somadeva distinguishes lokottara and laukika in his Yasastilaka, in which our padastha and rupastha are implied. Nemicandra does not use these technical terms. However, his Dravyasangraha 49 which applauds mantra recitation implies our padastha; its verse 50 suggests rupastha, and verse 51, rupatita. Page #20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ We find a systematic exposition of dhyana in Amitagati's Sravakacara Chapter 15. He classifies dhyana into the traditional (i.e., arta etc. ) and non-traditional categories. The former is taken up in 15:9-23. The latter is independently treated on the basis of the four aspects, i.e., meditator, object of meditation, technique, and result. Under the head of the object of meditation, the four sthas are enumerated in the sequence of padastha (15:31-49), pindastha (15:50-53), rupastha (15:54), and arupastha (15:55-56). Regarding padastha, the method of reciting mantra and yantra is described at length, which is summarized in short in our Dhyanastava, stanza 29. Pindastha means, according to Amitagati, the concentra. tion of the mental activity on Arhat or Jinendra who has accomplished so called jivanmukta state. Rupastha dhyana is considered in reference to the aspirant's pure mental activity in meditating on the qualities of Parame. schis (i.e., Arhat, Siddha, Acarya, Upadhyaya, and Sadhu) attributed to their idols or images. He regards the spirit. ual qualities of Siddha as the object of arupastha dhyana, which is also so held by Bhaskaranandi. In our Dhyanas. tava, the object of pindastha is taken as the embodied lord with cosmic extension who should be identified as the aspirant's own self; and the object of rupastha is restricted to the spiritual qualities of the embodied lord Arhat. Thus from Amitagati to Bhaskaranandi, there is a definite vestige of conceptual development in pindastha particularly, which was naturally followed by the change of its sequence, i.e., pindlastha, padastha, rupastha, and rupatita. Page #21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 20 Yogasastra Chapter 7 also treats dhyana in similar aspects, i.e., meditator, object of meditation, and its result. Under the object of meditation, dhyana is subdivided into four heads, i.e., pindastha ( Ch. 7), padastha (Ch. 8), rupastha ( Ch. 9), and rupavarjita (Ch. 10). In the 10th chapter, immediately after the description of rupavarjita, dharmya dhyana is again classified under the head of the object of meditation into the traditional four divisions, e.g, ajna-vicaya. It is followed by the explanation of the result of dharmya dhyana. Sukla dhyana is introduced in the Chapter 11, and the 12th chapter ends with the description of its result. Hemacandra thus categorizes both four sthas and four subdivisions of dharmya dhyana under the object of meditation. He does not try to subordinate the four sthas to any one of the subdivisions of dharmya dhyana. In another word, dharmya dhyana which can be subdivided by the object of meditation has two methods of classification, non-agamic and agamic. He mentions also that dharmya dhyana is the cause of Heaven, and sukla dhyana, of emancipation. Sukla dhyana cannot be subdivided by the object of meditation, and it is treated according to the tradition. Jnanarnava accepts the orthodox classification of dhyana into four, i.e., arta, raudra, dharmya, and Sukla, with four subdivisions each. Subhacandra places the four sthas under the 4th or the final subdivision of dharmya dhyana (Ch, 36) in due order, i.e., pindastha (Ch. 37), padastha (Ch. 38), rupastha (Ch. 39), and rupatita (Ch. 40). In its 36:185, after the explanation of the three worlds, Subhacandra deliberately introduces the next step, Page #22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 21 pindastha, explicating its relation to sansthana-vicaya. Both Yogasastra and Jnonarnava subdivide pindastha again into five stages, i.e., 1) parthivi, 2) agneys, 3) maruti, 4) varunt, and 5) tattvarupavati or tatrabhu. Our verse 26 and 27 seem like describing the last step above. Verse 25 is not quite identical with parthivi dharana, but is suggestive; verse 28 implies agneyi dharapa. The rest of the sthas described in a crude form in our Dhyanastava are elaborately depicted in the finished form in these two works of Jaina Yoga. Beginning with the adoptation of mantra recitation, the employment of these sthas as the technical objects of dhyana indicates a significant Hindu influence on Jaina Yoga. It has certainly stimulated the Southern medieval Jaina circle, and enriched the soil of the Jaina dogma. Even in regarding to the agamic classification of dhyana, quite liberal attitude of its categorical treatment is observed. For an example, Camundaraya subdivides dharmya dhyana into ten kinds in his Caritrasara, the section called "Anagaradharme tapovarnanam": apaya, upaya, jiva, ajiva, vipaka, viraga, bhava, sansthana, ajna, and hetu-vicaya. It is surely a fascinating period for the students of Jainism, with the provision of rich resources which ought to be carefully studied. Now, from these medieval works dealing with the Jaina classification of dhyana, we may be able to trace the process of its conceptual development. The orthodox category of dhyana with four divisions, e.g., arta, is provided in the Agamas. Its category by four sthas is derivative. Derivative category is generally reinterpreted, Page #23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 22 reclassified, and fused into the primary category, if it is valid enough to survive. Its process may take certain stages, e.g., origination of the concept of the secondary issue, its naming and establishment of its definition, its analytical process and synthesis into the original body. As we have noted above, the basic concept of padastha, rupastha, and rupatita had been already established before the time of Amitagati. All the four sthas are found in his Sravakacara. They are classified under one of the four aspects of dhyana, which are treated separately from the agamic practice. In Bhaskaranandi's Dhyanastava, a few important points are observed : 1) The concept of pindastha is changed, and the order of the four sthas are rearranged, which is accepted by the later authors. They are arranged according to the gradual step of performance towards the higher level, namely, from the concrete object to the abstract one. 2) Arupastha is renamed as rupatita or rupavarjita, wbich is also accepted by his successors. 3) Pindastha is not at all described in the organized form with five subdivisions as elaborated in the later works. However, their primary concept can be recognized in it. The other sthas are herein explained in such a simple and naive manner in a crude form, which are indicative of their transition process towards the later development. Page #24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 23 In the light of this historical context, we can add a few comments on our Dhyanastava. Bhaskarnandi states that dhyana is again all classified into four sthas. Although he does not explicitly mention, it is evident that this classification is altogether based on the object of meditation. He accepted dhyana, as Amitagati did, in two categories, agamic and non-agamic. Agamic category is the traditional classification of dhyana, and non-agamic, new method under the head of the object of meditation. The latter is not found in his Vrtti, as Sarvarthasiddhi etc. are silent about it. Grammatically it is even possible to interpret our verse 24 that all the types of dhyana, e.g., arta, together with their subdivisions, are each again subdivided by these four sthas. However, it is not at all feasible from the historical context to take it in this sense of mechanical combination, hence it should be disregarded. Also, we may be able to analyze Dhyanastava in the aspects of meditation, types of meditation, meditator, and result. Meditation is defined in verse 6; classification of meditation is treated in verses 8-23 (agamic) and 24-36 (non-agamic ); desirable nature of the meditator, that is, of dharmya and sukla dhyana, is dealt in verses 7, 13-14, 38-92. Verses 13 and 14 are specifically concerned with dharmya dhyana, however, as sukla dhyana is said to be "verily virtuous with profound purity," it should, of course, demand these qualities. The result of meditation is implied in the expression, such as, "the cause of deliverance," in verses 8, 36 and so forth. Thus, before Hemacandra, there were two kinds of classification of dhyana, old and new, existing side by side. Page #25 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 38 Hemacandra does not recognize arta and raudra dhyana. He groups the four sthas together with the four agamic subdivisions of dharmya dhyana under the object of meditation. Dharmya dhyana has herein two different categories of classification, which is still a deviated practice from the traditional viewpoint. These two categories must be somehow coalesced into one. Subhacandra accepts all the four agamic divisions of dhyana, and subordinates the four sthas beautifully to the last subdivision of dharmya dhyana, samsthana-vicaya, to which these fit best. Herein, the derivative category is most logically fused into the traditional category, which puts an end to its transition process towards integration. Whether Yogasastra borrowed ideas from Jnonarnava, or vice versa, is a point of controversy, and I am far from its judge. Conceptually both are very close to each other. However, Jnanarnava is generally presented in the more well organized form, that is, thoroughly detailed and orthodox as the standard work of Jaina dhyana than Yogasastra. From this standpoint, it is improbable to assume that the above process can be reversed. That is, if Hemacandra had copied Subhacandra's classification of dharmya dhyana, which is evidently the most intelligible form of all without contradicting the Agamas, he would have accepted it, and would not have allowed to it to have those two kinds of classification. However, it may be dangerous to infer that Hemacandra was succeeded by Subhacandra from the above ground alone, because it is also possible to view that Hemacandra's attitude is more rational, and his presentation is more succinct, therefore Page #26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ he was preceded by Subhacandra. To decide the relative chronology of Hemacandra and Subhacandra, still we have to wait for the future studies based on the close conceptual comparison of the works of the two authors in the trend of Jaina thought. : This analysis concerning the treatment of the nonagamic classification of dhyana leads by itself to suggest the date of our author. He was preceded by Amitagati (c. 1000 A. D.) and succeeded by Hemacandra (10881172 A. D.). We are not yet quite sure of the date of Subhacandra (scholars argue about it variously ranging from 9th to 13th century), hence leaving him aside from our consideration at present, I would like to take the known date of Hemacandra for the basis of my inference. There is the obvious lapse of time between Dhyanastava and Yogasastra, and a certain period of time should be allowed in between. Dr. Bhargava says in his Jaina Ethics (p. 244). "He completed his Yogasastra in about 1160 A. D." So it may be reasonable to assign the lower limit of Bhaskaranandi's date at the beginning of the !2th century. This hypothetical date can be supported on the ground that Bhaskaranandi was not yet affected by the Vira Saiva movement which started in the middle of the 12th century. In his Tattvarthavrtti 1:1, he quotes Yasastilaka in order to refute the heretical dogmas on the nature and expedient of liberation, And if he were alive in the middle of this movement, he could have retorted them with criticisms in some way. The fact that he quoted the work of Somadeva who lived in the 10th century suggests that he survived in the period when the Page #27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 26 Jainas could still pursue their way of life in relatively calm religious environment. It is true that Ramanuja's Vaisnava sect was already powerful in the beginning of the 12th century. However, their argument was mainly turned against the Sankara School of Vedanta, and even the King Visnuvardhana (1110-41 A. D.) who was converted from Jaina dharma to Vaisnava belief (?) is said to have shown tolerance to the other religions. Now, Amitagati is generally placed as the contemporary of Nemicandra, i. e., as of flourished in c.a. 1,000 A.D. It is hard to calculate how much temporal distance should be allowed between Amitagati and Bhaskaranandi. However, it may be safe enough to assume the upper limit of Bhaskaranandi's date as of the early 11th century. Then, we might be able to assign Bhaskaranandi's flourished date broadly somewhere from the early 11th through the early 12th century. By the term flourished date, it is meant here specifically as the date of his Dhyanastava. However, Tattvarthavrtti must have been completed shortly before that, hence it can be said as the date of his two works which are now existent. III. AUTHOR Bhaskaranandi is the author of Tattvarthavrtti and Dhyanastava, which are his only titles known to us existent at present. He was, no doubt, a learned scholar, well acquainted with the works, e.g., Samadhisataka, Dhyanasataka, Yasastilaka, Dravyasangraha, Gommatasara, Sravakacara, and of course, with Astadhyayi, Jainendravyakarana, Sarvarthasiadhi, Rajavartika, and Slokavartika. Page #28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 27 These are the titles referred in his two works, and his Tattvarthauptti is actually a reduction of the last three works. Its subtitle, Sukhabodha or Its easy comprehension, well indicates the aim of the commentary. He wrote it for the sake of slow readers in a simple style, in which he brings his genius into full play. His attitude is that of an orthodox pandit, but not of a witic. Yogadeva's Tattvorthasutra-sukhabodhavitti is a commentary on his Vrtti or Sukhabodha. Tattuarthasutratika called Sukkhabodhini by Ravinandin also seems like a commentary on either of the above two titles, of which I am not quite certain. From the prasasti to Sukhabodhavstti, we can easily assume that Bhaskaranandi's Tattvarthavrtti was popularly read in the South. It may be true even at this present era, because Mr. H. R. Rangaswamy Iyengar writes in the introduction to his Tattvarthavrtti. edited by Pt. A. Santiraja Sastri, "Its publication was undertaken at the request of many Jain scholars." The Dhyanastava is also presented in the same manner of clarity with calin tone, developing topics step by step in the rational order. Its last three stanzas are virtually the echo of the prasasti to his Vrtti, which must have been supplied by someone, e.g., his disciple or scribe. Bhaskaranandi is herein introduced as the disciple of Jinacandra Bhattaraka whose teacher was a reverent sage called Sarvasadhu. There is again a prasasti attached to the end of each chapter of the Vstti, which must be again the interpolation by the same hand. It is an eulogy on his direct teacher, Jinacandra, which reads as follows: Page #29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 28 The [Tenth] Chapter is concluded, of Tattvarthavrtti or Sukhabodha, a great commentary [ of Tattvarthasutra ], written by Pandita Sri Bhaskaranandi, disciple of Sri Jinacandra Bhattaraka, Mahasaiddhanta, the moon, the beam of jewels, attended by the stars, glittering and sparkling in the dome of the sky, the garland of pearls, and quivering planets; the spotless moon for the people, with the noblest body; upon having burnt up the bound fuel of destructive karmas amassed by the fire of pure dhyana, radiant flame, he became an omniscient, perfectly pure; by him beheld was the innate nature of the entire universe and non-universe; by him diffused was the doctrine of souls and non-souls, the philosophy of Paramesvara, the Lord of Jinas; he accomplished the state called the perfect, the most honoured state of the self. The lineage of Sarvasadhu-Jina candra-Bhaskaranandi has not yet been verified. Bhaskaranandi did not seem to be on the chair of Bhattaraka, and many scholars have already tried to identify which Jinacandra Bhattaraka was his teacher in the Jaina pattavali. There are many acaryas known by name of Jinacandra : 1) Jinacandra, 950 A. D., disciple of Candinandi (or Candranandi), mentioned in his poem, Santinathapurana. 2) Jinacandrasuri, disciple of Jinesvarasuri in Kharataragaccha and author of Samvegarangasala, composed in 1,067 A. D. Page #30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 3) Jinacandra, referred in Sravanabelgola inscription 55 (69), built in c. saka 1,022 (1,100 A. D.). 4) Jinacandra, mentioned in Bakkhalagere inscription, built in saka 1,320 (1,398 A. D.). 5) Jinacandra, mentioned in Vindhyagiri inscription no. 105 (254), built in saka 1,320 (1,398 A. D.). 6) Bhactaraka Jinacandra, mentioned in Govinda's Purusarthanusasanam ( c. 15th century ? ). 7) Jinacandra, known as Bhattaraka Jinacandra, disciple of Subhacandra and teacher of Medhavi (15th century). : There should be many other Jinacandras, and nearly thirty Jinacandrasuris up to modern times are listed in the Descriptive catalogue of Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, V.17, pt. 5, p. 182-185. Now, from the known and inferred data, there are a few factors to be taken into consideration in identifying which Jinacandra is likely the teacher of our Bhaskara. nandi : 1) The teacher of our Jinacandra was called Sarva sadhu. 2) The hypothetical date of Bhaskaranandi falls in the early 11th through the early 12th century. Then, Jinacandra's date should be searched broadly somewhere in the late 10th through the late 11th century. 3) Bhaskaranandi is a Digambara pandit as he salutes Pujyapada and Vidyanandi in his Vstti. Hence, Jinacandra must be a Digambara monk.. Page #31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 4) Jinacandra is mentioned as Bhattaraka. All Jinacandras listed above cannot satisfy the first necessary condition. Regarding the second, the first three Jinacandras alone can meet the condition, and the rest are eliminated from further consideration. Regarding the third provision, the second Jinacandra who belongs to Svetambara Kharatara gaccha fails to be qualified. Now, the first and the third Jinacandra are left out. Both of them are not designated as Bhattaraka. The first Jinacandra is a Karnataka poet, flourished in 950 A. D. Then, he is a contemporary of Somadeva. Should this Jinacandra be the teacher of our author, Bhaskaranandi must be a contemporary or even a senior contemporary of Nemicandra," Camungaraya, and Amitagati. This is improbable, hence, he is also dropped. Then, the third Jinacandra, referred in Sravanabelgola inscription no. 55 (69), alone remains as the possible teacher of our author.. Let us now investigate if this Jinacandra can be verified as the teacher of our Bhaskaranandi, who was called by the title of Bhatjaraka and whose teacher was known by name, Sarvasadhu. First of all, let us exanine how the third Jinacandra is described in Sravanabelgola inscription. On the pillar facing the south, it is read : Should he be comparable to Pajyapada in grammar, Bhacta Akalanka in all the doctrines and logic, and Bharavi in literature; he is a poet and convincing great disputant, full of eloquence. Page #32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ His physical appearance meets a good reputation in the songs, music, and dances, in this and the other places. Be he ever firm as Sri Yogi, who is worshipped by the people at his feet, Jinacandra, untiring Munindra. On the north side of the same pillar, Jinacandra is quoted as Panditadera. Many acaryas are listed in this inscription, including Caturmukhadeva, the eldest, Gopanandi, Maghanandi, and other younger brother monks, who are all said to be the contemporary students of Devendra, also known as Siddhantadeva, who belonged to Vakra gaccha, Destya gana of Mula sangha. Therein, Jinacandra is not at all mentioned as Bhattaraka. However, the descriptions of him given in this pillar inscription and in the colophon of Tattvarthavstti are assuredly of the same person. In both descriptions, Jinacandra appears to be noble in the physical appearance. The colophon of the Vrtii gives a beautiful imagery of him as the moon of the public. He must have been a very handsome monk, apparently fit to be punned on his name. The pillar inscription, obviously written by the same donors of the stone insoription no. 492, is full of charming words of adoration of their handsome Yogi. He is mentioned as Mahasaiddhanta or Panditadeva, a scholar comparable to Pajya pada and Akalarka. He is described as an Omniscient or Yogisvara, and he was certainly worshipped and adored by the people. The laymen's expression is admittedly different from that of the clergymen, however, this third Jina candra is doubtlessly identical with the teacher Page #33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 32 of our Bhaskaranandi. And in that case, it is convincing that our author wrote a commentary on Tattvarthasutra, and Dhyanastava in the form of verse. The stone inscription no. 492 in Halebelgola reads that Hoysala King Tribhuvanamalla Ereyanga donated Racanahalla village to Gopanandi, disciple of Caturmukha, in saka 1,015 ( 1,093 A. D.) for the sake of repairing the temple at Belgola. The lineage of Desi gana Vakra gaccha is illustrated in Jaina Silalekha sangraha, v. 1, as follows: MULA SANGHA Kundakunda I Umasvami Gunanandi Devendra Saiddhantika Desigana Vakragaccha Caturmukha (Vrsabhanandi) Gopanandi Maghanandi Prabhacandra, Damanandi, Gunacandra, Maladhari, Meghacandra Jinacandra, Devendra, Kalyanakirti Vasacandra, Yasahkirti, Balacandra Subhakirti T Nandigana Page #34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Caturmukhadeva, who is also known as Vrsabhanandi, is said to be so called, because he observed eight days of fasting facing towards the four directions. The description of him in the inscription no. 55 ( 69 ) and no. 492 is identical, which roughly reads as follows : Glory to Caturmukha, lord of yogis, forest-born is his heart, king of hours in the forest. A cruel lion, engaged in austerity, where elephants crush themselves in the sweat of furious passion of love. Caturmukha who used to practise severe austerity in such a place is likened by the lay villagers to a cruel lion. Our verse 99 also depicts Sarvasadhu's life in the strict yogic observances. Both descriptions are rather convincing of the same yogi who is devotedly engaged in the ascetic duties with strikingly unusual severity. Is there any evidence that this Caturmukha alias Vnsabhanandi was also called Sarvasadhu ? In fact, it is not impossible to read his name, Vrsabhanandi, in the final verse of the prasasti to Tattvarthavrtti : sisyo bhaskaranandi-nama-vibudhas-tasyabhavat tattvavit tenakari sukhadi-bodha-visaya tattvartha-vsttih sphutam Thus, Vf-sa-bha-nandi can be recognized in the reversed order. Since the proper names are distinctly inentioned in this prasasti, it may be a far-fetched idea to find a hidden name in it. However, Sarvasadhu sounds Page #35 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ to be a more popular, pseudonymous name as much as Caturmukha is, and Vtsabhanandi sounds more to be his official name. And it is probable that Vssabhanandi was popularly called Caturmukha by laymen, and Sarvasadhu by ascetics In any case, he must have surely been a sarva-sadhu, the sage of all. Although the above two descriptions are quite convincing of the same ascetic, I am not confident enough it Vnsabhanandi alias Sarva. sadhu can be verified with this much of evidence. Gopanandi was donated a village by the Hoysala King in 1,093 A. D. It is not known how old he was then, nor how long he survived thence. Doubtlessly, he flourished at that time. Prabhacandra who is listed in the Sravanabelgola inscription no. 55 ( 69 ) is supposed by Pt. Mahendra Kumar Shastri to be the author of Prameyakamalamarttanda, Tattvarthavrtti-padavivarana ( commentary of Sarvurthasiddhi ) and so on. On this basis, Pandit suggests his date as of 980-1065 A, D. If it could be so, Prabhacandra was at the age of 85 in 1065, which means that he was a great elder contemporary of Gopanandi who was still active in 1093 A. D. This pillar inscription is documented as of being built around 1,100 A. D., in which Jinacandra is honoured as the Munindra and Panditadeva with high reputation in siddhanta, literature and speech. Several other acaryas are therein also designated as Panditadevas. As he was called Panditadeva, he should have already accomplished some contribution to the society. It should mean that by 1,100 A. D., he had already produced active students who had established him as Panditadeva. He was a Page #36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ younger contemporary of Gopanandi, hence his age should be close to the latter, e.g. in the 40's or 50's. Also what is rather strange about his description in such a religious inscription is that he is told as a handsome ascetic who has gained popularity even in the songs, music, and dances. If he were then a young pandit in the 20's or 30's, his donors would least likely engrave on the monument about his physical beauty and popularity, howsoever great pandit he could have been. This seems to be a paradoxical proof that he was then an elderly yogi, indifferent to his past fame. And still more, the public might have adored him, and worshipped him, and wished that may he ever live and remain firm as Srt Yogi. So he must be at least in the 40's or 50's by 1,100 A. D. He is not therein called Bhattaraka. Then, we can speculate that Jinacandra must have become Bhatlaraka some years later before he aged too further. I assume from the context that the colophons of the Vitti which announce Jinacandra as Bhatyaraka were interpolated by someone. This interpolation was, then, done after Jinacandra became Bhaggaraka. The colophon attached to its each chapter pronounces that he attained to the state of perfection. It means that he was dead when it was interpolated. Now, we do not know when he was appointed to and resigned from the post of Bhatfaraka, nor when he passed away. Also if the age of Jinacandra could be as such in 1,100 A. D., his disciple, Bhaskaranandi, might be even able to have completed his works by that time. From these assumptions, we Page #37 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ may be able to think of three possible occasions regarding the date of his texts and colophons : 1) Bhaskaranandi completed his texts by 1,100 A, D, and the colophons were added after Jinacandra passed away. He accomplished them at the time when his teacher was on the chair of Bhagfaraka, and the prasastis were supplied after his death. Bhaskaranandi finished them after the death of his teacher, and the colophons were interpolated immediately after the completion of the texts by a scribe or much later than that. Our verse 99, which is copied from the prasasti to the Vstti, narrates the life of Sarvasadhu who had been dead for sometime. He is quoted by the word 'iti ( thus told )', which means that the interpolator did not know him directly. The prasasti attached to the end of each chapter of the Vstti is devoted for the eulogy on the dead sage, Jinacandra, whose life is esteemed with reverence and admiration in the tender tone of his fresh remem. brance. It gives an impression that it was written not so long after the death of Jinacandra. It gives more of this impression, as it is repeated at the end of each chapter of the Vstti. And it is possible that Bhaskara. nandi himself preferred the arrangement of colophon in such a way in the memory of his teacher. It seems to me the last case above is most feasible of all that Bhaskaranandi probably completed his works shortly after the death of Jinacandra, and the colophons were Page #38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ added at the same time when they were written down by his disciple. However, since there is no conclusive factor from the known data to support this conjecture, it is impossible to speculate about it further closely. There. fore, if the lower limit of the hypothetical date of Dhyanastava cannot be fixed later than the early 12th century, we have to take this hypothetical date as it is. In any case, with all this information, it should not be too far from the fact to assume that Bhaskaranandi flourished in the beginning of the 12th century, e.g., 1,110's or 1,120's. Thus, somehow his biographical data is established that Bhaskaranandi was a Digambara pandit in Vakra gaccha, Desi gana of Mula sangha, who probably flourished in the early 12th century as a disciple of Jinacandra, somewhere in the South, possibly around Sravanabelgola. His personal life is not totally traceable at present. Several scholars have already tried to verify the date and lineage of Bhaskaranandi, which is to be introduced here in short. Pt. Santiraja Sastri suggests the date of Bhaskaranandi in his introduction to Tattvarthavrtti (p. 47-8) as of the late 13th ( to the early 14th ) century, on the ground of the date of Maghanandi who is listed immediately before Jinacandra in the Sravanabelgola inscription no. 55 ( 69 ). He takes the date of Maghanandi as of 1,250 A. D. This pillar inscription was built in c. 1,100 A. D., hence it is difficult to accept his opinion. Nathurama Premi Ji in Jain sahitya aur itihasa (p. 378-9 ) and jugalakisor Mukhtar Ji in Jaina grantha prasasti sangraha ( v. 1, p. 35-6 ) suggest various possible Page #39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 32 Jinacandras, including Jinacandra quoted by Pt. Santiraja Sastri, whose view is somehow supported by the latter. Pt. K. Bhujabali Sastri mentions in his Prasasti sangraha (p. 178) that Bhaskaranandi's name appears also in the vstti to Nyayakumudacandra as a disciple of Devanandi who is a student of Saukhyanandi in Nandi sangha. These predescessors' views have guided me in this small study, particularly that of Santiraja Sastri, for which I would like to express my humble appreciation. POSTSCRIPT I had myself suspected that sarvasadhu could not be a proper name, and had indicated with sufficient justification that it might stand for Caturmukha alias Vrsabhanandi, which name is intelligently concealed by the author himself in one of his verse as shown by me (cf. Introduction, p. 32). And Jinacandra is a pupil of Vrsabhanandi (cf. the geneology of p. 3.), and our Bhaskaranandi is a pupil of Jinacandra who might have been called a Bhattaraka later on. Dr. Upadhye draws my attention to a note on Bhaskaranandi (in Mahavira Jayanti Smarika, Jayapur, 1972, pt. 2, pp. 21-22) by the late Pt. Milapacandraji Katariya. Pt. Katariya also agrees with me that sarvasadhu could not be a proper name. Referring to the final line of the verse 99 (cf. Text, p. 9), Pt. Katariya suggests to read 'subhayati' for 'Subhagati'. And identifying this subhayati as Subhacandra, he reads the poem as follows : Subhacandra Muni Page #40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (Bhattaraka wearing clothes ), upon taking paryanka posture, at the end of sannyasa, became sarvasadhu ( naked Digambara ascetic), who should be worshipped. He identifies this Subhacandra as the disciple of padmanandi, who survived during 1450-1507 V. S. (1932-1499 A. D.). Subhacandra was on the seat of Bhattaraka in Jayapur, which was succeeded by Jinacandra, the author of Siddhantasara, whose date is 1507-1571 V. S. (14491519 A. D). Medhavi, the author of Sravakacara is the disciple of Jinacandra, and Pandit opines that Bhaskaranandi was likewise his pupil, whose date may fall sometime in 1600 V. S. It may also be noted here that years back (Siddhantas aradisangrahah, Bombay, 1921, Introduction, p. 7), the late Pt. Nathuram Premi had suggested that this Bhaskaranandi could be the pupil of Jinacandra mentioned in the Sravanabelgol inscription No. 55 (possibly the author of Siddhantasara). He also mentioned casually the other Jinacandra whose teacher was Subhacandra. Perhaps from this Pt. Katariya seems to have taken the clue in suggesting the reading of subhayati for subhagati. Looking into the meaning, subhayati is just expected at the end of sannyasa, after which anyone can become a worthy sadhu, to be respected by all. This reading perfectly fits to the context of the verse, And if subhayati could stand for Subhacandra, it certainly clears out the problem of the lineage of Bhattaraka Jina candra, as its evidence is well endorsed by the dana prasasti of Tiloya pannatti by Medhavi and by the other epigraphical This Jinacandra is identified with the one sources. 39 Page #41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ yo enumerated by me in the serial no. 7 (cf. Introduction, p. 28). Then, according to Pt. Katariya's opinion, Bhaskaranandi belongs to Mula sangha, Sarasvati gaccha, Balatkara gana, sometime in the 16th century A. D., possibly in Rajasthan. However, no evidence is yet brought forth in the MSS. that his suggested reading subhayati stands for Subhacandra. And as I mentioned in the Introduction, there is a definite distance between Bhaskaranandi and Hemacandra as to the concept of the non-agamic divisions of dharmya dhyana such as pindastha, which are introduced after the exposition of all the agamic divisions of dhyana with a very ambiguous expression, "uktameva punardeva sarvam" dhyanam caturvidham (verse 24 )". We can understand this line only when we know how Amitagati classified dhyana, whom Bhaskaranandi followed. Should Bhaskaranandi be preceded by Hemacandra, it is impossible for us to expect that he presents the four sthas in such a manner as discussed in the Introduction and in such a context, because he is the author capable of elucidating the concept precisely and systematically as evidenced in his Tattvarthavrtti. Also I have not yet come across in his Vytti any citation that Bhaskaranandi made from the other authors later than 13th century A. D. This is the reason why I disregarded the serial no. 7 from further consideration for verifying the lineage of the author. Pt. Katariya's suggestion to read 'subhayati' for 'subhagati' is very much inspiring, although it is not convincing enough for me to accept him as Subhacandra for the reason as I have given above. However, it is Page #42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ better that the date of Bhaskaranandi is kept open until we have more conclusive evidence. Incidentally, Bhaskaranandi's name appears in some epigraphical sources. One occurs in the inscription in Hungund, Bombay, dated 1074 A. D., listing Bhaskaranandi Pandita in Mala sangha, Surastha gana and Chitrakuta anvaya (cf. Jainism in South India and Some Jaina Epigraphs, by P. B. Desai, Sholapur, 1957, pp. 107-8): The other is found in a nisidhilekha of 1077-78 A. D. in Laksmesvara (Mysore ), informing samadhimarana of Bhaskaranandi Panditadeva (cf. Jainasilalekha sangraha, pt. 4, ed. by Joharapurakara, 1965, p. 113). Finally, I would like to add here that Yogindra refers to the four-sthas in his Yogasara 97. It reads that a wise man who honours pindastha, padastha, likewise, rupastha and rupatita as taught by Jina, attains easily through them to the highest and pure state of Self. The theme and tone of Yogasara is similar to his Paramatmaprakasa. And it is interesting enough that the technical terms pertaining to dhyana such as dharmya and sukla do not occur in Yogasara This doha enumerating pindastha etc. without any explanation is preceded by that which seems like dealing with sukla dhyana. It is most likely that these are treated under the head of the object of meditation, independently from the traditional classification of dhyana as Amitagati did. It certainly indicates that these divisions are foreign to the traditional category of Jaina yoga. This may suggest that these four divisions had gained popularity among the Jains at the time of Page #43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 42 Yogindra, however, we do not know how far and in what manner these terms were understood by him. Scholars place Yogindra variously from 6th to 11th century A. D. BIBLIOGRAPHY Amitagati : Sravakacara, ed. by Rajmal Barjatya. (Muni Anantakirti Digambara Jaina granthamala, v. 1, 2 ) Bombay, 1922.

Salutation to the Perfect Souls. A HYMN ON DHYANA Composed by Bhaskaranandi Him, who is known as the supreme knowledge, free of hindrance, possessed of the qualities, such as bliss, The perfect soul, by testimony, the universal self, the omniscient, the destroyer of all evils, Him, full of infinite attributes, do I extol with my devotion to meditation * and my truthful songs of eulogy, The highest self, the lord of the universe, so that I may attain to perfection. 3 Should a right believer free of attachment attain to perfection, the realization of the innate self, By devoting himself to the purity of dhyana or concentration of mind, upon comprehending Reality. Page #99 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ bhAskaranandi-viracitaH Or gaining attributes, such as infinite knowledge, verily in the absence of Karmas, is taught by you To be perfection, the realization of the innate self, or the revelation of the essential self. 5 If the meditating self does not shine forth in its inherent nature of knowledge, It is recited by you not to be dhyana, Oh Lord, as it originally belongs to the state of delusion. Restraining thought activities clinging to various objects to one point, Is taught by you, Oh Lord, to be dhyana, which is neither inactivity nor nil of thought. To him who realizes the nature of self as knowledge, indifferent by nature, Is clearly revea led Reality, to the knower of the highest self. 8 Dhyana is fourfold, i.e, arta or painful, and raudra or harmful, likewise, dharmya or virtuous, and sukla or pure.

Page #101 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ bhAskaranandi-viracitaH . 13 He who abides in this virtue is dharmya or virtuous, who is of four characteristics: He who is possessed of tenfold virtu es, such as supreme forbearance, he who knows the nature of Reality and the final beatitude likewise. 14 A right believer endowed with knowledge and conduct, and he who is no more agitated by deluding Karmas: To him should belong the nature of virtue, which indeed causes blessing. 15 Dharmya dhyana abiding in this virtue is manifold, which occurs to the ascetics In the 6th and 7th stages, prior to ascending the two ladders of subsidence and destruction. 16 Primarily, this dharmya dhyana occurs, Oh Lord, to those in the three spiritu al stages, i.e., ascetics in the 6th and 7th stages, and laymen in the 5th stage. Sukla dhyana, verily virtuous with profound purity, is fourfold, which should arise to the saints on the two spiritual ladders. Page #102 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ dhyAnastavaH 17 With conceptual thinking and with shifting, the first type of sukla dhyana is called prthaktva or diverse aspects. But the second [i.e., ekatva] is free of shifting, with conceptual thinking on a single aspect of an object. 18 Vitarka or conceptual thinking should be scriptural knowledge, vicara or shifting, altering threefold activities, words, and objects, from one to the other. So contemplating on various objects is described as prthaktva. 19 These two divisions of sukla dhyana, based on scriptural knowledge with [or without] alteration of the objects of contemplation, are said, Oh Lord, To occur to the sages well-versed in Purvas, with threefold activities and one activity, in due order. 61 20 To the omniscient ascetic in the 13th spiritual stage with subtle bodily activity, Should arise this sukla dhyana, Oh Lord, called suksmakriya-pratipati or unfailing subtle bodily activity. Page #103 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ bhAskaranandi-viracitaH 21 Samucchinna-kriya or complete destruction of activity, the infallible fourth division of sukla dhyana, Should occur to the omniscient in the final stage, free of vibration, whose soul's entire spatial units remain immovable. 22 Upon the eradication of deluding karmas, mental activity resting on various objects is no more existent; Dhyana in this state of restraint alone is called samucchinna-kriya, Oh Lord. Jinendras suppress their vibratory activities, partially or entirely, Or from the standpoint of past, samucchinna-kriya should occur to them in a meta phorical sense. 24 Furthermore, it is verily said, Oh Lord, that dhyana is all classified into four kinds, i.e., pindastha or contemplation on a body, padastha or that on mantric syllables, rupastha or that on qualities of the embodied soul, and rupavarjita (rupatita) or that on the perfect soul.

By meditating on you alone, Oh Lord, extolled is dhyana, as the pindastha. 29 By uttering your name as mantra, as the object of concentration, Oh Lord, And by muttering prayers (japa), invoked is dhyana. the padastha, by your grace.

Page #107 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ bhAskaranandi-viracitaH 38 He, who knows truly the nine categories to be known, constituting sevenfold principles, Which are classified into souls and non-souls, comprising six substances, of which five are with spatial extension, 39 By pramana or valid knowledge, naya or standpoint, and niksepa or aspect, Should a right believer with knowledge and conduct, the internal self, be he ever competent enough to realize you, Oh Lord. 40 Souls and non-souls, merit and demerit, influx and stoppage, Dissociation, bondage, and liberation are considered to be the nine categories of Reality. 41 Therein, a soul is characterized by consciousness in your doctrine, Oh Lord. And consciousness is like wise consisting of knowledge and perception. Page #108 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ EuroTT: . : 42: [From the empirical point of view,] a soul is engaged in the activities, pleasant or unpleasant, and in their consequences; [From the essential point of view,] a soul is there, in the form of consciousness as supreme as it can be. 43 Now, that which manifests the object by discriminative judgment is knowledge, Oh Lord, Which is proclaimed as of eight divisions, falling into the category of right and wrong. 44 Right sensory knowledge, right scriptural knowledge, right visual knowledge, mental know ledge, and omniscience; Thus the category of right knowledge consisting of five belongs to a right believer. 45 Wrong sensory knowledge, wrong scriptural knowledge, and visual knowledge called wrong; These triad of knowledge, likewise resorts to a mis believer, Oh Lord. Page #109 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 68 bhAskaranandi-viracitaH 46 Mere apprehension of the existence of an object is produced in general; This is accepted as perception, Oh Lord, which is of four divisions besides. 4.7 Assisted by eyes, and likewise assisted by the other non-ocular sense-organs, It is generated to a man, * based on visual know ledge, and omniscience. 48 This perception is produced prior to discriminative knowledge to a man of imperfect knowledge. Perfect knowledge and perfect perception arise simultaneously to an omniscient. 49 In your holy scriptures are mentioned the characteristics of souls and non-souls with opposite nature, Which certainly fall into the divisions with and without material form. Page #110 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ dhyAnastavaH 50 Auspicious thought activity should be psychical merit imparting happiness, And a karma matter becoming the state of thought activity be material merit, as it is called. 51 Demerit, devoid of the characteristics of merit, is of material and psychical nature. In short, thus I understand, by your grace, Oh Lord. 52 Due to his thought activity, karmas flow into a being; this is influx. Or vibratory activity with subdivisions, such as attachment, is material inflow of karmas. 53 Hindrance of influx comprising the nature called physical and psychical, Is accomplished manifoldly by austerity, control, and so forth; verily this is stoppage. Page #111 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 70 recafea-fazfan: 54. Karmas disappear upon their energy being consumed, through penance or after a period of duration; This is called dissociation, which is of physical and psychical nature. 55 The union of karma matters with a soul in its spatial units should be material bondage. Psychical bondage should be due to a man's vicious mental activity. 56 Because of the absence of the causes of bondage and because of the karmic dissociation, The exhaustion of his own karmas in the form of physical and psychical nature is said to be liberation. 57 Sevenfold principles should be the very categories of Reality. Merit and demerit are included, whenever desired, in bondage or influx alone. Page #112 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ dhyAnastavaH 71 58 Reality consists of souls, matters, medium of motion, medium of rest, and space alone, "Time also," thus enumerated by you, Oh Lord, which are named as substances. 59 The soul is endowed with the retention of life principle; it should be manifold. From the particular standpoint, these life principles, which are of material and psychical nature, are of two kinds. 60 Possessed of eightfold touch, fivefold taste and colour, and twofold smell, fitly, Matters are of twofold, according to the distinction of molecules and atoms. 61 Therein, matters in gross forms are provided with qualities or modes, such as sound and union. Some matters are of the function to assist souls, and others, of mutual assistance. Page #113 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 72 bhAskaranandi - viracitaH 62 Souls and matters are described by Jina to be possessed of action. The medium of motion is considered as the [neutral] cause of their movement; likewise, the medium of rest, of their repose. 63 Now, that which is capable of giving accommodation to all the substances is space, Which should be known as of twofold, according to the division of the universe and non-universe. 64 Noumenal time is characterized by continuity in your holy scriptures, Oh Lord. Phenomenal time based on the action of objects is the index of the existence of real time. 65 These sixfold substances are said as possessed of attributes, such as self-existence. However, the fivefold substances beginning with souls are called bodies, due to their nature of aggregation, occupying many space-points. Page #114 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ dhyAnastavaH 66 Since time occupies one indivisible space-point, there is, truly, no spatial extension. In the innumerable space-points of the universe, every single time-unit does abide. 67 The medium of motion, medium of rest, and each soul pervade innumerable space-points: Space permeates infinite spatial units: Matters are, likewise, of three kinds of penetration [i.e., of numerable, innumerable, and infinite space-points]. 68 Pramana is the valid knowledge of an object; it is free of the nature, such as delusion. It is of five kinds, e.g., sensory knowledge, which are of two categories, by the distinction of direct and indirect knowledge. . 73 69 Naya or standpoint is a knower's approach to an object in the range of its substance and modes. In your holy scriptures, Oh Arhan, it is twofold, real and empirical, which I myself extol. Page #115 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 08 0X bhAskaranandi-viracitaH : 70 Now, that which ascertains the substance or its modes as they are, Is explained as the real standpoint; the other, the empirical standpoint. 71 Or the real standpoint is concerned with the range of an object, established by the same agent, action, and so forth; While the empirical standpoint is stated, Oh Lord, to be devoid of such characteristics. 72 Naya is again considered, Oh Lord, according to the substantive and modal standpoints. All these are the subdivisions of scriptural knowledge, which are manifold according to the manifold differences of objects. 73 Installation of the fundamentals of Reality, such as souls, and of right know ledge, etc., by truth, For the sake of worldly transaction is taught to be niksepa or aspect. Page #116 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ dhyAnastavaH 74 And it is referred to as of four divisions, according to the distinction, such as naming. Expressing an object to be expressed is nama or naming, irrespective of the other causes. 75 An image should be known as sthapana or representation. The thing already attained its certain modes in the past, Or attaining them in the future, is told to be dravya or substance in the sense of naya. 76 The very substance attained by certain present modes should be bhava or present state. So is this well known . in the religion of Jina. 77 The path to liberation for the potential souls is expou nded by you, Oh Lord, Consisting of the triad of right faith, right know ledge and right conduct. 78 Believing that this alone is the supreme Reality as so ascertained, Of a soul free of perverted attitude and pride, is verily right faith. Page #117 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ bhAskaranandi-viracitaH 79 It arises to some souls by intuition, and likewise by the acquisition of knowledge of Reality. Thus two causes are prescribed by your exposition, Oh Lord. 80 Nisarga should mean one's inborn disposition. Provided with the subsidence, etc., of his own karmas, That which is produced on this very basis, is the faith derived by intuition. 81 While that which is originated on the basis of the instruction of others, Is told by you, Oh Lord, to be the belief derived by the acquisition of knowledge. 82 Moreover, right faith is explained to be the cause of karmic destruction, Which is of two kinds; one should be with attachment, and the other, without attachment. 83 Now, by serenity, by liking for liberation, by compassion, and by faithfulness, Faith becomes manifest in a soul; this is the faith of a man with attachment. Page #118 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ dhyAnastavaH st 84 However, purity itself of a man is accepted as the faith without attachment. Faith is explained by you as of twofold, Oh Lord, also as of threefold as below: 85 Wrong belief, initial stage of slightly clouded right belief, and right and wrong belief; And fourfold passions, such as anger, which are the causes of endless rebirth; These are called faith-delu ding-karmas, constituting sevenfold type-karmas. When these are subsided, faith is regarded as subsidential. 87 When these are destroyed, Oh Lord, faith is accepted by you as destructive, perfectly pure. By the premature realization of the slightly-clouded-right-belief-karma, similarly derived is the fruition of the rest of the six faith-deluding-karmas. Page #119 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ bhAskaranandi-viracitaH Now, the faith derived by inborn disposition is verily the Vedaka. That right faith is certainly as such, for those alone, longing for deliverance. 89 Ascertainment of the essential categories of Reality, such as souls, as they really are, Is called right knowledge, which rests on right belief. 90 A learned, free of attachment, whose thought activities, auspicious and thankful, An upholder of right faith to shun undergoing the whirlpool of rebirth, 91 Restraining his activities, the causes of attracting karma matters, He, who strives after emancipation, should be possessed of right conduct, which is, certainly, the cause of release. Page #120 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ dhyAnastavaH 92 The triad of jewels, such as right faith, together constitutes the cause of liberation. As ailment is cured by depending on drugs, so also deliverance, by depending on the trio. 93 You are of surpassing infinite qualities. How possibly could you be laudable for me ! Nevertheless, thus spoken to you alone, Oh Lord, from my devotion to dhyana. You are not pleased, nor displeased, nor infatuated with anybody. Nevertheless, am I bound to adore you, "Thou hast reached the perfect state." 95 In this way, with a fit motive and an evident purpose, "Thou art a benefactor;" thus glorified you are, Oh Lord, by this small but pleasing song of eulogy. Page #121 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ co bhAskaranandi-viracitaH 96 You never yield to displeasure or pleasure, Oh Lord, with anything or with anybody. Yet a mortal attains fruits from you by himself, with his mind intent upon you. 97 Thus, in short, stated with devotion in the form of a hymn, By the knower of a little, not out of pride in poetic skill. 98 If any mistake be found here in the meaning and word, due to the state of my imperfect knowledge, May it be kindly corrected with the purity of intention. 99 He would spit not, lies not down carelessly, says not to the other, "Come," "Go," but let him come or go as he may, He would scratch not his body, walks not at night, would open not his door nor close it, He depends not on anything, he was thus told, endowed with virtuous qualities. Having taken the paryanka posture, at the end of renunciation, he attained to the auspicious state. Venerable he was, Sarvasadhu, the Saint of All.
