________________ Role of Religion in unity of Mankind and World Peace The present panorama of the world We are living in the age of science and technology. The advancement in our scientific knowledge has removed our religious superstitions and false dogmas. But unfortunately and surprisingly, it has also shaken our mutual faith, faith in moral virtues as well as religio-spiritual values. The old social and spiritual values of life acting as binding on humanity and based on religious beliefs have been made irrelevant by scientific knowledge and logical thinking. Till date, we have been unable to formulate or evolve a new value structure, so necessary for meaningful and peaceful living in society based on our scientific and logical outlook. We are living in a state of total chaos. In fact, the present age is the age of transition, old values have become irrelevant, and new ones have not been yet established. We have more knowledge and faith in atomic structure and power than the values needed for meaningful and peaceful life. Today, we strongly rely on the atomic power as our true rescuer, and discard the religio-spiritual values as mere superstitions. For us human being is either a complicated machine or at least a developed animal, governed by his instincts and endowed with some faculties of mechanical reasoning. Thus, we have developed a totally materialistic and selfish outlook. The advancement in all the walks of life and knowledge could not sublimate our animal and selfish nature. The animal instinct lying within us is still forceful and is dominating our individual and social behavior and due to this our life is full of excitements, emotional disorders and mental tensions. The single most specific feature, by which our age may be characterized, is tension and conflicts. Now a

________________ 152 day not only the individuals, but also the total human race is living in tension. Though outwardly, we are pleading for peace and non-violence yet by heart we still have strong faith in the law of the jungle, i.e. the dictum- 'might is right.' We are living for the satisfaction of our animal nature only, though we talk of higher social and religio-spiritual values. The duality or the gulf between our thought and action is the sole factor disturbing our inner as well as outer peace. Once the faith in higher values or even in our fellow beings is shaken and we start seeing each and every person or a community or a nation with the eyes of doubt, definitely, it is the sign of disturbed mentality. Because of materialistic and mechanical outlook our faith in social and religious values has been destroyed and when the mutual faith and faith in higher values of co-operation and co-existence is destroyed, doubts take place. The doubt causes fear; fear gives birth to violence and violence triggers violence. The present situation is the result of our materialistic attitude and doubting nature. The most valuable thing human race has lost in the present age, is non other than peace and harmony. Science and technology has given us all the amenities of life. Due to the speedy advancement in science and technology, now a day, life on earth is so luxurious and pleasant as it was never before, yet because of the selfish and materialistic outlook and doubting nature of man, which we have developed today, no body is happy and cheerful. We are living in tension all the times and deprived of, even a pleasant sound sleep. The people, materially more affluent having all the amenities of lives are more in the grip of tensions. Medical as well as psychological survey reports of advance nations confirm this fact. Tendency to consume alcoholic and sedative drugs is increasing day by day. It also supports the fact that we have lost our menal peace at the cost of this material advancement. Not only this, we have also been deprived of our natural way of living.

________________ Role of Religion in unity of Mankind and World Peace : 153 S. Bothara maintains "What unfortunately has happened, is that the intoxication of ambition and success has made us forget even the natural disciplines, which we, inherited from the animal kingdom.'" Because of the development of metal faculties, we have not only denied to accept social or religious check post but we also have denied natural checks. Now life-cart has only accelerator, no break. Our ambitions and desires have no limits. They always remain unfulfilled and these unfulfilled desires create frustrations. These frustrations or resentments are the cause of our mental tension. Due to the light legged means of transportation, physical distances are no bars to meet the peoples of different nations, cultures and religions and thus, our world is shrinking. But unluckily and disdainfully because of the materialistic and selfish outlook, the distance of our hearts is increasing day by day. Instead of developing mutual love, faith and cooperation we are spreading hatred, doubt and hostility and thus deprived of peace, mental as well as social and environmental, the first and foremost condition of human living. Need of our age Among the most burning problems, the world is facing today, religious fundamentalism and intolerance is the most crucial. The blind and mad race of nuclear weapons is a clear indication that the human race is proceeding towards its formidable funeral procession. Rabindra Nath Tagore rightly observed "For man to come near to one another and yet to ignore the claims of humanity is the sure process of suicide.?" In the present circumstances the only way out left for the survival of mankind is to develop a firm belief in mutual co-operation and co-existence. Religious harmony and fellowship of different religions is the first and foremost need of our age for the human unity and world peace. Humanity as a binding force Undoubtedly, we belong to different faiths, religions and cultures. Our modes of worship as well way of living also differ to

________________ 154 some extent. No one can deny that our philosophical approaches and viewpoints are divergent, but among these, there is a common thread of unity, which binds all of us, and it is nothing except humanity, We all belong to the same human race. Unfortunately, at present, humanity as such is largely shoved into the background and differences of caste, colour and creed have become more important for us. We have forgotten our essential unity and are conflicting on the basis of these apparent diversities. But we must bear in our mind that it is only humanity, which can conjoin the people of different faiths, cultures and nationalities, all the religions declare human race as one (ego manussa jai).' The difference of caste, culture and creed are not only superficial but mostly the creation of man. What is True Religion? The ultimate end in view of all religions is to ensure peace and happiness for the individual and to establish harmony within human society. However, as revealed from history, countless wars have been fought in the name of the religion. The religion thus remains accused for the inestimable amount of bloodshed of mankind and also responsible for its horrible consequences. Of course, it is not the real form of religion. At present, religion is at best used in the service of vested interests. If one believes that only his faith, his mode of worship and his political ideologies are the right means for securing peace and happiness for mankind, he cannot be tolerant to the viewpoints of his opponents. The immediacy, therefore, is to develop tolerance and friendship for others. It is the only approach by which we can generate peace and harmony in human society. Can religions of which Jainism is a part, meet with this challenge of our times? Before this question can be answered, we must make a distinction between a true and a false religion. A true religion never supports violence, intolerance and fanatical outlook. It cannot be made responsible for the ignominious acts committed in the name of religion by such religious leaders who want to serve
Page #164
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Role of Religion in unity of Mankind and World Peace : 155 their vested interest. The barbarity committed in the past and perpetrated in the present in the name of religion is very largely due to the intolerance and fanaticism of the so-called religious leaders and their ignorant followers. The only way of freeing oneself from this sordid situation is to comprehend the true nature, the essence of religion and to develop tolerance and respect for other's ideologies and faiths. A true religion consists in the practice of equanimity and nonviolence. In Acaranga-sutra the earlier Jaina text (c. late 4th cent. B.C.), we come across with two definitions of religion: 'equanimity is the essence of religion (samiyae dhamme ayariyehim paveiye)', while the observance of non-violence is its external exposition or a social aspect of religion. The Acaranga-sutra mentions that practicing of non-violence is the true and eternal religion. Jainism, since its inception, has been tolerant and respectful towards other faiths and religious ideologies throughout its history. In Jainism one hardly gets any instance of religious conflicts resulting in violence and bloodshed. Jainas, the advocates of Anekantavada fully paid regard to different ideologies and different religious standpoints and maintained that other's convictions may also be valid from a certain standpoint. Humanity as a true form of religion First of all we are human being and then any thing else. Before being divided in - casts like Hindu, Bauddha, Jaina, Christian, Muslim, Sikkha etc. we are all human being. Our prime duty is to be a human in its real sense. This spirit is echoed in one of the earlier Jaina text Uttaradhyayana wherein Lord Mahavira has laid down four conditions for a true religious being viz.- 1. Humanity, 2. True faith, 3. Control over senses and 4. Efforts for self-purification. Among these four conditions of a religious being, humanity occupies the first and the foremost position.
Page #165
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 156 In Jainism religion is defined as a true nature of a thing (vatthu sahavo dhammo) and in the light of the above definition it can be said that humanity is the true religion of mankind for, it is its essential nature. As a human being if we fail to behave like a human being, we have no right to call ourselves a religious being or even a human being. Bertrand Russell, the eminent philosopher and scientist of our age, suggests, "I appeal as a human being to the human beings that remember your humanity and forget the rest. If you can do so the way lies open to a new paradise. If you cannot, nothing lies before you but universal death.S" And thus, I want to emphasize that humanity is our first and the foremost religion. What is Humanity? The question may be raised what we mean by the term humanity? The simple answer is, humanity is nothing but the presence of self-awareness, reasonableness and self-control. These three qualities are accepted as distinguishing features between a human being and animal being by all the humanist thinkers of our age. These three basic qualities are comprehended in Jaina concept of three jewels, i.e. Samyak-darsana (right vision) Samyak-jnana (right knowledge) and Samyak-caritra (right conduct) respectively, which also constitute the path of liberation. The presence of these three makes a being a perfect human being. Fellowship means Unity in Diversity Jaina thinkers assert that unity implies diversity. For them unity and diversity are the two facets of the same reality. Reality itself is unity in diversity. Absolute unity i.e. monism and absolute diversity i.e. pluralism, both of the theories are not agreeable to Jainas. From the generic viewpoint (niscaya-naya) reality is one, but when viewed from modal viewpoint (vyavahara-naya), it is many Once a question was asked to Lord Mahavira, O 'Lord! 'Whether you are one or many'? To this, Mahavira replied, "from substantial viewpoint I am one, but if viewed from changing conditions of mind
Page #166
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Role of Religion in unity of Mankind and World Peace 4. 157 and body, I am different each moment and thus many. This view is further elaborated by Acarya Mallisena, he says "whatsoever is one, is also many." In fact, unity in diversity is the law of nature. Nature everywhere is one, but there is diversity in it, as the natural phenomena differs from each other, so is the case with human beings also. Though all the human beings have some common characteristics and features, yet every individual being different from others has some specific qualities. It is also true about religions. All the religions have some common characteristics sharing with others as well as specific qualities of their own. Universal virtues such as non-violence, friendliness, service to the needy, truthfulness, honesty, control over senses, etc. are commonly shared by all the religions of the world. Unfortunately, at present, these common universal virtues, which are the essence of religious practices, have been ignored and external rituals, which are divergent in their nature, have become more important. Thus we have forgotten the essential unity of all the religions and are stressing on their diversities. Though I am emphasizing the essential unity of all the religions, this does not mean that I am supporter of one world-religion or undermining the specialties and diversities of them. What I intend to say is that the absolute unity and absolute diversity, both are illusory concepts and fellowship of faith means unity in diversity. Co-operation as essential nature of Living Beings For Jainas co-operation and co-existence are the essential nature of living beings. Darwin's dictum- 'struggle for existence' and the Indian saying- 'jivojivasya bhojanam, i.e. 'life thrives on life' are not acceptable to them. They maintain that it is not the struggle but the mutual cooperation is the law of life. Umasvati (4th century A.D.) in his work Tattvartha-sutra clearly mentions that mutual co-operation is the nature of living beings (parasparopagraho jivanam' i.e. living beings
Page #167
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 158 originate, develop and exist with the co-operation of other living beings). So is the case with the human society also, its existence also depends on mutual cooperation, sacrifice of one's own interest in the interest of other fellow beings and regard for other's life, ideology, faith and necessities. If we think that other's services are essential for our existence and living, then we should also co-operate to others living. If we seek help of others in our livings as our right, then on the same ground it is our honest duty to help others in their living. The principle of equality of all beings means that every on has a right to live just as myself and therefore, one should not have any right to take other's life. Thus for Jainas the directive principle of living is not 'living on other's or 'living by killing', but 'living with others' or 'living for others'. They proclaim that co-operation and co-existence are the essential nature of living beings. If it is so, then, we must accept that religious tolerance and fellowship of faiths are such principles to be followed at the bottom of our hearts. Meaning of Religion So for as the leading causes responsible for fundamentalism and intolerant outlook are concerned, in my humble opinion, the lack of the true understanding of the real nature and purpose of religion is prime. By religion, generally we mean, to have some uncritical beliefs in supernatural powers and performance of certain rituals as prescribed in our religious texts, but it is not the true and whole purpose of religion. Equanimity is considered as the core or essence of religion. It is the state in which consciousness is completely free from constant flickering, excitements and emotional disorders, and mind becomes pacific. It is the core of religion. Haribhadra says 'whether a person is a Svetambara or a Digambara or a Bauddha or belongs to any other religion, whosoever attains equanimity of mind,
Page #168
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Role of Religion in unity of Mankind and World Peace : 159 will attain the liberation, (Sambodha-prakarana, 1/12). Thus, the attainment of equanimity or relaxation from tension is the essence of religion. Secondly, when we talk of social or behavioral aspect of religion, it is nothing but the observance of non-violence. Performance of rituals is only the external aspect of religion. In its real sense religion means the eradication of passions and lust for material enjoyments as well as the realization of one's own real nature. Thus the true nature and purpose of religion is to attain equanimity and peace in individual as well as in social life. Whatsoever disturbs mental equanimity and social peace and spreads hostility and violence is not a true form of religion; instead it is Satan in the cloak of religion. But now a days, the essence of religion have been shoved into the background and dogmatism, uncritical faith and performance of certain rituals have got prominence. We have forgotten the end or essence of religion and stuck to the means only. It has become more crucial point that while performing prayer, our face should be in the east or in the west, but we have forgotten the purpose of prayer itself. The religion aims at having control over our passions, but unfortunately we are nourishing our passions in the name of religion. Actually, we are fighting for the decoration of the corpse of religion and not caring for its soul. If we want to maintain religious harmony and ensure peace on the earth, we must always remain aware of the end and essence of the religion, instead of external practices and rituals. The English word 'religion' is derived from the root 'religio'. which means 'to unite'. According to its etymological meaning, whatsoever, divides the mankind, instead of uniting it, cannot be a true form of religion. We must be aware of the fact that a religion in its true sense never supports violence, intolerance and fanatical outlook. A true form of religion is one, which establishes harmony instead of hostility, affection and kindness instead of hatred, individual and social peace instead of mental tensions and conflicts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 160: One World-Religion: a myth Though in order to eradicate the conflicts and stop violence in the name of religion from the world some may give a slogan of one world-religion but it is neither feasible nor practicable. So long as the diversities in thoughts and habits in cultural background and intellectual levels of the human beings are in existence, the varieties in religious ideologies and practices are essential. Haribhadra rightly maintains that the diversity in the teachings of the sages is due to diversity in the levels of their disciples or the diversity in the standpoints adopted by the sages themselves or the diversities in place and time i.e. ethnic circumstances, in which they preached. Just as a physician prescribes different medicines according to the condition of patients, his illness and the climatic conditions, so is the case with the diversity in religious preaching's also.!" Therefore, unity as well as diversity is equally essential for the fellowship of faiths and we should not undermine anyone of them. Just as the beauty of a garden consists in the variety of flower, fruits and plants, in the same way the beauty of the garden of religions depends on the variety of thoughts, ideals and modes of worship. The religions of the world differ from each other only on the basis of their modes of worship and the preacher, but so far as religious and moral values are concerned all the religions of world have a common platform. The essence of all the religions of world is the same and one. Equal regard to all Religions Equal regard to different faiths and religions should be the base of religious harmony and fellowship of faiths. Siddhasena Divakara remarks" just as emerald and other jewels of rare quality and of excellent kind do not acquire the designation of necklace of jewels and find their position on the chest of human beings so is the case with different religions and faiths. Whatever excellent qualities
Page #170
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Role of Religion in unity of Mankind and World Peace : 161 and virtues they possess unless they are bound with a common thread of fellowship and have equal regard for others, they cannot find their due place in human hearts and can be charged for spreading hostility and hatred in mankind." Therefore, if we consider other religions or faiths as inferior to ours or false, real harmony will not be possible. We have to give equal regard to all the faiths and religions. Every religion or mode of worship has its origination in a particular social and cultural background and has its utility and truth-value accordingly. As the different parts of body have their own position and utility in their organic whole and work for its common good, so is the case with different religions. Their common goal is to resolve the tensions and conflicts and make life on earth peaceful. For this common goal each an every one has to proceed in his own way according to his own position. Every faith, if working for the particular common goal has equal right to exist and work and should be given equal regard. According to Siddhasena Divakara (5th Century A.D.) the divergent faiths may be charged as false only when they negate the truth-value of others and claim themselves exclusively true. But if they accept the truth-value of others also, they attain righteousness. He further says 'Every view-point in its own sphere is right but if all of them arrogate themselves to the whole truth and disregard the views of their rivals, they do not attain right-view, for all the viewpoints are right in their own respective spheres. But if they encroach upon the province of other viewpoints and try to refute them, they are wrong.? Rightness of particular faith or viewpoints depends on the acceptance of rightness of others also. One who advocates the view of synoptic character of truth never discriminates the different faith as right or wrong and thus, pays all of them equal regard. Today when fundamentalism is posing a serious threat to communal harmony and equilibrium, unity of world religions is not only essential but also the only way out to save the human race and to establish the peace on the earth.
Page #171
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 162 We should do believe in the unity of world religions but unity according to them does not imply omnivorous unity in which all lose their entity and identity. They believe in that type of unity where in all the alien faiths will conjoin each other to form an organic whole without losing their own independent existence and work for a common goal i.e. the welfare of mankind. The only way to remove the religious conflicts and violence from the earth is to develop a tolerant outlook and to establish harmony among various religions. Blind Faith - the root of Intolerance Among the causes that generate fanaticism and intolerance, blind faith is the principal one; it results from passionate and uncritical outlook. In point of fact, it is considered as a central element in religious intolerance. It leads one's attitude towards a strong bias for one's own and against others religions. Attachment and aversion are the two great enemies of right thinking. Truth can reveal itself to an impartial thinker. Unbiased attitude is not only essential, but it is also the imperative in the search of truth. One, who is unbiased and impartial, can perceive the truth of his opponent's ideologies and faiths and thus can possess deference to them. Intense attachment unfailingly generates blind faith in religious leaders, dogmas, doctrines and rituals and consequently religious intolerance and fanaticism come into existence. The religions, which lay more emphasis on blind faith than reason, are narrower and fundamentalist. While the religions which give due importance to reason also are more conciliatory and harmonious. It is the reason or critical outlook which acts as checkpost in religious faiths and rituals. The uncritical outlook and even a pious attachment towards the prophet, the path and the scripture is also a hindrance to the truth seeker and aspirant of perfection. Attachment results in blind faith, superstition and consequences into intolerant conduct. A person who is in the grip of attachment cannot get rid of imperfection. Gautama, a chief disciple of Lord Mahavira, failed to attain omniscience in the life time of Mahavira on account of his pious attachment towards Mahavira. Same was the case with Ananda, the chief disciple of
Page #172
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Role of Religion in unity of Mankind and World Peace : 163 Lord Buddha, who could not attain arhat-hood in the life-time of his "Sasta." Once Gautama asked Mahavira: 'why am I not able to attain the perfect knowledge, while my pupils have reached the goal. "Lord answered: "Oh, Gautama, it is your pious attachment towards me which obstructs you in getting perfect knowledge and emancipation". Therefore the elimination of attachment is essential in order to develop a tolerant outlook. Reason - the check-post of Blind Faith The blind faith, causes intolerance, therefore, one should not support blind faith. The right faith should be followed by right reasoning. The faith followed by truthful reason cannot be blind one. The reason and faith are complementary to each other and actually there is no contention between the two. Faith without reason is blind and reason without faith is unsteady or vacillating. Therefore, the religious codes and rituals should be critically analyzed.!4 In the Uttaradhyayana-Sutra, Gautama, the chief disciple of Mahavira, strongly supports this view before Kesi, the pontiff of the church of Jina Parsva. He said: "the difference in the Law must be critically evaluated through the faculty of reasoning. It is the reason which can ascertain the truth of Law.!5" If one maintains that the religion has to be solely based on faith and there is no place for reason in it, he will unfailingly develop an outlook that only his prophet, religion and scriptures are true and other's prophets, religions and scriptures are false. He also use to believe that his prophet is only savior of mankind; his mode of worship is the only way of experiencing the bliss and the laws or commands of his scripture are the only right ones, and thus disturbs the peace and also causes conflicts in the name of religion. Whileone who maintains that reason also plays an important role in the religious life, will critically evaluate the pros and cons of religious prescriptions, rituals and dogmas. A biased person believes in the dictum 'Mine is true' while the unbiased person believes in the dictum "Truth is mine". A biased person tries to justify whatever he has already accepted, while unprejudiced person accepts what he feels logically
Page #173
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 164 : justified. Acarya Haribhadra says: "I possess no bias for Lord Mahavira and no prejudice against Kapila and other saints and thinkers. Whosoever is rational and logical ought to be accepted. When religion tends to be rational there will hardly be any room for intolerance. One, who is thoroughly rational in religious matters, certainly would not be rigid and intolerant. Non-extremism is the basis for unity and peace Dogmatism and fanaticism are the born children of extremism. An extremist holds that whatsoever he propounds is correct and what others say is false, while a relativist is of the opinion that he and his opponent both may be correct, if viewed from two different angles and thus a relativist adopts a tolerant outlook towards other faiths and ideologies. Only a relativist or non-violent search for truth finds non-extremism. Non-extremism forbids allowing the individual to be dogmatic and one-sided in approach. It pleads for a broader outlook and openmindedness, which alone can resolve the conflicts that emerge from differences in ideologies and faiths. Satkari Mookerjee rightly observes that the extremist engenders fanaticism, the worst and the vilest passion of human heart. Siddhasena Divakara remarks "All schools of thought are valid when they are understood from their own standpoint and so far as they do not discard the truth-value of others. !6" Hemacandra who was a Jaina saint, composed his works in the praise of Lord Siva. This liberalism should be maintained if we want to establish peace on earth. What is Peace? The term 'Peace' has various connotations. Intrinsically, peace means a state of tranquility of mind. It is the state in which self rests in its own nature, undisturbed by external factors. Peace means soul devoid of passions and desires. Acaranga mentions that an aspirant who has attained peace has no desire.!? Peace means cessation of all desires. Sutrakstangaequates it with the emancipation from all desires in other word; it is the state of self-contentment or total subjectivity i.e. the state of pure Seer. Acaranga maintains that one who is aware

________________ Role of Religion in unity of Mankind and World Peace : 165 of peace will not fall in the grip of passions." While defining peace, Saint Thomas Aquinas has also rightly maintained the same view. He says, "peace implies two things first our self should not be disturbed by external factors and secondly, our desires should find rest in one i.e. the self.' This inner peace can also be explained from negative and positive viewpoints. Negatively, it is the state of the cessation of all the passions and desires. It is the freedom from the vectors of attachment and aversion. Positively, it is the state of bliss and self-contentment. Now we turn to the external peace. Inner peace is the peace of our self while external peace is the peace of society or environmental peace. It is the state of cessation of wars and hostilities, among individuals, individuals and society, different social groups and nations on the earth. So far as this external peace or the peace of the society is concerned, it can also be defined in both ways negatively as well as positively. Defined negatively, it is the state of cessation of wars and hostilities whereas positively it is the state of harmonious living of individuals as well as societies and nations. It is the state of social cooperation and co-existence. But we must be aware of the fact that the real external peace is more than non-war. It is a vital peace. It is the state, free from mutual doubts and fears. So far as the doubts and apprehensions against each other exist, in spite of the absence of actual war, really, it is not the state of peace. Because where there is fear, the war exists. In modern world we term it as cold war. War is war, whether it is cold or actual, it disturbs the peace of society. Real external peace is only possible, when our hearts are free from doubts and fear and each and every individual has firm faith not only in the dictum 'Live and let live', but 'Live for other.' According to Umasvati, "by nature livings being are made for each other (parasparopagrahojivanam)20". So long as our heart are full of doubts and fear and we do not have full control on our selfish animal instincts as well as firm belief in mutual co-operation and coexistence, real social peace on earth will not be possible. Real peace dawns only if our hearts are full of universal love, which was preached by all the religious of the world. This universal

________________ 166 love is based on the concept of equality of all beings and firm faith in the doctrine that by nature living beings are made for each other. This external or social peace depends on the mental peace of individuals because our external behaviour is only an expression of our inner will and attitude towards life. Thus, the various aspects of peace are not mutually exclusive but inclusive. The peace of society or environmental peace is disturbed, when the inner peace of the individual is disturbed and vice-versa. In my humble opinion hostilities and wars are the expressions and outcomes of sick mentality. It is the aggressive and selfish outlook of an individual and society that gives birth to confrontations among individual, individual and society as well as different social or religious groups and nations. At the root of all types of confrontations and wars, which disturb outer peace there lies the feeling of discontentment as well as will for power, possession and hoarding. Thus social disturbances, conflict and confrontations are only symptoms of our mental tensions or sick mentality, which can only be restored through the religious practices. It fact, the peace of society depends on mental make-up of its members, but it is also true that our attitude towards life and behavioral pattern is shaped by our religious environment and training. The behavioral pattern and mentality of the members of non-violent society will surely be different from that of a violent society. Social norms, ideals and conditions affect the mental make-up and behavioral pattern of the individual. There are also individuals of spiritual hold who shape the social norms, ideals and conditions. * Thoughitis correct that in many cases disturbed social conditions and environmental factors may be responsible for vitiating our mental peace, yet they cannot disturb the persons with strong will-power and endowed with spirituality. According to Jainism, spiritually developed soul remains unaffected at their mental level by external factors. But on the other hand soul with disturbed mental state necessarily affects our social peace. The inner peace of the soul is the cause and that of the society is the effect. Now it is the duty of the religious leaders, if they want to establish peace and harmony in the world, they should preach the spiritual and moral values, instead of only outer rituals.

________________ Jaina Literature Among the religions of the word, Jainism is a very minor religion because it does not cover even one percent of the total worldpopulation; but its literary contribution is not much less than other world's major religions. As per available information total volume of known Jaina works is more than twenty thousand and number of total Jaina manuscripts is more than one million. The word 'Jaina literature' does not mean only the Jain religious and philosophical literature. It also includes the secular literature written by Jaina Acaryas and scholars. Thus it covers a very vast area. It includes various branches of knowledge, such as metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, logic, cosmology, biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, geography, history, astronomy, astrology, various arts, architecture, grammar, linguistics, medical sciences and so on. In Jaina canonical literature these different subjects are intermingled, though there are some specific Jaina works which deal with only their own subjects. The primary Jaina literature was composed in Prakrit language, but later on Jaina scholars composed their works in Sanskrit, Apabhramsa, Kannada, Maru-gurjar, Hindi, Gujrati, Marathi and English also. Its composition started from 5th century B.C. and remains continued till today. We can divide total Jaina literature into these five categories: 1. Canonical literature along with its commentaries. 2. Works on Jaina metaphysics, karma philosophy, cosmology, epistemology and logic. 3. Works on Jaina ethics, Jaina code of conduct, yoga and religious rituals.

________________ 4. 5. Jaina Literature : Works on religious preachings along with Jaina narrative literature. Jaina literature on secular subjects. I 169 So far as Jaina canonical literature is concerned it is composed in Prakrit in between 5th century B.C. to 5th century A.D. based on the preachings of the Tirthankaras. This canonical literature includes many books the details of which are found in Nandisutra (5th Century A.D.). The list of Nandisutra includes twelve Angas, six Avasyakas, thirty-one Kalika-sutras and twenty-nine Utkalika-sutras to a total of 78 works. According to Svetambara tradition out of these 78 works, one Anga-agama i.e. Drstivada, 15 Kalika-sutras and 11 Utkalikasutras are not presently available, but the remaining 51 works are available. According to Digambara tradition except a very little part of Drstivada, all the canonical literature has been lost. It is believed that on the basis of some remaining part of the Drstivada, Digambara Acaryas have composed some works, such as Kasayapahuda, Satkhandagama, Tiloyapannatti, Samayasara, Niyamasara, Pravacanasara, Mulacara Bhagavati-aradhana etc. According to Svetambara tradition at present 11 Angas, 12 Upangas, 6 Chedasutras, 4 Mulasutras, 10 Prakirnakas and 2 Culikasutras are available. This canonical literature was restored through five councils. The first council was held at Pataliputra after the 150 years of Mahavira's Parinirvana, under the leadership of Sthulibhadra. The second council had taken place at mountain Kumari in 2nd Century B.C. in Orissa, which was organized by the king Kharvela. The third and fourth councils took place at Mathura and Valabhi simultaneously in 3rd century AD. under the leadership of Arya Skandila and Nagarjuna respectively. Before the third and fourth councils, canons were retained orally, it could be possible only in the fifth council at Valabhi in Gujarat in the year c. 453 or 466, where the canons were edited and given written form under the leadership

________________ 170 of Devardhigani. From 3rd century AD, composition of commentary literature was started. First of all, Niryuktis were written in Prakrit verses, which deal with the technical terms of the canon along with some information regarding the subject matter of that particular work. After Niryuktis, Bhasyas and Curnis were written respectively. Niryuktis discuss the subject matter of canonical works in detail with certain concrete examples. Bhasyas were composed in Prakrit verses whereas the Curnis were written in Prakrit prose mixed with Sanskrit. The Bhasyas and Curnis, were written in 5th and 7th century AD respectively. After Curnis Tikas, Vrttis and Vivaranas were written in Sanskrit language. These Sanskrit commentaries were written by the celebrated authors like Haribhadra (8th Century), Silanka (9th Century), Abhayadeva (11th Century), Malayagiri (12th Century), Santisuri and some other Svetambara Acaryas. In Digambara tradition Virasena and Jinasena (9th and 10th Century) had written the commentaries on Kasayapahuda and Satkhandagama namely Dhavala, Jayadhavala and Mahadhavala. II Among the Jaina philosophical works Tattvartha-sutra, written in Sanskrit by Umasvati (3rd 4th Century AD) with its autocommentary is one of the pioneer works. Various commentaries were written in both the sects by their acaryas. The prominent among those were Siddhasena Gani (7th Century) and Haribhadra (8th Century) from Svetambara tradition and Pujyapada (6th Century), Akalanka (8th Century) and Vidyananda (9th Century) from Digambara tradition. After the Tattvartha-sutra, Siddhasena Divakara's Sanmatitarka and Nyayavatara; Samantabhadra's Aptamimamsa, Mallavadi's Dvadasaranayacakra; Haribhadra's Anekantajaya-pataka, Saddarsanasamuccaya and Sastravartasamuccaya; Akalanka's Nyayaviniscaya, Vidyananda's Astasahasri; Prabhacandra's Prameyakamala-martanda; Vadidevasuri's Pramananayatattvaloka and Syadvadratnakara and Mallisena's Syadvadamanjari are considered as important works on Jaina philosophy.

________________ Jaina Literature : 171 So far as the literature on Karma-philosophy is concerned, after Kasayapahuda and Satkhandagama, Kammapayadi, six old Karmagranthas, four Pancasamgrahas, Gommatasara and five latter Karmagranthas of Devendrasuri are considered as the important works of this category. Late Acarya Devendramuni had also composed nine volumes on karma theory in Hindi and Virasekhara Vijaya and Jagatacandra Vijaya in four volumes in Prakrit and Sanskrit. HI The literature related to Jaina religious practices, ethics, yoga and code of conduct is very vast. Most of the Jaina literature is related with this category. It can be further divided into five sub-categories: (i) Hymns composed in the praise of Tirthankaras covers the greatest part of Jaina literature. Siddhasena's Dvatrimsakadvatrimsikas, Kalyanamandira-stotra, Samantabhadra's Svayambhustotra, Kundakunda's Dasabhakti, Manatunga's Bhaktamara-stotra, etc. are the prominent literature of this category. (ii) The works related to the modes of worship, religious rituals and ceremonies are also, much more in number than other categories. Umasvati's Pujaprakarana was the first work of this sub-category, which is not available at present. In fact, the works of this category are mingled with the works related to Jaina ethics and code of conduct. Haribhadra's works such as Astaka, Sodasaka, Vinsika, Pancavastu, Caityavandanabhasya belong to this category. Jaina literature related to rituals is near about one thousand and five hundred in number. It is very difficult to mention even their names in this short article. (iii) Third sub-category of religious literature includes the works such as Kundkunda's Niyamasara and Astapahuda, Pujyapada's Istopadesa and Haribhadra's Upadesapada, Dharmabindu, Upadesaprakarana Sambodha-prakarana etc. (iv) The fourth sub-category is related to Jaina Sadhana and Yoga. Umasvati's Prasamarati-prakarana, Jinabhadra's Dhyanasataka.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 172 Haribhadra's Yogavinsika, Yogasataka, Yogabindu and Yogadsstisamuccaya, Puyapada's Samadhi-tantra, Sivarya's Bhagavati-aradhana and various other works related to Aradhana and Samadhimarana comes under this category. (v) The fifth sub-category comprises the work related to the ethics and code of conduct for the monks, nuns and householders. Though various canonical works, Tattvartha-sutra and its various commentaries also deal with this subject matter, but some independent works are also composed in this field. In Svetambara tradition Haribhadra's Savayapannatti, Hemacandra's Yogasastra, various Samacaris and Yatidinakrtya were written under this subcategory, whereas in Digambara tradition Asadhara's Anagaradharmamrta and Sagaradharmamsta along with various Sravakacaras have been written. IV Jaina narrative literature of this period is generally divided into five sub-categories, viz. (i) biographies of the 63 illustrious personalities (Salakapurusas) described together in one book, (ii) life-stories of these religious great personalities described independently in a work, (iii) religious tales in romantic form, (iv) semi-historical Prabandhas and (v) compilation of stories in the form of Kathakosas. Some prominent works of the narrative literature such as Caupannamahapurisacariyam of Silanka, Trisastisalakapurusacaritra of Hemacandra, some semi-historical Prabandhas, Prabhavakacarita, Prabandhacintamani, akhyanakamanikosa, Prabandhakosa, etc. of this category were composed between c. 12th-14h A.D. In the beginning of 3rd century A.D., several independent works were composed on various secular subjects such as - Astronomy, Astrology, Geography, Mathematics, Biology, Art and Architecture,
Page #182
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Jaina Literature : 173 Linguistics and Medical sciences, i.e., Ayurveda, etc. It would be in the fitness of the things to record some of the details about such works, viz. Lokavibhaga of Sarvanandi (c. 6th A.D.) and Tiloyapannatti of Yati-vssabha composed in Prakrit are two important works on Astronomy and Geography respectively. Some more works like Umasvati's Jambudvipasamasa and Ksetravicara (c. 3rd A.D.) and Brhatksetrasamasa of Jinabhadragani Ksamasramana (c. 7 A.D.) also deal with Geography and some aspects of Jaina cosmology. Among these works, Ksetravicara is not available today. Jivasamasa and Jivavicara as well as Tandulavaicarika are the works dealing with Jaina Biology, Pujyapada Devanandi (c. 6th A.D.) had composed a treatise named Vaidyakasastra dealing with Ayurvedic medicines, but this work is also not available today. Jyotisakarandaka is a prakirnaka, which also deals with Jaina Astrology. In the field of Grammar, Jainendra-vyakaranaor Endravyakarana of Indranandi (c. 6th A.D.), Saktayana-vyakarana of Saktayana (c. 9th A.D.) and Svayambhuvyakarana of Tribhuvana Svayambhu (c.8th AD) are regarded important works on grammar. Thakkarapheru's works -- Ratnaparikna and Dhatupariksa as well as Vastusara also belong to this category. It shows that Jaina scholars have written in all fields and contributed a lot to the Jaina literature.

________________ How appropriate is the proposition of Neo-Digambara School? An article entitled 'Neo-Digambara School', by Dr. Hampa Nagarajaiah has been published in the January 2006 issue of 'Jaina Journal'. Generally, we all are acquainted with the Digambara and Svetambara sects of the Jainas. There is a less known sect named Yapaniya on which some books and articles had already thrown a fresh light. Dr. A. N. Upadhye and Pt. Nathuram Premi had contributed some articles on this very topic. Books like - 'Yapaniya Aura Unaka Sahitya' by Dr. Kusum Patoria and Jaina Dharma Ka Yapaniya Sampradaya' by the author itself have made the scholars and the elite sections of the Jains well acquainted with the origin and the development of Yapaniya Sect. These works strongly advocated that most of the sacred works of the Digambara sect belong to Yapaniya tradition. In reaction of this thesis a campaign seems to have started to prove these works belonging to Digambara tradition. Dr. Nagarajaiah's article under review is also a link in the same chain. In this article, Dr. Hampa Nagarajaiah has proposed an imaginary Neo-Digambara sect, and has tried to show that the works that are believed to be of the Yapaniya tradition are actually of the Neo-Digambara sect. Here, I would like to discuss whether this deliberation of the learned author is just imaginary or based on any historical facts. As far as the Svetambara, Digambara and Yapaniya sects are concerned; there are ample literary and epigraphical proofs available from the Ancient and the middle Ages. Most of the literary and epigraphical evidences regarding Yapaniya sect dates back to the 5th to the 14th century AD. My first question is, "Is there a single literary
Page #184
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ How appropriate is the proposition of Neo-Digambaras.. : 175 or epigraphical evidence available to support the existence of NeoDigambaras? If not, then what is the basis of the deliberation of Dr. Nagarajaiah. As far as I know, we have the ancient inscriptional proof regarding Kurcaka and the Mulasamgha along with the Svetambara, Nirgrantha (Digambara) and the Yapaniya sects. Mulasamgha is the forerunner of the Yapaniya Samgha, which I have categorically proved in my book - Jaina Dharma Ka Yapaniya Sampradaya'. Although the Digambara scholars relate it to the Nirgrantha Samgha but how far this belief is tenable, to go into can be a controversial issue. I have presented ample arguments to my stand in my book, 'Jaina Dharma Ka Yapaniya Sampradaya'. The interested readers may see that book. So far as the Kurcaka Samgha is concerned, I have found a mention of Kurcaka Gaccha in the Svetambara tradition also. However, firstly, this mention is later, and secondly, it is related to a place Kuchera in Rajasthan, while the inscription regarding the Kurcaka Samgha is found from the South dated 5h century A.D. Was there any relation between Kurcaka Gaccha and the Kurcaka Samgha, is a matter of further investigation. In his book Dr. Hampa Nagarajaiah has mentioned four sects - Yapaniya, Svetambara, Digambara, and Neo-Digambara, and has considered the Neo-Digambara sect as different from the Digambara sect. He has simply categorized the following literary works: 1. 'Paumacariyam', a work on the story of Rama by Shri Vimalasuri is of the Yapaniya tradition. 2. Rama-stories by Silanka and Hemacandra Suri are from the Svetambara tradition. 3. 'Adipurana'by Jinasena, and descriptions about Rama by Gunabhadra (c. 898 AD) and Puspadanta (c. 965 AD) are of the Digambara sect and that 4. 'Padmapurana by Ravisena, 'Harivamsa by Punnata Jinasena and Behatkathakosa'by Harisena are from the Neo Digambara sect.
Page #185
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 176 : To this, my first objection is, "Have Ravisena, Punnata Jinasena and Harisena ever claimed themselves or their master-disciple tradition to be belonging to the Digambara or the Neo-Digambara tradition?" 'Is there any other inscriptional or literary evidence about the Neo-Digambara sect, as found in the case of Yapaniya, Svetambara and Digambara (Nirgrantha) sects? Neo-Digambara sect was neither existent ever before nor at present, therefore, how it can be accepted as a sect? I have clearly proved in my book, Jaina Dharma Ka Yapaniya Sampradaya' that as far as Umasvati, Vimalasuri and Siddhasena Divakara are concerned, they are from a period prior to the clear division of the Jaina tradition into Yapaniya Svetambara, and Digambara (Nirgrantha) sects. The facts mentioned in their works tally with the conditions of the Jaina Samgha in the first-second century AD, when many differences of opinion regarding conduct had crept into but the sectarian division had not taken place. We do get the inscriptional and archaeological proofs about the pre-sectarian-division period in the Mathura inscriptions and its iconography. But these are indicative only of the situation obtaining prior to coming into being of the Svetambaras and the Yapaniyas. They cannot be called Svetambaras, Digambaras or the Yapaniyas. Svetambara, Digambara and Yapaniya grew into sects some two to three centuries later. The clear and early mention of the Svetambara, Digambara and Yapaniya orders are not found before 5th century AD. Dr. Hampa Nagarajaiah's contention that Silanka and Hemacandra represent the white-clad sect while Gunabhadra and Puspadanta represent the skyclad or Nirgrantha sect is not a matter of any controversy. However, his contention that Ravisena, Punnata Jinasena and Harisena were not Yapaniya but Neo-Digambaras cannot be accepted in absence of any solid proof. A careful study of the works of Ravisena, Punnata Jinasena and Harisena shows that many of their beliefs were quite close to that of Yapaniya Samgha. In my opinion, the three works
Page #186
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ How appropriate is the proposition of Neo-Digambaras.. : ' 177 referred to by the learned scholar- 'Padmacarita' of Ravisena, 'Harivamsapurana of Punnata Jinasena, and 'Vshatkathakosa' of Harisena actually appear to be ascribed to Yapaniya tradition. Because many of their beliefs are different from both, the Digambaras and the Svetambaras and such a sect cannot be other than the Yapaniya. To call them by the name of Neo-Digambaras is totally imaginary, because the sect that partly resembled and was partly different from the Svetambara and Digambara traditions was none other than Yapaniya sect, which has already been proved on the basis of ample literary and inscriptional evidence. Revered Dr. Hampa Nagarajaiah ascribes Padmapurana of Ravisena and the portion relating to the story of Rama in the Harivarsapurana of Jinasena to the Neo-Digambara tradition for the reason that they are different from those in the Digambara tradition and follow the story of Paumacariyamof Vimalasuri. However, if he believes that in Padmacarita, Ravisena has followed the story of Vimalasuri of the Yapaniya tradition, he should ascribe Ravisena to the Yapaniya and to the Neo-Digambara tradition. Here, to substantiate his view, he puts forth the story of Kaikeyi. He writes, "Kaikeyi, the queen of Dasaratha, has been shown liberated, and because the Yapaniyas believe in the liberation of women, Vimalasuri must be an Yapaniya. However, as Ravisena has not mentioned about the liberation of Kaikeyi in his Padmacarita, he should belong to NeoDigambara and not to the Yapaniya sect." He was not accepted as a Neo-Digambara just because he did not mention the liberation of Kaikeyi. In Padmacarita itself, there are number of facts that prove Ravisena to be an Yapaniya. When we compare the Paumacariyam and Padmacarita, it becomes clearer that the Padmacarita of Ravisena is generally a Sanskrit version of the Prakrit Paumacariyam of Vimalasuri. If Prof. Nagarajaiah believes Vimalasuri to be Yapaniya, then he should also accept every one who follows his (Vimalasuri's) story of Rama, as Yapaniya. Not only this, in many instances,
Page #187
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 178 Ravisena has, like Yapaniyas, taken the nuns as equivalent to the monks and not unfit for taking the five great monastic vows. Again, wherever he has mentioned the monastic ordination of any man or woman, he has clearly mentioned his or her attainment of heaven or liberation. In available edition of Padmacarita, he has mentioned the monastic ordination of Kaikeyi along with 300 other women and concluded the sarga (section) by saying. "samyaktvam dharayanti sunirmalam." Here, the verb 'dharayanti' has been used in the plural form, which indicates that he has referred to all 300 women and not only Kaikeyi. The 86ih parva of this work neither mentions Kaikeyi's going to heaven nor does it say anything about her attaining liberation. He also does not mention as to what happened to her after death, while in Bharata's case he mentions his nirvana along with his monastic ordination. Similarly, the accounts of Sita's monastic ordination include her description of going to heaven. Under such circumstances, why has Ravisena not mentioned anything about Kaikeyi's destiny after her death? What implies the silence of Ravisena here? If, according to Dr. Nagarajaiah Ravisena was a Neo-Digambara and did not believe in attainment of liberation of women, he could have at least mentioned her going to the heaven. Here, it appears that in order to support the Digambara view of non-liberation of women, the successive copyists or editors had removed the portions related to her liberation and added; "samyaktvar dharayanti sunirmalam" or they had completely removed a verse mentioning the liberation of Kaikeyi. The scholars with sectarian zeal are responsible for such type of act. It is a wellknown fact that the term 'sanjada'was removed from the 93rd aphorism of the first part of Satkhandagama, because it was in very much tune with the woman-liberation. This question had caused quite an argument even amongst a number of Digambara scholars. The very term is still absent in the first published edition of the Dhavala, commentary on Satkhandagama and the copper plates thereof. This

________________ How appropriate is the proposition of Neo-Digambaras.. : 179 was subsequently restored in the second edition. Similarly, in the Jnanapitha edition of the Sarvarthasiddhi, a number of phrases from the earlier editions were changed. In my view, a similar incident has happened in this case also, and the portion related to the liberation of Kaikeyi has been removed. Even then, in this very section of this work, there are a number of facts indicating it to be a work of the Yapaniya tradition. For example, the nuns have never been accepted as equal to the monks in the Digambara tradition, whereas at the end of the 86h parva concerning Kaikeyi, three concluding verses clearly mention that Kaikeyi had torn the web of lay existence and gained the best status of a Aryika. Further it has been said therein that having shed all encumbrance and having gained the wealth of liberation she was glittering like unblemished Moon. Here, we find two indications - first of her liberation and second of her freedom from all forms of encumbrance (parigraha) and both these facts will not be acceptable even to so called Neo-Digambara sect. Further, it has been mentioned that where there was the monastic group of the monks, nearby there was a group of the haloed nuns. Thus, that congregation was resplendent with many a lotus in the form of monks and nuns. Also, there were a number of householders with purity of mind well endowed with austerities and righteousness. Further stanzas of the same work conclude that when the sun of knowledge rises every one is liberated. Thus, even today this parva contains indirect references of woman-liberation and liberation of lay followers as well. Therefore, there remains no doubt about Ravisena's Padmacarita to be a work of the Yapaniya tradition. Dr. Hampa Nagarajaiah has also mentioned an unavailable story of Rama by Srivijaya (c. 865 AD) and Ponna (c. 9 65 AD). However, in absence of the story, it is difficult to say whether they were Yapaniyas or Neo-Digambaras. Acarya Udyotanasuri of the Svetambara tradition has mentioned Vimalasuri and Yapaniya Ravisena in his lineage. It also shows that Ravisena was an Yapaniya,
Page #189
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 180 . because the Svetambaras had always enjoyed good and affectionate relations with the Yapaniyas. Moreover, Dr. Nagarajaiah has tried to show that the author of Harivansapurana, Punnata Jinasena was also from the NeoDigambara tradition. Though he has agrees that the stories of Harivansapurana are different in many ways from Digambara accounts of the stories, even then he is not ready to accept him (Punnata Jinasena) belonging to the Yapaniya tradition and ascribes him to the Neo-Digambara tradition. In support of his view he says that Harivansapurana has neither mention of woman-liberation (stri-mukti) nor intake of foods by Kevalins (kevali-bhukti). Therefore, his views are different from those held by the Svetambara and the Yapaniya traditions, and seem to be of Neo-Digambara. The 65th sarga of Harivansapurana, referred by Dr. Nagarajaiah mentions liberation of the followers of other faiths. This concept of liberation was accepted by the Svetambaras and the Yapaniyas and not by Digambaras. Thus clear mention of liberation of Narada, ordained as a Tapasa by Harivansapurana proves itself as a work of Yapaniya tradition. If Dr. Nagarajaiah accepts the fact that the liberation of the Tapasas was acceptable to the Neo-Digambaras, he will have to invariably accept the liberation of the clothed ascetics as well as the householders and the women also. In that case there would be no difference between the Yapaniyas and the Neo-Digambaras. Actually, those whom he wishes to call by the name of Neo-Digambaras are Yapaniyas only. Yapaniyas do not belong to the Svetambara tradition but to Digambaras, because they support the unclothed monasticism. Yapaniya branch of the Digambaras, being not different from the Digambaras, the origin, development and merger of this sect is related to the Digambara tradition only. Today, their literature, temples, and icons, etc. have been inherited the Digambara sect and it is surprising that why are they so reluctant to the Yapaniyas and unnecessarily coining terms like Neo-Digambaras for them. Is it correct to call the

________________ How appropriate is the proposition of Neo-Digambaras.. : 181 Yapaniya Acaryas and their literature as Neo-Digambara for the sake of self-satisfaction only? Where there are ample literary and inscriptional evidences to support the Yapaniya tradition, nothing is available to support the existence of the Neo-Digambara tradition. If Dr. Nagarajaiah claims all those Acaryas and their works that Prof. Upadhye, Pt. Nathuramji Premi, Dr. Kusum Patoria and myself have already proved to be Yapaniya, as Neo-Digambara, then, which literature remains to be called as Yapaniya? If Neo-Digambaras and the Yapaniyas are the same, the term Neo-Digambara becomes meaningless. In my opinion, Neo-Digambaras are nothing more than a flight of imagination of the learned author. Dr. Nagarajaiah calls Harisena, the author of Bihatkathakosa as Neo-Digambara. But when Harisena mentions the liberation of a householder of minor vows, how can he be different from the Yapaniyas? Harisena mentions the names of Indra and Divakara Yati belonging to his lineage. Indra has been mentioned as a Svetambara acarya in the commentary of Gommatasara but Pt. Nathuramji Premi has accepted that Indra and Divakara Yati were from the Yapaniya tradition. The title yati has been especially used in the Yapaniya tradition and the acaryas have been said to be the leaders of the yatis (Yatigrama agrani). This title was also bestowed upon saktayana himself. Respected Prof. Nagarajaiah has also mentioned the Mulasamgha and the Punnata-Samgha as the Digambara Samghas, but in my book, Jaina Dharma Ka Yapaniya Sampradaya', I have, on the basis of many solid proofs, conclusively proved that these Sarghas belonged to the Yapaniya tradition. In the Halsi (North Karnataka) inscriptions of the 5th century AD, the Digambara Samghas are mentioned as Nirgrantha-Samghas. Therefore, Punnata Jinasena is not Neo-Digambara but Yapaniya only. Again, Punnata-samgha is the later version of the Yapaniya 'Punnatavsksa-mulagana' The ganas of the Yapaniyas mentioned in the inscriptions have been referred to as Mulagana only. Mulasamgha
Page #191
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 182 and Mulagana are synonymous; therefore, Mulasamgha is actually the earlier name of the Yapaniya-Samgha. In due course, when the Yapaniya-Samgha was merged into the Nirgrantha Digambara tradition, the Digambara and Mulasamgha became synonymous. Bhagavati Aradhana by Sivarya is also a work of the Yapaniya tradition, as its comrnentator Aparajitasuri was undoubtedly an Yapaniya. Even the Digambara origin of Vaddha-aradhana and another aradhana also does not prove that the original work was of Digambara origin. Many Svetambara masters such as Haribhadra, Yasovijaya, etc. cannot be Digambara or Bauddha just because they have written commentaries on many Digambara and Buddhist works. The place of honour that Siddhasena Divakara has gained in the Digambara tradition is only because of the qualitative merit of his work. In my book, Taina Dharma Ka Yapaniya Sampradaya', I have clearly proved that Siddhasena Divakara, the author of Sanmatitarka' was the predecessor of the Svetambara and Yapaniya traditions. It is surprising that a serious scholar of History like Dr. Nagarajaiah has written that Abhayadeva, the commentator of Sanmatitarka was a Digambara. In the commentary itself Abhayadeva has mentioned himself as a disciple of Pradyumnasuri of Candragaccha. Not only this, in the last colophon of the Parsvanatha-carita, he has been mentioned as Svetambara gramaniya. Dr. Nagarajaiah contention that Siddhasena and Jatasimhanandi were Neo-Digambaras is not logical. Siddhasena was a acarya prior to the sectarian division and Jatasimhanandi was clearly an Yapaniya. The belief that all the acaryas having 'sena' in his names are from the Sena sect is also not true. In all the three traditions - Digambara, Svetambara and Yapaniya - there have been a number of acaryas whose names ended with the suffix 'sena'. Therefore, it is not proper to call all acaryas with the ending suffix 'sena' as Neo-Digambaras. A sect by the name of Neo-Digambara never existed. If there ever has been any sect working as a bridge between Digambara and
Page #192
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ How appropriate is the proposition of Neo-Digambaras.. : 183 Svetambara, it is Yapaniya sect. Yapaniyas are Digambara only as they support unclothed clergy. I am pained to see as to why the Digambara scholars frown at them by considering them as different. If they have no objection to Dravida and Mathurasamgha and their literature, which are mentioned as Quasi-Jaina Samghas (Jainabhasa), if they have no objection to accept the literature of the Bhatyarakas as their own, then what stops them to accept Yapaniyas as Digambara? Why do they feel the need for coining phrases like Neo-Digambara for them? Actually, Yapaniya is that original tradition from which the traditions of the Digambaras and the Svetambaras have developed, and which bridges the gap between the two. The concept of NeoDigambaras will only go to deepen the dividing line between the two whereas the Yapaniya tradition will bring us nearer to each other, which is the need of the day.

________________ Jaina Canonical Literature Each and every religion has its own canons or sacred books. The sacred books of Jainas are known as agama. Jaina agamas are composed in Prakrit language, which has various forms or shades such as Magadhi, Ardhamagadhi, Pali, Paisaci, Sauraseni, Maharastri, etc. Jaina canonical literature is found in Ardhamagadhi and Sauraseni Prakrit. The Svetambara canons are found in Ardhamagadhi with some impact of Maharastri, while the Digambara cannons are found in Sauraseni Prakrit with some impact of Maharastri Prakrit, which is also known as Jaina-Sauraseni. Most of the Jaina canonical literature was composed in between 5th century B.C. to 3rd century A.D. Though there are some works such as Nandisutra, present edition of the Prasnavyakarana sutra and Antakrtddasanga of Svetarbara tradition and Sackhandagama of Digambara tradition along with some other works of Digambara Acaryas, which were composed after the 3rd century A.D. No doubt some interpolations and changes took place at the time of the Mathuri and Valabhi councils, when the Agamas, after final editing, were given the shape of book. These interpolations and changes are clearly traceable. According to Svetambara tradition, five councils (vacanas) were held at different places for the compilation and editing of the canonical works, particularly for the Ardhamagadhi canons of Svetambara tradition. Though the Digambara tradition does not accept the validity of these councils as well as works compiled in these councils. The first council was held at Pataliputra in 3rd century B.C. The second council was held in 1st century B.C under the

Digambara list of Tattvartha-bhasya, is almost the same with minor difference in two names only. They do not mention the Dasa and the Rsibhasita; instead of that they mention Kalpyakalpya, Mahakalpa, Pundarika and Mahapundarika. It stands thus 13-2 = 11+4 = 15, but they count Kalpa and Vyavahara as one and consider fourteen Angabahya Agamas in total. Regarding the names of twelve Anga-agamas, there is no difference between the

________________ Jaina Canonical Literature : 187 Svetambara and Digambara traditions. But Digambara tradition holds that out of twelve Angas, only some portions of Drstivada are available, rest eleven Angas are extinct. On the basis of remaining portions of Drstivada the works of Digambara tradition like Satkhandagama, Kasayapahuda and some other are composed. Digambaras accept that there were fourteen Angabahya Agamas, but they are also not available in their original form. Among the Angabahya Agamas accepted to Digambara tradition, names of Samayika, Stavana, Vandana, Pratikramana, Kayotsarga, Pratyakhyana, Kalpa, Vyavahara, Uttaradhyayana, Dasavaikalika and Kalpyakalpya (Kalpikakalpika) are also found in the list of the Nandisutra of Svetambara tradition. Rsibhasita, an old Angabahya-agama, is found only in Tattavarthabhasya and Nandisutra. It has no mention in the list of Digambara tradition. Similarly the names of Pundarika and Maha-pundarika found in the list of Digambara tradition are absent in the list of Svetambara tradition. Unfortunately, all the works mentioned in Nandisutra are not available today. Some of them are lost. Out of the twelve Angaagamas, the 7th chapter of Acaranga (Mahaparijna) and the major portion of Drstivada are said to be extinct. So far as the subjectmatter of 7th chapter of Acaranga is concerned, in my opinion, it was mainly related to the Jinakalpa or strict code of conduct of naked monks. When the followers of this strict code of conduct disappeared gradually, no serious efforts were made to restore it and finally it was lost. Likewise, the twelfth Anga Drstivada, which is said to be containing five parts (i) Parikarma, (ii) Sutra, (iii) Purvagata, (iv) Anuyoga and (v) Culika, seems to have dealt mainly with the philosophical doctrines of other schools of thought including the Parsva tradition. Purvagata, the third part of Drstivada exclusively dealt with the doctrines of Parsva tradition, which later on was accepted as the doctrines of Mahavira. All these works were preserved only through the oral tradition, because Jaina monks and nuns were strictly prohibited to write on palm-leaves due to the strict observance

________________ 188. of non-violence. They were of the opinion that in the process of writing, studying and preserving the palm-leaf works, the injury to the Jivas was inevitable. That is why; they made no efforts to restore them in written form. This was the reason behind the extinction of Drstivada as well as some other Agamas. In my opinion, Drstivada became extinct because its contents were not fully in accordance with Mahavira's tradition and were mostly related with philosophical discussions of other traditions and schools, hence unable to arouse interest in Jaina monks. Secondly, the concepts accepted by Mahavira's tradition, were included in other Agamic texts also, hence Jaina monks did not make any effort to preserve the Purva literature. Thirdly, due to the oral tradition other Anga Agamas could not remain intact. We find that earlier subject matter of Prasnavyakarana has been completely changed. Similarly, partial changes as well as some additions are also noted in the subject-matter of Unatadharmakatha, Antakyddasanga, Anuttaraupapatika and Vipakasutra. Among the secondary canons (Anga-bahya agamas) following works, known as Kalika and Utkalika, respectively were also lost in due course of time. The details of such canons are as under: Kalika-sutra not available presently 1. Ksullikavimanapravibhakti 2. Mahallikavimanapravibhakti 3. Angaculika 4. Vaggaculika 5. Vivahaculika 6. Arunopapata 7.

Caranavidhi About the subject matter of these Kalika and Utkalikasutras, not existent today, it is very difficult to comment upon. Their subject matter can be inferred on the basis of their titles only. One Angasutra, i.e., Drstivada, 15 Kalikasutra and 11 Utkalikasutras, thus, the number of extinct texts is 27 in total. Except these 27, all 51 texts are available. At present six Avasyakas being counted as one, the number finally becomes 46. It is not possible here to deliberate on the corresponding authorship, date and subject matter of each and every text of this list in this short article, so I shall discuss only few important works in their chronological order. Primary Canons (Angas) Acaranga is considered as the oldest of all the works of the early period. According to the scholars, the first part of Acaranga belongs to the c. 5th-4th B.C. This part contains the original preachings of Lord Mahavira. It deals with the spiritual preachings
Page #199
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 190 along with the basic principles of non-violence and ethical code of conduct, prescribed for Jaina monks and nuns. Its last chapter depicts a real picture of the ascetic life of Lord Mahavira. The 7th chapter of the first part is supposed to be lost after the composition of its Niryukti, i.e., c. 2nd 3rd A.D. The second part of Acararga is known as Ayaracula - an appendix. It mainly deals with the detailed rules and regulations or the code of conduct of Jaina monks and nuns along with some of the events of the life of Mahavira. Modern scholars opine that the second part of Acaranga was composed during the c. 2nd-1" B.C. Another important canonical work of this era is Sutrakstanga dating 4ih-zd century B.C. This work is also full of spiritual and moral preachings but its peculiarity lies in the presentation of different philosophical views prevalent in that particular era. Like Acaranga, it also comprises two parts (Srutaskandhas). Scholars are of the opinion that the second part of Sutrakrtanga is somewhat posterior to the first. The third important work in chronological order of the Jaina canonical literature is Isibhasiyaim (Rsibhasitai). All the scholars of Prakrit and Jainology: Western and Indian, consider it of c. 4'h- 3rd B.C. It marks the catholicity of early Jaina thinkers. It contains the ethical preachings as well as philosophical views of forty-five thinkers (Rsis). Out of these Narada, Asitadevala, Angirasa, Parasara, Narayana, Yajnyavalkya, Uddalaka, Vidura etc. definitely belong to Upanisadic tradition. Similarly Sariputta, Vajjiputta, Mahakasyapa etc. belong to Buddhist tradition while Parsva and Vardhamana belong to the Jaina tradition. A few others are of other independent Sramanic tradition, not extant today. This work shows that in early period the Upanisadic and other Sramanic traditions were tolerant as well as respectful to each other. Uttaradhyayana and Dasavaikalika are other important works of this early phase. Uttaradhyayana contains thirty-six chapters, mainly dealing with the religious preachings as well as some metaphysical doctrines of Jainism. Some chapters of this text are

________________ Jaina Canonical Literature : 191 regarded as the later additions by the scholars but in no way they are later than the c. 2nd or 1" B.C. The next work Dasavaikalika, composed by Arya Sayyambhava (c. 514-4th B.C.) mainly deals with the ethical code of conduct of Jaina monks and nun along with the spiritual discourses and preachings. However, we cannot deny the possibility of interpolations to the some extent in its final editing. The other works dealing with the ethical code of conduct are Nisitha, Dasasrutaskandha (Ayaradasa), Vyvahara and Kalpa, all composed by Arya Bhadrabahu in c. 3rd B.C. These works, apart from code of conduct deal with transgressions and atonements also. Against the general belief, that all the Angas are composed by the Ganadharas, direct disciples of Lord Mahavira, some scholars maintain that except Acaranga and Sutrakrtanga, all the Angas are composed later on. In my opinion, it is very difficult to assign any particular date or authorship to these extant works because of containing different levels of the development of Jaina thought, occurred through different ages. After Acararga and Sutrakrtanga, next two Angas in successive order are Sthanarga and Samavayarga. They may be considered as Encyclopaedia of early Jaina thoughts and beliefs, mainly based on the numbers more or less similar to Anguttaranikaya of Buddhist tradition. Both these works provide more information about the Jaina order and development of Jaina thoughts of the later period, i.e., C. 3rd_4th A.D. The next in the list is Bhagavati (Vyakhyaprajnapti) which mainly deals with different aspects of Jaina philosophy. According to a group of scholars, this voluminous work was composed at different phases and not at one time. Evidently, it has references to the tater works like Prajnapana, Anuyogadvara, etc. belonging to c. 1sl_4th A.D. and side by side, depicts various earlier original concepts, witnessing change in the process of development of Jaina thoughts. The next work of early period is Jnatadharmakatha. Second part of this work is considerably later than the first. The first contains
Page #201
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 192 mainly stories preached by Lord Mahavira to his disciples. Its 19 chapters, referred to in Avasyaka-sutra, are undoubtedly composed in the early period. The next among Anga canons is Upasakadasamga, considered as the first work related to the code of conduct of lay devotees (Sravakas). It comprises life-sketches of ten prominent lay followers of Lord Mahavira. Not having any trace of any later work, it belongs to the early period. Antakrddasanga deals with the lifestories and ascetic life of the persons attaining their salvation in the last span of their life. According to Sthananga, it has only ten chapters dealing with life-stories of 10 persons. But present volume contains life-stories of 93 persons. It clearly shows that not at the time of Valabhi Vacana alone but even after that some additional matters were incorporated in Sthananga. Same is the case with Anuttaraupapatikadasanga. Its early edition contained life-stories of only ten persons who attained Sarvarthasiddhi Vimana and were supposed to attain liberation in their next births. Of Jaina canon Prasnavyakaranadasa, unfortunately, the earlier contents are totally extinct. It seems that the present subject matter of this work was incorporated in around c. 7th A.D. Its extant edition deals with five Samvaras, viz. truthfulness, non-violence, non-stealing, chastity and non-possession. Last available work of Anga canon is Vipakadasa, dealing with fruits of merit and demerits. Secondary Canons (Upanga) The first work of the secondary cannons is Aupapatika. The next work of this category is Rajaprasniya, which so far its subject matter is concerned, is more similar to the Buddhist Pali canon - Paseniyasutta. Dealing with the episode of Suryabhadeva, it also depicts a beautiful picture of ancient art and architecture. On the basis of this depiction, scholars date this work not earlier than c. 12nd A.D. The third and the fourth, Jivabhigama and Prajnapana, respectively, deal with the Jaina metaphysics in general and the concepts of jiva and ajiva in particular. The authorship of Prajnapana is attributed to Arya Syama (c. 1st A.D.). Out of these twelve

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Jaina Canonical Literature :. 193 secondary canonical works only Prajnapana's authorship is known. About the authorship of other works, we are still in dark. The fifth one is Jambudvipaprajnapti, mainly dealing with Jaina Geography in addition to the life history of Rsabhadeva. The subject matter of next two works, Suryaprajnapti and Candraprajnapti are related with Jaina cosmology in general and Jaina astronomy in particular. Scholars date these works c. 2nd-1 B.C. Other five works of this bunch are very short and rather of less important. Besides Anga & Upanga canonical literature, Candravedhyaka, Tandulavaicarika, Aturapratyakhyana, Mahapratyakhyana, Maranavibhakti mainly concerned with the Jaina Sadhana, are known as Prakirnakas, in general and Samadhimarana in particular. All these works are, undoubtedly earlier to the c. 4th-5th A.D. Among the non-canonical works of this period, very few in number are extant, namely Tattvartha-sutra and its auto-commentary (c. 3rd-4th A.D.), Paumacariya of Vimalasuri (c. 2nd_5th A.D.) and Digambara works composed in Sauraseni Prakrit like Kasayapahuda of Gunadhara (c. 4th A.D.) and Satkhandagama of Puspadanta Bhutabali (about c. 5th A.D.). Apart from these, the works of Kundakunda, Samantabhadra and Siddhasena Divakara may also be considered as the works of early period. Scholars differ on the exact date of composition of these works, except that of Tattvartha-sutra. They date these works in between c. 2nd -5th A.D. Niryuktis ate the first among the non-canonical literature. Ten in number, they are of great importance. These Niryuktis mainly explain the meaning of Jaina technical terms from the various standpoints along with the brief account of the subject matter of that particular Agama. Scholars widely differ about the time and authorship of Niryuktis except that of Govindaniryukti. Some are of the opinion that these Niryuktis are composed by Bhadrabahu-I (c. 3rd B.C.) while others consider these to be composed by Bhadrabahu-II, the brother of Varahamihira (c. 6th A.D.). But in my humble opinion, as

________________ 194 external and internal evidences show, it was neither composed by Bhadrabahu-I nor by Bhadrabahu-II. Aryabhadra of c. 2nd - 3rd A.D., in all probability, was the author of these Niryuktis. I have given various reasons in support of this view in my independent article published in Sagara Jaina Vidyabharati series (published by Parsvanatha Vidyapitha, Varanasi, 1994). Presently, we have only the following Niryuktis: 1. Avasyakaniryukti 2. Dasavaikalikaniryukti 3. Uttaradhyayananiryukti 4. Acaranganiryukti 5. Sutrakstanganiryukti 6. Dasasrutaskandhaniryukti 7. Kalpaniryukti and 8. Vyavaharaniryukti. Apart from these, two more Niryuktis---Ogha and Pinda are also available, but considered to be tile part of Avasyakapiryukti and Dasavaikalikaniryukti, respectively, they are not independent works. We also have a mention of two more Niryuktis on Suryaprajnapti and Rsibhasita, but they are extinct now. Thus, more than hundred works could be considered belonging to this early period but about thirty of them are now extinct. Jaina Commentary of Agamas 1.Agamas and their Commentaries As mentioned earlier, except Nandisutra and present edition of Prasnavyakarana, most of the Agamas were composed before c. 3rd A.D. but their final editing was done only in the c. 5th A.D. At the time of this final editing, interpolation of many later developed philosophical concepts and informations regarding the Jaina order crept into these works. The Nandisutra, composed during this period, deals with the Jaina theory of five-fold knowledge as well as contains

________________ Jaina Canonical Literature : 195 its later developments which took place inc. 4th-5th A.D. Similarly, the drastic changes in the original subject matter of Prasnavyakarana and partial changes in Antakrtdasa and Anuttaraupapatikadasa also occurred during this period. Almost all the Prakrit and some of the early Sanskrit commentaries on the Jaina Agamas were written in this period, in form of Niryuktis (c. 31d-4" A.D.), Bhasyas (c. 6th A.D, ) and Curnis (c. 71h A.D. ). This period is of great literary importance because majority of the agamic works were finally edited and some of them were even composed also in this period. Besides these Niryuktis, Oghaniryukti and Pindaniryukti are also available but Oghaniryukti is considered as the part of Avasyakaniryukti ana Pindaniryukti as the part of Dasavaikalikaniryukti, hence they are not independent work. Though Niryuktis on Suryaprajnapti and Rsibhasita are referred to in Avasyakaniryukti (verse 85) but at present these two are not available. The Nisithaniryukti, considered as the part of Acararganiryukti, is mixed with its Bhasya. All these Niryuktis are written in Prakrit verses and deal very precisely contents of their respective Agamas. After Niryuktis, Bhasya on agamic texts were composed in c. 5th-61h A.D. The Bhasyas are more exhaustive and elaborate than those of Niryuktis. They were also composed in Prakrit verses. Bhasyas are quite prolific in their contents referring to various concepts of Jaina philosophy and the code of the conduct for monks and nuns with their exceptions and punishments. Among Bhasyas, Visesavasyakabhasya is the most important. It is the first work of Svetambara tradition, dealing with the problems of Jaina philosophy with minute details. The concept of five-fold knowledge has been discussed elaborately with a critical approach herein. Among various proofs given for the existence of soul, one bears similarity to that of Rene Descartes (c. 16th A.D.), a Western philosopher, proving the existence of soul through doubt itself. In Visesavasyakabhasya, various contrary views of Jaina acaryas are mentioned and reviewed along with the views of some rebellious

It also deals with the differences of Svetambara and Digambara traditions regarding the successiveness and simultaneity of Kevalajnana and Kevaladarsana as well as the problem of nakedness of the monk with full details. Other bhasyas mainly deal with the ethical code of conduct of ascetics with their exceptions and the conditions in which these exceptions could be followed along with their atonements. The bhasyas, dealing with the code of conduct of monks are Dasavaikalikabhasya, Uttaradhyayanabhasya, Brhatkalpabhasya, Vyavahara-bhasya, Nisithabhasya and Jitakalpabhasya. Some of the bhasyas also contain some informations of historical importance. As the author of the bhasya, we have only two names: Jinabhadragani and Sanghadasagani. Jinabhadragani is the author of Visesavasyakabhasya while Sanghadasagani is the author of Brhatkalpa, Vyavahara and Nisithabhasya. Of these two Sanghadasagani is supposed to be senior to Jinabhadra, because Jinabhadra, in his work Visesanavati has referred to the Vasudevahindi, a work authored by Sanghadasagani. The period of Jinabhadra is undoubtedly the latter half c. 6th A.D. As Sanghadasagani was senior to Jinabhadragani, it leaves no room for doubt that he must have flourished in second half of the c. 6th A.D. All these bhasyas are of considerable length; composed in Prakrit verses and deal with their subjects exhaustively. In the Bhasyas, we find a rich cultural data and some information about the cultural history of India. Next, the Curnis, unlike the Niryuktis and Bhasyas are written in prose. Niryuktis and Bhasyas are written in Prakrit only, while the Curnis are written in Prakrit mixed with Sanskrit. Among Curnis - Avasyaka, Dasavaikalika, Uttaradhyayana, Sutrakrtanga, Nandi are the most important. All these Curnis were written by Jinadasagani Mahattara. In Nandicurni it is clearly mentioned that this work was completed in Saka Samvat 598 corresponding to 676 A.D. It is, therefore, concluded that most of the important Curnis were written in c. 7th A.D. Some

________________ Jaina Canonical Literature : 197 Curnis viz., Dasavaikalika of Agastyasimha and Curnisutras on Kasayapahudasutta are the earlier among the Curni literature. Among whole of the commentary literature Curnis hold an important place because first, they deal with the various subjects and are directly concerned with social and cultural heritage of Jainism. Secondly, they supply so many informations about the Jaina History pertaining c. 1-6th A.D. Curnis were succeeded by Sanskrit commentaries written on different Agamic texts, known as Vrttis or Vivaranas. Among Sanskrit commentators Haribhadra Suri is the earliest, flourished in the middle of the c. 8th A.D. He wrote commentaries on Avasyaka, Dasavaikalika, Jivabhigama, Prajnapana, Nandi, Anuyogadvara and Pindaniryukti. Silankacarya, flourished in the c. 9th A.D. believed to have written several commentaries on Agamas but unfortunately at present only two commentaries on Acaranga and Sutrakrtanga, are available. After Silanka, Abhayadevasuri and Santisuri are the prominent names among commentators. Abhayadevasuri has commented upon nine of eleven Angas except Acaranga and Sutrakrtanga, hence was called Navangivrttikara. Santisuri has written a commentary on Uttaradhyayana-sutra. Both of these later Sanskrit commentators flourished, during c. 10th-11th A.D. This trend of commentary writing is still current in Svetambara tradition. In Digambara tradition, Kasayapahuda and Satkhandagama are considered as equivalent to agamas. These works are written in c. 4th 5th A.D. On Kasayapahuda, first commentary was written by Yativrsabha in the form of Curni-sutras in c. 6th A.D. After that in c. 9th A.D. Virasena wrote two commentaries--. Jayadhavala and Dhavala on Kasayapahuda and Satkhandagama respectively. Mahadhavala is a commentary on the one part of Satkhandagama, written by his disciple Jinasena. These commentaries mainly deal with Jaina philosophy in general and Karma theory in particular. *

________________ An investigation of the earlier subject matter of Prasnavyakarana Sutra Both, the Svetambaras and Digambara traditions agree that Prasnavyakarana is the tenth Anga of Jaina Agamic literature. However, the Digambara tradition believes that the Anga literature has become completely extinct. For Svetambara tradition it is very much available and has got important place among the Jaina canons even today. Now, if it is available, a vital question arises whether the subject matter of the present Prasnavyakarana is identical to the descriptions found in other Svetambara canonical texts or it has undergone transformation. The earlier references regarding the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana are traced in Sthananga, Samavayanga, Anuyogadvara, Nandi-sutra and Nandicurni of Svetambara tradition and Rajavartika, Dhavala and Jayadhavala of Digambara tradition. Out of these texts, Sthananga and Samavayanga have been assigned to c. 30_44" AD, Nandi about c. 4th_514 AD, Rajavartika to c. 8th whereas Dhavala and Jayadhavala are assigned to 10h century A.D. Nomenclature as 'Prasnavyakarana' The ancient commentators and scholars of Jaina Agamas hold that because it deals with the answer to the questions, it was named as 'Prasnavyakarana'. In my opinion, the subject matter of the carliest edition of Prasnavyakarana was neither in the question answer form nor it was in any way related to the occult sciences (Nimitta-sastra). The composition of Agamic texts in the style of teacher-disciple dialogue i.e. in question answer form is a later event. Bhagavati, also krown as Vyakhyaprajnapti is its first example. Though, Samavayanga and Nandisutra maintain that Prasnavyakarana contains answers to 108 questions asked, 108 questions not-asked, 108

________________ An investigation of the earlier subject matter of ... ; 199 questions partly asked and partly not-asked', but this conception seems to be fabricated only. On the nomenclature of the text, no cogent evidence is available supporting the contention that the earliest subject matter of Prasnavyakarana existed in the form of questions and their explanations or even related to occult sciences as maintained by Samavayarga and Nandisutra. No doubt, a tradition of dividing the texts into Prasnas was very much in vogue in ancient times. Its most outstanding example is Dharmasutra of Apasthamba where the subject matter of text has been divided in two prasnas. Thus the parts of the book were called prasnas. There are 11 patalas in the first Prasna and 11 patalas in the second Prasna. Though the entire text has no question-answer form. The subject matter of Dharmasutra of Baudhayana is also divided into prasnas. Hence it would not be appropriate to hold that due to being related to the occult sciences the text was given the name as Pras'navyakarana. Earlier it was named as Vagarana-gantha (vyakarana-grantha). It has been mentioned by the same name in Rsibhasita.? The subject matter of Prasnavyakarana The subject matter of Prasnavyakarana is undoubtedly different as mentioned in other texts. It is worth consideration as to how this transformation took place. If we go through the available references related to the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana keeping the chronological order in mind, the reason behind the changes in the subject matter comes clearer. (A) Sthananga The earliest reference regarding the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana is found in the Sthananga-sutra'. Here Prasnavyakarana is enumerated in ten Dasas with following ten chapters: (1) Upama (2) Samkhya (3) Rsibhasita (4) Acaryabhasita (5) Mahavirabhasita (6) Ksobhikaprasna (7) Komalaprasna (8) Adarsaprasna (9) Angustharprasna and (10) Bahuprasna.
Page #209
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 200 (B) Samavayanga Samavayanga is the next Agama alter Sthananga where an elaborate description of the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana is found. It has been specifically mentioned in Samavayanga with reference to the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana that it explains 108 prasnas (asked questions), 108 aprasnas (unasked questions) and miracles of 108 prasnaprasnas (partly asked and partly unasked questions) along with beautiful discourses of Suparnas with Nagakumaras. It also deals with various occult sciences. This Prasnavyakarana is stated by Pratyekabuddhas possessing the knowledge of Jaina doctrines and the doctrines of other faiths and speaking the language equipped with manifold meanings. It is clearly described by the Acaryas who were the bearers of miraculous virtues, tranquility of mind and perennial sources of knowledge for the welfare of the world. It contains a description of the spell of occult sciences through the medium of mirror, arm, sword, jewel, cloth and sun. There are certain references found in it regarding Mahaprasnavidya, Manaprasnavidya, Devaprayoga, etc. It mentions the sayings of Jina endowed with the qualities of increasing virtues of all beings and minimising their vices, astonishing the minds of men, keeping men stationed in the preachings of omniscient Tirthankaras permeated with miracles, knowing the peculiarity of the occasion and serene tranquility providing enlightenment to the unenlightened and misled, explaining matter difficult to study and comprehend ordained and specific meanings. The readings of Prasnavyakarana are limited and it has innumerable anuyogadvaras, pratipattis, vedas, niryuktis and sangrahanis. Prasnavyakarana is the tenth Anga in the order of Angas and contains one Srutaskandha, forty-five uddesana-kala and fortyfive sammudesaka-kalas. It has been aptly described to contain lacks of verses in terms of counting verses. According to this Anga, the soul is the only knower. With the presentation of conduct and dispositions, the concept of the object is defined in this text.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ An investigation of the earlier subject matter of ... : 201 (C) Nandisutra The references regarding the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana in Nandisatra is simply a summarized account of Samavayanga. The ideas and language are almost identical. The only specialty of the text is that it refers forty-five adhyayanas of Prasnavyakarana whereas Samavayanga refers forty-five samuddesana-kalas. There is no mention of forty-five adhyayanas of Prasnavyakarana in Nandisutra'. (D) Tattvarthavartika Tattvarthavartika defines the term Prasnavyakarana as explanation of questions by raising objections, and their removal through cogent explanations from various viewpoints and thereby determining the meaning of classical and Vedic terms". (E) Dhavala The subject matter of Prasnavyakarana as revealed in Dhavala slightly differs in content from that of Tattvarthavartika. Dhavala refers to four types of tales i.e. Aksepani, Viksepani, Samvedani and Nirvedans found in Prasnavyakarana. It also mentions that Aksepani type tales propound the theory of six existences (Dravyas) and nine categories (tattvas) after refuting the doctrines of others, (para-samaya). The Viksepani tales establish self-doctrine after removing the objections raised by others. Samvedani is a tale of virtue (Punya) or meritorious deeds, which contains a description of the prosperity of Tirtharkaras, Ganadharas, Rsis, Cakravartins etc. Nirvedani tales narrate the results of sin or de-meritorious deeds. It gives a graphic description of worldly sorrows like hell, animal life, decease, old age and death etc. It also states that Prasnavyakarana describes destruction, anxiety, gain, loss, happiness, sorrow, birth, death, name object, substance, age and number on the basis of questions?. Thus we can say that there is no similarity regarding the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana in the ancient Jaina Agamic texts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 202 A critic of the available descriptions of the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana In my opinion there have been three possible editions of the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana. Rsibhasita, Acaryabhasita and Mahavirabhasita would have been the main subject matter in the first and earliest sacrament which was designated as 'Vagarana'. There is a reference indicating the similarity of the subject matter of Vagarana (Vyakarana) with Rsibhasita. It proves its very existence in the ancient period (3rd or 4th century B.C) and the relationship between Prasnavyakarana and Rsibhasita. In Sthananga-sutra, Prasnavyakaranais classified under tenth chapter (dasas). This classification probably was made before the conception of eleven Argas or twelve Ganipitakas. The five TextsUpasakadasa, Antakrtadasa, Prasnavyakaranadasa, Anuttaraupapatikadasaand Vipakadasa of the Agamic literature were counted in ten Dasas. Out of these Dasas, putting aside the aforesaid five and Acaradasa known at present as Dasasrutaskandha, the rest four Bandhadasa, Dvigrddhidasa, Dirghadasa and Sarksepadasa are not available. It is noteworthy that out of the available six Dasas the subject matter of Upasakadasa and Ayaradasa is almost identical with the available subject matter as given in Sthanarga. There are certain similarities and dissimilarities regarding subject matter of Karmavipaka and Anuttaraupapatikadasa, whereas the subject matter of Prasnavyakaranadasa has undergone complete transformation. The subject matter as indicated in Sthanangaseems to be the oldest edition for we do not find any sign of interpolation of matter on occult sciences in its contents. In my opinion out of the ten chapters of Prasnavyakarana as indicated in Sthananga, only Isibhasiyaim, Ayariyabhasiyaim and Mahavirabhasiyaim seem to be ancient. What were the contents of Uvamaand Samkha, is not ascertained. However, I particularly feel that the knowledge pertaining to the Jaina religion would have been preached through some allegories in "Uvama Because in Jnatadharmakatha it has been explained through the allegories of

________________ An investigation of the earlier subject matter of ... : 203 Karma and eggs saying that one who does not control over his senses has to suffer and one who enters meditation with flickering mind does not attain the desired fruits. In the same manner, in Samkha, there might be some matter based on equal number described in Sthananga' and Samavayanga. However, there is a possibility that the chapter entitled Samkha was related with Samkhya system of Indian philosophy. Because, the text was very generous in presenting the thoughts of other traditions as well. It is noteworthy that in ancient times Samkhya philosophy belonged to the Sramanic current having proximity to the Jaina philosophy. It seems that chapters like Addagapasiaim, Bahupasiaim were not related to occult sciences but they were related to the Rsis named Adraka and Bahuka engaged in philosophical discussions. The commentators of Addagapasinaim have used the term 'Adarsaprasna' as a Sanskrit variant of it, which is not correct. The correct Sanskrit variant for Addagapasinaim should be Adrakaprasna. The reference regarding questions and explanations with Adraka is found in Sutrakritanga as well as in Rsibhasita where two chapters named Addaena (Adraka) and Bahu (Bahuka) are mentioned. There is possibility of the existence of two Rsis -Komala and Khomakshobha at that time. Rsibhasita clearly mentions about Soma. Even then if we adhere to accept that those chapters were related to occult sciences, we have to admit that it was a later addition in it for in beginning it was absent. It is to be remembered that the study of occult sciences was prohibited for the Jaina monks in the ancient times for it was regarded as a Sruta tainted with sin." The references regarding Prasnavyakarana found in both Sthananga and Samavayanga do not belong to the same period. The references of Samavayanga are later because the description related to occult sciences is vast though the original facts are procured. The Sthananga mentions about the ten chapters of Prasnavyakarana whereas Samavayanga informs about its 45 chapters. It gives no information about "Uvama" and Samkha", the preliminary two chapters described in Sthananga. It is quite possible that the matter

________________ 204 of "Uvama was placed in Inatadharmakatha and 'Samkha' being related with numbers was included in Sthananga and Samavayanga. Komalapasinais is also not mentioned there. The aforesaid three names are replaced by three new names i.e. 'Asi 'Mani and Aditya. Samavayanga account clearly shows that the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana was full of the various kinds of occult sciences. There it has been asserted that after getting extinct the three chapters viz., Isibhasiyaim, Ayariyabhasiyaim and Mahavirbhasiyaim the description of occult sciences is given. In fact, the description of Samavayanga' indicates the existence of any other revised edition of Prasnavyakarana in which after the adding an elaborate description of occult sciences, portions of Pratyekabuddhabhasita (Rsibhasita), Acaryabhasita and Virabhasita (Mahavirabhasita) were separated and it had become purely a text of occult sciences. To make it more authentic it was told that it contains the wordings sayings of Pratyekabuddhas, Acaryas and Mahavira. The description about subject matter of Prasnavyakarana available in Tattvarthavartika informs only this much that the author had no copy of Prasnavyakarana before him. The description given by him is totally imaginary. The stray references about occult sciences available in Dhavala indicate that the author would have received it from the Svetambara or Yapaniya tradition. It also raises question mark about the existence of any such edition of Dhavala. I personally feel that the portion pertaining to occult sciences was added first in Prasnavyakarana and then the portion of Rsibhasita was separated. Between the period of inclusion and exclusion, the same subject matter was retained parallel. The reference about ten chapters of Prasnavyakarana found in Sthananga, forty-five uddesanakalas in Samavayanga and forty-five adhyayanas in Nandi-sutra are not merely by chance but it shows the resemblance of Rsibhasita and Prasnavyakarana. There has been a valid reason behind ten chapters of present Prasnavyakarana. Definitely it would have been done to

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ An investigation of the earlier subject matter of ... i 205 mark the early description of Sthananga. There are only two options to resolve the controversy of ten and forty-five. Firstly, it is possible that the ancient edition of Prasnavyakarana was containing ten chapters and the chapter of Rsibhasita was divided in forty-five uddesakas or the original Prasnavyakarana had forty-five chapters of present Rsibhasita because along with Rsibhasita, Mahavirabhasita and Acaryabhasita were already incorporated in it. It is also possible that some chapters out of the forty-five chapters of Rsibhasita might have been classified in the form of uddesakas within Rsibhasita, some in Acaryabhasita and some in Mahavirabhasita. It is significant that Samavayanga clearly mentions forty-five uddesakas instead of forty-five adhyayanas but it is likely that after its separation from Prasnavyakarana, it might have been placed in the form of forty-five chapters within a single text. There remains one more important question that Samavayanga refers forty-four chapters of Rsibhasita whereas present Rsibhasita has forty-five chapters"". Was the adhyayana named Vardhamana not included there in earlier? Because no chapter of this name was included there in. One cannot definitely say whether it was not counted in Mahavirabhasita or there were some other cogent reason behind it. It is significant that the chapter entitled "Utkatavadi" bears no information about any Rsi, besides it propounds doctrines of Carvaka. May be due to this reason it was not accepted in Rsibhasita. There exists an important point of distinction between the original readings of Samavayanga and Nandisutra. Nandisutra' clearly refers to forty-five adhyayanas in Prasnavyakarana whereas Samavayanga refers forty-five uddesanakalas. It is possible that the term uddesaka was in vogue up to the time of Samavayanga and later on they were given new names of adhyayanas. Had it been popular to write adhyayanas by the period of Samavayanga, definitely it would have been mentioned by Samavayanga because there appears a clear reference to adhyayanas in context of the discussion regarding other Anga Agamas. It is a vital question whether was there really any Prasnavyakarana composed with the subject like occult sciences or just

________________ 206 imaginary. No doubt the number of verses of Prasnavyakarana mentioned by Samavayarga, Nandicurni and Dhavala, are nothing more than imagination. Although Samavayanga and Nandisutra do not furnish the definite figures of verses but Nandicurni and Samavayanga-vittiprovide us figures of its verses as 9216000 followed by Dhavala'), which refers to this figure as 9316000. Both the figures appear to be imaginary only. In this regard, my contention is that the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana as referred by Sthananga, Samavayanga, Nandi, Tattvartha-rajavartika, Dhavala, and Jayadhavala may not be total imaginary but certainly it was lacking truth. In this context, we will have to reconsider the meaning of 'addagangutthabahuasimani khoma-aiccabhasiyanam'4 from the original reading of Samavayarga as to whether Addaga, Angustha, Bahu, Asi, Mani, Khoma, and Aditya were real personage or just imaginary because then there will be no meaning of saying' it was stated by them". While reviewing the description of Sthananga, I had expressed the possibility that Addaga-Adraka, Bahu-Bahuka, Khoma-Soma were Rsis on the very ground that they are mentioned by Rsibhasita. There exists a possibility that Aditya can also be the name of any Rsi. Only three names viz. Angustha, Asi and Mani are such names, which have less possibility of being any individual. The result of this entire discussion leads us to the conclusion that the subject matter of Rsibhasita has been undergoing changes from time to time. Is the ancient subject matter of Prasnavyakarana secured? Here it is also an important point of discussion whether the subject matter of first and second editions of Prasnavyakarana have been entirely destroyed or is it secured fully or partially. In my opinion, the matter contained in the first edition of Prasnavyakarana named Rsibhasita, Acaryabhasita and
Page #216
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ An investigation of the earlier subject matter of ... ; 207 Mahavirabhasita is substantially secured even today in Rsibhasita, Jnatadharmakatha, Sutrakritanga and Uttaradhyayana. It seems that after separating the matter from the aforesaid works before the Christian era, the content was preserved in the form of an independent text named Isibhasiyaim. It has been a common practice in Jaina tradition that new matter had either been added in the form of cula or Culika or a new treatise was formed taking out matter from any other work. For example, formerly Nisitha was added as cula of Acararga but later on it was separated from it and formed a new text entitled "Nisitha. Similarly, a new text entitled Kalpasutra was formed from the eighth chapter (Paryusana-kalpa) of Ayaradasa (Dasasrutaskandha). Hence, there is no objection in maintaining that in the beginning, the chapters of Isibhasiyaim might have been added to Prasnavyakarana and then separating the matter from there, an independent text named Isibhasiyaim was formed. This statement of mine is not baseless but has certain grounds. Firstly, there is similarity in the two names, secondly there is a clear reference appearing also in Samavayanga that the Prasnavyakarana contains the sayings of Pratyekabuddhas who were propounder of their own philosophy and critique of other systems of philosophy. (Panhavagaranadasasunam sasamaya-parasamaya pannavaya-patteyabuddha ... bhasiyainam.'s It is said regarding Isibhasiyaim that it contains the sayings of Pratyekabuddhas. Samavayanga by referring 'sa-samaya-para-samaya pannavaya patteyahuddha'declares that Pratyekabuddhas do not belong to Jaina tradition only but also to other traditions. The chapters concerning Mankhaligosala, Devanarada, Asitadevala, Yagyavalkya, and Uddalaka in Isibhasiyaim, also confirm this fact. In my opinion, the oldest major portion of Pras'navyakarana even at present is quite secured in Isibhasiyaim, and some portions are preserved in the form of few chapters of Sutraksitanga, Jnatadharmakatha and Uttaradhyayana. The subject matter contained in Tettaliputra chapter of Rsibhasita is available intact in the 14th chapter named Tettaliputra of Jnatadharmakatha.
Page #217
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 208 : It can be confirmed on various grounds that several chapters of Uttaradhyayana formed parts of Prasnavyakarana. The very name of Uttaradhyayana itself indicates the fact that this text has been constituted out of the Uttara-adhyayanas of some earlier text. It implies that its subject matter must have been later part of any other text. The 4th verse of Uttaradhyayana-niryukti confirms that some parts of Uttaradhyayana have been adapted from the Anga literature. The real purport of this gatha of Uttaradhyayana-niryukti is that some adhyayanas consisting of the discussion about bondage and liberation held between Jinabhasita and Pratyekabuddha have been taken from Anga texts. This statement of the author of Niryuktis throws light mainly on three points. Firstly, some of the adhyayanas out of the thirty-six adhyayanas of Uttaradhyayana are stated to be Jinabhasita (Mahavirabhasita). Secondly, some of them are put in the form of conversation of Pratyekabuddhas and thirdly, they have been taken from Anga literature. Naturally the question arises as to which was the Anga these parts of Uttaradhyayana were taken from. Some of the Acaryas have inferred that the chapters dealing with afflictions etc. have been taken from Drstivada but I don't subscribe to their view, which has got no base. The very subject matter would have been taken from the text containing the subject matter of Mahavirabhasita and Pratyekabuddha-bhasita. It was only Pras'navyakarana, which could have such type of subject matter, and hence it would have been taken from this very text only. There is no controversy in accepting that some chapters of Uttaradhyayana are the noble sayings of Mahavira. Even if we accept that the 30th adhyayana of Uttaradhyayana and the gatha given at the end which is said to be Mahavira-bhasita is later addition and interpolation, the 24th gatha of chapter 181h of the same text, which is similar to this gatha in content and antiquity from the language point of view, cannot be said to be interpolated. It proves also that many chapters of Uttaradhyayana have been the part of Prasnavyakarana earlier. If we look at the speakers of the chapters of Uttaradhyayana, we find the chapters like
Page #218

________________ An investigation of the earlier subject matter of ... Namipavvaja, Kapiliya, and Sanjayiya etc. containing discussion of Pratyekabuddhas. Whereas some chapters like Vinayasutta, Parisahavibhakti, Samskrta, Akamamaraniya, Chullaka-nirgranthiya, Dumpatraka, Bahusrutapuja etc. are definitely Mahavirabhasita. Some of the chapters like Kesi-Gautamiya and Gaddamiya can be said as Acaryabhasita. Therefore, it is beyond any doubt that from the old redaction of Prasnavyakarana, several chapters of Uttaradhyayana have been formed. : 209 It is noteworthy that Uttaradhyayana has not been mentioned at all anywhere in Sthananga though it has been mentioned in Samavayanga and Nandi. As indicated earlier, Sthananga is the only text, which denotes the most ancient form of the Jaina literature. In my opinion, before Sthananga, Uttaradhyayana was not existent as an independent text but was a supplementary to the Pras'navyakarana. The acceptance of Uttaradhyayana as Mahavirabhasita cannot be proved unless we consider it as subsidiary to Pras'navyakarana. While describing the subject matter of Uttaradhyayana, it is said that Mahavira attained liberation when he was describing the 37th adhyayana named pradhana after delivering sermon about 36 notasked questions (aprsta). While describing the subject matter of Pras'navyakarana, it is said that it contains the asked, unasked and partially asked and partially unasked questions. It also proves the resemblance of Pras'navyakarana and Uttaradhyayana, which tells about the unasked questions and its explanation. Haribhadra (8th century AD) maintains in his Vritti of Avasyaka-niryukti that Rsibhasita and Uttaradhyayana are one and the same. Jaina Acaryas even up to 13th century AD believed that Rsibhasita was merged in Uttaradhyayana. Vidhimargaprapa of Jinaprabhasuri clearly mentions that according to some Acaryas, Rsibhasita was blend together with Uttaradhyayana. If we accept Uttaradhyayana and Rsibhasita as one and integrated, we must consider former as first part and later as the last.

________________ 210 We have already discussed the most ancient first redaction of Prasnavyakarana. Now we have to consider as to what can be the position of the astrologically dominated second edition of Prasnavyakarana? Is it preserved in some form or other? As for as the existence of the second edition of Prasnavyakarana related with occult sciences is concerned, in my opinion it has also not become extinct, the only thing that has happened is simply that after its separation from Prasnavyakarana, it was replaced by a new subject matter solely concerned with influx of Karmas (Asrava) and stoppage of influx of Karmas (Samvara). Muni Jinavijayaji has published a text named 'Prasnavyakaranakhya Jayapayada' in Samvat 2015 in Singhi Granthamala text series No. 43. This text has been published on the basis of an ancient manuscript of palm leave, which was received from the Jaisalmer Jnanabhandara of Acaryasakha of Khartaragaccha dated Vikram era 1336. The original text is in Prakrit language consisting of 378 gathas. Besides, there is also a Sanskrit tika on the aforesaid text available in the library of Parsvanatha Vidyapeeth, Varanasi. The subject matter of this text is occult science. Jinaratnakosa also refers a text named Jayapahuda Prasnavyakarana" containing only 228 verses, available at the Santinatha Bhandara, Khambhat. Similarly, Maharaja Nepal also informs us about the availability of Prasnavyakarana in his Royal library. According to information received from Shri Agarchandaji Nahta, the copy of the text has been received by Yuvacarya Munishri Nathmalji of the Terapantha Dharma Samgha. A photocopy of this text was donated to Parswanath Vidyapeeth by late Sri Joharimalji Parekh, Ravati, Jodhpur. It could not be studied thoroughly but looking from the comparative point of view, the original gathas are similar to the text published under the Singhi Jaina Grnathamala, though its commentary is different. A copy of this text has also been received form L.D. Institute of Indology, Ahmedabad. The Patana Jnana Bhandara informs regarding the availability of this text. This

________________ An investigation of the earlier subject matter of ... : 211 text is available with its Cudamani-tika containing 2300 verses in number. This copy may be the ancient one'? These grounds confirm that the edition of Prasnavyakarana having the subject matter of occult sciences has not become quite extinct rather it is preserved after being separated from Prasnavyakarana. If one compares the subject matter of all these texts with the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana available in Samavayanga, Nandisutra and Dhavala, he could definitely be able to find out whether the available different Prasnavyakaranas are the part of the second redaction of Prasnavyakarana or other than that. It is also possible that at the time when Samavayanga and Nandisutra were composed, there were many texts famous with the name of Prasnavyakarana on account of their difference in recitation (vacana. bheda) and the subject matter of all those text was incorporated in. This contention is also based on the assumption that the plural words like 'vagaranagantha' and 'panhavagaranaim' are used frequently in Rsibhasita, Samavayanga, Nandi and Anuyogadvara. To this it can be inferred that during this period several Prasnavyakaranas were available due to difference in readings and recitations. The procurement of palm leave copies of manuscripts of Pras'navyakaranas along with its Tikain Sanskrit, confirms that these works were existent in 4h-5ih century AD because in 91h-10h century AD the tikas were said to be composed on these works. Possibly, the matter regarding occult sciences might have been added to Prasnavyakarana near about 2nd - 3rd century A.D. and then the part entitled Rsibhasita might have been separated from it and made specifically a text of occult sciences. Again, this portion concerning occult sciences was separated near about 7th century and replaced by the existent edition containing ten chapters -five dealing with Asrava (influx of Karmas) and five with Samvara (stoppage of influx of Karmas). As I have already stated that two previous editions of Prasnavyakarana might have been separated from it but their

The proofs regarding the identical subject matter of Prasnavyakarana and Rsibhasita The most valuable proof of the identical subject matters of Rsibhasita and ancient Prasnavyakarana can be obtained from 31", Parsva adhyayanaof Rsibhasita, which contains the serious discussion of philosophical concepts of Parsva. In this context the learned author of Rsibhasita has clearly mentioned that the second variants of this chapter, which is already counted in the grammar-type texts, is also found. The original gatha reads as follows: "vagaranaganthao pabhiti samittam imam ajjhayanas tava imo bio padho dissati //18 It means that the subject matter of Rsibhasita was also incorporated in Pras'navyakarana. At a point of time the subject matter of both Pras'navyakarana and Rsibhasita was almost identical with a few variants. Hence it is proved without any controversy that the subject matter of ancient Pras'navyakarana is existent in the present Rsibhasita. Besides, it is also proved that the philosophical discourses and preachings of the Arhat Rsis like Parsva etc. were implicit in the original Pras'navyakarana. The partial similarity of the subject matters of Prasnavyakarana and Jayapayada The subject matter of 'Prasnavyakaranakhya jayapayada" as referred is closely related to occult sciences. The author has advocated the similarity of the subject matter of both-Pras'navyakarana and Jayapayada by referring the 314 verse of the text, which reads as 'panham jayapayalam voccham"9. While clarifying the subject matter of the text in the commentary of this verse, it is said that it describes

________________ An investigation of the earlier subject matter of ... : 213 the questions related to 'nastamusticintalabhalabhasukhaduhkhajivanamarana', etc. This description is very much similar to the description of the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana given by Dhavala". There are certain chapters like musti-vibhaga, nastikacakra, sankhya-pramana, labha-prakarana, etc. discussed in the text, which partially resembles in content with the subject matter of Prasnavyakarana described in Samavayanga". It is unfortunate that even after its publication the learned scholars are not acquainted with this text, which is an ancient and prime text of occult sciences. The language and terms used in the text like 'payada' or 'pahuda' infer that it must have been composed around 5th century A.D. because Kasayapahuda and Pahuda-granthas (Bodha-pahuda, Sila-pahuda, etc.) of Kundakunda are the works composed a little prior to this period. The classification of subjects in Suryaprajnapti is also done in the form of Pahudas. Hence, Jayapayada may be a part of the second redaction of Prasnavyakarana but it cannot be said with certainty unless a thorough study of all the available texts bearing the names of Prasnavyakarana is done. Why the changes in the subject matter? Naturally, here arises a vital questions as to why it happened that at first the portions related to the Rsibhasita, Acaryabhasita and Mahavira-bhasita were separated and replaced by the matter related to the occult sciences and that too finally was replaced by the matter pertaining to Influx of karmas and the stoppage of influx of karmas. Why the portions of Rsibhasita etc. were removed first? In my opinion, because it contained the preachings and sayings of Rsis belonging to non-Jaina tradition it was removed first. The account available in Samavayanga pertaining to Prasnavyakarana also confirms this contention. There it is clearly told that Mahaprasnavidya, Manaprasnavidya, and Devaprayaga etc. have been coined in order to establish people in Jinavacana and to ensure their firmness in the sayings of Omniscient Jina. Although it is surprising that the knowledge of

________________ 214 occult sciences, which was considered as Papa-sruta, was included in the primary canons to promote the interest of non-Jains in Jaina order. But looking into its misuse and possible diversion of ascetics class from their meditation and sadhana to the practice of occult sciences, it was deemed proper to separate the account attached to these sciences and to replace them by the description of five gates of Asrava (influx of Karma) and five gates of samvara (stoppage of influx of Karma) in the text. The great commentators of Prasnavyakarana like Abhayadeva and Jnanavimala have also concurred with this view for the vital change in its subject matter22. It is a question worth consideration as to when the ancient subject matter of Prasnavyakarana was separated from it. Abhayadevasuri, in his learned commentaries on Sthananga and Samavayanga have clearly mentioned that the subject matter contained in these text is not available is present Prasnavyakarana". Not only that, he had also written commentaries only on the existent Pras'navyakarana consisting of ten chapters - first five dealing with Asrava (influx of karmas) and the last five giving an account of Samvara (stoppage of the influx of karmas). Hence, the minimum period for the existent edition should be fixed prior to 1080 A.D. The account of the subject including problem of one or two srutaskandhas furnished by Abhayadevasuri also informs us that before commentary of Abhayadevasuri there was one more commentary written on the present edition of Prasnavyakarana in Prakrit. That period should be two three centuries prior to Abhayadeva i.e. near about 8th century A.D. Besides, Acarya Jinadasagani Mahattara had completed his curni on Nandisutra in Saka era 598 or 676 A.D24. He had provided clear indication regarding the interpretation and explanation of five samvara etc. It proves that before 676 A.D. the Prasnavyakarana with the description of five Asrava and Samvaradvara was existent25. Thus, active period for composition of present Pras'navyakarana can be fixed later than 6th century A.D.

________________ An investigation of the earlier subject matter of ... : 215 To conclude, it can be maintained that the Prasnavyakarana containing the subject matter similar to the subject matter of Rsibhasita, is the oldest edition most probably composed in 3rd century BC. Then in 2nd 3rd century A.D. the matter pertaining to occult sciences were included to it as informed by Sthananga. After that, parts like Rsibhasita etc. were separated from it in 4th century A.D., and was transformed into a text of occult sciences as proved by Samavayarga. According to Agamic literature during this period several texts were in existence with different readings bearing the nomenclature of "Prasnavyakarana'. The present edition of Pras'navyakarana with the description of influx and stoppage of Karmic matter came into existence only in 6ih century AD. As regards the two extinct editions of Prasnavyakarana, the maximum portion of the first edition though with some alterations is included in available Rsibhasita, Uttaradhyayana, Sutraksitanga and Jnatadharmakatha. The second edition related to occult sciences could be traced in available Jayapahuda and Pras'navyakarana. I hope scholars will undertake a serious research to facilitate the subject matter of Pras'navyakarana more precisely. References: 1. Samavayanga-sutra, 546 2.
