________________ This publication is a collection of papers that are selected from those which were presented by scholars from all over India on the occasion of a Seminar organised in the year 1986 on the Jain Canonical Literature by the Prakrit and Pali Department of the School of Languages, Gujarat University, Ahmedabad with the financial aid of the U. G.C., New Delhi. In the present volume there is not merely a one sided study based on the Jaina Agama Sahitya only but one will find that a comparative study is made taking into account the Vedic and the Buddhist literature as well as the modern Science. In this way it is an important contribution to the Indological Studies. The topics that are covered by this book are tentatively as follows: The Soul, The knowledge, Extrasensory perception, Meditation and Selfobservation, Comparison of rules of conduct. Expiation and Atonement, Religious practices, Fruits of one's own deeds, Emancipation, etc. Jain Agamic texts and Upanisads, Poetics, Dramatics, Narratives, Allegory, Biography, Wise-sayings, etc. Antiquity and Chronology of Canonical texts, Problem of 'T' Sruti, Painting, Town-planning etc., etc. Thus this book is a good source of information about a variety of subjects therein the Jaina Agama Sahitya and it offers a genuine opportunity to scholars to work further on this ancient literature. K.R. Chandra Retd. Head of the Department, & Director of the Seminar

________________ ON THE ANTIQUITY AND ORIGINAL PARTS OF THE "PUNDARTKA ADHYAYANA", SUTRAKRTANGA (11) M. A. DHAKY The seven appendices forming Book II of the second angawork Sutraksta, by and large happen to he not only fairly ancient; they are also interesting from various research stand-points. Of these the first adhyayana entitk d "Pundarika" is in part more ancient than the remaining six. It apparently has not been analysed or studied in depth notwithstanding its admissibly good translations in English and in Gujarati (and now also in Hindi) are for some years available. The "Pundarika-adhyayana"2 in its present shape is the result of three major efforts and hence three distinct strata correspondingly of three separate periods. Its oldest and hence the original part is represented by the opening sutras 638-643, comparable in antiquity to some of the relatively older parts of Book I of the Araranga The Pundarika chapter pertains to an allegory of a lotus pond (puskarani) full of white lotuses (pundarik is) of which the taller, larger and the most magnificent grown at the central area of the pond is the main focus, the motival maxim, around which the repetitious phrases of the text in very archaic style are made to revolve. As the allegorical essence purports, four presumptuous persons coming in turn from four cardinal directions, and each wanting to get the great central lotus, attempied to reach it by entering into the pond and each in his own turn got stuck in the mud, even as each one had condemned his predecessor as ignorant, inefficient, etc., claiming, of course, the opposite for himself. The fifth one, a genuine samaritan (bhikkhu), who came from the inter

________________ On....... Pundarzka Adhyayana mediate direction, and who knew how to get it, while staying at the bank, commanded the lotus to fiy up (and fall into his hands) and there the lotus responded ! (See here the appended original text)) The succeeding two sutras (644-645), in point of fact, represent not the text proper but probably an early niryukti or commentary which ascribes the lotus-pond allegory as well as the exposition of its metaphorical meaning to "Samana Bhagavam Mahavira" himself. By style and construction, motivation and phrasing this part seems younger than the preceding textual part by about a couple of centuries. In this part Mahavira is reported to have explaincd the allegory by saying that the world ( loka ) signifies the pond (puskarani); deeds (karma) represent (pond's) water and worldly pleasures (kama-bhoga), mud (seta). The people at large ( jana-janapada) are the lotuses and the king (raya) is that centrally situated great lotus (ege maham paumavara-pundarika). The four men (catrari purusah) stand for four different creeds (anya-tirthas), the monk (bhikkhu) the genuine Law (dharma), the bank of the pond (tira) charmatirtha and the words (uttered by the monk) dharma-katha; while the "flying up" of the central great) loius is liberation (nirvana). The Acaranga Book I (particularly its Chapters 1-6) contains the main maximic and aphorismic phrases and statements of Mahavira (together with the short and archaic explanatory summaries thereof, partly perhaps by an apostle, ganadhara, and partly by Arya Bhadrabahu) and it may thus collectively date from c. B. C. 500-300. The oldest part of the Pundarrika-adhyayana, by comparison and by virtue of its language as well as cadence and style, almost approaches that hoary antiquity and in any case does not seem later than c. B. C. 300-200. In point of fact, inside the bulk of the Kathanuyoga class of texts in the canon (where the paragraphs usually start with 'tale nam se', 'tise nam se', etc), the Pundarika-text by its archaic style, feel, phrasing, and content seems by far the oldest known up-to-date.
Page #33
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ M. A. Dhaky Jina Mahavira seemingly was fond of allegories and riddles as revealed from the earliar portions of the Acaranga; and the Pundarika-allegory is strongly reminiscent of his personal style, verve, predilection, and peculiar mannerism. So, it is to all seeming a genuine fragment of a text which for its content can be referred back to Mahavira. As for the choice of expressions and words in this archaic part, it is parallaled not only in the Acaranga (I. 1)* but also in the Sutrakstanga, in its "Mahavira-stava' (I. 6) (c. 20dIst cent. B. C):5 The Niryukti that in sequence follows the older original text is positively younger in style, mannerism, and idiom. This commentarial part may have been added by way of clarification of the main allegorical text sometime in c. 1st cent. B. C.-A. D. While it offers fairly plausible, indeed admissible interpretation of several connected metaphors in the older text, it has failed to produce convincing explanation of the word pundarika itself. It likens it, of course wrongly, to a king' (for the central) and to the 'subjects' for the other (surrounding) smaller lotuses. But why must the king "fiy up"? Why do the followers of other creeds desire and attempt to possess the pundarika if it is just a metaphor for a 'king'? (Surely these were not the pre-medieval and medieval times when pontiffs of different religions did not disdain royal patronage, in fact they often, and jealously, vied with one another for getting it. The commentary's calling the "fiying up" of this central lotus as "nirvan," is one other fallacy. For the central lotus itself, as far as it can be guessed, was intended to represent nirvana. And "flying up" of the lotus seems sensibly to symbolise the process of attainment of liberation. The main text in point of fact refers to each person as desiring "to uproot and pluck (unnikhissami), the central white lotus" which would imply that each one of differing creed was hoping and trying for attaining nirvana through his own individual path, but failed. The monk, believably of Nirgrantha persuation in this context, was the only soul who had followed the right path, the genuine law (dhamma). The other lesser lotuses possibly are intended to stand for attractive siddhi-rewards, but not the much coveted singular, ultimate achievement, release from the cycles of births and deaths, 6

________________ 10 On....... Pundarika Adhyayana The third stratum of the text embodying sutras 646-693, intended to enlarge upon the preceding shorter commentary, is the thickest and apparently is a conglomerate of several partly relevant or distantly and derivatively relaicd passages of varying lurgths, some even seeming extraneous. The central idea of those few passages, which alone seem relevant (and among themselves consistent), are those which clarify the 'creeds' or 'schools of thinking' represented by the " four purusas " and the refutation of their beliefs on a primary level. But there are 100 many other passages, which the compiler (and possibly also interpolators) had thought to have an explanatory bearing on what the niryukti part had to say. In the process, passages from varied sources, of diffc rent dates and of differing stylistic consistencies are all huddled up together. Some of these passages (651, 680) are from as ancient a source as the Acaranga I (203, 132); and a few others in a style with an early look are 668, 673, and 674. The bulk of the rest may have been composed and next compiled in the first two centuries of the Christian Era.? The illustrious Digambara scholiast Svami Virasena in his Dhavala tika (c. A. D. 800-817) on the Satklandagama of Puspadanta and Bhutabali (c. late 5th or early 6th cent. A. D.), includes, on the basis apparently of some Yapaniya sources, the Pundariku and the Mahapundarika among the anga-bahya class of texts. 9 Could these two texts have been amalgamated into the "Pundarikaadhyayana" of the Sutrakstanga ? After all, the whole of its second Book is made up of appendices' put together probably in the Kusana period, and possibly before A. D. 200 when the Yapaniya sect separated from the main stream of Nirgrantha Church. Notes and References 1. Suyagadangasuttan, Ed.

________________ M. A. Dhaky 2. In the text, for the words, I have removed the Maharastra Praksta forms as well as the influences or affectations of that language and restored the original Ardhamagadhi forms as far as was possible on the basis of the word-forms encountered in different agamic curni-texts (7th cent. A. D.) on one hand and with the help of the generalities of the demarcating differences to the earlier and later linguistic tendercies in the Praksta lore on the other. For example 'na' is at most places replaced by the natural 'na'; 'ya' sruti by its original consonants like 'a', 'ca', etc.; 'i', or 'r' by 'ti' or ti, etc. Only when a text, supposedly of great antiquity is restored to its original linguistic form does the Ardhamagadhi-ness of its expression shines with brilliance. The pre-medicval and medieval modernizing processes effected with the aid of late Praksta rules and assumptions have done great harm to the original canonical language and, as a result, to judging or estimating the correct chronological position particularly of the early works of the Nirgrantha canon and also as a consequence hampered deciding on their real antiquity vis-a-vis the Buddhist Pali canon. 3. In the text I have filled up the gaps (suggested by the word, java) by supplying fuller phrases. For example the expressions puritthimato va disato agato, dakkhinato va disato agato. . . etc. (Acaranga I. 1. 1/1) may be compared with the wordings for the four directions from which the four purusas came namely puritthimato disato agamma, dakkhinato disato agamma etc. of our text (II. 1. 643, 680 & ff.) Similarly antariio disato va anudisato va agato (Acaranga I. 1.. 1/1) may be compared with antarito disato anudisato va agamma of our text I. 1. 643). 5. The qualificatory ksetrajna' and 'kusala' in Vs. 3 (I. 6. 354) are also used in the Pundarika text. These terms virtually disappear in the agamas of the middle phase. 6. The auihor of this niryukti part is thus not only later since his vyakhya or explanation is faulty; it is also clear that he did not belong to the direct agamika-tradition of this text.

D) cites as of Pundarikadhyayana is somewhat paralleled in this third stratum. (Cf. Muni Jambuvijaya, "Introduction," p. 32). The version of the canon that the Yapaniyas had must date before A. D. : 353 at which the Mathura Synod was convened and hence the one that existed before the date of the Botika schism, but si me t'me in the first quarter of the 3rd cent. A. D. (I am discussing this problem of chronology elsewhere. Under the circumstances, the Yapaniya version of the " Pundarika adhyayana " must belong to a date prior c. A. D. 200-225; hence the third stratum of the Pundarika-adhyayana was compiled at a date seemingly not later than c. A D. 200, or early Kusana period. Yapaniya Aparajitasari, in his Vijayodaya-tika, refers to the Pundarika and the Mahapundurika texts. Cf. the discussion by Pt.

________________ THE CONCEPT OF AIMAN IN THE BHAGAVATI (VIY AH APANNATTI) SUTRA DR. N. M. KANSARA, Ahmedabad. of the word 'arman' (Pkt. In about fifty or more occurences 'aya' or 'atta') in its various derivatives, the term has been generally used in the sense of 'I' or 'oneself'. Of the grammatical forms, the following ones are utilised: 'attanam' almost invariably occurs in the context of Samlehana (the vow of observing a fast) varying in duration from a period of half a month to six months.2 "appana' occurs about six or more times, with the same sense, e.g. "appana aharam aharttae"3, "appana bhunjahi". In one case, however, a slight shade of the sense of the individual soul lurks where the reference is to one's self as distinct from one's physical body, e.g. appana ceva saenam tayenam anaitthe samane amto sattarattassa nittajjara-parigaya-sarire".5 In appano satthane vattavvaya"6 or appano maranam abhoei" the sense of 'oneself' is found, but, again, the sense of the individual soul seems to be slightly indicated in "appano aditthe aya, parassa aditthe no ata"8, etc. The form 'appanam', too, occurs generally in the same sense of 'oneself' e.g. "appanam parikilesamti" or "Katthasolliyam piva appanam karemana viharamti''10, etc. But in other instances where the form occurs in the context of moving about with the mind absorbed in selfmeditation, it indicates the sense of the 'Self', e.g. "Samjamena tavasa appanam bhavemana viharamti':', etc. The form "appanena' generally occurs in the sense of 'I' or 'oneself', but at times it does connote the 'Self' too, e.g. "aypanen uddham vehasam uppaijja" 12 or "bilam iva pannagabhuenam appanenam tam aharam sarirakotthagamsi pakkhivai" 13 etc. In the usages like dravyatman, kasayatman, yogatman, upayogatman, jnanatman, darsanatman, caritratman and viryatman, the term 'atman' (Pkt. 'aya') seems to
Page #61
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ N. M. Kansara 37 refer to the individual soul when the moralistic duties (aya samaie') are referred to, when the moralistic and spiritual deeds work out in the soul ('n' annaitha ayae parinamenti'), and especially when "jiva' and 'jivaya are explicitly equated with each other. The 'l is more strongly stressed when the term 'aya' as such (*daviyaya) as well as in its connection with passions, activity, cognition and other abstractions is quoted as 'kasayaya', 'jogaya', 'nanaya', etc. and when all of them prove either to occur or not to occur simultaneously with the individual being. Cognition, noncognition and belief, so it seems, permeate the personality and thus these definitions equal one another. Speech and inward-sense both mean something definitely different from the 'I', whereas this does not necessarily refer to the body, which may be explained by its constant external working. The submissions made in the Viyahapannatti-sutra (VPS) are somewhat playful. In contrast to the term "aya' or 'atta', the VPS prefers to use the term "jiva' in the context of the individual soul or the Self. The topics discussed with regard to the jiva' in the VPS, are : the heaviness and the lightness, 14 causes of long and short life, 15 contentions of others about the nature of 'jiva', 16 the size, 17 whether active by themselves or due to others, 18 the knowledge about present karma, 19 whether endowed with power,20 duration of knowledge, 21 types of knowledge, 22 aura or karma imprints,23 types of jivas, 24 types of atmans, i.e. conditions of the jivas,25 types transmigratory jivas,26 the number of bodies of the jivas, 27 their sense-organs, 28 speceh,29 mind, 30 body,31 location,32 experience,33 instruments 34 inward-sense, 35 faculty of practising, 36 their activity, 37 modifications, 38 passions, 39 feeling, 40 consciousness, 41 death, 42 transmigration,43 birth,44 condition in enbryo,45 and their liberation.46 Shri Gopalbhai J. Patel, Dr. Sikdar and Dr. Walther Schubring have studied all these references in their scholarly works and have presented their findings systematically under suitable sub-heads. Dr. Sikdar,47 has discussed them under topics like the existence of the soul, plurality of soul, classification of soul, characteristics of a soul, and relation of a soul with speech, mind and body.
Page #62
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 38 The Concept of Atman Shri Gopalbhai Patel has presented these references under the following heads,48 jiva, knowledge possessed by various categories of jivas, pramana, classification of the jivas, eight types of atmans, fourteen types of transmigratory jivas, five types of bodies, five senses, jiva in relation to speech, mind and body, adhikarana, Vedaka, Karana, Samjna, bhavas, labdhi, yoga. kasaya, vedana, upayoga, jiva and les yas. jiva in relation to death, birth and liberation, gati, yoni, jiva in the condition of an embryo and other miscellaneous topics pertaining to jiva, viz., birth of a nairayika, whether jivas are Sadi-santa, whether jivas increase or decrease in number, relation between jiva and caitanya, and pradesas of a jiva, whether a jiva is pudgala or one possessed of pudgala, whether jiva is external or transitory, whether atman is involved in the commitment of violence by a jiva, the manner of coagulation of pudgalas, what kinds of jivas are liable to the bondage of papakarman, the jnanavaraniya-karman, whether jivas are vibrating or nonvibrating, do all jiva-dravyas come within the range of the experience of jivas, the duration of life in the transmigratory condition, whether the nairaytkas are born with or without antara (timegap), and whether the nairayikas are born of their own accord or otherwise. Dr. Schubring has noticed, 49 that the soul as a bearer of life is called jiva, and since it is animate a living being is called jiva (besides pana, bhuya, satta). Their total number remains constant for ever, it neither increases nor decreases. The spiritual function of uvaoga is the essence of the soul. Along with the labdhi, the faculty of practising, the uvanga represents the sense considered as condition (bhavendriya). Next to the sense-organs, the inward sense osanna is essential for spiritual imagination. It is without any organ. With animals and human beings sanna is connected with their coming into existence by procreation, with the Gods and the inhabitants of hell it is possessed by them in their pre-existence. Those who possess sanna are called sunni and so a kevalin is no-sanni-no-asanni, since he has come to be beyond sanna. The karman since time eternal, has been closely connected with the soul. The karman does not only effect the fate

________________ N. M. Kansara 39 of the soul, but it equally supplies it with a conditional quality reflecting the moral level, and as such is called lesa or lessa (lesya). They are represented by six colours : black (kanha), dark (nila), grey (kau), yellow (teu), pink (pamha) and white (sukka), each of them being determined by a number of comparisons which, however, are said not to reach up to "reality". Together with the infinite variety of actions it is also its resplendence that changes continually, just as the soul is accompanied, the beginning of its new existence, by the only lessa that it had in its hour of death. But it is in the nature of the grades and classes of the beings that their behaviour is limited, and correspondingly, their lessa moves within certain ranges, so that beings of hell, fire, wind and lower animal-world will not reach beyond the third (grey) lessa, and all the remaining one-sensed beings not beyond the fourth (yellow). Even female gods do not reach farther, whereas their male partners have all the six and those of the higher standing have only the last three. All humans and five-sensed animals are capable of all the lessas. Though the kevalin, during his stay on earth (sajogi kevali) still has the white lessa, the siddha has no longer any of it. The individual soul has as many paesas as has the space of the world. One individual soul occupies the room of 1/n (anu or even more) of such quantities as are presumed by the part of that or the size acquired through karman. So (substantially) the soul of an elephant equals that of a louse, as is explained by the simile of the lamp whose light, as the case may be, will illuminate a large or a small hollow room. The paesas (units) stand for different densities within the same number of units i.e. in different bodies. The units of matter differ in number from zero to infinity. The lower limit is the smallest unit of matter, the atom, The details discussed under these topics would easily lead one to think that all the characteristics of the jiva as determined and discussed by Lord Mahavira refer to the soul as manifested at the astral and causal levels, rather than to that of the speculative: nature of the pure Self, as determined on the basis of logic serving as a means of revealed knowledge (sruti). It pertains to the soul

________________ 40 The Concept of Atman as perceived at astral levels, rather than to the Self as bereft of the astral and causal bodies. Modern physics has found out to very important facts :50 (i) the mind of the experimenter can in some cases influence matter; and (ii) matter-energy can neither be created nor destroyed. All matter is energy and as energy can be changed or modified, the 'matter' is merely energy at different levels of "existence". For all practical purposes scince is now telling us that matter cannot be destroyed. It can only be changed from one form to another form, that is, from one vibrational frequency to another one. Little is known about the subtle energies involved in thoughts, emotions, the human aura and the soul. There is now a sufficient accummulation of research-data to show that the energies which make up an individual person's thoughts, emotions, personality, memory banks and soul continue in existence after death and decay of the physical body. The experiences of many saints, sages, seers, prophets and mystics over the ages, and the experiences and reports of certain enlightened persons who in last hundred years have reached levels of cosmic consciousness, and the research currently under way in several countries, have revealed that there are seven levels of consciousness and correspondingly seven 'bodies' or layers or worlds in which life subsists at different times. These bodies or worlds are known as follows51 : (i) The Earth or Physical Plane serves as the substratum of physical bodies along with the etheric on astral bodies. (ii) Lowest Astral Plane is a dark, dismal, dangerous and often frightening world and it serves as a habitat of greedy, self-centered, unloving resentful persons who often have fierce desires and lusts associated with physical bodies. It is also an abode of the less desirable "creatures" of non-human lines of evolutions. This level is traditionally referred to as hell, hades or or purgatory. It is the human and non-human astral bodies from this plane which attract them selves by way of obsession to the magnetic auras or astral bodies of persons living on the earth
Page #65
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 41 N. M. Kansara plane. (iii) Intermediate Astral Plane is the level at which the person "awakens" minutes or days or months or years after departing from the physical body. The body is still material but of finer substances at a higher vibratory iate. Its appeararce accormodates cach individual's personal form, usually the prime, of life. (iv) Highest Astral Plane is the level, usually known as heaven, where there is no pain or suffering. This is the plane where eventually the soul has to decide whether to return to the earth-plane for more experience or to accept the second death. In case he chooses the latter, the mind and the soul may shade its astral body or containment vehicle and be re-born on to that Causal or Mental Level for which it has been qualified. When re-born, the soul will function in its mental and causal body. (v) Mental and (vi) Causal Plane, offer access to all of the accumulated wisdom of the ages on the earth-plane and throughout other parts of our solar system'. This is the final opportunity to choose to return to the earth-plane or the final re-birth onto the celestial planes. (vii) In Celestial Planes the nature of consciousness is galactical, universal and cosmic, largely beyond the comprehension of those living on the Planet-earth. The celestial planes are the location of the Christian God, of Buddha, of Jaina Tirthankaras called or Hiranyagarbha. Most of these levels are ever surrounding, and interpenetrating us. Our bodies, and all the material in the universe are more than 99% empty space, and we live in two worlds at the same time. We are functioning not only on the Earth-plane but also in a very lowest and densest portion of the Astral plane. When the physical body dies and the etheric body disintegrates we do not really have to go on a "far journey". We will be automatically on vibrational level that we deserve to be on, based on the quality of life we have loved while in the physical body. This is the glimpse of the sublime vistas and grandeur of the overall scheme of life which God has created for all of humanity, regardless of race, caste, sex or religion. The blueprint strips away most of the controversial dogmas and creeds which se parate the world's religions;

________________ The Concept of Atman it does not discredit the central spiritual teachings of the major religious systems. In the light of these findings of the modern science, we realise that the teachings of Lord Mahavira as preserved in the Agama texts like the VPS, should not differ from those of the Upanisadic texts or the Vedanta-sutras which attempt to merely systematise the Upanisadic teachings. And when we look for the resemblances, we do find that both distinguish between the liberated and the transmigratory sonl, both posit the state of liberation as one beyond the pale of the wheel of transmigration, both describe the state, of heaven and hell for souls after their death, both teach that the soul is accompanied by his astral body and impressions of karma when it departs from the physical body, that although the soul is very subtle (anu) it is capable of assuming a very big size to accomodate the physical body it is consigned to, both put forth the metaphor of a lamp the light of which reaches all the corners of the room in which it is placed, both propound the desirability of doing good to others and avoiding harm to them, both associate moral values with spiritual advancement and both prefer to teach in terms, and from the levels, easily understandable and approachable by persons with average conimon sense, rather than high intellectual calibre. It is only at the time of answering the probing questions pertaining to the nature of the soul in gereral and differentiating it from that of the Pure Self in particular by intellectually sharp and emotionally advanced sages that the difference on the higher levels is elucidated, in the Upanisads. Lord Mahavira, on his part, seems to have maintained a highly practical attitude of focusing his attention only on the first four planes, where the soul is never seperated from its astral vehicle and he has to this end discouraged any tendency on the part of his disciples to distinguish between the Pure Self from the Soul. He has dubbed such a tendency as useless (miccha) and false, in view of the fact that it would encourage intelectual quibbling and bread laxity in moral outlook, as in the case of the Ajivikas,
Page #67
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ N. M. Kansara 43 which would uitimately weaken the most essential willpower of the aspirants for spiritual life. This was inevitable, since Lord Malavira stood for a highly strict and severely disciplined moral life as the only adequate means for liberation from the wheel of transmigration. It is only as an expedient of encouragement for weaker souls already entangled in the worldly life that he has provided for the compromise formulae of twelve-fold way of the life of a householder, wherein, too, the ideal constantly kept in the forefront is that of an ascetic (samana), a houseless one. The Upanisadic teachings, too clearly lay down that the eligibility for the path of liberation, called by them as 'devayana', call for a life of solitude, penance and faith, demanding total extinction of the desire for wealth or possessions, for progency or continuance of tradition and lineage, and for fame or indulgence to one's ego. In view of these broad fundamental facts of life, there is hardly any worthwhile differrence in the teachings of both these traditions of Indian spirituality. Whatever difference we come across in the later texts is more of the nature of intellectual hairsplitting rather than of any new discovery in the field. REFERENCES 1. Cf.

________________ ALLEGORY IN ENGLISH LITERATURE AND THE NAYADHAMMA KAHAO V. M. DOSHI, Ahmedabad. The origin of allegory should be traced back to philosophy and theology rather than literature. Most probably it lies in religion. From the beginning allegory has been closely asscciated with story. We can distinguish between two kinds of stories : those which are essentially literal and those which are essentially symbolic and cannot be comprehended unless we understand their symbols. A literal story may have symbols in it but we can understand it without their presence because the story's meaning and effect will depend primarily on its development of a situation. But in some stories symbol is the primary method of communication, and without a translation of its symbols, the story will be meaningless. Stories that operate primarily on a symbolic level can further be classified into allegorical and symbolic categories. The distinction between these two is that symbolism always means what it says and also something else while allegory primarily means something else. We can say that allegory begins with an idea and the author then creates an object (frequently a character) that stands for that idea. A story like the Pilgrim's Progress where Vanity Fair is chosen simply to represent an abstract idea, not to be taken on a literal level as an actual place, is an allegory. An allegory is a coherent structure in which all the elements are carefully integrated in a pattern of thought, and the effectiveness of an allegorical scheme depends upon the systematizing process. The symbolist moves from the actual to the unseen and
Page #71
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ V.M, Doshi 47 intangible while the allegorist attempts to comprehend immaterial ideas by giving them recognizable form. As Prof. Humphry House says, all allegory involves symbolism, and in proportion as symbolism becomes developed and coherent, it tends towards allegory. All western and many eastern religions have found their most perfect expression in myth--a story or a series of stories which serve to explain those universal facts, which most intimatelly affect the believer, such as seasons, crops, birth, marriage, death, moral laws etc. The myths are passed on orally or in ritual and eventually sometimes by way of the written word. Often they are mysteries the interpretation of which is revealed only to a fraternity of monks or to a larger body of initiates. There are stages of monkhood and full enlightenment is reserved for those who reach the highest level. Yet the myth could not have come into existence without some interpretation and we can reasonably assume that from prehistoric times onwards myth and interpretation went hand in hand. In some parables of the Bible e.g. the Good Samaritans and the Prodigal Son, the story is allegorical. Among many other examples is the interpretation which allegorizes the Song of Solomon in terms of the mutual love of Christ and the Church. Solomon is a type of Christ and the Queen of Sheba represents the Church. John, who at the end of the first century A.D. wrote Reveala, tions deals allegorically with events of the period, in particular the persecution of christians by the Roman emperors Nego (5468 A.D.) and Domitian (81-96 A.D.), and with the expectation of the return of Christ to earth in judgemeni. Structurally this book makes uses of numerical style of allegory. In books on the New Testament one finds traces of the opinion that the history of the world was to occupy six ages, corresponding

________________ 48 Allegory in the English Literature to the six days of creation out of the seven days of the first week followed by the Sabbath of external rest. It is interesting to compare this Christian belief of six ages with the Jain conception of six aras, spokes of the wheel of time. John uses the number seven as a symbol for completeness or wholeness. Seven days makes a week. The seven days of the week are connected with the seven planets readily visible to the naked eye. Twenty four is the most conspicuous number in the description. of the heavenly throne and its setting which forms chapter IV. Twenty four elders are seated about the throne. The Jain conception of 24 Tirthankaras is by far the older. This tradition of numerical allegory continued through the middle ages into the Renaissance, and is particularly well examplified in the poetry of Edmund Spenser (1552-99). Allegory and satire are in fact intimately connected. Allegory is general and satire is particular. The generalities of allegory acquire power over the moral sense and the imagination by way of their relevance to the particular, and the particularities of satire equally acquire more than passing relevance when they are seen in terms of a system of moral ideas which are generally acceptable. The description of Vanity Fair, for example, in the Pilgrim's Progress obviously and powerfully appeals to the satiric imagination of Thackeray. The basic structure of Gulliver's Travels is allegorical; the island of pigmies, the island of giants, the flying island and the island of rational horses are all allegories of aspects of the human condition which might perfectly well have found their way into an avowedly allegorical medieval or renaissance narrative. Satire criticizes social, political or religious life with a view reforming it while allegory aims at moral or religious edification. to

________________ V. M. Doshi Unlike symbolism which is a mode of thought, allegory is a mode of expression. It belongs to the form of literature more than to its content and it is learnt from the practice of the ancients. In many of Blake's poems allegory and satire are present together : I wander thro' each charter'd street, Near where the charter'd Thames does flow And mark in every face I meet Marks of weakness, marks of woe. 49 "London" here is both the allegory of a state of mind and an actual city whose way of life totally offended Blake's religious principle. The thematic content of allegory with detailed richness of stylized point of view of good satire expressed in story-form produces potential literature. The Pilgrim's Progress, the Life and Death of Mr. Badman, and Gulliver's Travels, for example, mark important stages in the development of the English novel. The methods used by Bunyan and Swift and taken up by Fielding in Tom Jones and later by Jane Austen in the novels-Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion etc. recall the allegorical interludes of the sixteenth century. It is noticeable that the American novel as exemplified by the work of Hawthrone and Melville, retained and developed this allegorical structure. The structure of the morlity play, with its frequent satiric and realistic overtones and the general allegorical ambience of so many of the plays of Marlowe, Shakespeare and Jonson, is perhaps the greatest single contribution of allegory to the literature of England. In Jain literature the tradition of allegory is as old as the Agamas. The Nayadhammukahao, which is the most readable of all the Jain canonical works, is a collection of stories with various illustrations and tales tinged with religious sermonizing. Most of the tales lay more stress on some parable incorporated in them
Page #74
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 50 Allegory in the English Literature than on the tale itself. Some of the tales are only parables spun out and enlarged to form narratives. Here we find the narrator endeavouring to make his meaning comprehensible to his listeners. He condescends very low to the level of their intelligence and draws on incidents familiar to them. The chief interest of these stories is, therefore, allegorical, The allegorical story in Jain literature stands out as a distinct category and its special feature is that the story is followed by explication of its symbols. The story of merchant Dhanya and robber Vijay of Rajgriha is a powerful allegory on the conduct of monks. Once Dhanya was sentenced to imprisonment for committing a minor crime. He and robber Vijay, the murderer of the former's own son, Devdaita, were fettered together. This pious merchant shared with that robber in the jail, his food packets sent to him daily by his wife Bhadra. Here merchant Dhanya stands for a monk. Robber Vijay stands for human body which must be given food as long as the soul is in the body. The restraint that brings the greatest happiness is comparable to the merchant's son. The right knowledge, the right faith and the right conduct are ornaments. The world is like the old garden in the story. Without being tempted by senseorgans, the monk should give necessary food to the body only to maintain it in order to practise religious vows. The illustration of the two eggs of a peahen confirms that a monk must not entertain any doubt about the efficacy of selfrestraint. The son of Sagaradatta who doubted whether a babe will come out of the egg symbolizes the monks and nuns who doubt whether the fivefold restraint will bring its reward. They get drowned into the ocean of samsara. The son of Jinadatta symbolizes the monks and nuns who keep the five great vows with full faith in them. They ultimately attain liberation. The name of Sagardatta and Jinadatta are also suggestive. The story presents potential allegory.
Page #75
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ V. M. Doshi In the story of the two turtles and a jackal the first turtle who exposed itself to the danger of the jackal and was killed by it, symbolizes the monks and nuns who expose themselves to the danger of attachment and aversion, raga and dvesa and suffer miseries in the cycle of rebirths. Another turtle who remained unhurt in the shell and went to its abode in the water, symbolizes the monks and nuns who conceal their sense-organs in the shield of restraint, remain unhurt by attachment and aversion and attain liberation. Allegorically this story brings home to us the efficacy of the five great vows of monks and nuns and the five small vows of laymen and laywomen, 51 The story of five rice-grains is an interesting parable spun out and enlarged to form a story. A rich merchant has four daughters-in-law: Ujjhita (one who throws away). Bhogavati (one who eats), Rakshika (one who preserves) and Rohini (one who grows something). He gives each of them five grains of rice with orders to preserve them. Ujjhita throws the grains away and thinks to herself. "There are plenty of rice-grains in the larder. I shall give him others instead". Bhogavati thinks in the same way and eats the grains. Rakshika preserves them in her jewel-casket. But Rohini plants the grains and reaps, she again sows the grains and reaps again until at the end of five years she has accumulated a large store of rice. The rich merchant returns from his journey and punishes Ujjhita and Bhogavati by assigning to them the meanest tasks in the household and he entrusts Rakshika with the guarding of the entire property but he gives the entire management of the large household into the hands of Rohini. These four women whose names are also symbolic stand for four types of monks. Those monks and nuns who do not keep the five great vows degrade themselves and are hated by the Sangha. Those monks and nuns who keep the five great vows only with a view to filling their begging bowl and remain attached to food etc. disqualify themselves from attaining liberation and earn miseries for succeeding births. Those monks and nuns who keep the five great vows carefully live a worthy ascetic life. They are revered and are worshipped by
Page #76
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 52 Allegory in the English Literature the Sangha. Those monks and nuns who are not content with. pretty well keeping the five great vows, propogate the vows and they alone attain liberation. This story belongs to the category of international literature, E. Leumann has pointed out a corresponding story in Matthew (25.14-30) and Luke (19.12-27) of the New Testament. Gustav Roth traces its origin in Hebrew Gospel which is of greater antiquity than Matthew and Luke. In the present story one finds a few words of praise for women. This shows the narrator's broad democratic outlook. The interesting story of Malli, the nineteenth Tirthankara, is a very obvious and striking allegory. Princess Malli of wop drous and incomparable beauty compared her body to the gold statue in the 'puzzling house' that she had got constructed in order to bring home to the six wooing princes the frailty of human body. The puzzling house' represents the world of temptations. The fairlooking, filthy and perishable human body is compared to the gold statue which is stenchent and loathsome inside, The most important story of the Nayadhammakahao is the story of Avarakamka. We are told that in her previous birth Draupadi (Dovai) was the daughter of a merchant of Campa and her name was Sukumarika. Once she saw a prostitute enjoying the company of five young men at a Bohemian club of the city called Lalita. Sukumarika thereupon made a nidana (claiming reward of penance in the next birth) to marry five husbands in her next life and accordingly she was born as Draupadi who as a result of her nidana married five Pandavas. The story is spun round the concept of transmigration of soul which is a favourite theme in Jain legends. Ainna' (The Noble Horse) is mariner's fairy tale describing the fate of the winged horses as determined by their susceptibility to sense-organs. Those who are conquered by the sense-organ of hearing and tempted by sweet voice are like the partridge caught in the net. They who are subdued by the sense-organ of smelling and are tempted by various sweet smells are like a snake from a hole who gets caught up to become miserable. They who are
Page #77
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ V. M. Doshi 53 subjugated by the sense-organ of taste and are tempted by various tastes are like the fish that is taken out of water in a net and dies panting for breath. Those who do not control the sense-organ of touch and are tempted to various objects are like the elephant that is pierced by the hook and become survile and experience great pain. Rather than put cotton pellets into the ears in order to prevent pleasant or unpleasant voice from entering the ears, the monk should try to cultivate equanimity. Rather than blame the eyes for seeing pleasant or unpleasant sights the monks should cultivate equanimity. Rather than show a like or dislike for a good or bad smell coming to the nose the monk should try to cultivate equnnimity. Rather than show a like or dislike for things that taste sweet or sour, the monk should try to cultivate equanimity. Rather than be glad or sad when he has a feel of soft or hard objects, the monk should try to cultivate equanimity. The fairy tale of mariner teaches us to try to cultivate control over sense-organs and become equanimous. Thus the stories of the Nayadhammakahao are potentially allegorical. . Since Jains were always in search of interesting stories from whatever source they came and incorporated them in their compositions, the post-canonical Jain narrative literature is voluminous varied interest. And allegory, which is an important device of the narrative art, is a wide-spread tradition. The parable of Man in the Well' which has gained great fame and significance in universal literature is a genuine Indian production of ascetic poetry that corresponds with Jain view of life. It deserves to be quoted here. A Brahmin loses his way in a dense forest full of beasts of prey. In great terror he runs here and there looking in vain for a way out. Then he sees that the terrible forest is surrounded on all sides by traps and is embraced by both arms of a dreadful looking woman. Great and terrible five-headed dragons, which reach up like, rocks to the sky, surround this great forest. And in the middle of this forest, covered by underwood and creeping plants there is a well. The Brahmin falls into it and is caught on
Page #78
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 54 Allegory in the English Literature the interwined branches of a creeper, "As the great fruit of a bread-fruit tree, held by its stalk, hangs down, so he hung there, feet upwards, head downwards. And yet another even greater danger threatens him there. In the middle of the well he perceived a great, mighly dragon, and at the edge of the lid of the well he saw a black, six-mouthed and twelve-footed giant elephant slowly approaching. In the branches of the tree which covered the well, swarmed all kinds of dreadfui-looking bees, preparing honey. The honey drips down and is greedily drunk by the man hanging in the well. For he was not weary of existence, and did not give up hope of life, though white and black mice gnawed the tree on which he hung. The forest is the sariis ara, the beast of prey are the diseases, the hideous giantess is old age, the well is the body of beings, the dragon at the bottom of the well is time, the creepers in which the man is caught are the hope of life, the six-mouthed and twelve-footed elephant is the year with six seasons and twelve months, the mice are the days and nights, and the drops of honey are sensual lappiness. Though this parable corresponds with the Jain view of life it was probably the Buddhistic versions of the parable which paved the way for it to the West. This story also appears in the fifth chapter of the Striparva of the Mohabharata. Ernst Kuhn has traced throughout all the literatures of the world the "circulation of this truly non-sectarian parable which has served for the edification of Brahmanas. Jainas, Buddhists. Mohammedans, Christians and Jews." "Dhurtakhyana' the well known satire written by Haribhadra, one of the most distinguished and prolific Jain writers, ridicules the stories of the Hindu cpics and Puranas. Siddharsi's 'Upamitibhavaprapancakatha' is the first elaborate and extensive allegory in Indian literature, followed two centuries later by Krsna Misra's great allegory, 'Prabodhacandrodaya.' Somaprabha, the younger contemporary of Hemchandra, wrote Jiva-manah-karana-santapa-katha (The story of conversation between Soul, Mind, and Senses) which is an elaborately worked out allegory of 105 stanzas. The vast ocean of Jain literature has a rich treasure of precious gems of allegory which we can be legitimately proud of.

________________ THE DREADFUL DETERRENTS TO THE JAIN UPA SAKAS IN THE UV A SAGADAS AO Dr. D. G. Vedia, Ahmedabed. The Uvasagadasao is the seventh Anga among the eleven Argas. the sacred books of the Svetambara Jains, the sacred books of Mahavira himself and his direct disciples, the Ganadharas. They have passed through three editions at councils held at (1) Pataliputra (about 307 B. C.), (2) Mathura and Valabhi (about 360 A.D. or 373 A.D.) and (3) Valabhi (about 513 or 526 A.D.). Thus the last edition belongs to the first quarter of the 6th century A.D., In the last edition Devarddhigani compiled a canon of sacred writings partly with the help of old manuscripts and partly on the basis of oral tradition as Winternitz opines. 1 Uvasagadasao literally means the ten chapters on the religious duties of persons who have become followers of Mahavira without, however, renouncing the world and accepting the monastic vows and who remain as ordinary members of tha society. It contains ten stories of pious Jain householders. Most of them are wealthy merchants. They adopt certain vows and rules of conduct laid down by Mahavira, The rules and vows which a Jain monk has to observe ar set forth in the first Anga, the Acaranga Sutta. The first chapter of the Uvasagadasao gives in detail a list of the vows and obser vances. Mahavira's disciple Ananda, and his wife Sivananda, adopted the vows and observances in the presence of Mahavira. Ananda acquired the miraculous knowledge of Avadhinjana. Finally he dies a voluntary death by starvation like a genuine Jain saint and is reborn as god in heaven. Ananda is not disturbed by dreadful deterrents during his austerity. Various kinds of temptations arising from external persecutions, which threaten to prevent pious house-holders from faithful obser

________________ 56 The Dreadful Deterrents vance of th> vows are described in the succeeding chapters i.e. two to five. In the second chapter a certain god appeared before Kamadeva at midnight. God assumed the form of a goblin,2 and threatened Kamadeva who showed no fear, dread, alarm, agitation, emotion or perturbation, but remained silent and kept himself engaged in the meditation. The god often tried to frighten by assuming the form of a huge celestial elephant. a deadly venomous cobra and a huge celestial god. But all the efforts of a celestial god were in vain.3 In the third chapter, Culanipiya was exposed to the temptation of giving up the observance of the vows to save the relatives. Culanipiya, through lofty ascetic exercises, was reborn as a god, In the fourth chapt:r Suradeva was victimized through similar temptations to preserve his health and wealth by breaking up the vows by a certain god. But he engaged himself in the meditation on religion. In the fifth chapter a certain god who brandishing a large sword threatens Cullasayaga to slay his eldest son as a god does in the previous stories. His entire property was put in danger of being lost.6 Lastly like Suradeva and Culanipiya, Cullasayaga succeeded in duly observing the vows they had undertaken to perform. After death he reached the different heavens and he was destined to be liberated in due course. All these stories of Kamadeva, Culanipiya, Suradeva and Cullasayaga closely resemble. The role of the god is narrated in the same manner. In the sixth chapter Kundakoliya accepts the vows of a householder. A certain god appears, snatches away from the masonry platform the seal inscribed with his name and his upper garment and mounts up with them into mid-air under the sound of little bells. The god appreciates the doctrine of Gosala Mankhaliputta and condemns the doctrine of Mahavira, After exchange of some arguments the god being defeated places the seal inscribed with

Thus in this story Kundakoliya refuted the theories of heterodox people by means of thesis, arguments, questions, proofs and explanations based on the sacred collection of the twelve Angas. Like a true ascetic he was reborn as a god. In the seventh chapter Saddalaputta, a disciple of the Ajivika conducted himself according to the dictates of the Ajivika tenets. A certain god appeared before him in mid-air when he was living a life according to the law received in the presence of Markhaliputta. The god spoke to him to receive the person coming next day. Next day Mahavira went there. Mahavira preached him twelve fold law of a householder which consists of the five lesser vows and the seven discriplinary vows, 8 when he was fully couvinced Gosala Markhaliputta failed in his efforts to prevent transgressing of Saddalaputta from his doctrine to the doctrine of Mahavira. Saddalaputta sanctified himself by practising the vows and observances for fourteen years. During the fifteenth year at one mid-night there appeared a certain god, brandishing a large sword of dark blue Justre,9 slew his sons and he spattered his body with flesh and blood, even though Saddalaputta remained engaged in meditation of the religion. Everything happens as in the case of Cullanipiya. Lastly he is reborn as a god.10 In the eighth chapter Mahasayaga is not disturbed by any god. But his wife Revai comes in the way. She deprived her twelve co-wives of their life either by weapon or by poison. Being, mad after meat, juices, liquor and spirits of various kinds together with many kinds of food consisting of roasted or fried or baked meat, she tried to often excite Mahasayaga in a state of intoxication with the passion of love. Once he grew furious and applied his supernatural power. Consequently she was reborn as a hell-being. Lord Mahavira conveyed a message to him through Goyama to confess the sins and santify himself by many exercises in the moral restraints. He observed austerities for twenty years and was reborn as a god after death. 11 In the remaining two chapters the stories of Nandinipiya and Salihipiya and narrated. There we do not come across the interruption by any god or a wife.

________________ 58 The Dreadful Deterrents Thus we can see that Kamadeva, Cullanipiya, Suradeva, Cullasayaga and Kundakoliya were disturbed by a certain god in the same manner. In the case of Saddalaputta nature of interruption differs. The god tempts him to adopt the doctrine of Gosala Markhali for the first time and behaves in the same manner as in the case of Kamadeva, Cullanipiya etc. for the second time. Here the nature and behaviour of the god does not seem to be divine one. Amarakosa enumerates the supernatural elements, 12 among which Yaksa and Guhyaka seem to be supernatural elements referred to herewith. In the Bhagwati Suutra 13 Punnabhadda and Manibhadda are called powerful and they appear together to those who practice certain austerities. Mahavamsa 14 enumerates the names of Punnabhadda, Manibhadda, salibhadda, Sumandabhadda, Caksuraksa, Purnaraksa, Savvana, Savvajasa, Savakama, Samiddha, Amona and Asamta. All these names of Yaksas are auspicious, implying fuliness, increase prosperity etc. Yaksas are often called Devas in the Jain books, as Sasana Devatas. They are usually guardian angels. The Devas who persecute the followers of Mahavira should be regarded as Yaksas. They appear in an Asoga (As'ka) grove and take possession of objects laid on an altar. The shape-shifting is one of the characteristics of Yaksas. Pisacas (Praksta-Pisaya) is also said to be a form of Deva. It may be the Yaksas like the more orthodox Brahmanical deities of Santa and Ugra form. Here in Uvasagadasao the false and lying Devas possess the objectionable qualities. In the commentary Ranasrami on Amarakosa the word Yaksa is derived from the root Yaj to worship. 15 Medini takes the word Yaksa as a synonym of Guhyaka.16 The commentary by Ramasrami further derives the word Yaksa from I (e) and "Aksa'17. The word Guhyaka is derived from Guh'18, or Guhya and Ka..1% The word Bhuta is also understood to be synonym of Yaksa. The word Bhuta is derived from the root Bhu.20 Malevolent nature of some Yaksas is the same as that of Pisaca a i. In the earlier Vedic books the root Yaj is used much. The word Yaksa is first time found in the Jaiminiya Brahamana,22 and Kenopanisad.23 It does contain the sense of a wonderous thing.

________________ Dr. D. G. Vedia 59 It does not appear in the sense of spirit or genius. During the period of Grhyasutra Yaksas are invoked together with a numerous and virisi dsitis; cl.233ed a Bhutas i.e. being;. 24 siva is knowa as Blutajv11. Yaksi; are often called Bhutas.25 The word Yaksa occurs in the Sanskrit, Pali, Prakrit and Simhalese languages, Sanskrit : Yaksa, () Yaksini; Pali: Yakkha, (f) Yakkhini; Prakrit : Jakkha, (f) Jakkhini; Simhalese : Yaka, (f) Yaki. The word "Yaksa' is perhaps indigenous and of non-Aryan otigin. Ramayana proposes an explanation which looks like mere folk etymology : Brahma created beings to guard the waters and some of these soon cried 'Raksamah'- 'Let us guard' and others said Yaksamah 'let ue gobble'. Thus the former became Raksasas and the later Yaksas. The idea seems to be derived from the big belly which is the most constant feature of the Yaksa iconography. There is some confusion of Yaksas and Raksasas, who according to one tradition have a common origin, Both have good and evil qualities, benevolent and malevolent as the case may be. Very often the same description can be appliad to the both. Even though. these two classes are quite different. Yaksas are associated with Kubera, while the others are associated with Ravana. Yaksas are kind, while the others are blood-thirsiy. In the Satapatha Brahmana Kubera is said to be Raksasa and Lord of robbers and evil-doers. But in the later literature he is Lord of the Yaksas. Kalidasa knows him as the Lord of Yaksas in the Meghadutam. The Ramayana uses Yaksatva in the sense of 'spirithood 26. The Mahabharata knows Yaksas and Raksasas as the deities of Rajasika or passionate people. 27 Thus Yaksas are known here below the class of Devas and above that of goblins and ghosts. The word "Yakka-bhuta' in the Mahavamsa shows the malevolent nature of some Yaksas. The god of Uvasagadasao seems to be of this type. Benevolent-natured Yaksas are specially grouped
Page #84
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 60 The Dreadful Deterrents with Nagas, gods, Gandharvas etc, Kubera, Ganesa, Manibhadda etc. are of this type. The good-natured Yaksas are later on described as the attendants of gods like Guha on Katrikeya, 28 supporter of friendly service, gate-keeper and world-protector. But Yaksas of malevolent nature used to disturb the penance of ascetics and moral behaviour of good people, as happens in the case of Kamadeva, Culanipiya, Suradeva and Cullasayaga in the Uvasagadasao. Such Yaksas are Yaksagrahas i.e. a kind of demons who take possession of others and cause diseases. Bt nevolent Yaksas are regarded as tutelary deities. They are worshipped as Sylvan deities, 29 as well as family deities. In the Siddhartha's family Yaksa was known as sakyavardhana. Such Yaksa is a tutelary deity to whom tne children were presented.30 It is interesting to note that the Brahmins used to worship such a tutelary deity as Yaksa along with a family deities such as Kuladevi, siva, Ganesa etc.31 Such deities protect a devotee from malevolent spirits, The abode of a Yaksa is often represented as Caitya Pali : Cetiya; Prakrit : Ceiya, or Ayatana (Prakrit: Ayayana), which may be outside a city in a grove, on a mountain or ghata. The word "Caitya' sometimes means no more than a sacred tree or a tree with an altar. Such are designated as Caitya-vrksas.32 Kalidasa also refers to such 'Gramacaityas'33. Such holy trees should not be injured as they are the abodes of Devas, Yaksas, Raksasas etc. Buddha is often said to be halting or resting at such abode of Yaksa. Bodhi-tree of Gautama is also known as Yaksabhavana. Mara who disturbed Siddhartha Gautama was that malevolent Yaksa, while Sakyavardhana, his family Yaksa is tenevotent by nature. In Uvasagadasao we find Mahavira in such Caitya, as Hoernle assumes that the Caitya must have been sacred to the previous Jina Parsvanatha, but that may be a Jakkha shrine and not a Jain temple, as no Jain Puja cult was established in the time of Mahavira.. Sala, Amra, Plak$1, Asoka, Asvattha, Vata etc.34 are said to be the abodes of Yaksas in the Buddhist and Puranic literature.
Page #85
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Dr. D. G. Vedia Generally flowers are offered to the Yaksas as they are called Sumanasas.35 Milk is also offered to them. Meat and spirituous liquor are liked by generally malevolent Yaksas and Raksasas.36 In the Meghaduta benevolent Yaksas also used to drink wine produced from Kalpavsksas. 37 Fergusson opines that "Tree and serpent worship i.e. the worship of Yaksas and Nagas, powers of fertility and rainfall was primitive faith of the aborginal castless Dasyus who inhabited northern India before the advent of the Aryans.'38 This prediction took the shape of a cult with the cause of time. During three centuries before Christ we find a worship of one deity under various aspects. even of Yaksas and Raksasas as coming into consciousness and prominence as we find in Buddhist and Jain literature as well as in epics and puranas. As a result of this in the sectarian literature the Yaksas possess honorable status and are benevolent towards mankind. People also had developed affection for them. Simultaneously some malevolent Yaksas, Raksasas, Bhutas and Pisacas are found causing dreadful deterrents in the way of ascetics, saints and householders. Gautama Buddha and Mahavira were also disturbed by such malevolent divine spirits. Other ascetics are also found passing through such expbrience. Force of endurance and self confidence made them succeed in achieving their goal. As a conclusion we find here in the Uvasagadasao : 1. Mahavira halted at some caitya or shrine of Yaksa. 2. The followers like Kamadeva, (ulanipiya, Suradeva, Cullasayaga and Kundkoliya are interrupted by dreadful deterrents caused by some deity. This deity seems to be none but Yaksa, malevolent by nature. 3. Saddalaputta refutes the arguments of a divine i.e. Yaksa and ultimately he also like Kamadeva, Culanipiya etc. successfully pass through such dreadful deterrents.

________________ A COMPARATIVE AND CRITICAL NOTE ON UVASAGADASAO AND RATNA-KARANDAKA-SRAVAKACARA Dr. M. D. Vasantharaj, Mysore. Among all the living beings man stands supreme because of his thinking capacity or wisdom, and again because of this wisdom he is the master of himself in gaining whatever is good for him and also in warding off whatever is evil. It is as a result of this that man has built up a social order of life which, in one way or the other, is established wherever he lives. The primary aim of this social order is to enable man to live peacefully and happily. This compels him to accept certain principles and the essence of those principles can be expressed by the term 'Live and Let Live'; of course, with a varying degree in observing the same. When a person does not want to be injured by any other person, then he will have to follow the principle of not injuring the other person. When this principle is observed in the form of a vow then it becomes Dharma and the same is Jainacaritra Dharma. The caritra dharma is classified into two categories depending on the individual's capacity for observance :(1) Munidharma and (2) Grhasthadharma, or well known either as Upasaka or Sravaka Dharma. The subject of the latter constitutes the seventh Anga known by the title Uvasaga-dasao in svetam bara tradition ard Uvasayajjhayanam in Digambara tradition. The former of these two has been traditionally handed down till today where as the latter is not available today, but only references to its rame and contents are found in other works such as Sarvartha-Siddhi, Dhavala etc.. just as references to other Arga literature are found. In Uvasagadasao, the code of conduct of Upasaka is detailed in a form of narration mainly in the Ananda Sravaka story, the first story. Ananda was a wealthy person and was respected by one and all including the King. One day he attends the sermon of Bhagavan Mahavira and as a result becomes an ardent devotee
Page #89
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Dr. M. D. Vasantharaj of Him with unswerving faith in His teachings. Thereupon he expresses his incapacity to take to the vows of a muni and pleads to allow him to take the vows of a householder (Gihidhamma) and thus at the foot of Bhagavan Mahavira, first of all he takes the Pancanuvratas. Afterwards, the vow pertaining to Uvabhoga-paribhoga is taken and next to it the vow of abandoning foursold Anatthadanda. Bhagavan Mahavira instructs Ananda not to commit transgressions i.c. Aricaras relating to Samyaktva. Thereafter the aticaras pertaining to five Anuvratas, digvrata, upahhoga-paribhoga parimana vrata, anattha danda vermanavrata, desavagasiga vrata, Samayika vrata, Posahovavasavrata, Ahasamvibhagavrata, and finally the aticaras pertaining to samlehanajhusanarahana. According to the Digambara tradition, afrer 683 years of the Parinirvana of Bhagavan Mahavira, the Anga and Purva SrutaJnana was only partially retained by Munis and the Agama works were composed by such of these munis depending on their such partial knowledge of the sruta. Again commentaries were written on these Agama works by a succession of Acaryas depending again on the reminiscent knowledge of the Sruta. Now as Samantabhadra's name finds place in this list of succession of commentators, it is quite possible that he had the knowledge on course partially, of Uvasayajjhayana' and that depending on the same be conposed Ratnakaranda-Sravakacara, the earliest Sravakacara work of the Digambaras. Therefore a comparison o.. Uvasagadasao and R. K. Sravakacara is discussed here. R. K. Sravakacara is divided into seven paricchedas and the statement - 'Iti Sri Samantabhadra-Viracite Ratnakaranda Namni Upasakadhyayane'2 at the end of these paricchedas is noteworthy. The same possibly indicates Upasakadhyayana' to have been the source depending on which the author Samantabhadra has composed this work with the title "Ratnakara nda'. In the first Pariccheda, which opens with the benedictory stanza offering obeisance to Vardhamana Tirthankara, Samyagdarsana with its eig!it Argas. etc. noted for perfection is discussed. The second Pariccheda describes in brief Samyagjnana with its four fold divisions namely Prathamanuyoga, Karananuyoga, Carnanuyoga and Dravyanuyoga. In the 5, Seminar on Join Agama

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 66 A Comparative & Critical Note third Pariccheda, the characteristic feature of Samyakcaritra, its two fold divisions into Sakala and Vikala, the Sravakacara with its divisions and sub-divisions, the Aticaras, list of persons known for their perfection in observing Pancanuvratas and also of those who committed sinful acts such as himsa, etc., and finally names of astamalagunas are related. In the fourth Chapter the characteristic feature of three Gunavraia, Digvrata, Aparthadanda-vrata, Bhogopabhoga-parimana-vrata are treated. In the fifth Pariccheda the four siksavrata in details namely Desavakasika, Samayika, Prosadhopavasa and Vaiyyavrtya are treated. Sallekhana with its importance and exaltedness is described in the sixth Paricchcda. Finally in the Seventh Pariccheda characteristics of eleven Pratimas are related A comparison of the terminology used in both Uvasagadasao and R. K. Sravakacara reveals how almost all the terminologies used in the latter are just the sanskritized forms or at least transformed forms of expressions in sanskrit of ihe terminologies found in the former one. It can be noted that though there is concordance in majority of the terminologies of Uvasa gadasao and R. K, Sravakacara, there are also notable differences. For instance, against the third and fifth Anuvratas namely, Adinnadana and Icchavihiparimana of Uvasagadasao, R. K. Sravakacara is having Acauryanuvrata and Parigraha-parimana-vrata. Anarthadanda is having four divisions according to Uvasagadasao whereas according to R. K. Sravarkacara it is having five divisions. Similarly many such notable differences between these two works can be put forward. By this it becomes evident that the author of R. K. Sravakacara had some source other than Uvasagadasao and this source possibly was Uvasayajjhayana that was available partially, as pointed out earlier; and also that the language and the subject matter of this work did not differ much from that of Uvasagadasao 1.

________________ VIPAKA SUTRA - SOME CHRONOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS Prof. R. N. Mehta, Ahmedabad. Introduction : Vipaka Sutra or Vivaga Suyam, the eleventh Anga is a text of twenty Adhyayanas of 1216 Sloka length. These are divided in ten Dukhavipakas and ten Sukhavipakas. The complete Anga literature according to the svetambara tradition consists of twelve Angas : the Acaranga etc. Distivada, the last one however does not exist. These twelve are jointly known as 'Ganipidaga' or Gaaipitaka. This term seems to be derived from the Buddhist works, the Tripitakas. Problem : In the present stage of information there is a difference of opinion about the existence of the survival of original teachings of Mahavira. The svetambara tradition asserts that the meaning of the original teaching of Mahavira has survived. The Ganadharas had preserved it and this tradition continues, so the literature chronologically refers to a period of circa 5th cent. B.C. It is to be noted that often the verbal tradition continues for many generations and therefore, the claim of the continuation of the basic concepts of the teaching of Mahavira rests on sound experience. However the svetambara tradition asserts that the canonical literature passed through the following stages. The tradition was finally collated at Mathura. It was reedited by Nagarjuna at Valabhi, the capital of the Maitrakas. At this place, the edition of Mathura known as "Mathuri Vacana' was committed to writing. Thus it is clear that the tradition notes that the Angas were committed to writing at Valabhi. Chronologically this event took place prior to the 8th century A.D. when Valabhi suffered heavily and Maitraka dynasty was wiped out. 7. Seminar on Jaiu Agama

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 98 Vipaka Sutra It is, therefore, significant that the canonical literature would reflect the oral tradition of Mathuri Vacana, and the written tradition of Valabhi Vacana. However a perusal of the text of Vipaka Sutra does not suggest that this conclusion is valid, as there are some elements of later date in it. They therefore raise a doubt about the chronology of Vipaka Sutra. An effort is made to study this problem. Method. The method used to study this problem is the examination of the period of the text and that of the commentaries of the text and comparision of the data available from other sources. On the basis of this examination, an effort is made to draw the possible conclusions. Text : The examination of the text of Vipakasutra is based on the work of Agamodaya Samiti and also is based on the Vipaka Sutra of Madhukar-Muni edition printed by Agama Prakasana Samiti, Beawar, in 1982 A.D. It has an excellent introductory study by Devendra Muni Sastri, In this study the chronology of the text is not discussed. However on p. 12 it has been noted that Sthananga 10.111 notes ten Adhyayanas of Dukhavipaka. He has noted the difference of these Adhyayanas. It is tabulated here for comparision. Adhyayanas of Vipaka Adhyayanas of Vipaka according according to the Sthananga to the Present text. 1. Msgaputra 1. Mrgaputra 2. Gotrasa 2. Ujjhitaka 3. Anda 3. Abhayasena 4. Sakata Sakata 5.

________________ R. N. Mehta Sthananga is silent about the second Srutaskandha. The Samav. ayanga does not give the names of the Adhyayanas but it knows twenty Adhyayanas. This is the exact number of the present text. The Sukhavipaka of Vipakasutra notes (1) Subahukumara, (2) Bhadranandi (3) Sugatakumara (4) Suvasavakumara (5) Jinadasa (6) Dhanapati (7) Mahabala (8) Bhadranandi (9) Mahacandra and (10) Varadatta. It is significant to note that Sthananga and Nandisutra are silent about the second part of the Vipaka sutra. The Samavayanga knew the twenty Adhyayanas, but it has not given the titles of the Adhyayayanas of the text. There is a discrepancy in the number of the padas of the existing text and those noted in the Samavayanga and NandiSutra. These discrepancies require interpretations. The interpretation offered by Devendramuni sastri on p. 12 on the basis of Sthananga Vitti is that the second Srutaskandha is discussed elsewhere. This interpretation does not consider chiono. logy. So this aspect requires an analysis of the available data. Analysis : Analysis of the textual data presents the chronological problems as indicated here. 1. The Sthananga and the Samavayanga knew a text of the Vipaka Sutra. The Sthananga knew a text of ten Adhyayanas, whereas the Samavayanga had the knowledge of twenty Adhyayanas. 2. The present text differs in arrangement and length from the one known to the Sthananga. If this arrangement that is noted above is compared, it becomes clear that the first nine Adhyayanas have some similarity. But the last is known in the Sthananga as Kumara licchai. In the present text, the story has no reference to licchai. These facts suggest the differences and they require some chronological considerations. They are listed here. 1. There is a difference between the notice of the text in Sthan. anga and the one available. When did this difference develop ? 2. The Sthananga knew only ten Adyayanas, while the Samavay anga notes twenty Adhyayanas. This difference indicates that
Page #124
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 100 Vipak Sutra the text of Vipaka was changed or reedited. When did this change occur ? These considerations indicate some possible answers. Logically they point to two positions. 1. The presext text of twenty Adhyayanas was reedited and text having twenty Adhyayanas known to Samavayanga was prepared. This situation indicates some time gap. It is highly probable that the second srutaskandha was added at the time of reediting, and the changes introduced, so that the present text differs from that noted in the Sthananga. This logical position requires further study on the following lines. 1. Search of MSS. of the text and its commentaries. 2. Study of the internal aspects of the text from chronological view point. The Agamas are being studied for more than a century. The tremendous efforts of Muni Shri Punyavijayaji and a number of scholars in the search of manuscripts have not led to the discovery of any text of Vipaka Sutra that might pre-date 10th century A.D. This tremendous effort suggest that this line of inquiry might not yield any fruit, but one might continue this effort. In our country, the logical argument that such a situation indicates is beset with unsurmountable difficulties and hence it should not be followed for establishing exact chronology of a work of a long tradition, so the problems arising out of this line of investigation be kept open. The analysis of the present text is also highly significant. It deals with Dukhavipaka and Sukhavipaka. The first Srutaskandha dealing with dukhavipaka notes bad condition of the present life, and its causes are pointed out to be in the past life of the indivi. dual. Hope is given that in future life the individual would gain emancipation. This text deals with the illustrations of dukhavipaka in the first Srutaskandha and Sukhavipaka in the second srutaskandha. Thus the whole text is a good commentary on the principles of Karmavipaka. The first srutaskandha offers the Karmavipaka of past life as an explanation of the sufferings of the present life. The first and
Page #125
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ R. N. Mehta 101 the sixth Adhyayanas indicate that Msgaputra and Nandivardhana suffered due to their misdeeds as an administrator and a jailor. These are therefore directed against administrative misbehaviour. The Adhyayanas 2, 3, 4, and 8 are directed against non-vegetarian diet, cooking of meat, selling of eggs etc. The seventh Adhyayana of Udumbaradatta is directed against the medical practice of recommending the use of meat for curing illness. The fifth Adhyayan of Bshaspatidatta emphasises the evil effects of Human sacrifice for the victory of the rulers. Thus these six Adhyayanas are illustrations of the Karmavipaka of Himsa in some form or other. The major thrust of the last two Adhyayanas is against abuse of sex. The ninth Adhyayana dealing with the present life of Devadatta and her misfortune indicates that in past life she was a prince Simhasena who neglected his 499 wives for one of his wife syama. The tenth Adhyayana deals with the life of Psthvieri, a ganika, who used tantric practices for satisfying her desires. Summarising these Adhyayanas, their principal objectives could be classified as follows :1. Mal administration 20% 2. Himsa due to eating, business etc. 3. Abuse of sex 100% Further study on this basis suggests that the stories emphasise the moral of Ahimsa, Satya and possibly Brahmacarya. Incidentally, the first srutaskandha provides some glimpses into a number of social practices that are utilized in the Vipaka Sutra. If one analyses the Adhyayanas connected with state craft one finds that in the first Adhyayana, the story of Ratthakuda Ekkai is narrated. Here in the sections 20-24, the term Rathakuda is noted thirteen times. This Adhyayana directly deals with general administration. In other Adhyayanas the names of rulers are noted, but their dynastic names do not appear. This situation leads one to inquire into the question, as to why only one dynastic name, the Ratthakuda has been given this prominence ? Ratthakuda is sankritised as Rastrakuta by Abhayadeva, the earliest commentator. This 60% 20%
Page #126
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 102 Vipak Sutra is an administrative term denoting local chiefs, district officers and big land-lords. One of their families became the Rastrakuta rulers. Period of Commentaries, : : The answer rests on two considerations. One of them is the logical conclusion that the present text is later than its reference in the Sthananga Sutra. The second consideration is based on the available commentaries. Significantly, the commentaries on Anga texts are Niryukti, Bhasya, Curni, and tika, and commentaries in different modern languages. These also form a chronological order. The earliest commentary available for the Vipaka-Sutra is that of Abhayadeva of the 11th/12th centuries A.D. If one relies on this piece of evidence, the chronological position of the Vipaka text lies between the Sthananga text and 11th/12th centuries A.D. The date of sthananga also requires to be closely examined, but if one relies on the tradition of Valabhi Vacana, its date is prior to the 8th century A.D. Thus the Vipaka text of the present day would be between the Sthananga and Abhayadeva. It is therefore, reasobale to arrive at a time gap of circa 8th to 11th century A.D. for the present text. This is a time span of about four hundred years. Can it be reduced ? Is there any other evidence to support the conclusion ? Comparision of other data : The answer lies in the study of socio-political situation of this period. Interestingly, this period of 8th and succeeding centuries is marked by the disappearance of older states and emergence of the new powers of the Gurjaras, Palas, Rastrakutas and Cholas in differnt parts of India. In Western India, Valabhi, where the Jain Agama texts were committed to writing was destroyed by the Arabs. Its fall as a capital of the Maitrakas led to the migration of the Jains, The conquerors of Valabhi were defeated by Avanijanasraya Pulakesiraja near Navasari in south Gujarat. These Calukya rulers were defeated by the Rastrakutas, who were powerful in Maharastra, Gujarat and Karnatak in the period of 8th-10th centuries.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ R. N. Mehta 103 The power of Rastrakutas was responsible for stability and patrouage to learning. Their copper-plates refer to Siva, Visnu, Buddha and Jaing. Rulers like Amoghavarsa I and Indra IV were attracted to Jainism. These are interesting aspects of the socio-political situation that are noted in Harivamsa purana of Jinesena. The work was completed in saka 705 when Srivallabha, the son of Indra was ruling in the south. In this situation the period suggested by the analysis of chronological aspects seems to be favourable for literary activities. The references of the first Adhyayana of the Vipakasutra require some consideration. It has been already noted that the first Adhyayana deals with the life of Ekkai who was a savant of a ruler Dhanavayi. Ekkai was ruling over 500 villages of Vijayavardhana Kheda. It is seen that no Rastrakuta ruler is known as Dhanavayi. However Dhanavayi is the Prakrit form of Dhanapati which could give a sense of Srivallabha. Such use of synonyms is a well known literary device. This is an epithet of Govinda as could be seen from the Torakhade grant where the Rastrakuta ruler Govindaraa is noted as "Srivallabha Narendra" in saka 735=812 A.D. The sanjan plates of Amoghavarsa of Saka 793=871 A,D. also note him as "Srivallabha Narendradeva". From these epithets of these rulers it is clear that the name Dhanavayi of the ruler is possibly the use of an epithet of the Rastrakuta rulers. The practice of giving numbers to the areas is also very common in this period, as could be noted in Siharakhi Dvadasa, Ankottaka Caturasiti etc. The notice of Rathakuda for 13 times in the Vipaka Sutra also indicates the intention of the editor of the text. Thus even though Rathakuda is a general term for local officers, it is highly probable that it was used in the story during the Rastrakuta period. Conclusions : Thus the references in thic. Arga texts, the conditions of the commentaries and the prevailing conditions of Indian socio-political situation leads one to the following conclusions :3. The notice in the Sthanariga indicates the existence of Vipaka text of ten Adhyayanas only. If the story of Mrgaputra as
Page #128
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 104 Vipak Sutra noted in the present text be found in the same form as it is today then it will indicate the chronology of Sthananga also. Samavayanga is later than Sthananga and it is either contemporary to the present text of Vipaka or of a little later date. Interestingly a comparision of the description of Mrgaputra wtth that of Guptika of Avadana satakam suggests a close similarity not only of descriptions but also of the moral of the story. Avadana story is comparatively simple. 2. The present Vipaka sutra is a later text. When it was reedited the order of the Adhyayanas was changed and second srutask andha was added. 3. This change seems to have occured during the period of the Rastrakutas in the 8th 10th centuries A.D. If one considers. the inclinations of Amoghavarsa it is possible that this change took place in the later part of 9th century A.D. 4. The 9th and 10th Adhyayanas where the future lives of Deva datta and Anju are noted, it is clearly indicated that they were born as males before emancipation. This is a clear reference to the Digambara practice, that has infiltered in the Svetambara. text. The present text of the Vipakasutra was completed latest by the 10th century A.D. so that it was available to Abhayadeva. for commenting Fresh study of this and other Anga texts is essential for clearing cultural and chronological situation.

________________ UTTARADHYAYANA-SUTRA ON BRAHMANISM V. M. Kulkarni, Bombay It is indeed difficult to settle questions such as: 'whether Jain agama texts are earlier or later than the Upanisads and the Epics, the Mahabharata (including the Bhagvadgita) and the Ramayana, and the like. Instead of delving into matters relating to chronology the present paper confines itself to investigating into the attitude of Uttaradhyayana-sutra, one of the sacred and valuable texts of the Jain agama, towards Brahmanism. Of the thirty-six lectures constituting this text only three lectures called Hariesijjam (Lecture XII), Usuyarijjam (Lecture XIV) and Jannaijjam (Lecture XXV) deserve our special attention as they dwell upon some few noteworthy features of Brahmanism. In the course of his dialogue with his two sons the Purohita, with a view to dissuading them from adopting ascetic life, sets forth before them the Brahmanical ideal : 'Those versed in the Vedas say that there will be no better world for men without sons. My sons, after you have studied the Vedas, and fed the priests, after you have placed your own sons at the head of your house and after you have enjoyed life together with your wives, then you may depart to the woods as praiseworthy sages' (XIV. 8-9). The sons spoke to him these words: "The study of the Vedas will not save you, the feeding of Brahmanas will lead you from darkness to darkness, and birth of sons will not save you. Who will assent to what you said ? Pleasures bring only a moment's happiness but suffering for a very long time...they are an obstacle to the liberation from existence and are a very mine of evils. While a man...seeks for wealth, he comes to old age and death. We will just now adopt Dharma: After adopting it we shall not be born again."..
Page #174
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 150 V. M. Kulkarni In short, this lecture (XIV) strongly recommends the ascetic ideal and pooh-poohs (makes light of) the Brahmanic ideal. Lecture XII (Harikesa) paints Brahmana priests in dark colours: They are described as ignoble men (anarya), arrogant through pride of birth, slaughterers or killers of animals, men who did not subdue their senses, the unchaste/incelibate fools...those who are full of anger and pride, who kill, lie, steal, and own property, are Brahmanas without pure birth and knowledge; they are very bad fields, (on which gifts sown do not grow up as merit): they are only the bearer of words, they do not understand their meaning although they have learnt the Vedas. In the Lecture about the true sacrifice (XXV. 18-19) too the Brahmanas are criticised in these words: The ignorant priests pretend to know the sacrifice; their (so-called) Brahmanical excellence consists in (false) lore; they, resembling fire covered by ashes, shroud themselves in study and penance. He who is called by people a Brahmana and is worshipped like fire is no true Brahmana. Verses 19-29 from this Lecture portray an ideal (Jain) ascetic and call him alone a true Brahmana; and verses 31-34 from this very Lecture explain the true nature of a sramana, a brahmana, a muni and a tapasa and the four varnas as follows: "One does not become a sramana by the tonsure, nor a brahmana by the sacred syllable Om, nor a muni by living in the woods, nor a tapasa by wearing (clothes of) kuga grass and bark. One becomes a sramana by equanimity, a brahmana by celibacy, a muni by knowledge, and a tapasa by penance. By one's actions one becomes a brahmana, by one's actions one becomes a ksatriya, by one's actions one becomes a vaisya or by one's actions one becomes a sudra."3 Harikesa, the son of a svapaka (=Candala), who has adopted asceticism, criticises the Brahmanas for tending the fire, seeking external purity by water, using Kusa-grass, sacrificial poles, straw and wood, touching water in the evening and morning (on the occasion of saying prayers) thereby injuring living beings and com.

________________ Uttaradhyayana mitting sins. He indirectly criticises also bathing in a holy bathingplace (like Prayaga, a celebrated place of pilgrimage at the confluence of Ganga and Yamuna) with a view to washing away sins when he declares: 151 The dharma is my pond, celibacy my holy bathing-place... there I bathe...and get rid of my impurities of sins (also hatred). (XII. 46). He lays stress on the great value of penance and makes light of birth in a high or exalted family. In fact, Harikesa as well as Citra-Sambhuta legends illustrate how a svapaka, detested by all people for being born in the lowest caste, by taking to asceticism reaches the highest place of perfection. These legends bear testimony to the fact that the Jain dharma does not believe in untouchability nor in caste-superiority. Finally, the Jain criticism of Vedic (animal) sacrifices: Jainism prescribes ahimsa (non-violence or non-injury to living beings) as the first and foremost of its five fundamental or basic vratas (vows). Every follower of Jainism must observe this vrata by abstaining from violence or injury to living beings, in thought, word or deed, together with its causal and permissive variations. With such a great emphasis on ahimsa, the attitude of Jainism towards sacrifices involving slaughter of animal is bound to be one of uncompromising dissent and bitter hostility. The Uttaradhyayana, the first mulasutra which is one of the most valuable portions of the Jain agama, on one occasion declares: The binding of animals (to the sacrificial pole), all the Vedas, and sacrifices, being the causes of sin, cannot save the sinner; for his karmans are very powerful (XXV. 30). In the Lecture on Harikesa there is a passage interpreting a sacrifice spiritually which deserves special attention: "He who is well fortified by the five samvaras (preventing by means of the samitis and guptis the asrava, the flowing in of the karman upon the soul), is not attached to this life, abandons his bod (in the kayotsarga posture), who is pure and does not care
Page #176

________________ 152 V. M. Kulkarni for his body, in fact offers the best of sacrifices and as such wins the great victory, Where is your fire, your fire-place, your sacrificial ladle ? Where the dried cow-dung (used as fuel)? Without these things, what kind of priests can the monks be? Penance is my fire; life my fire-place; right exertion is my sacrificial ladle; the body the dried cow-dung; karman is my fuel; self-control, right exertion and tranquility are the oblations, praised by the sages, which I offer (XII. 42-44)."'5 Taking a clue from these passages, many later Jain works dealing with dharma, mythology, philosophy and dharma-kathas denounce bloody Vedic sacrifices at length using cogent arguments. Among such works Mallisena's Syadvadamanjari is particularly noteworthy. Its discussion, however, lies outside the scope of the present paper. Some of these works including Syadvadamanjari cite passages from sruti, smrti, the Mahabharata, the Puranas, as well as the views of the Samkhyas, etc., in the course of their criticism of himsa with approval. These passages leave no doubt that there was a strong body of opinion even in Brahmanism which revolted against hinsa, even vaidha himsa (i.e. himsa prescribed in sastras, such as animal-slaughter in a sacrifice). A.B. Dhruva maintains that "this trend of thought seems to have come down from times earlier than the rise of Jannism and Buddhism, mainly in the Bh ikti and Jnana schools as distinguished from the ritualistic school of Brahmanism." The trend of thought against vaidha himsa may have been present in the period preceding the times of Mahavira and Buddha. One may however add, without any fear of contradiction, that the strong criticism of the Yajniya hissa by the powerful advocates of ahimsa from the Jain and Buddhist circles must have exercised considerable influence and strengthened the trend of though that was already there and contributed to some extent to the decline of the Yajniya himsa. The Uttaradhyayana-sutra criticises the following aspects of Brahmanism : : (i) The ritualism or formalism or ceremonialism as against the self-control and the virtuous life of the ascetics, and
Page #177
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Uttaradhyayana 153 its advocates, the priests (ii) The animal sacrifice prescribed by the Vedas (iii) Caste-system based on birth. (iv) Untouchability and (v) Brahmanic belief that bathing at a holy bathing-place washcs away one's sins. In conclusion may I say: Although Jainism and Buddhism assail Brahmanism for enjoining bloody animal sacrifices, for creating the evil caste-system, for recognising untouchability, for entertaining superstitious beliefs like 'bathing in the river Ganga washes away sins, 'food offered to Brahmanas (on the anniversary of the death of a relative in whose honour sraddha is performed), reaches the particular dead relative (in heaven), 'the birth of a son saves you from hell', etc., we must never lose sight of the most important fact that like Brahmanism and Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism are and remain genuine products of the Indian mind and that they have considerably influenced Indian spiritual life. It is an indisputable fact that although Indian religions and their darsanas present a diversity of views, we can easily discern in them the common stamp of an Indian culture-the unity of moral and spiritual outlook. When we compare and contrast these Indian religions with the foreign religions like Islam and Christianity, we at once realise how closely allied these Indian religions are. Every Darsana is moved to speculation by a sense of discomfort and disquiet at the existing order of things. These darsanas agree implicitly on the four aryosatyas (noble truths) discovered by Buddha : 1. There is suffering. 2. There is a cause of suffering. 3. There is cessation of suffering. 4. There is a way to attain it. These darsanas also accept the law of Karman which implies optimism and makes man the master of his own destiny. They also hold in common the view that ignorance of reality is the cause of our bondage and sufferings and liberation from these can be achieved only through knowledge of reality, continued meditation on the highest principle and a life of self-control (yoga and samyama); further, these darsalas accept the idea of liberation (moksa, mukti, nirvana) as the highest goal or aim of life. Brahmanism, Jainism and Buddhism are the major 11. Seminar on Jain Agama

________________ 154 V. M. Kulkarni constituents of Bharatiya-dharma and Bharatiya-Samskrti and every Bharatiya ought to be proud of this glorious heritage. As researchers or investigators into truth we must take note of the attacks on the Vedas, the Brahmanas, their ceremonialism or ritualism and their institutes of varna and jati, the recognition of degrading untouchability, their superstitious beliefs, etc. and learn from their perceptive criticism, ignoring polemics but we must always and ever keep at the back of our mind the common thread of cultural unity and spiritualism that runs through these three great religions of Indian origin. 1. According to some modern scholars Jainism and Buddhism represent a revolt against the older religion of Brahmapism; the orthodox Jains themselves however assert that their religion is the oldest of all religions, and the religion of the Brahmanas is merely a degenerate form of it. 2. Cf. Traigunyavisaya veda nistraigunyo bhavarjuna / -Bhagavadgita-II-45. 3. Cf. Caturvarnya m maya srstam gunakarmavibhagasah / -Bhagavadgita-IV-13 And, also Bhagavadgita-XVIII-41. 4. Cf. The author of Suyagadamga assails Brahmanical ritual thus : "If it were true that perfection or liberation can be attained by ablutions with cold water, then fishes, tortoises and snakes would attain the highest perfection; and if water really washed away the evil deed, then it must needs wash away the good deed also. Brahmanas assert that perfection or liberation is to be attained by the daily lighting of the fire; if this were true, smiths and artisans of a similar nature would attain the highest sanctity. -Suyagada VII-14-16, 18. 5. Cf. "Superior is wisdom-sacrifice (jnano-Yajna) to the sacrifice with objects (dravya yajna), o harasser of thy foes. All action (Karma) without exception, O son of petha, is comprehended (or culminates) in wisdom (jnana). -Bhagavadgita-IV. 33. And, "Of offerings I am the offering of Japa". (Yajnanam japa-yajno'smi') - Bhagavadgita-X, 25.

________________ MOKSOPAYA IN JAIN CANONICAL LITERATURE AND PRINCIPAL UPANISADS Yashodhara Wadhwani Shah, Pune. Mutual comparison and contrast of all ideas expressed in the Upanisads is, by itself, the topic of a full-fledged book ( vide my "paper published in Sambodhi 2.2, 1973). But one may note here in brief that while all texts in the Jaina canon at least have a common religious doctrine at their base, which provides sufficient ground for harmonization, such is not the case with the Up. s. They rather represent individual mystic reflections and sporadic subjective intuitions of various thinkers as a result of their search across diverse individual experiences and phenomenal forces for a common and lasting underlying substratum, if any. As a result, we often find the teachings of different sages at variance with each other: nay, even with a single sage, his ideas may or may not have been fully crystalized and properly formulated into words, so that it becomes very difficult at times to find a certain underlying linkage or unity in his teachings. Since this is not the case with the Jaina canon, which does present a well-formulated though complex doctrine, could this be the ground for fixing their relative chronology ? ( vide H. Jacobi, 1884, Intro., p. 22 ff ). Well, even if it could, it need not be attempted here. For, that would involve going to the origins; and, as pointed out by Dixit ( 72:5); " An enquiry into the origins of Jainism is a matter of much controversy and much idle speculation.." And while the writing of svetambara canons may not date earlier than the 5th century, their teachings, which started much earlier before Mahavira, could well have grown and developed side by side with those of the Up.s; not rejecting the possibility of borrowings on either side. For, despite the basic difference that Jainism belongs to the anti-vedic Sramana cult of mendicants while Up. s. profess an allegiance to the Vedic cult of house-holders, a serious and unbiased

________________ Moksopaya In Jain..... Upanisads 215 scrutiny does reveal in them a silent imperceptible revolution (-not an open revolt-), gradually denying importance to the external intricacies of vedic rituals and replacing them by mental meditations { upasanas ), aimed at increasing awareness of the inner significance and essence of experienced phenomena. (vide Wadhwani : 1985-6). We shall here restrict ourselves to similarities concerning bondage and the means of liberation ( and avoid other details, to avoid undue lengih ). Bondage : In a vein somewhat similar to the Jaina concept of mithyatva we find ignorance being regarded the cause of the soul's subjection to an embodied state and to repeated death (ch. 8.3.2; BA. 4.4.19; Katho. 4.11; 5.14 )... Delusion ( along with powerlessness ) is blamed for the suffering of the soul in svet. 4.7 ( anisaya focati muhyamanah). This is normally connected with moha as the characteristic of tamoguna in Sarkhva thought. but it can also have a remote connection with the effect of mohaniya karma in jainism. BA. 4.4. 2-6 tell us that at ihe time of death, the soul is acco. panied hy the life-breath, the cognitive organs (including mind) and its deeds; Katho. 5.7 also talks of souls going to new abodes as per their deeds and their knowledge (cf. here svet. 4.6-7; 5.7-12). While Sankhya and Vedanta developed these ideas into the concept of a linga-sarira, they can also be compared with the Jaina concept of a teya and kammaga body accompanying the soul at death... And what is more important, while Jaina canons (Samav. 11 B, 145 B; Than. 361 B, etc. ) speak of six different colours adhering to the soul in accordance with the quality of its deeds, the two extremes of these are referred to in Mait. 2.7 (sitasitaih karma-phalaih ) (cf. here YS and Y.Bh. 4.7 also ). Means of Liberation : "He who, having begun works characterized by the gunas, (later ) causes all attachments to fall off, (he ) would, on the cessation of these, have destroyed all the deeds and ksinaih klesair janma-matyu-prahanih... These abstracts from svet. 6.4 and 1.11, although apparently close to the concept of klesas in YS. 2.2-3 etc., do also reflect thoughts parallel to the Jaina concept that kasayas are the main : cause of the binding effect of karmas, and must therefore be totally annihilated ( ksapita ) in order to attain freedom from rebirth.

________________ 216 Yashodhara Wadhwani Shah This however, is no easy task. We have seen what elaborate prescriptions of right knowledge and faith, along with careful conduct ( manifold samvara, nirjara, etc. ) religious meditations and contemplations Jainism has prescribed for the purpose. No exact parallels to these can be claimed to occur in the Up.s. Yet we can not either ignore the fact that in BA 6.2.15 and Ch. 5.10. 1-2, travel to brahma-loka via Devayana ( the flame of fire etc.) and non-return to a new birth is prescribed for those also, who practise faith, truth and austerity ( sraddha, satya, tapas ) in the forest. Prasno. 1.10 and 15 add to these the practice of brahmacarya and vidya. Mait. 4.3-4 also speak of removal of sin and obtainment of Sat-tva ( similar to Jaina samyak-tva ?) through tapas. (cf. here Utt. 29,27 : tavenam (kamma)vodanam : cutting-off of karman is done by austerity). A cutting or breaking asunder of knots in the heart, said to render a person immortal ( in Katho. 6.15) may likewise have reference to emotional attachments or kasayas of Jainism. But the preceding verse, almost similar, has given renunciation of desires as the remedy; and the same is elaborated in BA 4.4. 5-7, which says at the end that a soul, totally freed from desires, abandons his body as (painlessly as ) a snake removes its dead skin. One can not help recalling here Ayar. 2(4) 16,9 : bhujangame junna-tayam! ) ... Again, sitehi bhikkhu asito pariyvae (ibid. 7, i. e. unbourd by others who are bound, (the wise man ) should wander as a mendicant ) has a parallel in BA. 3.5.1 : etam vai tam atmanam viditva brahmanah..bhiksa-caryam caranti. (cf. also Ayar. 1.6.5.5: evam se anihe...pariwvae ), Katho. 4.2 admonishes that " the childish-mined go after outward pleasures; they (thus ) walk into the snare of wide-spread death. The wise, however, recognising life eternal, do not seek the stable among things which are unstable here". One could very clearly discern here the hint that one must constantly keep in mind the non--eternal nature of worldly things howsoever desirable they may appear. This is certainly comparable with the aniccanuppeha of Jaina canons. And atma va are srotavyo mantavyo nididhyasitavyah (in BA. 2.4.5 after declaring its unperishing nature ) could form the parallel of another of the anupreksas.

________________ Moksopaya In Jain......Upanisads ) Also, the anupreksa on endless rebirth (unless liberation is sought is found reflected in Mait. 1.4: kim kamopabhogaih yaih ...asakrd ihavartanam... Likewise apramada (non-negligence), so well as important in Jainism, is also stressed in Mund 3.2.4 as Tait. 1.11 : satyan na pramaditavyam. dharman na...svadhyayapravacanabhyam...etc. Tapas, dan 1, arjava, ahimsa, satya-vacanam..these qualities enumerated in Ch. 3.17.4 are also found among ten-fold dhamma prescribed by Jaina texts as a type of samvara. In Katho 3.6.9, vijnana or right knowledge is said to lead to the control of senses and the mind, and lead across the road to the final goal, whereas avijnana (wrong knowledge) leads to samsara. Similarly, Ch. 6.14. 1-2 and Mund. 3.2. 2-5 also say that those imbibing the right knowledge from a preceptor, those selfcontrolled (krtatmanah ), free from passion ( vitaraga) and tranquil (prasanta ) attain the omnipresent state (sarva-ga) of the soul, which is the ultimate goal. (Jainism also has stressed right knowledge as a means of liberation, though insisting that it should be of the Jaina doctrine ). We can thus find many parallels in Moksopay as prescribed in the Up.s and in Jainism, barring the numerous complicate technicalities discernible in the latter. = Abbreviations of references. - acc according; Ayar Ayara nga-sutta; Book (part), lecture, lesson, passege; BA.

________________ * + * A QUANTITATIVE EVIDENCE TO SHOW THAT THE ANCIENT JAIN ACHARYAS MIGHT HAVE PERECEIVED ELEMENTARY PARTICLES OF MATTER THROUGH EXTRA SENSORY PERCEPTION. * S. S. Pokharna + B. S. Pokharna ** J. S. Pokharna ABSTRACT Some ideas about extra sensory perception (ESP) in Jainism are presented. It is claimed that the true knowledge is structured in the soul and matter obstructs this knowledge. By getting rid of the material attachment, one can acquire a pure soul and can therefore perceive the whole reality. This knowledge is not restricted by space and time and can be developed to such an extent that one staris perceiving even the microscopic particles of matter. The sizes of these particles as given in Jainism are quite comparable to the sizes of the modern constiuents of matter. A simple interpretation of their ideas do not contradict the recent conclusions of Taylor and Balanovskii that electromagnetism is not involved in the transfer of paranormal information. 1. INTRODUCTION Ancient Indians are claimed to be the masters of several paranormal phenomena like telepathy, clairvoyance and others. Any literature written about these masters, if studied in a scientific way, could provide new avenues of thought. The present paper concerns with an attempt made in this direction The present work is based on a systematic study of the Jaina theory of knowledge, 1 the interrelation between matter and the soul, and the system of measurement of length in Jainism2.

________________ Pokharra knowledge, infinite intuition, infinite bliss and infinite power. However they argue that matter hinders these characteristics of a pure soul (this matter is called Karma). But if once this obstruction is overcome, a pure soul sarts exhibiting its innate nature. Before approaching this state of perfection, one has to pass through a series of intermediate stages. Telepathy and Clairvovance are then treated as classes of knowledge possessed by a mundane soul during these intermediate stages. It is claimed that in the state of perfection one can even perceive the microscopic particles of matter and can therefore have a rough idea about their sizes.3 This is evident from the table of measurement developed by the ancient Jainas. A rough estimate of the sizes of the microscopic particles of matter from their table.4 indicates that their result is quite comparable with the sizes of atoms and nuclei found in the modern physics5. If this agreement is not a mere coincidence then it indicates the great importance of their concept of knowledge as being structured in the soul. Also a simple interpretation of their observations does not contradict the recent experimental observations of Taylo16 and Balanovskii that electromagnetism is not involved in the paranormal phenomena. It may be noted that we do not wish to make big claims but we feel that there is some weight in this kind of work specially when there is some quantitative agreement. In addition, this work should be viewed in the light of the problems encountered while measuring the sizes of the microscopic particles of matter and one should not forget that this work of Jainas is based on the literature (dating) 300 B.C. to 500 A.D. 2. THE JAINA THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE. 266 Jainas argue that knowledge experienced directly through the pure soul is the only real knowledge which is called Kevala-jnana (kevala means only, thus kevala jnana means the only knowledge), This is not restricted by the limitations of space and time. It is defined as a paripurna (perfect), asadharana (unique), samagra (complete), nirapeksa (absolute), visuddha (pure) and sarva-bhavajnapaka (all pervading). In this state one has knowledge of the whole world and its various modes Reality is intuited fully without any

________________ A Quantitative...... Perception * obstruction whatsover (space, time and others). Attributes of all substances are perceived simultaneously. But the past is perceived as in past, future is perceived as in future and present is perceived as in present. In this state the soul is absolutely free from matter i.e. karmas. However, an ordinary mundane soul does not possess this knowledge because of its association with the knowledge-obscuring karmas. Jainas have recognised five subtypes of knowledge-obscuring Karmas each one of which obstructs one kind of knowledge. These five sub-types of karmas and the corresponding classes of knowledge are now described as follows : (i) Mati Jnana ( knowledge acquired through one's own mind): Mati means mind. Thus mati jnana is the knowledge acquired through one's own mind and the five sense-organs. There is no dependence on other instruments and observers. This type of knowledge is termed as paroksa jnana ( indirect knowledge). A person who does not possess this knowledge is said to be strongly infected by the Mati jnanavarana karmas, being associated with his soul. A variation in the quality of this knowledge among different persons is understood by the presence of different quantity of these karmas with varying degree of binding. A person who initially does not possess this knowledge can acquire it by dissociating these karmas. 267 (ii) Sruta Jnana (knowledge acquired by listening and through other sources ) : Sruta means to hear. Thus sruta jnana means the knowledge acquired through the reliable words of others like teachers and other authorities who are well-versed in the knowledge they are communicating. It also includes the knowledge derived from scriptures and other books written by authentic persons. This type of knowledge is also of paroksa type (indirect one). A person not possessing this knowledge is said to be infected with the Sruta-jnanavarana karmas. The variation of this knowledge with time and among different individuals has been attributed to the variation in the quantity of these karmas and their binding with the soul. <

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 268 (iii) Avadhi Jnana (Clairvoyance ) : Avadhi means duration. Avadhi jnana therefore refers to man's capacity to perceive objects lying at different parts of the space at different times and also to perceive events taking place at different parts of space at different times. Its modern equivalent is clairvoyance. Mind and sense-organs are not involved in this kind of knowledge and so it is termed as pratyaksa jnana ( direct knowledge) because this knowledge is a direct experience of the soul. The karmas obstructing this knowledge are termed as avadhijnanavarana-karmas. Their quantity and bondage differs from an individual to individual. But in principle everyone is capable of acquiring this knowledge by dissociating oneself from the bondage of the Avadhi-jnanavaranakarmas. With the decrease in the quantity and bordage of these karmas, the quality of clairvoyance improves Pokharna (iv) Manahparyaya Jnana ( Telepathy) : Manah means mind and paryaya means mode. So manah paryaya jnana means man's capacity to perceive the modes of others' minds directly without the help of sense-organs. It corresponds to telepathy in the modern terminology. It has been also treated as a pratyksa jnana (direct knowledge). Here the modes are nothing but the reflections of the different states of thoughts experienced in the minds of others. However in contrast to clairvoyance which can be present among all members of the anin ate kingdom, telepathy is claimed to be restricted only to the human beings. The karmas obstructing this knowledge are termed as Manahparyaya-jnar avaranakarmas. Once again their quantity and bondage differ from person to person and hence the quality of this knowledge also differs among them. But by dissociating oneself from the evil influence of these karmas, one can start acquiring this knowledge. v) Kevala Jnana (The Supreme knowledge) Kevala means only. This is believed to be the highest form of knowledge which one can think of. After acquiring this knowledge, all other forms of knowledge disappear completely. Details of this The karmas knowledge have already been presented earlier. obstructing this knowledge are called the kevala jnanavarana-karmas. In the state of kevala jnana, a soul is completely free from matter.

________________ A Quantitative...... Perception 269 3. POSSIBILITY OF PERCEIVING MICROSCOPIC PARTICLES OF MATTER THROUGH EXTRA SENSORY PERCEPTION. From the above discussion, it is clear that according to Jainism, extra sensory perception can be developed and perfected to a very great extent and kevala jnana is its ultimate limit. In order to check the truthfulness of these hypothetical ideas, we have investigated the problem further. We have found an interesting collection of data which can provide a quantitative evidence about this hypothesis. This collection of data is based on the Jaina system for measurement of length. This (see Table No. 1) indicates that the ancient Jains had a remarkable scientific vision and a deep insight for systematization of their logical hypotheses. The table shows that they have used an octal system for the measurement of length. This should be compared with the decimal system used in the modern physics (see. Table No. 2) In addition this table covers a very wide range of physical dimensions starting from the size of the smallest particles of matter to microscopic sizes of few kilometers. Now the mere fact that they had thought of estimating the scopic particles of matter is a very interesting observation. Moreover the existence of the estimates of these sizes is very challenging in view of the diffi-ulties encountered in measuring the sizes of such particles. It is claimed that these results have been arrived at through the so called krowledge of the inner intuition. It is therefore of great interest to estimate the actual sizes of their microscopic particles in our terminology and to compare them with the sizes of the modern atoms and the nuclei. To have some physical meaning of this comparison let us first understand the meaning of the term paramanu. This is considered as the smallest particle of matter. The term paramanu consists of two words, parama and anu. Parama means ultimate and Anu means particle. Thus paramanu means the ultimate particle of matter which cannot be further divided and which should be therefore treated as the fundamental particle of matter. It is treated as a point-like particle which does not have any length, breadth or height. Each paramanu has one colour, one odour, one taste and one touch. When two or more than two paramanus combine, one skandha is
Page #294
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 270 Pokharna formed. In general any number of paramanus can combine to form a skandha. Ultimately an infinite numer of paramanus can combine. Several classes of skandhas have been described in the scriptures. Avasannasanna skandha is just one of the skandha formed by an infinite number of parmanus. This has been treated as the smallest particle of matter for all practical purposes. Let us therefore estimate its size. The tabel shows that the average width of ordinary finger is related with the size of the avasannasanna skandha by the following relation. 812 ( Size of avasannasanna skandha ) = Average widih of a finger. For simplicity, let us take the average width of a finger to be around 2cm.! ith this assumption, the size of the avasannasanna turns out to be 2 x 8-12 cm. or 2.9 x 10-11 cm. This value lies in between the size of the ordinary atom, which is of the order of 10-8 cm, and the average size of an ordinary nucleus, which is of the order of 10deg13 cm. We cannot make this comparison very precise because there are a large number of uncertainties. Thus we cannot say whether avasapnasanna skandha of the Jainas corresponds to an atom or a nucleus. This is so because conceptually there is not much similarity in these two descriptions except for the fact that the avasannasanna skandha is treatud as the smallest particle of matter, and atoms (not now of course ) and nuclei are also considered as the t particles of matter in the modern physics. Hence they all occupy some part of the space. Another hurdle in making this comparison more exact is that we do not know much about the various physical objects used by the ancient Jainas in framing this table. ( Hence we cannot check their sizes. ) This comparison of the sizes is therefore definitely very crude but even this rough agreement cannot be left unnoticed in view of (i) the problems encountered while measuring ( or even guessing ) the sizes of the smallest particles of matter, (ii) the fact that this work of Jainas is about 2000 years old and lastly (iii) the fact that this result has been arrived at by an entirely different procedure viz. extra sensory perception.
Page #295
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ A Quantitative ...... Perception 271 If we treat this rough agreement as not a mere coincidence this would mean that extra sensory perception is a hard realily and is a new channel for acquiring knowledge of the world. A knowledge which is beyond the limits of space and time but still concerns with the space-time description of the physical world. Now since we are dealing with an entirely new method for acquiring knowledge, this method can be very different from the standard scientific methods. So we must now deal with this new method in some detail and investigate new laws or conditions which are required to be fulfilled for acquiring this knowledge. Hence in this spirit we now describe the ethical doctrines of the Jainas in the next section. 4. Ethical Doctrines for acquiring the highest state of perfection of soul. From the discussion of section 2, it is now clear that in order to achieve the perfection of the soul with infinite knowledge, one has to dissociate oneself completely from the clutches of the matter attached with his mundane soul. But this is not done suddenly. One has to foll w a systematic approach. Five fundamental principles have been laid down for the process of cleansing. They are (i) Ahimsa ( Non-violence ) (i) Satya ( Truihspeaking ), (iii) Asteya ( Non-stealing ), (iv) Brahmacarya (Celibacy) and (v) Aparigraha ( Non-possession ). It has been very strongly emphasised that one should not only follow these principles in the physical sense but also in the psychical sense. Jainism considers that the preparation for attaining the perfectness of the soul should not be postponed to the stage of complete renunciation. Since renunciation is not merely physical but is primarily psychical, It is a slow process. Hence the preparation for leading a spiritual life should begin early in the life. They have therefore enunciated two fold duties : (i) the household and (ii) the monastic. There are some relaxations for a householder but a monk has to follow the above principles very strictly. It is clearly specified that to get enlightenment one has to practice a series of spiritual exercises like that of reading of scriptures, serving the holymen and other enlightened preceptors (Gurus), daily practice of yoga, Asanas, Meditation etc. With these spiritual exer
Page #296
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 272 Pokharna cises one's inner pleasure increases and one feels that all this material accumulation hinders this pleasure hence the renunciation dawns automatically. Now the first 3 of the above 5 principles have the usual meaning. We shall therefore explain the last two in some detail. Non-possession means that one should renounce one's wealth, property, and other things as much as possible. But a monk has to renounce not only his wealth, property and family etc. but has to even renounce their thoughts and feelings of attachment. At the highest stage of perfection a monk does not require even food, water, air etc. Ultimately he does not require the media of mind to get the full knowledge of the world. Violence, according to Jainism not only means that one should abstain from killing human beings and other animates but it also means one should not even hurt them. Not only this, it also says that one should not even think of hurting others. It therefore implies that one should not hurt human beings and other members of the animate kingdom ( and even their thoughts and feelings ). However some relaxations have been made for a householder who has to depend on other animates for his worldly requirements. But it is preached that one should not kill the higher developed species and should minimize his requirements as much as possible. By adopting this kind of life-style, monks and other acaryas are always there in a relaxed state and free from the feelings of anxiety, tension and ill will for others. They always think of the betterment of the society and their actions are strictly in accordance with the above principles. Some of these factors are similar to the conditions laid down for the successful implementation of experiments in the field of parapsychology. 5 JAINA'S HYPOTHESIS AND THE MODERN SCIENCE In general we believe that this doctrine of karmas should be treated as a good model for biological systems which incorporate several different characteristics. An important aspect of this model is the realisation of a supreme entity which is beyond the material domain but common to all living beings. The recognition of this identity among different animates is a very fundamental aspect of
Page #297
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ A Quantitative..... Perception this model. The present investigations have clearly shown that the nature of this entity is such that it can provide information even about the sizes of atoms and nuclei and can penetrate the spaces and time boundaries. The importance of this entity can be visualised from the problem encountered in the modern science as follows: If we try to explain everything form the point of view of matter then there arises a peculiar problem. According to the second law of the modynamics for a closed system, the entropy always increases with time and becomes maximum in the equilibrium state. If we now compare this situation with the problem of increasing amount of individuality in our social system (The Earth's ecological system can be treated as a closed system) then we can probably appreciate the importance of this supreme entity i. e. the soul. 273 The Jaina's doctrine of karmas can be better appreciated if we look at the working of our brain from the following point of view. It is well known that our brain receives information through different sense-organs. This information is analysed in our brain by the past memory. Some of this information is then stored into the brain and the whole process continues. The sense-organs receive information from one's surroundings which are either dependent or independent of 'the activities of an individual. As each bit of information is generated by some activity in the material world and also since each bit of information causes some material change in our brain, matter is directly involved in the whole process. Furthermore, since adaptation is a fundamental characteristic of the biological systems, so adaptation and the resulting past memory plays a fundamental role in determining response to the new information. We feel that adaptation is very similar to the bondage of the karmas. Instead of assuming an abstract soul completely different from matter in a dualistic spirit, if we talk about our awareness or consciousness of the surroundings then the theory of Jainas clearly lays emphasis on the delocalisation of our awareness. Thus the separation of our soul from the matter means delocalisation of our - awareness from a fixed set of objects (matter). The renunciation of
Page #298
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 274 matter etc. means removal of our awareness from the matter around us. The too much emphasis on celibacy also appers to be related with this delocalisation. In this case if a person is married his (her) awareness is mainly confined to his wife (husband) and his (her) family and its welfare. This requires a sort of confinement of awareness to a limited space-time structure. This confinement appears to be nothing but bondage of our awareness in the terminology of the Jainas. As this confinement of our awareness is possible only because of material particles therefore karmas are held responsible for this bondage. The whole theory appears to be quite genuine if we consider an example of a child who does not have past memory and is also free from any problem of adaptation, he therefore has relatively more awareness of his surroundings than an elder person who has a great deal of past memory and must have adapted to some fixed set of conditions. Pokharna As far as the problem of nonviolence is concerned, it is now I clear that since the soul is present among all living beings, there should be an effective addition and positive feedback towards the direction of achieving the highest state of perfection of soul if nonviolence is seriously practiced. 6.0 EXPERIMENTS OF TAYLOR AND BALANOVSKII Finally we now come to discuss the theory of knowledge in the light of beautiful experiments conducted by Taylor and Balanovskii to check whether electromagnetism is involved in the transfer of paranormal11 information.12 It will be shown that their conclusion about noninvolvement of electromagnetism in the extra sensory perception = ESP phenomena does not contradict the claims of ancient Jainas that microscopic particles of matter can be perceived through ESP. According to Taylor and Balanovskii, if we believe that some radar like action is involved in the transfer of ESP phenomena then it would mean that our body emits some radiations towards a target which are reflected back from the target and received back by our brain and is decoded in it in some way and hence the
Page #299
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ A Quantitative...... Perception 275 information about the target is extracted. Assuming electronmagnetism to be the most reasonable field for experimental investigations, they carried out some experiments. By taking (i) spatial resolution, (ii) penetration depth of the skin, (iii) power and wavelength and (iv) wavelength required for the detection of objects which are being claimed to have been perceived during the ESP experiments, Taylor and Balanovskii have concluded that electromagnetic interaction is not involved in the ESP phenomena. If we now believe that microscopic particles of matter can be perceived through ESP and also assume that electromagnetic interaction is quite reasonable for ESP phenomena then to view an atom, one must require electromagnetic waves of wavelength 10-8 Cm. 10-13 cm. wavelength in order to view nuclei. Now these waver are so energetic that it is hopeless to assume that such waves can be generated in our body and are involved in the ESP phenomena. Thus we conclude that electromagentic interaction may not be involved in the ESP phenomena but they may be still occurring in nature. We conclude this paper with 3 remarks. First of all we do not wish to make big claims. Secondly our main objective of this paper is to present the ancient theory of the Jainas in a scientific ective for further investigation in an attempt to have new ideas. Thirdly we feel that the space-time invariance condition, valid for all physical laws should be carefully probed as far as ESP phenomena are concerned because here we are encroaching into space and time domains themselves. This condition should be rather contrasted to the condition of positive inter-action among human beings which seems to play a very mysterious role in these phenomena. 7.0 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to Prof. B.

________________ THE PROBLEM OF THE SO-CALLED T-SRUTI IN THE MSS. OF CERTAIN EARLY JAIN PRAKRIT TEXTS --H. C. Bhayani, Ahmedabad 1. Several scholars have noted and discussed the striking peculiarity of the manuscripts of some early Svetambara Jaina texts. Sometimes it is wrongly called t-sruti. It can be briefly described as follows: Intervocalie k, g, c, j, t, d and y of Sanskrit were historically lost in Mabarasiri Prakrit. It was mostly the practice of Svetambara Jain Mss. and many non-Jain Mss of Western India to write y (or y, after a back vowel) under certain specifiable conditions to fill the resulting hiatus, which was however generally maintained elsewhere. In the case, however, of certain Mss of early Jain svetambara texts in Prakrit we find a tendency to write instead of y under the same circumstances. The practice was quite sporadic and random : We have forms with such a t or y or with the hiatus preserved, side by side : we find the same form written alternatively in its several occurrences; and two hiatuses in one and the same form are treated differently. 2. Forms with such an interposed t are found in some Mss of the Svetambara canonical texts, their early commentaries (Niryuktis, Curnis, etc.) and some early narrative works like the Vasudevahindi. In the Mss of the last mentioned work they are frequent and in those of the Madhyama-khanda of the Vasudevahimdi, every side of the Ms folios is scattered with such forms." 3. There is no justification for designating such a t as t-sruti. The term is obviously coined after y-fruti and v-fruti. But y (or v under certain conditions) taking the place of an elided intervocalic consonant was a phonetic pheomenon : It was a glide (fruti) which developed to fecilitate transition from one vowel to another. But the t inserted between two vowels in writing had no such basis in

No' rule governs its , insertion, except the sweet will of a scribe. sadi 4. Two other facts also connected with the random insertion of t are notable. Firstly, sometimes we find d instead of t. The following are a few examples : written form usual Maharasgri Sk. form text form vadaNa vaaNa vacana Dasakaliya-Curni (p. 168, 11. 10, 11, 14) sai et Vasudevahimdipaabha prayata Madhyama-khanda vadasA BTT vayasA gaidot. uvAeNa upAyena Vasudevahindi. (188-30) Secondly for an h, be it historically derived from an aspirated stop (kh, gh, th, dh, ph, bh) or original, we find gh, dh or bh written quite arbitrarily. This arbitrariness is compounded by the fact that dh is written for an h derived from bh and vice versa. Occasionaly even for an imitial original h we find bh in the Vasudeva himdi-Madhyama-khundu. Examples are as follows* (the list is only illustrative): Written form usual Maharastri sk. form Text form madhAvIra mahAvIra Aglata Bhagavati-Sutra (Sandesara, Introdu ction, 129, n. 30) mughutta muhunta gea VHM 49. 10 NadhavAhaNa NahavAhaNa 73119167 Avasyakacurni Some of these were already noted by Sandesara in Introduction to his Gujarati translation of the Vasudevahindi. -

Two problems are clearly suggested by the above noted orthographic practices. Firstly how did such queer and confusing scribal practices arise ? Secondly why were these not checked or rectified ? We cannot give definite answers, but some speculations may be permitted.. The Ardha-magadhi of the Sacred Texts, during their oral transmission, could not but have undergone some changes from time * Noted by Malvania in his Introduction to the Curni.

________________ The Problem of T-Sruti 281 to time due to the influence of changing Middle Indo-Aryan dialects. Randomly we would find decreasing conservations and increasing innovations till the Sacred Texts were committed to writing. In phonology, besides the old forms preserving an intervocalic t (as in say, hasati), we would have forms like hasadi and hasai, reflecting the successive stages of the phonological change. Similarly forms preserving an intervocalic aspirated stop, voicing it and reducing it to h would be found at the same time. Besides, in texts like the Curnis and the Vasudevahimdi, there is a tendency to occasional use fully or partly Sanskrit word-forms. During the later period, when literary Maharastri became dominant, the forms with the intervocalic consonant elided were the standard forms. In the case of the texts having a mixture of forms with elided, voiced and unvoiced intervocalic t the latter two come to be looked upon as free variation, and t and d as arbitrary insertions. The same applies to the preservation, voicing and reduction to h of intervocalic aspirated stops. Hence the scribes felt free to write t, d or omit them altogether in the former case and write voiced aspirate or h in the latter case. The period when many of the Mss. containing these peculiarities were eopied, seems to have been a period of deteriorating linguistic and scribal traditions. Preparations of Mss copies were not carefully supervised, checked and corrected. Ultimately, this resulted in a chaotic orthography as we ffnd in the Mss of VH and VHM. Only some such explanation can account for the writing phenomenon discussed here. It is very significant that neither Hemacandra's Prakrit grammar, nor any of the commentators on the Agamas take any note whatsoever of these peculiarties. This clearly indicates that they latter were but aberrant scribal practices.

________________ CITRA-KALA IN JAINA CANONICAL LITERATURE --Lalit Kumar The Jaina canonical literature casts ample light on the state of citra-kala (the art of painting) in ancient India.* In this regard H. C. Bhayani has made a very pertinent observation on the Jaina canonical literature. He writes that the Jaina canonical literature provides not only some of the earliest references to the art of painting but also furnishes some of the missing links in the understanding of the subject.1 I have analyed the data in the Jaina agamas keeping in view the aforesaid observation. However, at certain places, I have also referred to other Jaina and samskTta literature in comparison with the canonical literature. According to Jaina legend as mentioned in Avasyaka Curni (A. D. 600-650), Rsabhadeva was the originator of the art of painting, science of mathematics and symbology.2 However, the art of painting was forbidden to monks and nuns.3 The Acaranga sutra, the earliest agama, tells us that monks were refrained from looking at the painting for pleasure sake. Similar injunctions were laid down in Dasavaikalika.5 Quite naturally they were also prohibitted dwelling in the houses decorated with paintings. All these advices and admonitions must have been realised by Mahavira himself whose utterences were canonised in the centuries to come; thus it helps us in understanding the popularity of this art in ancient India. The Byhat-Kalpa Bhasya has categorised painting as 'sadosa' and 'nirdosa'. The nirdosa or pure painting includes pictures of trees, rivers, mountains, oceans, various kind of creepers, purna-kalasa and swastika.8 Paintings depicting man, women, animals and scenes on framgararasa were considered as sadosa or impure paintings;9 because they were likely to divert the mind and creats obstacles in the path of meditation and spiritual pursuits. 10 However, the learning of this art was considered necessary for a full development of the personality and hence, it was designated

________________ Citra-Kala in Jaina Canonical Literature 283 the third place in the frequently mentioned lists of seventy two arts in the agamas,11 and also in the sixty four arts of the females as mentioned in the Jambudvipa-prajnapati,12 (c. 3rd century A. D.) Vatsayayana in his Kamasutra has suggested that a nagaraka (better citizen) should have a lute, a painting-board (citraphalaka) and a casket full of brushes (vertitka-samudgaka) in his bed chamber.13 The Bhagayati Sutra, the Jnatadhammakatha (c. late 3rd century A. D.) and the Aupapatikasutra (c. 3rd century A. D.) refer to a class of people known as mamkhas.14 Abhayadeva (c. 11th Century A. D.) in his commentary on Bhagavati-Sutra has explained the word mamkha as special type of mendicant whose hands were engaged with picture-board. 15 They appears to have been professional entertainers like many others who were called on to perform at the time of royal celebrations.16 It is important to note that the tradition of mankhas existed as early as sixth century B. C. (It is a well known fact that Ghosala, an ascetic and a contemporary of Mahavira, was the son of a mankha). It is still a matter of conjecture as to whether the painting was done directly on the picture board or on a canvas (pata). Abhayadeva has rightly interpreted the word 'citra-phalaka' as picture-board. The Nala-carita Nataka makes the distinction between phalaka and pata. It says, "here is the board, this is the canvas, this is the brush and here are the colours". (idam phalakam, esha citrapatah, iyam ca tulika, ime ca Varnasambharaha).17 However, it also appears that when phalaka was used the pata was asually pasted or mounted on it.18 We know that the story told by the mamkhas was also shown on a citra-phalaka from which it is abcundtly clear that the form of art was narrative. The form of this narrative art can be easily understood if we take into consideration the important features of early Indian narrative art in stone. The representation of Buddhist jatakus, on the Stupa at Bharhut, sanci and Bodhagaya are examples of the early Indian narrative art in stone. Here we notice 'Unilocal narration as the most striking feature of this art.19 Two or more events, in spite of being far apart in time, were shown at one place. Thus, time factor was completely eliminated and all the

________________ 284 Lalti Kumar events were juxtaposed in one panel.20 But roots of this art is still a matter of conjecture. Visual representation of the story was a common feature in both the traditions viz., in the art of mankhas and in early Indian plastic art. For narrative visuals, space would have been an important parameter. Therefore, the artists must have had certain devices to narrate the whole story in the most effective manner and without losing its essential elements in a given space. Such devices were available to early Indian sculptors as noted above. Archaeological findings do not help in tracing the roots of this art. It is speculated that the material used as medium was perisbable in nature.21. Mankhas tradition of art is perhaps the only answer to the vexatious problem of finding its precedent. It is the only known tradition of narrative art in painting which should have provided sufficient expertise and knowledge to early Indian sculptors in the representation of Jatakas in stone. Besides the narrative panel, there are more references to panel painting. In Acarya Padlipta's Tarangalola, a Jaina Prakrit text of second century A. D., there is a romantic tale which mentions a merchants' daughter, Tarangavati who displayed her canvases in public in the Kaumudi-Mahotsava.22 These canvases represented the scenes of her past life. Similar motifs are also found in later Jaina and non-Jaina stories, for instance, the story of Lalitanga as mentioned in Avasyaka Curni; the story of Nilayasa Lambha in Vasudevahindi and in Asata's Hamsauli in old Gujarati.23 The art of portraiture was well developed in ancient India. In the Inatadhammakatha (c. late 3rd Century A. D.) we read about a portrait of Malli, a princess of highest perfection in beauty, which was painted on the wall by an accomplished artist. In order to appreciate the essence of the art of portraiture, we must note the remarks of Malladinna's mother (dhaya-mata). "She says, My son ! certainly, this is not Malli, the princess of highest perfection in beauty. But the artist has painted her exact likeness."24 The artist was banished from the kingdom by Malladinna for doubting the chastity of his
Page #309
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Citra-Kala in Jaina Canonical Literature 285 sister. After leaving the kingdom, the artist prepared another portrait of the princess Malli on a canvas or cloth. According to the story, first he prepared the citra-phalaka (citra-phalam sajjei ).25 The preparation perhaps included fixing of canvas on the board and the preparation of ground. He rolled up the finished portrait and carried it under his arm to the king Adinasatru. He notified three important elements of the art of painting to the king. These were form (agara), infusion of emotions (bhava), and, portrayal of likeness (padoyire). 26 Jaimangala of Yasodhara, a commentary on Vatsyayana's Kamasutra, mentions six elements of painting. The other three elements are proportion (pramana), creation of lustre and iridescence (lavanyaYojana) and tonality of colours (vernikabhanga).27 Thus, Jaina sources provide the earliest reference to the six principles (fadanga) of painting which were axplained later in the Jaimangala (c. 13th century A. D.) To mention another example, Avasyaka Curni also refers to a portrait of Mrgavati painted by another accomplished artist who was also banished on similar charges from the kingdom.28 Then we also have likenesses from nature painted by artists even of secondary status. The Avasyaka Curni refers to an aged artist Citrangada whose daughter named Kanakamanjari, painted a lively picture of a peacock feather on the floor; while she was waiting to serve food to her father, who had gone to ease himself off.29 The king, who employed the old artist, was passing that way mistook the painted feather as the real one. Such was the quality of realism existent in ancient Indian painting. Painting was also done on some other medium. The Anuyogadvara sutra refers to painting on palm leaf besides cloth.30 The art of painting was also practiced on wall. In the Inatadhammakatha we also read about the art of wall painting. We are told here of Dharini Devi's palace, the interior walls of which were painted with beautiful paintings (suiloyacittalamine), tie ceilings with lotus rhizomes and howering creepers.81

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 286 Lalit Kumar This text also gives description of paintings in the palace built for Megha Kumar.32 It's walls were painted with eha-deer, bull, horse etc. and thousand of other paintings. . Then there is a reference to wall paintings in the picture-gallery of the crown prince Malladinna. The story provides an important clues to the technique of mural painting. For instance, the wall space required to be painted was first divided into panels of different sizes (bhumibhage).33 Then the ground was prepared (bhumi sajjei).34 After this painters proceeded with their colours and brushes. Preparation of ground was an essential step for murals because it provided a smooth and permanent surface for drawing and colouring. The Visnudharmottara gives us detailed information on the elaborate processes involved in the preparation of the ground (bhittisamskara).35 From Ayafyaka Curni we get a better understanding of the nature of the ground.36 It is mentioned in the story of Vimal and Prabhas who were called to make mural paintings in the harem of a king. One of them engaged himself in preparing splandid murals 'whereas the other was still occupied with the prepareaction of the ground on the facing wall, it caused great annoyance to the astonished king who saw one wall apparantly blank. But a pleasant surprise awaited him when the artist drew the curtain aside falling in between the walls. The mural got reflected on the mirror like blank surface of the wall, prepared, perhaps with this intention. We know that after the application of plaster (Vajralepa) on the wall, it was allowed to dry for sometime, after which the surface was burnished.37 But the amount of burnishing required in the preparation of the ground is very well indicated in this story. There are some more references to wall painting. Silankacarya Caupanmahapurisa-Cariya mentions the depiction of the life of Neminatha and Rajimati in a palace which Parsvanath happened to see.38 The scenes influenced him so much that he decided to renounce the world. There is also a reference to some decorative motifs painted on the walls in the Rajaprasniya Sutra.39

________________ Citra-Kala in Jain Canonical Literature 287 The agamic literature is silent about scroll painting, but that does not signify that there were no scroll paintings, for we have non-agamic Jaina religious texts which speaks about scroll painting. Udyotana Suri's Kuvalyumala, a Prakrit text written in 799 A. D., refers to a scroll painted by an artist named Bhanu.40 It depicted the cycle of births and deaths (samsara-cakra). There are mentions of a few other scrolls of similar nature. We also gain knowledge of tonality of colours, mixing of colours and purity of lines which should be fine and distinct.41 These scrolls followed the traditions of early yama-patas which are mentioned in Vishakhadatta's Mudraraksasa42 and Bana's Harsacaritra.43 One of the earliest references to scroll paintings is found in Dutavakya of Bhasa (c. 3rd-2nd Century B. C.).44 It mentions a scroll painting depicting the molestation of Draupadi by Dussasana. The gateways of Sanci stupa provide the earliest archaeological evidence to scroll paintings.45 The architraves of these gateways with voluted ends readily suggest the existence of painted scrolls. The narrative scenes of these scrolls in stone are to be seen on the unfolded portions, which actually form the main body of the architrave. We have already shown the influence of mamkha's art on the early plastic art. The architrave of these gateways again owes its direct inspiration to scroll paintings. It appears that early Indian painting traditions greatly influenced the early Indian art in stone. The Vad daradhane, a Jaina religious text written in the Kannada in tenth century A. D., provides another example of scroll painting. 46 It depicts an interesting tale of picture--showmen who used to steal paddy-rice from the paddy-merchants. They would divert their attention by showing popular tales painted on the scrolls. The Citra-Sabha (picture-gallery) was an insignia of opulence and prosperity in ancient India. There had been atleast three types of picture galleries, viz., private gallery, public gallery and galleries in palaces. The Jnatadhammakatha gives us an example of a private picture gallery of crown prince Malladinna who had it constructed in
Page #312
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Lalit Kumar his house-garden (pramada-vana).47 It had scenes on erotics. (fringara-rasa). We have another example of private picture gallery in the Brhat Kalpa-Bhasya.48 It was maintained by a clever courtesan who was well versed in sixty four arts. She had in her gallery portraits of all classes of men occupied in the professions of their respective castes and in varying moods. This assisted her in the treatment of her clients whom she would first send to the gallery and judging from their reactions their caste, character and taste for arts, would deal with them accordingly. Hemacandra Suri's Parisistaparva gives us yet another example of a picture gallery maintained by a courtesan called Kosa, which had paintings on erotics.49 288 In Jnatadhammakatha we also have an example of a public picture gallery which functioned in a manner analogous to that of a modern museum, where people assembled for recreation and discussion.50 There were arrangements for sitting and reclining. Various groups of professional entertainers like dancers, actors, picture story tellers etc., were permanently employed. The gallery not only had paintings but various other artifacts in stone, wood, metal, clay and other arts. It was built in the eastern garden (vanakhanda) at the behest of a rich merchant Nanda-Maniyar. It is evident enough that the gardens were mostly preferred for building picture galleries. The Tiloya-Pannatti (c. 5th century A. D.) is an agama of the Digambaras, it refers to various kinds of palaces of the bhavanavasi devas, one of them was citra-grha.51 An example of murals in the harem of palace has already been mentioned above.52 The Visnuharmottara maintains that paintings in palaces should exhibit scenes. on erotics, humrous or peaceful sentiments while citrasalas should represent any of the nine-rasas.53 Rasas, emotions or flavour, are as important in painting as in literature. Bharata's Natyasastra ennumerates only eight rasas, whereas Anuyogadvara recognises nine-rasas, the ninth being Santrasa.54 Later on Visnudharmattara also included it as the ninthrasa 55 But Anuyogadvara has replaced bhayanaka with a new raz,

________________ Citra-Kala in Jain Canonical Literature 289 Vgdanaka 56 (abasement) not mentioned in any other lists. Here, the bhayanaka has been considered as a variation of raudra. From the various accounts of picture galleries we come to know that the artists had their guilds (cittagara senim). They were mostly patronized by the kings and rich people. There is hardly any mention in the agamas whether kings were maintaining court painters. They were instead called on to perform certain tasks for which they were honoured and paid lavishly (pritidana). However, we have definite evidences that the artists were also in the service of the kings throughout the year. Kautilya's Arthasatra says that the name of such professionals enhance the prestige of the state.57 There had been Kalacaryas to teach seventy two arts.58 But professional painters seems to have had their family tradition of learning. We have already noted the skill of painter's daughter. The status of a painter in ancient Indian society can be judged from various parables and maxims in literature which refers either to the painter or his work. A reference to mirror-like ground on the wall has already been made in Ayasyaka Curni.59 The story is given to illustrate the purity of heart which should reflect virtues as painting in the mirror. The same text while explaining the various constituents of sutra, i.e. bhasa, vibhasa and vartta, elaborate their meaning with work of a painter.60 It is stated that when a figure is drawn in the right proportion it is called bhasa, when its various limbs are defined than the vibhasa is attained and finally when eyes etc. are painted then vartta or annotation stage is reached. There are many such references in Avasyaka Curni and other Jaina texts. * FOOT-NOTE The dates of the agamic works are taken from M.A. Dhaky's "The Jina image and the Nirgrantha agamic and hymnic unagery", The Sastric Tradition in Indian Art, Heidelbery, 1985, pp. 92-108

________________ TOWN PLANNIG IN THE JAIN ANGA R. N. Mehta, Ahmedabad Introduction : The Angas form the core of Agama literature of the Jainas. Agama, as a source of knowledge, is recognised by Patanjali, the Buddhists, the Jainas and several Indian schools of thought. Agama both as revealed knowledge and the word of the seer is respected all over the world. Jaina Agamas contain the teachings of the Tirthankaras, as preserved by the Ganadharas and verbally transmitted from generation to generation. However, with the passage of time, due to adverse natural circumstances, Agamas according to the Digambaras disappeared. The Svetambara tradition however asserts that their first recension was prepared at Pataliputra i.e. modern Patna and the second at Mathura in the assembly of the Monks under Skandila charya. Another recension was prepared by Nagarjuna at Valabhi, the capital of the Maitrakas. There the Mathura recension of the Agamas was committed to writing during the time of Devardhigaai kshamasramana in about the middle of the 5th century A.D. This is the heriod of the Guptas. The Svetambara tradition asserts that this form of Agamas is available to them. In this literature the twelve Angas are considered to be the central core that preserves the tradition. It is therefore thought that a study of the towns noted in these Angas be undertaken. Incidentally, it may be pointed out that this literature requires critical editions on modern lines. Problem : In our country traditionally, one knows that towns and cities existed from high antiquity. But very little information is available about the nature of their plan, growth pattern, their history etc., in which we are interested to-day. For understanding these aspects

________________ 294 Mehta of our large habitats one has to study the local traditions, the available literature and the archaeological remains, that are obtained. at the identified site. Aims and Methods : In this broad sphere of urban studies, this paper tries to analyse the data available in the Angas, so that it could throw light on the towns and cities noted in them. The search was conducted to understand the nature of towns, their townscape, fortifications, road-system, planning, water-system, traffic etc. that might be available. Methods : For achieving this aim, the primary method was the examination of the reference to the towns and cities in the Angas, Pandit Shri Dalsukh Malvania, Shri Rupendrakumar Pagariya helped the author in this difficult task. Dr. Ramniklal M. Shah and Dr. Nagin J. Shah gave the benefit of certain discussions. The other staff of the L. D. Institute of Indology also gave much assistance. Without this cooperation, this basic work would not have been completed as the authors' knowledge of the language of the Angas is very poor. The reading pointed out that the references to the towns had four characteristics :(i) Most of the references merely mentioned the names of the towns. (ii) Some of them gave sparing references to the plans. (iii) Many mentioned the town and indicated by term Vannao, that their description should be followed as per Jain tradition-from the one in Aupapatika Sutra 1, that is from an Upanga. (iv) Some times after giving a few phrases, the term Vannao was used. The third and fourth characteristics indicated that a perusal of the Aupapatika Sutra 1 was essential. Its first sutra described Champa. Similarly the Rayapaseniya Sutra 1 also had described the

________________ Town Plannig in the Jain Anga city of Amalakappa. Both these descriptions were studied and analysed. 295 Comparision : After completing this reading and its analysis, it was compared to that existing in the Digha Nikaya, the Maijhima Nikaya of the Buddhists, the Meghaduta etc. The results were compared to the Silpa texts like Aparajitaprctha, for understanding the aspects of town planning. After this perusal of literature, the phenomenon described in the Angas and Upanga literature was compared to the available archaeological data. Finally, prior to drawing the conclusions it is essential to indicate the limitations of this study. Limitations: The limitations to this study arise from the nature of the data. Following few of them are noted. (1) The Angas represent the work of Jain Munis. Their code of conduct noted in the Dvitiya sruta skandha of Acaranga seems to have acted as a constraint in the description. The first constraint noted in the Tratiya Adhyayana, Trtiya Uddesaka state that a monk should not observe the geo-morphological features, forts, details of the cities etc. This prohibition would naturally restrict a monk from ohserving and studying the town and applying the present day method of study. The second constraint is noted in the Caturtha Adhyayana, Dvitiya Uddesaka about the use of language. This constraint along with the first will not permit the Jain monks to study the towns and describe them as we do at present. These constraints would be followed to a certain extent and therefore, they would restrict the monks, from the detailed studies of the habitats. Like the Jain monks, the Buddhist monks were also Mumuksus, so their Tripitakas show similar general tendencies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 296 Mehta (ii) The poetic descriptions are not academic studies, so they represent the poet's vision of the towns and hence this literature also suffer from this limitation. (iii) Archaeological studies are also limited. With these limitations the study is capable of throwing good light on some features of the towns and cities that are discussed below. Descriptions of Urban Centres : The descriptions of the Aupapatika and Rayapaseniya are identical, and the Angas take them as standard. The Jnatadharmakatha 5. 2, Antagadadasa 1.8 and the Samavayanga 12 refer to the towns that give some ideas of their plan. The description of the Aupapatika and the Rayapaseniya indicate the existence of 42 notions of the towns. These notions are tabulated here : Notions Statements of Notions Percentage (Approx) 2.4 9.5 19.00 1. Name of the town 2. Description of the region 3. Peace and Prosperity of the region 4. Description of the town. (a) Moat, Fort and Gate (b) Buildings (c) Roads and crossings (d) Traffic (e) Markets 5. Water resources 6. People 7. Praise of the Town Total 14.00 5.00 5.00 9.5 5.00 5.00 9.5 16.1 100.00 (Approx) 42 The table indicates that the description includes not only the name of the town, but also, along with various aspects of its descriptions, it contains information about the region also.

________________ *Town Plannig in the Jain Anga 297. : Names of Towns : The Anga literature notes the towns in at least two catagories One of it is the territorial towns and cities like Campa, Hastinapur, Rajagyha, Kausambi, Sravasti, Dvarayati, Vitasoka and others. The other is the terrestrial ones like Saudharma Kalpa, Ksema. Ksemapuri, Rista, Susima, etc. The study for the identification of the territorial ones, and understanding their area, planning, history etc. requires careful future work. In this short paper this exercise is not undertaken as per restrictions of the seminar. The Vannao of these towns tries to describe them. This townscape is discussed in this paper. Town-plan : The description gives the shapes of towns, and help one to understand their planning. The following four town-plans are noted or could be inferred from the description. 1. Dhanukudil or Addhacanda. 2. Ayata 3. Caturasra. 4. Gopuccha. Dhanukndil : * Usually in fortified towns, the port line covers it up and explains the shape. The Prakara is noted in Aupapatika and Rayapaseniya Sutra 1 as Dhanukudil and Addhacanda. Besides the cities of Campa and Amalakappa, the terrestrial Saudharmakalpa (Rayapaseniya, 112) is also described as Addhcanda or of the same shape. Thus the towns were of Ardhacandra vastu of the Silpa text Apara Jita Prccha 57, 10, 22, Interestingly this shape seems to be either planned or develops in the riverine cities. The geomorphological character of the area forms the physical back-ground for this plan. In the riverine areas, the main stream is joined by the subsequent erosional nalas and develop the bad-land topography. In this topography usually, uneroded small plataeus develop. On two sides of these plataeus, erosional malas join the main stream and often produce D-shaped
Page #322
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 298 Mehta higher areas. These higher areas on the cutting side of the main stream are usually free from floods and hence they are admirably suitable for building villages, towns etc. On such sites, the natural development leads to the growth of the habitation from the river side and it spreads inland following higher contours. This development leads to the typical Dhanukudil Town. Alternatively, if a large settlement is required the higher area of Dhanukudil shape is covered by the fortifications. In either case the town becomes Dhanukudil as noted in the Upangas. A perusal of the cities like Ahmedabad, Surat, Mathura, Fort of Agra, Delhi and others indicate the operation of these geo-morphological forces. This territorial experience could help the imagination to develop the thoughts of terrestrial towns. It could further be strengthened by the semi-circular shape developed by viewing the horizon-zenithhorizon from one direction to the opposite one. Probably such experience would explain the idea of Addhacanda of the Saudharma Kalpa, as noted in the Rayapaseniyo. Ayata : The Ayata plan could he inferred from the exaggerated descriptions of Dvaravati, Pundaragiri, Vitasoka and other towns noted in Inatadharma Katha-5.1, Antagada Dasa-1.8. It is noted that the towns were 12 Yojanas x 9 Yojanas. In simple terms it was a dimension of rectangular or Ayata towns. Caturasra : This shape of the town Vijaya in Suumavayanga, is noted in an exaggerated form as 12,000 Yojanas in length and breadth. These dimensions indicate the square or Cat urasra plan. Such plans exist at sites like Vadodara, Dabhoi etc. Gopucchs : The description of Suryabha Vimana in the Rayapaseniya 113 notes this plan in the terrestrial area of Suryabha in Saudharma Kalps. Does it refer to territorial or terrestrial experience ?
Page #323
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Town Plannig in the Jain Anga 299 On the territorial plane, this shape is a long narrow one with broader area on one side. Such geo-morphological features are found in the riverine areas, as well as in valleys and on ridges in the mountainous terrain. The Ancient Tripuri on the Narmada, Vastrapatha Ksetra of Girnar, and some of the areas of various Tuks on Palitana etc. follow this pattern, and might form the basis of this exaggerated description. The terrestrial experience of the Uttara Falguni Nakshatra in Simha Rasi, the shape of Vrscika, etc. also could give this idea, But, this does not explain the term Gopuecha, and hence should not be emphasised as forming the basis of the description. Forts : The Angs have described the forts of these settlements as having the Prakara, Parikha, Attalika, Cariya etc. The Parikhas are the moats that surround the towns, the Prakara is the fort wall. Its description in the Rayapaseniya, 113 suggests a trapezoidal section, of the earth-works. The existence of mud-wall fortifications at Mathura, numerous earthen embankments indicate the accuracy of this general statement. Archaeological relics of such sloping walls are found at Kausambi and other sites. The descriptions of Kapisirsa or merlons, the attalika and Cariya are too generalised to require comments. The merlons are of different patterns and their vantage for discharge of weapons have different angles. Without any reference to these features, no chronological or historical comments are possible. The passage behind the merlons is also noticed. This is a general notice of the main defence line of the city. Gates : * The entry to the fort is provided by the gates. The weapons of defence are generally noted, but the description does not refer to the barbicans, and therefore, it is not clear whether this feature was not noticed or did not exist. The archaeological data provides for both varieties and therefore the latter alternative is not possible.
Page #324
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 300 Mehta the deseription is silent on the number of gates and therefore it hinders the proper evaluation of the plan. The door way noticed as Dara, Torana, Gopura is evidently a mixture of Torana and Gopura. They usually do not coexist and therefore, the description indicates tautology for effect. The doors with their strong nails, Argala etc. suggest their formidable strength. Roads : As already noted above that the number of gates is not given and therefore, one fails to understand the complete road pattern. only its generalised ideas could be envisaged. From the gate the Rayamagga moved in the interior. Its length and breadth is not available. Traffic : On these roads heavy traffic with elephants, horses chairots, palanquins and pedastrians is noted. This description indicates a fairly heavy traffic on sufficiently broad main roads. These descriptions are silent on the nature of the level of road surface, but its cleaning, and occassional sprinkling of water, suggest the usual dusty roads. The actual roads with paved and unpaved road surface, efforts at levelling etc. are noticed in archaeological work. Road Mesh : The town-plan has an important aspect of the road mesh. It develops different patterns. The Angas note Simghadiya, Tiga, Cauka Carcara that indicate them. Simghadia is a triangular area. It is a highly characteristic feature of Dhanukudila, Vstia, Vsttayata plan where the radial road pattern is utilised. In the Caturasra or Ayata planning this pattern does not develop in the grid. It would only develop, if diagonals be used for road-pattern. But the Silpa texts usually do not prefer this plan. Under these circumstances Simghadiya becomes a typical pattern of Dhanukudil form of towns noted in 'the Angas and Upangas.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Town Plannig in the Jain Anga 301 The frika is a tri-junction that would be the general feature in different plans, specially at peripherial points, depending on the plan. The Cauk and Catvara are however, characteristic features of Ayata and Caturasra planning. These are road crossings and open areas at such crossings in suitable parts of the town. These features are seen in many Indian towns where they are known as Cauk, Cakala, Coraya, etc. It is interesting to note that while the main pattern be radial, the houses, smaller residential areas like Katara, Pole, Vada, Pataka, etc. follow Caturasra or Ayata plan and therefore these features of Cauk and Calvara are found in Dhanukudia towns also. Houses : Within the road mesh houses, residential areas, commercial centres are developed. The Angas describe lines of white coloured houses. Some information about the entrance, bath rooms, kitchen, etc. are found in the texts like Acaranga, but their details are not given. The palace area is mentioned but the details are absent. The references to different Sabhas like Suddarma Sabha, Alankara Sabha, Vyavahara Sabha, Layana etc. are noticed, but they require separate discussion, Incidentally it may be noted that some of the features are highly exaggerated. Markets : Markets are casually noticed in the town, Its commerce of commodities is also noted with general statement that markets were full of different commodities. People : The cities were inhabited by rulers, their retinue, businessmen, artisans, actors, dancers, musicians, story tellers, gymnasts, and others. They are not the primary producers of food and others basic requirements. Those who produced food and such other
Page #326
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 302 primary necessities were living in the janapadas. Therefore, the professions of those living in towns were urbane and hence the description in the Angas is that of urban centres. Suburban area : Mehte These urban centres have a tendency to expand. This expansion develops the suburban areas where gardens, gardenhouses, temples etc. develop. Such suburban areas are noted in the Angas. They had Caityas, settlements of women etc. These suburban areas were known to the Buddhist Tripitkas which refer to the Aramas of different individuals including, ladies like Amrapali in different cities. This character of the Indian towns is described by the poet Kalidasa in Meghduta 7 as gantavyA te vasatiralakA nAma yakSezvarANAM agdana frag facraftar dita graf" | This suburban area occupied by Caityas and its forests is noted in the Mahaparinibbana Sutta also. There it is seen that the Caitya, a funerary structure was outside the city, in its suburban area where cremation ground also existed. The description in the Angas gives correct situation of the townscape. The description suggests that the Caitya existed in a well-wooded area out-side the main city. It was both a place of worship and entertainment as noted in the description. Such situation develops during festivals. Usually preacher-mendicants stay in such religious centres out-side the main habitation. Water Supply: The towns were supplied with enough Agada, Tadaga, Dihiya, Vappina, Puskarinis etc. However, their distribution in the towns is not well defined. The descriptions of Saudharma Kalpa suggest their existence is palatial areas. They might have existed both inside the city as well as out side. But the descriptions of stepwells, Pushkarinis, Tadagas etc. in the same town should be treated as generalised descriptions only. Here different forms of acquatic construction are mixed up. Janapadas.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Town Plannig in the Jain Anga 303 . Jamapadas The flourishing cities had their prosperous regions, studded with habitats and fertile land having good fields and cattle wealth, etc. They formed the infrastructure for the towns noted in the Angas. Conclusions : The analysis of the description of cities in the Angas, upangas and their comparision with other literature as well as archaeodogical relies help one to draw the following conclusions. (1) The descriptions in the Angas and Upangas are generalised. Specific details of cities are not available. The restricitve regulations of observation and use of language for the Jain monks seem to have played their role in developing these writings. If the cities noted in the Angas are to be studied, it would require special effort with the tools of Urban Archaeology. (2) From this initial study, it is seen that four town-plans the Dhanukudil, Ayata, Caturasra and Gopuccha are known to this literature. Further work for detailed study is essential. (3) The narrations suggest that the towns that existed as well as some imaginary ones are also noted. Exaggerated dimensions is an essential feature of this narration. (4) The well protected towns with their Prakara and Parikha are described. But their nature of construction, materials, etc. is not properly described, so it requires further work to understand them, often, there is exaggeration of the materials used for construction. (5) The descriptions follow the pattern of Paura Janapada so the region, the suburban areas and the towns are noted. The region is generally riverine, with occasional reference to sea--ports and towns near hills. (6) The economic activities of the population of the towns suggest that they were highly urbanised according to even modern definitions.
Page #328
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 304 Mehte (7) The description of the towns in Angas and Tripitakas is similar so far as their details are concerned. The Upangas have preserved more details. (8) The narration of towns is of a period earlier than that represented by the Silpatext Aparajita piccha, as the Vastu: of town noted in the Anga has a different tone. It seems to reflect the town plan of cities like Mathura. (9) The descriptions of some Vimanas in the Upangas do not seem to go to a period earlier than circa 5th century A. D. The possibility of later date for them do exist. This point requires further research, (10) On the whole, these descriptions preserve a long tradition of town plans bcginning from at least the Mauryan eriod and continuing upto about 7th/8 th century A. D. Further work in Urban Archaeology is essential for understanding the towns noted in the Angas, the core of Agama literature.

________________ This collection of Seminar papers on the Jain Canonical Literature will be found useful and valuable from two points of view : Some papers occupy themselves with the study and discussion of topics and issues specific to the Ardhamagadhi Canon or broader Jain sacred tradition. The others, however have adopted a comparative perspective relating to the Jain and non-Jain traditions. It is being now increasingly recognised that there has been considerable disproprtion in the study of the Vedic-Hindu, Buddhist and Jain tradition in that much more atterntion has been devoted to the differences between them or their specialities rather than to what is so much commonly shared by them for 2500 years. These papers can be thus looked upon as a pointer in that direction. All concerned in this laudable scholarly endeavour deserve our congratulations. H. C.
