Many questions arise in our mind about our life, life of otliers, the world, the Universe at large, and so on. These problems are still not solved to our entire satisfaction. Philosophy is an attempt at their solution. Jainism, according to the ancient tradition of the Jainas, has been existing from times immemorial. The chief propounders of the Jaina Religion are known as Jinas as they have conquered all their internal enemies existing in all Samsari Jivas ( worldly beings ) in the form of various passions and worldly desires, and known also, as Tirthankaras as they have established a System of Religion for the welfare of the masses. Numerous Tirthankaras have existed in ancient times, During the present Avarsarpini era, Bhagavana Sri Rigabhadeva Swami was the first Tirthankara of the present series of twenty-four Tirthankaras, and sramana Bhagavana Mahavira, Swami was the last. The existing Canonical Literature of the Jainas had been composed by the Gasadharas (Chief disciples) of Sramaya Bhagavana Mahavira and the learned Acaryas who have followed them. The word "Jiva" comes from the root Jiv to live, and thus means "One that lives, i. e. to say, a living being." As Sankara, the great propounder of the Advaita Philosophy, puts it, distinguished from the Paramatman or the Supreme Soul, Page #7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ "Jiva" is an embodied soul, i. e., a soul limited by the body, the mind, and the like. Thus, Jiva' is a general term which can be used for all the beings that possess vital airs or who live the beings ranging from the so-called gods to the insignificant insects and the different types of vegetables Some philosophers contend that the Jiva or the individual soul is merely an ansa or a part and parcel of the Highest Soul; some maintain that it is quite distinct from the Supreme Being. All the activities on the part of a jiva are believed to be directed towards Moksa or Salvation. In the abstract sense, 'jiva' includes even the Emancipated Souls. : Body is believed to have been constituted out of the five well-known elements of Earth, Water, Wind, Light, and Sky that possess respectively the qualities of smell, taste, touch, form, and sound. It is clear that all of us fall within the category of Jivas. Naturally, we would like to know how many different types of creatures there are; we become curious about their respective possessions, duration of life, the place and manner of their living, and so on. The question as to what happens to a being after death, also crops up in our mind. Has the being to take re-birth? If so, is it in the same body or in a different one? All these questions require profound thinking. In this small treatise composed by Srt santisuri, we meet with a deep consideration of such inquiries about Jivas. Hence the name "Jiva-vicara" or "Consideration of Living Beings ". * Treatment of the subject-matter is quite scientific. A analytical survey of the subject matter runs as follows: brief The work commences with a homage to Mahavira Swamin, Then, there is Classification. The jivas are two-fold;Emancipated and Transmigratory. The latter are both Movable and Immovable. The inimovable beings are five-fold; Earth-bodied [Prthvikaya), Water-bodied [Apkaya], Fire-bodied [Tejaskaya), Wind-bodied Page #8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ [Vayukaya) and Vegetation-bodied [Vanaspatikaya] The last variety is again divided into two divisions viz Sadharana and Pratyeka The immovable beings except the Pratyeka Vanasptikayas are subtle and invisible. The mobile beings are bio-sensed, trio-sensed, four-senised and five-sensed The five-sensed-beings are four-fold; Naraka, Tiryac, Manusya and Deva There are seven types of the infernal beings (narakas) corresponding to the seven types of infernal regions (naraka prthvi] The lower animals (Tiryac] are three-fold; those moving in water. those moving on land, and those flying in the sky.. The Sthalacaras again are three-fold; Quadrupeds, creeping, and propping [bhujaparisarpa) creatures. Birds (khecaras) are four-fold; the bristlewinged, the ski-winged, those possessing folded wings, and also those possessing unfolded wings. (22) All these are either Sammurcchima or Garbhaja. The human beings are born in the Karma and Akarma-hhu. mis as also in the Antardvipas (23) The deities (devas) are then divided into four varieties; Bhavanadhipati (ten-fold) Vanmantara (eight-fold), Jyotiska (five-fold) and Vaimanika (two-fold) (24). The Siddhas or the Accomplished Ones are fifteen-fold, In this way, the varieties of the living beings are succinctly explained in the first 25 gathas. The 26th gatha makes a clear-cut distinction between the first twenty-five gathas and the rest. A new aspect starts with gatha no. 27. The bodily measure of the different types of beings is given in the succeeding seven gathas. Then, in the next five gathas, is shown the highest limit of life of different beings. In the 39th gatha, the author sums up the discussion about the bodies and the life-limits, and directs us to refer to detailed treatises for further study of jivas. Gathas 40-41 treat the question of the duration of jiyas in Page #9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ vi the same body. With gatha no 42 starts the discussion about the vital airs. Beings are divided into two types viz.-Those possessing mind and those not possessing it (43) The latter half of gatha 43, states that death is nothing but separation from vital airs. The next gatha instructs us that, those who have not accepted the Dharma (or particularly the Jaina religion) die for innumerable times." What is meant is that, one can save one-self from deaths-real and metaphorical-only by practising the Dharma. Then, the yonis or places of origination, are dealt with in three gathas. Here one may ask: What about the body, longevity, dura tion in the same body, the vital airs, and the originating places of the Emancipated or Perfect beings? Gatha 48 replies to this querry by saying that their sthiti is sadi (with a beginning), but ananta (without an end). The author concludes in gatha 49 that the mundane existence is dreadfully strimming with originations and destructions and that those who do not pay any heed to the instruction of Jinas, ramble in it for ever. Consequently, the next gatha [ 50 ] advises all to labour upon Dharma (piety). by means of rarely obtainable humanness. and righteousness. In the last gatha the author humbly declares his gratefulness to the former Great Preachers of Jaina Religion, and explains that the motive of this abridged edition, is to enlighten the shortwitted ones. It will not be out of place here, to note a few note-worthy points in the treatment of the subject. The motive of his undertaking is mentioned not in the beginning, but only at the end Another point that we notice is a sort of kramabhanga; e g.: in gatha no. 2 the jivas are divided into Mukta and Sansarin, and then in the subsequent gathas, the Samsarins are dealt Page #10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ with. The Muktas ( who are named there as Siddhas to secure a place only in the 25th gatha, at the end of the discussion of the first division. Similarly, in gatha no. 2 the Samsaring.are declared to be Trasa and Sthavara, and then, the latter type viz, the gross Sthavara] beings are considered immediately. The treatment of the trasa type of beings commences only in the 15th gatha. As an exception, however, the Sadharana and Pratyeka Vegetables are treated in their due order. Similarly, the Narakas, Tiryacs, Manusyas and Devas also, are treated in their respective order. Lastly, in gatha no. 50 the author indirectly gives his own name. One will easily notice that long before Sir J. C. Bose, who proved that vegetables possess life, Sri Santisuri includes them in the category of living beings. The name of the author is Sri Santisuri, as tells gatha no. 50 From an inscription in a Jaina temple in Ramasina, a village near Palenpur, which tells us that Santibhadrasuri of Tharapadragaccha had installed the Pratima in 1084 V. S., we come to know that the full name of our author is Santibhadra Suri* from the work itself, we can get nothing more about him. Nevertheless, we can find his glorious life-story in Tapagaccha Pattavali and Prabhavakacarita. In Anahillapura Patana, ruled in those days the great king Bhima. In the city, there was a Sresthin named Dhanadeva who hegot an excellent son called Bliima. Bhima's mother's name was Dhanasri, This Bhima was handed over to a Suri by his parents, at the preceptor's request. He was then initiated on an auspicious day and was thence named santi. This santisuri was the best poet in the council of king Blima. He had * Vide Jivavicara Irakarana edited by Sri Jaina Sreyaskara Mandala-Mehsana (fifth edition pages 4-5 Page #11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ wolt over all the great and renowned poets of the court of Malva too. On successfully editing the Tilakamanjari of Dhanapala, he was awarded by king Bhoja, the title of Vadivetala + + kathA ca dhanapAlasya derazodhyata nistuSam / vAdivetAlaviruda sarINAM pradade naH // 59 // -~-prabhAvakacaritam / Candraprabhasuri, the author of Prabhavakacarita, has narrated some marvels that our author is belived to have done. We may take one of them, as an instance Padma, the only son of a wealthy personage called Jinadeva, was bitten by a huge serpent. Every possible effort was made to remove the poison and pain; but all was in vain. When Santisuri came to learn this, he hastened to the spot and he touched the boy muttering the Mantra of Amrtatva. Forthwith the boy recovered with face beaming like a lotus t He had composed a long commentary on the Uttaradhyayana Sitra, at the end of which commentary, he declares that he belonged to Tharapadragaccha, a branch of Vadagaccha From the Tapagaccha Pattavali we can gather that with the help of Cakresvari and Padmavati, he had saved 700 families of Srimalis, having predicted the fall of Dhulikota in 1097 V. S. He expired in Kanhoda in 1111 V. S. Candrabhastiri, however, differs slightly from this. Apropos his last days he says that for twenty-five days constantly he was absorbed in meditation of Sri Nemi, knowing no hunger or thfrst or sleep or anything oi the kind. Then, he went to the place of the Vaimanika gods. According to Prabhavakacaritra the Suris worldly life came to an end on the Ninth day of the + Por detailed narrations, vide pages 216-24 of Nirnayasagara edition (1909) of Prabhavkacaritra - Part 1." the Page #12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ bright half of the month of Karttika in the year 1096 of Vikrania. * All this goes to prove that this Prakarapa might have been composed by Sri Santibhadra Suri in the latter half of the Eleventh Century V. S. Two commentaries on the Jivavicara Prakarana seem to have been composed so far. One of them is the Brhadvrtti of Pathaka Ratnakara written in 1610 V. S. The other-the Laghuvrtti-was written by Muui Ksamakalyanaji in 1785 V. S. In the present volume we have given a digest of the former. This work summarizes the details of other big treatises so as to introduce the subject to the beginner. It is hoped that the translation and the digest of Sanskrit commentary presented in this volume will be useful to the students of Jaina Philosophy. Nutan Sarva Vidyalaya Visnagar 20 : 3 : 1950 J. P.

Digest of Commentary. . In this benedictory verse, the author explains the purpose and subject matter of the work after paying due homage to sramana Bhagavan Mahavira-the Illuminatory Spirit of the Universe. The purpose of explaining the various types of Jiva is threefold viz. 1. To enlighten the ignorant .2. To attain the blessings of devout persons by relating to them the Preachings of the Omniscient, and 3. To enable the persons who hear it, to attain virakti (disgust towards worldly pleasures) by means of Right 1 satsAmApye sana dvA (1-4-1) iti bhavizyati vartamAnI, Page #19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Knowledge of Scriptures and to purify their vision leading to Absolute Knowledge, It is said, sarvoktopadezena yaH sattvAnAmanugraham / xofa g:aagai, a galzufauifsdy || 2 || 1.

Those who having acquired pure vision of Right Belief become disgusted (towards worldly pleasures) by a knowledge of True Seriptures, attain the Most Excellent State. 2. So far as the topic of discussion is concerned, the author proposes to explain in brief, the various types of Jiva (living beings) along with all its sub-divisions and varieties. The author expresses his sense of reverence forwards the past sages by saying humbly that he merely states the principles related by the former sages. Benedictory Verse of the Commentator. Before proceeding with the actual treatise on Jiva-vicara, the commentator does obeisance to Vira (Sramana Bhagavan Mahavira)-the Sun of Right Knowledge-to the Goddess of Speech and also to his own preceptor, in order that his work may be completed successfully, by giving expression to the following benedictory verse: Page #20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 5 sajjJAnabhAskaraM vIraM natthA vArNA nijaM gurumaM / kurve jIvavicArasya, kArikAM sukhabodhikAm || 1 | 1.

In a drop of unfiltered water, one can easily see under a microsocope as many as 36450 moving living beings. Water belongs to the Ap-Kayika division of Sthavara Living Bodies. The minute living animalclues that are found in a drop of un-filtered water, are not Ap-Kayika living bodies but they are two-sensed trasa (moving) living beings. By carefully filtering water, these minute two-sensed moving living bodies become greatly reduced and by boiling the water three times consecutively, they disappear, entirely and then, they do not grow and multiply in boiled water, as they do in un-filtered water Boiled water, thus, becomes a-cita or life-less, that is to say, it becomes perfectly free from these minute two-sensed living bodies. Water boiled three times, one after the other at a time, remains a-cita or free from these minute two-sensed living beings for 5 (five) prahars (fifteen (15) hours) in Summer; for four prahars 12 hours.) in Winter and for three (3) prahars (nine (9) hours) in the Rainy Season. Water thus boiled can be used for drinking purposes by Jain Sadhus for the periods mentioned above for each season without transgressing the-limit of any period of time. If a small quantity of Quick Lime is added to that quanlity of boiled water, the water remains prefectly free from these Page #43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 28 minute animalcules for 24 praliars. (72 hours). Water, thus preserved; can be used by Jaina Sadhis for other purposes. Jainas Sadhu cannot, under any circumstance touch sa-cita (full of living beings ) un-boiled water. ___ 3.

They are Paryapta and A. paryapta-Also they are divided into sub-classes on account of their varieties of colours small, taste, and touch. With one paryapta Agni Kayika bodys there are always a-samakhyata (innumerable) e-paryapta Agni-Kayika bodies. Page #45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 30 Jivas* and as such they are sa-cita * Jaina Sadhus and persons while doing the Samayika Kriya, therefore, do not allow light from these two bodies to touch their bodies. Also, if we place a lighted candle in a glass-chamber or a three-necked Wielfet Bottle from which air has been removed by an exhaust-pump, the lighted candle will be, at once, extinguished. Because a candle-flaine requires a certain quantity of air to keep it burning. Just as, human beings, and lower animals cannot live without a sufficient quantity of pure air, in the same way, fire and flame, cannot live without air. They can-exist, only if there be a sufficient quantity of air. This is a strong argument to prove that Agni-Kayika bodies possess life. Electric Light With regard to electric light, the question is whether the electric light produced by a current of electricity from powerproducing machinery, is sa-cita or a-cita ? We have electric lights in glass bulbs from which air has been removed by a special process. Glass-bulbs, from which air has been reinoved are especially necessary for the production of electric light, If air cannot be removed from these glass-bullbs, as it ought to be, there will be no light. This is not a conjectural hypothesis, but it can be readily proved by a simple scientific experment. Some persons say, that electric light is artificially made by friction, and that no sa-cita material has been used in its preparation and that it is, therefore, a cita, But this line of argumentation is not conclusive as all varieties of electricity are *In Aticara (transgression) Sutra during daily Prati-Kramana Kriya the following sentence does occur viz vija-dIvAtaNI ucjehI huiVija-diva tani ujjehi hui-meaning to say that it is a transgression if the light of Lightning, as well as, of a simple lamp fal:s on the body of persons doing the Kriya. Page #46 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 31 not a-cita. For instance, vidyut or lightning; a form of electricity produced in the sky-is sa-cita and therefore, all forms of electricity are not a-cita. The science of etectricity is of recent date and the various delevelopements in the form of Telegraphy. Telephone, Electric Trains, Wire-less, Radio etc are the products of the last century. The Sacred Books of the Jains were composed several centuries before the birth of Christian era and consequently it is but natural that there may not be any mention of any of these discoveries of the present age, in those writings. But it must be said to the credit of the Jaina Sages that numerous centuries before the advent of the present scientific age, they were able to recognize vidyut-lightning as a form of electricity and knowing it to be sa cita by their omniscient knowledge, they thought it fit to be avoided by Jaina Sadhus, and by persons who were in Samayika Kriya. The theory that electric light being made artificially from materials which are not sa-cita, is a-cita, is a wrong hypothesis. Others argue that electric light is sa-cita because it is hot to touch. They go with the wrong hypothesis that all hot objects are sa-Cita. With heat they combine sa-citata. If their hypothesis correct, it will be practically impossible for Jaina Sadhus to touch boiled water, hot milk, or heated articles of food material. Also, they cannot be allowed the use of hot-water-bag or heated brick for fomentation. They cannot use these articles if they are sa-cita. The theory that hot articles are sa-cita, does not hold good Jaina Sages are of opinion. that electric light is sa-cita. The reasons for holding this theory are the following: 1. Just as Prithvi Kayika Jivas are of various types e. g. numerous minerals, varieties of stones and earths, a multitude of salts all of which are of various densities, colours, shapes, Page #47 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ dimensions, weights etc in the same manner, Agni Kayika and Vayu-Kayika Jivas are of various densities, colours, weights, dimensiors etc. For instance, the intensity of heat in the fire of (1 grass (2) wood-charcoal 3) cow-dung fuel (4) mineral coal obtained form coal-mines and 15) Electric Light is different. Similarly Badara Vayu Kayika Jivas are of various densities. Jaina authors have mentioned two main types of Vayu (wind) viz 1 Ghanayata grata Heavy or Thick wind and (2) Tanuvata agara Light or Thin Rareified Air according to their densities. The present-day scientists (4) also say that, as we go higher and higher from sea-level, the atmospheric air becomes more and more rareified than that met with at the surface of the ground; and such is the general experience of aero-plane drivers. The dense atmosphere of ground-level is largely mixed with rareified air. 2. One kind of air may be beneficial to the support of life in one kind of Agni Kayika body, while it may destroy life in another. For instance, a gust of wind will instantly put out the flame of an ordinary lanip, while the same gust of wind will put energy into withering ainbers of a pile of wood, and re-kindle them into a blazing flame. 3. Agni Kayika Jivas cannot live without air. They must have air to support their individual life. If the kind of air that that they require for the support of their life, be different, and if the quantify be more or less than their requirements, their life will be extinct. 4. Now, the question of electric light is different. Electric light, is extremely pure, clear, and highly escharotic. It cannot bear ordinary atmospheric air. When air is removed from electric glass-bulbs, there always remains a sufficient quantity of rareified air in the bulbs which keeps the electric light burning. It is the presence of rareified air that makes electric light bulbs sa-cita, Page #48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 4.

D. C. According to the Jaina Scriptur, Vanaspati Kayika (Vegetable Beings) are divided into two types viz, Sadharara (General) and 2) Pratyeka or Individuai. The principal characteristics of the Sadharana or General type of vegetable beings are explained in the Prajnapana (Panna_vana) Sutra as follows:-Going asunder together, taking the form together, taking food together, inhaling and exhaling air together, the possession of one, being the common possessiou of all, and of many together, being the possession of one; common food, common holding and the common Soul- These are the characteristics of the Sadharana or General type of Jivas, The Sadharana or General Type is again sub-divided into (1) Siksma (In-corporeal) and (2) Badara or Corporeal. The Suksina or Incorporeal type of Sadharana Vanaspati Kayika Jivas is explained in Samgrahini Prakarana as follows:"There are innumerable spheres (golah); cach sphere possesses innumerable nigodas (i-e Sadharana types of Jivas) and in each nigoda there are ananta (infinite) Jivas. According to the tradition of the Jaina Agamas, the subdivisions mentioned above are respectively known as (1) Samvy 1 nigodo bhadanta ! kAlataH kiyacciraM nigodatve bhavati ? gautama ? jaghanyenAntagahUtamuktarSeNAnantaM kAlaM / tatra anantA utsarpiNyavasarpiNyaH kSetrataH ardhatRtIyAH pudgalaparAvartAH / Page #53 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ avaharika sAMvyavahArika and A-sarivyavaharika asAMvyavahArika -Those that are produced from the original suksma (in corporeal) type of nigodas into the rest of the types of Jivas i-e Prithvi Kayika, Ap Kayika etc, are known as Sainvyavaharikas on account of their contact with Prithvi etc. And those that reside in the susma nigoda right from the beginning are known as A-samvyavaharika in absence of any such contact. Now, the question is whether these nigodas can ever come to the category of Samvyavaharika, from that of the A-samvya vahaka. It is said in Visesanavati That those that are found to have come from the category of Samivyavaharika are, really speaking obtained from the original category of Vanaspati-kaya. From amongst the Sanivyavaharikas there are some which return to the original state of suksma (in-corporeal) nigodas; but even in that condition, these nigodas do not cease to be Samvyavaharika on account of their falling into the said contact with Prithmi Kaya etc. According to the Bhagavati Sutra, the life of Suksma nigoda has been measured as covering innumerable Avasarpini and Utsarpini ages. The Agamas give the longevity of the Badara type of nigodas as seventy crore crores of Sagars. The age of Sadharana (General) type of Vegetable-bodied Jivas is measured as 21 times their Badara (corporeal) and Suksma (in-corporeal) lives together, as said in Panca Samgraha. The term Sadharana here includes those that are free from distinctions like suksma badara, paryapta (completely developed) and a-paryapta (not completely developed) Arya Syamacarya has also supported the above-stated view in Prajna-pana (Pannavana) Sutra. The term "gola" (spheres) is used because on a small region equal to the point of a hair, innumerable nigodas are oxisting, and in each nigoda there are ananta (infinite) Jivas."

C. That vegetation (vanaspati) which bears one Jiva in one forma in absence of division, is commonly known as the Pratyeka or Individual type of vanaspati. Explaining the same in particular, the author states that in case of such a type, there are individual jivas in seven different parts of the vegetation namely in (1) fruit 2) flower (3) bark (4) wood (5) root (6) leaf and (7) seed. There is one jiva in each part separately, and at the same time there is one Common jiva for all the seven limbs to-gether. Here, the author has refferred to the Pratyeka type of Vanaspati alone, without giving any details, The detailed species of the Pratyeka Vanaspati Kayika Jivas are. 1. Vriksas (trees) 2. Gucchas (groves) 3. Gulmas (shrubs) 4. Lata (Creepers) (5) Valli (Tendrils-creepers) 6. Parvaga (Knotty vegetations) 7. Triga qo Grasses 8. Vana-lata, Wild creepers. 9. Harita (Green vegetablas) 10.

Leaving aside the Pratyeka type of Vanaspati, the remaning five varieties viz Prithvi ap, Tejas Vayu, and Sadharana Vanaspati Kayika Jivas are the suksma (subtle, or the Invisible types of Jivas as they are not apprehended by the physicial senses. They pervade all the Fourteen Rajju Lokas (worlds). 1. The Badara or Visibles jivas having one sense organ and five sense-oragans reside in the, Urdhva Loka (Upper World) 2. Adhah Loka (Lower World) and 3. Tiryag Loka (middle WorldTircha Loka or madhya Loka-a region of rational and irrational beings-measuring 1800 yijans.

Prishvi type of Jivas pervades as far as the Siddha-sila (The abode of Salvation); Tejas (fire) exists in Nara-ksetra (regions of human and sub-human beings) in Tircha Loka (middle World). 3. In the heavenly regions. wateranimals such as fish etc are not found in the vapi (square well (att). In the Graiveyaka havenly regions there no wells and in the absence of wells, there is no water. C It may be argued against the principle holding the suksma or invisible type of jivas to be allpervading by asserting that such jivas are likely to be injured by means of actions-such as running Jumping, sleeping, eating, sitting etc-of human beings or similar (sub-human) creatures, thus argument could certainly be refused by replying that the form of such jivas is so exquisitely subtle that they could never injured by any action what-so-ever of human beings and the like. These invisibles jivas could neither be struck by the sharp blade of a sword nor by the blow of a thunder-bolt, nor even by fire etc." Since they are not affected by any external actions, they are called subtle or Invisible beings. These jivas are employed in material use; but the Badaras or visible beings are certainly employed in use because they are capable of being apprehended by means of sense-organs in terms of name, action etc. The age-limit of the Suksma type of jivas has been estimated, as an antara-muhurta i-e as much as a period of time ranging between two and nine samayas as the lowest limit to 2 ghatikas less one samaya or 77 Lavas or a period of time taken by 3773 respirations as the highest limit. The number "nine" . *Nava Graiveyakas are the three rows of three * Vimans each of the Nine Graiveyaka gods situated above the twelve Heavenly Regions. They are called Graiveyaka because they are situated in The, neck of the loka-purusa. Page #82 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ has very often been mentioned in Jaina Scriptures as "sprithakatva" signifying any number between two and nine. The samthana (form, figure) of the five Sthavaras has been mentioned in the "Samgrihini Grantha" as follows:- The form of a Prithvi-kaya jiva resembles that of a seed of Masura corn; the form of an Ap-kaya jiva resembles that of a buble of water; the form of a Tejas-kaya jiva resembles that of a bundle of needles; the form of a Vayu-kaya jiva resembles that of a flag; Vanaspatikaya jivas have a large variety of forms. Two-sensed, threesensed and four-senised jivas, as well as, Sammurchima pancendriya tiryanca jivas (five-sensed brutes born without the union of parents) have ugly and multi-formed bodies. Those who are born from an embryo, have all the six forms. Sammurchima manusyah (human beings born without the union of parents) have hunda samsthana (ugly and irregular forms ). The writers on "Karma-Ciranthas" mention all the six forms for Sammurchima tiryancas (brutes born without the union of parents). According to them, even Vaikriya bodies have ugly forms and have fan-like figures. The Vaikriya forms of fivesensed sub-human and human beings and the uttara-vaikriya forms of Vaimanika gods are mentioned to be of various forms. The uttara-vaikriya forms of hellish beings, have ugly and irregular shapes. The Samthana (saristhana) or forms or figures of objects are of the following six kinds viz (1) Parimandala, resembling a bangle or a wheel. (2) Vatta, resembling a ball or a sweetmeat ball (3) Tamsa (tryamsa) triangular-resembling the fruit Singhad frais (4) Samacalurasra-a square. (5) Ayata-a figure triat has length more than its breadth resembling a stick-and (6) Hunda samsthana-An ugly-multi-formed figure. Irregular and ugly.

These insects become so abundant that they become a source of nuaisanice to us. Within a short time after their appearance, they lose their wings and they die. They are saminurechima living beings born spontaneously without the union of the male and the female. During the rainy season we see several varieties of such sammurchhima living beings appear spontaneously and die within a short time. It will thus be seen that there are 9 ksetras in Jambu Dvipa, 18 ksetras in Dhataki khanda and 18 ksetras in Puskarardha dvipa-making a total of 45 Ksetras-15 for Karma-bhumis and 30 for A-karma-bhumis. These 45 Ksetras added to the 56 Antardvipas of Jambu-dvipa makes total of 101 ksetras. On the Antardviyas there are yugalikas. They have a desire for food on alternate days. They have a desire for food of the size of a berry after an interval of two days. They always have the Second VIII Darsanarya and IX Caritrarya-These subjects being rather intricate for beginners have been purposely left out. Students are desired to get a knowledge from Pannayana Sutra with the help of a learned teacher. Yugalikas of Devakuru and Uttarakuru The yugalikas of Deva kuru and Uttara kuru have an agelimit of three Palyo-painas. They have a desire for food of the size of a Tuver pulse seed after an interval of three days. They always have the First Ar of the cycle of time. They nourish their progeny for 49 days. In Mahavideha Ksetra the height of the body of human beings is 500 Dhanusya and they live for purya krona years, The yugalika manusyas and tiryancas of A -karma 'bhumis are born in Deva-lokas (heavenly regions after death.

Manusya Ksetisa Bharata Ksetra is situated in the south of Mount Meru in Jambu Dvipa. In the north of Bharata Ksetra, there are two land-areas, named Himavanta Ksetra and Harivarsa Ksetra Separating the Bharata Ksetra from the Himavanta ksetra is the Himayan Parvata and separating the Himavanta Ksetra from the Harivarsa Ksetra is the Mala-himavanta Parvata In the north of Harivarsa Ksetra there is Nisadha Parvata.

There are thus seven ksetras inhabited by human beings separated by six mountains Out of these seven ksetras, Bharata, Airavata, and Mahravideha are three Karma-bhumis. Himavanta, Hiranya-vanta, Harivarsa, Ramyaka, Deva-kuru, and Uttarakuru are six A-karmabhumis. Human beings residing in these land-areas as known as Karma-bhimija and A-karma-bhumija. . Bharata Ksetra, Airavata and Mahavideha are known as Karma-bhumis because in those lands there are three main Karmas (actions) viz sfe Asi sword (for protection) afa MasiLampblack as writing material, and so Krisi agriculture and arts and sciences as the guiding agents for work for livelihood. These human beings can also work for their spiritual advancement and Final Liberation of the Soul The human beings residing in A-Karma bhumis are free from these worldly troubles, Their desires for food, drink, clothing, ornaments etc are satisfied by ten Kalpadrumas (desire-yielding trees). They are born as an yugala (a pair-a male and a female) and they are called yugatikas.

There being no difference between the residence and the resident, the bhavans or the mansions also mean the deities dwelling in the mansions. Their adhipatis or kings are the Indras who are twenty one for each of the north and sou h sreni (row) of the ten bhavans. The bhavana-vasi devas are of ten kinds viz. 1 Asura Kumara (2) Naga Kumkra (3) Vidyut Kumara (4) Suvarna Kumara (5) Agni Kuniara (6) Dvipa Kuwara (7) Udadhi Kumara (8) Dig Kumara (9) Vayn Kumara and (10; Stanita Ku. mara. These are callod Kumara because they are always young sportive and full of sensual pleasures. The Ratnaprabha earth is divided into 13 layers. Out of the twelve inner layers, one upper one and one lower one are left out. In the remainiing ten layers dwell the Bhavanapati gods Two Indras live in earch of these ten layers; thus the total number of Indras being twenty for the ten bhavanas These ten nikayas or residential places, extend to 178000 yojanas [1 yojana=8 miles] HH Vyantaras:--Those living in forests at different (vividha) distances (antara) are called Vyantaras.

Vyantaras are eight-fold viz, (1) Pisacas (2) Bhutas (3) Yaksas (4) Raksasas (5) Kinnaras (6) Kimpurusas (7) Manoragas and (8) Gandharvas. Vyantaras reside in the central 800 yojanas of the upper one thousand yojanas of the Ratna-prabha earth, leaving aside the upper and lower layers of 100 yojan as each. Others make distinction between tha Vyantaras and Vana-mantars, and contend that the latter dwell in the first 80 yojanas leaving off the upper and lower layes of 10 yojanas each (out of the first hundred yojanas). Thus there are sixteen kinds of gods of this type and their 30 Indras. The Jyotiska:-Jyotis means brillance and the Joytiskas are those that possess brilliance. They are of five types in which (1) the Sun 2) the Moon (3) the Planets (4) the Constellations and (5) the Stars are included. These Jyotiskas or Luminaries reside in 110 yojanas above 790 yojanas of the sama-bhitala (groundlevel) and are divided into two sets-Cara [moving] and Sthira [motionless]. The luminaries of the first type are the inhabitants of the Mannsya-loka, and the motion-less ones live outside. The reason is that the sama-bhutala is at the foor of the MountMaru which is the centre of our earth. The celestial carts of the five moving luminaries inside the the manusya-loka naturally move round Mount Mera while those of the other five are steady. The Vaimanikas; Vimans are those worldly objects that are honoured or enjoyed [manyante] by specially or excessively [visista] meritorious persons, and the Vaimanikas are those that originate from these. They too are two-fold viz (1) Kalpopa panna and (2) Kalpatita-kalpa means status in life, bounds of morality or Page #132 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ '109 superior power. It is an arrangement like the servant and the master in which the ordinary gods and goddessess must obey the orders of the Indra. Upapanna means reached, approached or acquired. They dwell in twelve deva-lokas which are named Saudharma, lsana etc. Those that have passed such a condition of dependence as servant and master by reason of their highly meritorious deeds and who are extremely more powerful and opulent than Indras are known as Kalpatita devas. They are of two kinds viz. (1) (1) Graiveyaka and (2) Anuttaraupapka. Graiveyaka devas are of nine kinds viz (1) Lower Graiveyakas of the lower trik (2) Middle Graiveyakas of the lower trik (3) Upper Graiveyakas of the lower trik (4) Lower Craiveyakas of the middle trik (5) Middle Graiveyakas of the middle trik (6) Upper Craiveyakas of the middle trik (74) Lower Graiveyakas of the upper trik (8) Middle Graiveyakas of the upper trik: 19; Upper Graiveyakas of the upper trik. .

It is divided into thirteen layers. Out of inner twelve layers one upper one of 1000 yojanas and lower one of 1000 yojanas are left. In the remaining ten layers of 178000 yojanas dwell the Bhanapati gods. These gods live in bhavanas (Mansions) and in resedential quarters resembling pavilions. They are called Bhavanapati gods because they live in bhavanas (mansions). They are handsome, joyful, playful, and foppish like royal princes and therefore they are called Kumaras e-g. Asura-Kumara Naga Kumara etc. Vyanatra gods In the 800 yojanas remaining after leaving off one hundred yojanas above and 100 yojanas below from the 1000 yojanas left out: in: the upper layer, dwel! the eight kinds of Vanavyantara gods.

One inhabited by Vaimanika gods is called Urdhva Loka and the world inhabited by us (human beings) and the subhuman creatures is called Tiryak loka or Tircha loka. The universe is thus divided into Urdva Loka (Upper World), Tiryak or Tircha Loka (Middle World) and Adho Loka (Lower World). Exactly in the middle of the Tircha Loka is Meru Parvata (Mount Meru) and at the foot of that mountain, there is a flat even surface-land named, Samabhutala containing a delightfully beautiful holy piece of ground named Rucaka Prade a which is perfectly free from the bondage of all the eight varieties of Karmas and from which all the measurements of height of the various eternal objects described in the Jaina Agarnas (Scriptures) are taken. The Tircha Loka extends over Eighteen hundred (1800) yojanas, 900 yojanas above Samabhutala Prithvi, and 900 yojanas below it, In the upper 900 yojanas of Tircha Loka the Jyotisk Heavenly Bodies are arranged as follows : The Stars are located at a distance of 790 yojanas above the Samabhutala Prithvi. The Vimana of Surya is 10 yojanas above the region of stars. The Vimana of Candra (the Moon) is eighty (80) yojanas above that of the Sun.

C. Siddhas or the Perfect Ones are those who are freed from all their Karmas. They are of 15 kinds. Only two of these are mentioned in the Gjatha. But by the word adi etc) the rest 13 are to be understood. (1) Tirtha (kara) Siddhas are those Perfect Souls who have becone Siddhas when they were Tirtharkaras became (2) A-tirtha Siddhas are those Perfect Souls, who Siddhas when they were Samanya Kevali. 3. That by which the mundane existence can be crossed over is called a Tirtha. It means an utterance about living and non-living substances by some greai preceptor with the help of Page #144 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 1221 which the mundane existence can be got over. And naturally such utterances must have some receptacle. This latter carl, be either be the Sangha (a congregation of Sadhus (Monks ) 2 Sadhvis (nuns) 3 Sravakas (laymen followers of Jine varas) and 4 Sravikas (female devotees) or the First Ganadhara. When such a one is born some persons become free from worldly trammels. Such freed persons are also called Tirtha-siddha (or siddha, Perfect accomlished by Tirtha] 4. Sva-linga Siddhas are those Siddhas who have become siddha (freed), when they had the apparel and rajorahana and mukha-vastrika of a Jairi Sadhu. with them. 5. Anya-linga Siddhas are those Siddhas who have become siddha (freed) when they have the apparal i.e. bark of trees or coloured clothes, and the linga of a Parivajaka (a wandering mendicant.) When such persons have Kevala Jnana after the acquistion of Samyaktva (Right Knowledge), and if they died at the same moment, then their anya-linga siddhatva (the state of being a Siddha with the apparel and linga of mendicancy of another creed) becomes true. But if such persons live longer after the attainment of Kevala Jnana (Perfect Knowledge), then, enlightened by Perfect Knowledge they usually adopt sadhu-linga (the apparel and practices of a Jaina sadhu) 6. Stri-litga Siddhas are those Siddhas who have become siddha (freed) when they were females. 6. Stritva (the state of being a female) constitutes (1) Possession of female organs and feminine body-configuration. (2) Veda-Possession of feminine impulses and inclinations and (3) Nepathya-Acting. Here the question is with sariranivritti (possession of female organs and feminine configuration) and not with impulses or with feminine acting. With feminine, impulses and inclinations, there is absence of fitness for Siddhatva (becoming 16 Page #145 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ a Siddha). Nepathya (feminine acting) is unauthoritative. Consequently, those who have become Siddhas with female organs and feminine boby-configuration are Stri-linga Siddhas, 7. Purusa-linga Siddhas are those Siddhas who have become siddha (freed) when they were males. 8. Napumsaka-linga Siddhas are those Siddhas who have become Siddha (freed), when they were neuter or with hermaphrodite orgas. 9. Grihi-linga Siddhas are those Siddhas who became Siddha (freed) when they were house-holders. 10. A-tirtha Siddhas are those Siddhas who became Siddha (freed) during the absence of any tirtha. Tirthasya abhavo is absence of a tirtha. It results (1) Before the establishment of any tirtha (2) During the interval between the Nirvana of a Tirtharkara and the establishment of a Tirtha by the next Tirthankara and (3) During the complete abolishment of Order of Monks and Nuns. Those who have become Siddha during this period are A-tirtha Siddhas. Maru-devi Mata and others became Siddha when the Tirtha was not established. At the time of the attainment of Siddhi-pada by Maru-devi Mata, Tirtha was not established. * Total abolishment of the Order of Sadhus (Monks) and Sadhvi's (Nuns) occurred during the interval between the Nirvana of Suvidhi Natha Tirthankara and the establishment of the Tirtha of the seven Tirthankaras commencing from the Nirvana of Suvidhi Natha and ending with that of Santi Natha Tirthankara, . 11. Pratyeka-buddha Siddhas' are those Siddhas who have become siddha on seeing a bull or some other thing as an ob ject of meditation abouf the frailty of worldly objects. 12. "Svayam Buddha Siddhas are those Siddhas who have become Siddha by their own natural intuition and not by the preaching of any religious preceptor. The distinction Page #146 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ between the Svayam Buddha and the Pratyeka Buddha is with regard to (1) upadhi (articles for use in ascetic life). (2) ? Sruta (Knowledge) and (3) Linga (rajoharana, mukhavastrika!. Svayam Buddhas have perfect enlightenmenit without the motive of any external object while Pratyeka Buddhas have that requirement. As for instance-kara-kandu, Durmukha, Tirthankara Nami Natha, and the King of Gandhara had enlightenment through the medium of a bull, circles of the rain-bow, a mango-fruit and a flower. Svayam Buddhas have the following twelve articles for use viz. 1 Patra (wooden dishes and bowls) 2 Patra-bandha (A square piece of cloth to tie dishes, bowls etc) 3 Patra-sthapana (anything over which vessels are placed), 4 Patra-pramarjanika (A wollen brush to wipe bowis etc) 5 Patalani (pieces of cloth to cover dishes and bowls at the time of begging. 6 Rajastranam (a covering for utensels, dishes etc) 7 Gocchaka (931) Two pieces of square woollen cloths with strings applied to one for tying uteusils dishes, bowls etc 8-10 Three Pracchadaka (three coverings for the body. 11 Rajoharana (A symbolic accessory of a Jaina Sadhu-a woollen brush to remove dust and insects) and 12 Mukha-vastrika (a piece of cloth to cover the mouth) Pratyeka-Buddhas keep only Rajoharana and Mukha-vastrika At the most, they keep nine articles Svayam-buddhas mayor may not have previous scriptural knowledge. Pratyeka Buddhas as a rule, have a knowledge of, at least Eleven Angas and at the most, not less than Tep Purvas. In the case of Svayam-Buddhas who do not possess previous. scriptural knowledge, the acquisttion of symbolic accessaries i-e Rajoharma and Mukha-vastrika takes places as a rule from the Gurn and they move about along with the samudaya. If they possess scriptural knowledge, the gods give them the symbolic accessories or they get them from the Guru. If they Page #147 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 124 have a desire to move about alone, they can move about alone. Other, wise they live in the samudaya. In case of Pratyeka Buddhas, the gods give the symbolic accessories or they remain without those accessories. 13. Eka--siddhas are those Siddhas who have become siddha in one moment. 14 Aneka-siddhas are those numerous Siddhas who have become siddha in one samaya. If during one samaya (instant) one or at the most, thirty-two become siddha, during the second samaya also thirty-two become siddha, and without an interval till eight samayas thirtytwo become siddha, and beyond that, there is an interval. Sinilarly commencing with the thirty-third and ending with forty-eighth become siddha in one samaya, then, they become siddha, without an interval for seven samayas, and then there is an interval In the same manner, commencing with the forty-ninth and ending with the sixty, they become siddha in one samaya, then, they become siddha without an interval for six samayas, and then there is an interval of many samayas. In a similar way, one hundred and eight become siddha in one samaya-and then there is an interval of many samayas. 15. Buddha-bodhita Siddhas are those siddhas who have become siddha (freed) hy the precept of some eminent acaryas (preceptors.) In this way, the fifteen (15) kinds of siddhas are briefiy mentioned. Only two kinds are given in the text, and the rest are not described, because all of them are included in the two varieties. 25 CHAPTER III etha ekendriyAdijIvAnAM zarIra - AyuHsvakAryasthiti-mANa - yoni pramANAni prakaTayannAha - siM jIvANaM sarIramAu-ThiI-sakAyammi / non viformoi, afer di zafar a uforut || 26 || F Page #148 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 125 26 Eesim Jivanam sariramauin thi-sakayamami Pana-Joni pamanam jesim jam atthi tam bhanimo [eteSAM jIvAnAM zarIramAyuH sthiti-svkaaye| pANA-yonipramANaM yeSAM yadasti tad maNiSyAmaH // 26 // Etesam Jivanam sariramayuh-sthiti-svakaye Prana-yonipramanam yesam yada-sti tad bhanisyamah 26] Trans-26.

How long do the beings stay in their own bodies ? i-e that is to say, How long do the earth and the like take rebiths in the very earth and the like? How long do the vital airs stay in the body ? How many of the 84 hundred thousand (840000) existences are presocribed for a certain being. All these questions are answered in the following lines.

The coming (ayati) to one state of existence from another state, of the living beings that transmigrate from birth to birth, is called ayuh The period occupied by that life of existence is its ayuh (period of life). The word "thousand' is to be construed with all the words denoting the highest limit of life, of course, excluding the case of the Tejaskaya. What is meant is this:-The highest limit of the life of the beings embodied in 'Prithvi' (the earth) is twenty-two thousand (22000 years. Similarly, the highest limit of the life of waterbodied souls is seven thousand (7000) years; while that of the wind-bodied ones is three thousand (3000) years, and that of the vegetables is ten thousand (10000) years. The word 'tree' has the sense of Pratyeka (one-souled) vegetables. Lastly, the the highest limit of the life of Tejaskayika (fire-bodied) beings is three days and three nights. The lowest limit falls within even a Mahirta (an Instant), while the middle limit falls in between the highest and the lowest boundaries - To be more clear on the distinction of the six varieties of the earth-bodied beings Table Kinds of earth Duration of Life 1 slaksna or the deserts 1000 Years 2 Suddha or the virgin soil T2000 Years 3 Valuka or the Sands 14000 Years Page #167 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 4 Manaha sila or Red arsenic -16000 Years 5 Sarkara or Stone-pieces 18000 Years 6 Kharaprithvi or the hard earth in the 22000 Years form of big stones and rocks S (b) Highest Duration of Life of Vikalendriya Beings. ityuditA pRthvyAdInAM tkRSTAyuH sthitiHdvIndriyAdInAmAyo rutkRSTAyuH sthiti spaSTayannAha vAsANi vArasAU beiMdiyANaM teiMdiyANaM ca / auNApannadiNANaM cauriMdINaM tu chammAsA / / 35 // 35 Vasani barasau be-indiyanam te indiyanam ca !

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 148 D. C. The period of living of both the devas (gods) and the Narakas (infernal beings), is si-nilar The highest limit of their living, is also the same viz thirty-three (33) Sagaropams Most probably everywhere, the duration of the life of elephants, lions, serpents, and the like, is the same as that of human beings. The life of horses, mules, and the like is equal to one fourth (14) of human life; that of goats, sheep etc equals one-eighth (18) of human life; that of the bull, buffalo, Camel, donkey, and the like compares with the fifth part (1) of the human one; while a wolf, a panther, and the like have a life equal to one-tenth (is) of human life. Now, we proceed to explain the terms "Palyopama and "Sagaropama.' Palyopama.--"Palya' means a cup-like vessel for measuring corn or a cup-shaped granary or a cup-shaped pit. The proportion of time that compares with the emptying of a palya' is Palyopama. It is three-fold:-- (1) Uddhara-palyopama is the time in which the tips of the hair or the pieces of hair are taken off completely from the huge cup-like pit; the process being executed at certain definite intervals of one samaya each. (2) Addha-palyopama is the period of time taken for the com plete removal of the mass of hair-one piece of hair being removed at an interval of one hundred (100) years. (3) Ksetra-palyopama-Ksetra is nothing else but the vast sky to completely empty a hollow one yojana 8 miles) long and wide by removing one hair at an interval of every one hundred years (100) gears when it has been thoroughly packed up very closely with the ends, of the hair of yugalika's heads of one, to seven days duration grown after being clear , shaved. Page #172 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 149 In Ksetra-palyopama the calculation of the smallest bits of hair divided into a-samklyeya parts is taken into account. These are again badara (gross), as well as, suksma (subtle). Badara Uddhara-palyopama Having filled to the brim, a pit (or a granary) one yojana long and deep, as well as, one yojana broad with such bits of hair as may grow on a clean shaved head of an yugalisa of Deva Kura Ksetra, within a day or two or at the most within seven days so that they cannot be affected by fire, wind, or even water, we take off one piece of hair at every samaya. The time taken to thoroughly empty the pit for the granary) is Badara (gross) Uddhara-palyopama Saksma Uddhara Palyopama Similarly, fill the pit (or the granary) with the hair that are divided into innumerable small pieces. Then take off each of them one by one at an interval of every samaya, in order to evacuate the pit (or granary) completely. The time taken for this is Suksma (subtle) Uddhara Palyopama Badara Addha Palyopama In the same way, the period of time taken for emptying the pit (or granary) completely of the hair-bits, which latter are taken off one by one at an interval of one hundred (100) years, is Badara (gross, Addha Palyopama Suksma Addha Palyopama The period of time in which all the minute bits of hair are removed from the pit, one bit of hair being removed at an interval of one hundred (100) years, is called Suksma Addha Palyopama. The following table must be noted:10 Crore-crore of Badara Uddhara l. 1 Badara (grass) Uddhara Palyopam sagaropama Page #173 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 150 10 Crore-crore of Stiksma Uddharal Palyopama Suksma subtle) Uddhara sagaropama 10 Crore-crore of Badara Addha Palyopama | Badara (gross) Addha sagaropama 10 Crore-crore of Suksma Addha Palyopama Suksma (subtle) Uddhara sagaropama 10 Crore-crore of Badara Sagaropama = 1. Avasarpini or Utsarpini The term Sagaropama is very easy. It means that which is compared to a sea due to its greatness The Utsarpinis collected to infinity make one Pudgalaparavarta Innumerable Pudgala-paravartas make one Atitaddha or Anagaladdha It is said that there is no end to the anagataddha and there is no beginning to the atitaddha. The different states of action, body, and existence of the gods, of infernal beings and of lower animals, are measured with the help of the siksma (subtle, addha-palyopams and of suksma (subtle) sagaropams. In the same way, the badara gross) Ksetra palyopama, and badara (gross) Ksetra sagaropna and the siksna (suhtle) ksetrapalyopama and the su ksma (subtle) Ksetra sagaropama are to be counted. With the help of the latter two, viz siksma-ksetra palyopama and saksmaksetra sagaropama, aro measured the proportions of the earth, water, fire vegetable and Movable Beings 36. The highest limit of the period of life of manusyas (human beings) and tiryanca (lower animals) in Bharata and Airvata Ksetras durning the first ara of Cycle of Time is three palyopams. The lowest" limit of the period of life of the devas - ( gods ) and Narakas (Infernal beings) is ten thousand (10000) years, and Page #174 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 151 that of manusyas (human beings) and tiryancas (lower animals) is antar-muhurta.

(1) The three types of strength viz of mind, speech and of body. Or (2) The word 'yoga,' may be disconnected with the word bala' which latter may be connected with aya or life. In this case also, the yogas are of mind, apeech and body.

C. Due to the lack of the distinction between the resort and the resorted, Siddhas do not possess a body. Where there is no body, no question either of duration of life or death or of the seven Karmas (actions) can arise at all. Similarly, when there are no Karmas (actions), there does not ensue the question of re-birth in the mundane life, and, therefore, there cannot be any vital airs or originating places in their case But, then, what about their condition? They have a beginning, for there is a time of their origination. But they have no end for there is no possibility of their stumbling or falling down from there This peculiarity of their state is proclaimed in the Sakrastava of the Jaina Agamas (Scriptures). In a word, what is meant is this, have that the Siddhas no body, and hence there are no vital airs, no originating places no births and rebirths, no life-limit, no Karmas, and no other conditions in the case of the Siddhas, as are inevitable in the case of the Samsari (transmigrating) souls 48. gedargar fugini zasqafaara ga: dankot staat zaand SUTSUITE we sanfaca sivingofen zited ser i bhamiyA mamihiMti ciraM jIvA jiNavayamaLahaMtA / / 49 / / 49 Kale anainihane jonigahanammi bhisane ittha Bhamiya bhamihinti ciram jiva jina-vayanamalahanta 49 [ kA anAdinidhane yonigahane bhISaNe'tra / bhrAntA bhramiSyanti cIraM jIvA jinavacanamakamamAnAH / / 49 / / Kale anadinidhane yonigahane bhisane' atra, Bhranta bhramisyanti ciram jiva jina-vacanamalabhamanah 49] Trans. 49.

END Page #199 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page #200 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ SUPPLEMENT Jain Misson Society Madras. By Mr. R. B. JAIN. Secretary. At the outset, let me say frankly without the least exagge ration that the author of this Treatise, which is called, "Jiva Victor, or Treatise on the (Science of)' Life, or Biology, was His Holiness Vadivetal Sri Santi Suriji who was an unrivalled scholar of his times, whose greatness and scholarship were enlogised by then distinguished Poet Dhanapal, one of the Gems in the court of the Emperor Bhoja-raj as well as, by other contemporary learned scholars and the emperor himself. The treatise though small in size containing only 50 stanzas deals with all the Biological gist Exhibiting wide range of knowledge of how the life developes from the tiny being to the highest human form in its successive stages, and how complicated it becomes and how it gets its deliverence from birth and death, and then how it eventully reaches a state of permanent happiness called, 'Mukti,' or Emancipation. 19 To ordinary men, this work may appear to be an insignificant one, but when we study it deeply, we come to know how 23 Page #201 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 178 can 46 important and useful it is for us-mankind-to understand the the implication of our misery and bondage, and how we save ourselves from the severe punishment of Nature's Government by obeying her rules and regulations etc., and so we can at once see that our author wrote this work fork for the good of humanity confirming the irrevocable law of Nature viz., As we sow, so we reap". By sowing a mago-seed we get a mango-friut, and from a margosa-seed we get a margosa fruit. In the same manner, we suffer from pain by giving pain to oihers and get happiness in retum of the good we have done to others, Out of this Law, there is no escape, and to expect happiness from our bad deeds, is to expect nectar from a serpant's hood or mouth. A certain Philosopher has paraphrased this as follows: "So long thou shalt not refrain thyself from causing pains and troubles to thy fellow-creatures, thou needst not dream to be emancipated from the appalling danger of the same,' Our ancient Rishis had known this from time immemorial, But modern critics remark that if according to your scriptures, everything has a life, if a man, beast, bird, insect, and a worm, if even roots, fruits, trees, and creepers have a soul-and science also supports this view-then why do you discriminate between cutting a fruit and cutting an animal, and attach comparatively less or more sin respectively in each case. From the economic point of view, many fruits are necessary to quench or satisfy the hunger of a man, and so also, if by killing a single animal, appetite of many hungry people can be satisfied, there is comparatively less sin in their opinion in killing one animal than in cutting many fruits. We will discuss this point rationally and give a suitable answer to the above objection. The above critics accept the authority of science, and science in its turn, proclaims that it accepts no other authority Page #202 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 179 than Nature. Now, if we study closely the natural phenomena, we understand that Nature is working incessantly for the better-ment of every one, for the happiness of all, until everyone of us reaches the pinnacle of perfect peace and happiness. But, here again, another objection is raised by the critics that if nature is so kind, why does she put different souls in differeal wombs and make them suffer, birth and death, old age, disease, pain, and fear etc., and "What is the reason of this?" While trying to solve this point, I have to proceed further and remark that the whole univers is being governed by an unchanging Law with regularity,-Justice and Truth-and it takes account of even atoms and seconds. This Law of Nature never commits any mistake. In fact, just as any Government, though good, has to punish the wrong doers or Law-breakers to correct their wrong mentality and reform them into good citizens and to establish Law and order, in the state, and just as Parents punish their children, if they go wrong and render them more desciplined and well-behaved. Can we call the action of the Government or of Parents in the above instances as harsh aud cruel or unjust? Similarly, can the action of action of a doctor in giving some bitter medicine to the patient or operating a wound on the body of a child be construed as cruel? The disease appears in the body as a result of the violation of the rules re: eating and drinking it is by of punishment that Nature introduces disease in the body for one's going against the dietary rules. So also, the experiencing of pain by the living being is the result of its bad actions. The function of the Doctor is to remove the pain and also the function of nature is to do good to the living being We misunderstend the process of nature and call it pain and misery when she is actually doing good to it indirectly without our knowledge and this cannot be called a fault in her as the action of Nature is always prompted in our favour with 'disinterested motives. Now, it is clear that the living is itself the cause-the seedof the its own troubles. If so, another question arises as to why it causes its own trouble! The answer given by all thinkers is Page #203 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 180 that it is nothing but ignorance that is the cause of this mis-. take. When one knows that the fire burns one's fingers if he touches it or when one knows that a snake bites, if it is meddled with, naturally he refrains from it, after realising this knowledge. But before this experience comes to man, he tries in ignorance to eat the forbidden fruit and jumps in the fire of of miseries like the butter-fly falling into the fire with the false knowledge that the red fire is an eatable thing, and it should enjoy it It is thus clear that to be safe, and happy, in the kingdom of Nature is to have the knowledge of the above truth and without this knowledge, a living being cannot discriminate between good and bad actions and in eating and drinking and without the help of this knowledge he has no chance to rectify and reform himself and cannot achieve his own good and happiness. Nature is always helpful to the living being towards its acquiting this knowledge and in proportion to the acquisition of this knowledge, the living being is given better chances and opportnities and it is the possession of this knowledge, which has entitled the human being to the majestic position and superiority over others. It is accordinglp said by others, "There is nothing greatest in the world than man, and there is nothing greatest in the man than mind." Man has got better chances to follow the directions of Nature, and thus, by following her, reaches the highest objest of existence viz highest happiness and peaace. And so the favour of nature seems to be more on the human being rather than on any other living creature. There is a saying of an experienced sould, who says "Obedience is the first law of Governing" that is to say that one who follows the rules of a Government becomes the more fitted to govern it. To the extent to which the knowledge of man developes, to that extent, he is rendered fit by Nature to understand her intentions and follow her rules and in such a man full evolution of Nature takes place and so in the order of gradation, all the living beings are divided into five classes viz beings with one sense developed, beings with two senses, some with three senses, and others with four senses, and the rest with five senses Page #204 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 181 developed, respectively. In the beings of the first division they feel knowledge through touch only, the 2nd category through touch, taste; the 3rd elass through touch, taste and smell and the 4th category. through touch, taste, smell, and sight, while the 5th division has got all the five senses well developed and has got a better opportunity of understanding good and bad, true and false. It is why and how the superiority of the human being has come to be recognised over all other beings. In order to elevate it self from stage to stage till the achievement of human form, every living being has to go through a great deal of ordeal in the Laboratory of Nature, viz they have to go through infinite births and deaths and still they may not. easily reacli the human stage. There may be many pitfalls and slips between the cup and the lip, from the highest summit he may at once fall to the abasyes. The process is complicated and laborious as to throw a ring in the mid-ocean and go after its search. This receding process is all due to the sins we are committing, thongh unconsciously, and this is the cause of the complication. Thus to come to the point at issue, there is greater sin in killing beings of two senses than in killing those of one sense, and so on; the enormity of sin incaeases in each successive step. In the common experience of the world, we know that ordinary mud has little value; but pots etc made from the same have got more value and further, if they undergo workmanship and ornamentation, they fetch higher value, because of the process they undergone. Another instance is that the death of:an adult person who is the pillar of the familly causes more sorrow for the family members than the death of a young child. So also the assasination of a big illustrious person or a king is considered more heinous and cruel than that of an ordinary being. In ths kingdom of nature, the killing of a man is met writh the severest punishment by nature herself. Our ancient seers had therefore given out this future by writing. so many books on the Science of life, so that the man, the highest ornament in the scale of evolution may not commit the destruction of life through Page #205 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 182 ignorane for the selfish nourishment of his own body or mainttence of livelihood and thus avoid the severest punishment at the hands of nature. They saw this truth through their finer and subtter intelled and intuition and analysed how the sin is increased in proportion from the killing of life possessing one sense to that of 5 senses. They say as follow :-- sattavirAhaNapAvaM, asaMkhaguNIyassa egabhUyassa / bhUyassANataguNaM pAvaM, ikkassa pANassa // 1 // beiMdiya teiMdiya cauridiya, tahaya ceva paMcidI / lakkha sahassAta sayaguNaMta pAvaM muNeyavvaM // 2 // From the above observations and summary it is evident that infinite amount of sin is gathered from eating fleshthan from eating fruits etc., In our ignorance and from temptations of passions, we forget what is right and what is wrong, and what should be eaten and what should not be eaten and fall into the error of judgement and commit such sins for which the highest punishment would await us. it is, therefore, essential that we should completely avoid violence to the living beings when we can easily maintain our body by fruits, nuts, and vegetables and other articles which contain no tangible life, just as Jaina Munis do. This kind of life of non-violence of munis practised even for a day is extolled as greater than all the charities an Emperor can make; but in the case of a house-holder, it is impossible for him to follow the strict rules of munis, and so, he is allowed some margin for his maintenance except through the violence committed to the mobile living Beings. Even from the standpoint of medical science, it has been proved that by vegetable diet, the health and life is better maintained than through flesh-eating. We can also know which food is natural to hiiman beings by a little observation of patural Laws.......From they very anatomceal construction of human Page #206 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 183 teeth and and nails etc., we see that they are different in man that in that of carnivorous animals like lions, tigers, bears etc, The difference of this construction of teeth etc., is seen in herb. ivorous animals like cows, buffaloes goats etc; which makes them unable to kill through their teeth and nail. Further, man's body is similar to that of a monkey and if the food of the monky is vegetarian main's food also must be vegetarian and so flesh eating is unnatural and is attended with servere consequencess, and so must be avoied by man. This avoiding of flesh-eating is not only imperative on man, but very beneficial to him. If a man wants to be happy in this world, it is not only essential to avoid violence in food matters but in every walk of life. To those who are earnest enquirers and want to avoid Violence to life it becomes their first duty to study Biology. Our author, Acharya Bhagavan Shree Vadivetal Shanti Sur. iji, has, in this kindness to us, composed the gist of Biology in the form of a small treatise, called Jiva Vichara. He has tried to shew herein in a nutshell the nature of life, their division in to many categories, their bodies, senses and energies, their lifetime and how the life remains in the body etc;-All these details are beautifully described by studying which we can become beginners in its practice and save ourselves from sin and eventually reach perfect state of emancipation. Our Jain Mission Society is trying in its humble capacity to make this smati treatise reach into the hands of every-body, by translating the same in different languages. The first edition has been published in Hini through Pandit Hiralalji Duged Nyaya Thirtha and we are getting it published in English through Our Holiness the Muni Maharaj Sri Ratna Prabha Vijayaji, who though 79 years in age, has, however, finished the work in spite of his ascetic hardship of penance, general wenkness of health, and heart-trouble and we cannot thank bim sufficiently for the trouble he has taken. While engaged in writing small supplement to this work, re Page #207 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 184 gular chain of ideas surgge up in may mind but for fear of the already swelling itself into a text, I have refrained myself froni expressing all that I wanted to say herein, reserving the same for an independent publication which I intend bringing out shortly on the same subject of biology. I hope this small essay is enough and if through oversight and dullness of my intellect, I have overstepped the limit or said anything out of the way, I request the indulgence of Dharmacharyas and with my humble salu-tations at their feet, I conclude this essay.

At the time when the work of printing these volumes was undertaken, the cost of good Printing Paper was annas three and six pies per lb. and printing, as well as, other charges were low. But during the year 1941, the cost of Printing Paper increased greatly owing to War difficulties, and some of the printing work had to be finished with paper bought at a price varying from annas Twelve to Fourteen annas per lb. The work of printing had to be finally stopped, as the required quality of paper, could not be had in India at any cost, nor could it be got from foreign countries. However, after four years of anxious waiting for conditions to improve, a sufficient quantity of good Printing Paper had been obtained from England, and the work of re-printing the volumes-revised and augmented with inuch additional matterhad been commenced from July of last year. Instead of four books, there will be eight books greatly increased in size, as explained in this Pamphlet of Contents of each volume The market-price of Printing Paper has considerably increased and printing charges have increased three to four times, on account of heavy labour-costs. Taking into consideration the Page #211 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ enhanced cost of materials and labour, and the heavy charges of make-up, as well as, the utility of the volumes, we have, as far as possible, tried to keep the prices of the individual books within very reasonable limits. For the present six books of the Series have been pubished viz. (1) Vol. I Part I (Life). (2) Vol. I Part II (Life). (3) Vol. II Part I (Life) (4) Vol. III (Ganadhara-vada). (5) Vol. IV (Nihnava-vada), and (6) Vol. V Part I (Sthaviravali ). Remaining two books viz. Vol. II Part II (Life) and Vol. V Part II completing the series are in press and they will be published in October or November of the current year. July 1950.

Birth of Visvabhuti Kumara-Visvabhuti Kumara going to Puspa-karandaka garden for amusement during Spring Festival-Visvabhauti Kumara treacherously sent with a large army to fight with a frontier feudatory prince at the instigation of Queen Madana-lekha. When Vievabhuti Kumara returned home, he realised that it was a well-designed plan of Madana-lekha to drive him out from the garden to make room for her son Visakha-nandi. Becoming enraged at this insulting diplomacy, Visvabhuti Kumara renounces the pleasurable enjoyments of the world, and he takes Bhagavati Diksa at the hands of Acarya Sambhuti Suri. Visvabhuti Muni practised severe austerities during his ascetic life, and went to various towns and villages with the object of preaching the principles of the Tirthankaras.-When Visvabhuti Muni-whose body had become greatly debilitated by continuous fastings and strict penances-was going for alms after a continuous fasting of one month at Mathura (Muttra), he was accidentally knocked down by a rushing cow. On seeing that Visvabhuti Muni had fallen down on the ground owing to a strong impact with the body of the cow, his cousin Visakha-nandi who had gone to Mathura with a number of his attendents on his marriage--ceremony with the daughter of the king of that place, began to crack jokes at the withered condition of the body of Visvabhuti Muni. The penitent Muni was greatly offended, and he made a niyana-nidana-a firm determination) to be able to possess, after deatli, sufficient strength to kill all those persons at one blow, by way of revenge. Athough Visvabhuti Muni was repeatedly aavised by Sthayiras and others to desist from the attempt, he Page #215 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 8 did not leave off his firm resolution, and having died without expiating for his sinful act even on his death-bed, he was born as a god in Maha-sukra deva-loka-Seventeenth Previous Bhava as a brilliant god in Maha-sukra deva-loka with an age-limit of seventeen (17) sagaropam years. Appendix No. I, containing Some Note-worthy Points about the Sixteenth Previous Bhava of Sramana Bhagavan Mahavira. CHAPTER II. Eighteenth previous Bhava of Sramana Bhagavan Mahavira-Tripristha Vasudeva-Queen Bhadra, the chief consort of King Ripu prati-Satru of Potanapura ) gave girth to Acala Kumara portended by four Great DreamsAfter a few years, birth of a daughter named Mrigavati to Queen Bhadra-When Mrigavati attained youth and marriageable age, King Ripu prati-Satru becoming greatly enamoured with her exquisite beauty and blooming charms, publicly and shamelessly, contracted marraige with his own daughter, disregarding violent protestations from Queen Bhadra, Acala Kumara, family-members, feudal princes, ministers, religious preceptors, and from a large majority of citizens, who were painfully grieved at such an un-natural and utterly disgraceful alliance, and, having made her his Chief Queen, he began to enjoy worldly pleasures with her. Queen Bhadra-the girl's mother-becoming displeased by this heinous act, and greatly distressed by public censure, went away to her parents' house in the Deccan, and passed her days in mourning. The parents of Queen Bhadra were very wealthy. A nice town namen Mahesvari-complete with high city-walls, beautiful buildings, temples, dharmasalas (inns for travellers), cattlecamps, big market-places and gardens, inhabited by wealthy merchants-was built for her, and it soon became a very flourishing city in the South. By this heinous act on his part, King Ripu-prati-Satru, came to be, afterwards, called Praja-pati (literally, husband of one's own progeny by the people, on account of his having a dersine of sexual intercourse with his own daughter. The sourci Page #216 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ vis vabhuti Muni, descending from Maha-sukra deva-loka, assumed the form of a foetus in the womb of Mrigavati-devi, portended by seven great dreams-Birth of Tripristha Vasudeva-Celebration of Birth-festivities -Attainment of youth-Cleverness in wrestling, use of war-like weapons and various arts and sciencesPrati- Vasu-deva, Asvagriva of Rajagriha Nagara, -The soul of Vis akha-nandi Kumara born as a lion in a den near the ricefields of the Prati-Vasudeva-One day, Prati Vasudewa Asvagriva, invited a very clever astrologer into his private-chambers and confidentially inquired as to how and by whom he will meet with his death-The astrologer reluctantly but positively replied :-"O king ! I can see that your death will be caused by the powerful man who will easily kill the lion living in his den in your rice fields, and the man who will insult your messenger Candavega so widely respected by all your feudatory kings."The lion in the rice-fields of Prati Vasudeva Asvagriva was doing much damage to the cultivators of the fields, and so, they requested him to afford them suitable protection. Thereupon, Prati-Vasudeva Asvagriva sent orders to his sixteen thousand feudatory kings to give their services by turns, for the protection of his cultivators. The Prati-Vasudeva, then inquired of his ministers as to who were very powerful among the young princes of his feudatory kings. The ministers said 'We cannot definitely say, but we have heard that both the young princes viz Acala Kumara and Tripristha Kumara of King Prajapati are clever and powerful. Thereupon, Prati-Vasudewa Asvagriva, sent an order through his messenger Candavea, to King Prajapati to come and see him immediately. At the time when Candavega arrived at Potanapura, King Prajapati, his princes, familymembers, and some citizens, had met together in the Inner Court of King Prajapati, and there was excellent dancing, dramatic performance, and great rejoicing going on. Now, Candavega, unobstructed by any rules of decency and un-prevented by any door-keeper, at once rushed into the private chamber of the Inner Court, and abruptly communicated the message to King Prajapati-The king hurriedly got up from his seat, to receive Page #217 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ the messenger, and there occurred a sudden break in the revelry. Prince Tripristha Kumara became greatly enraged at the rude behaviour of Prati-Vasudeva's messenger and having dealt him blows with his fists, feet and stick, he took back all the valuable presents received from King Prajapati. Now Prati-Vasudeva Asvagriva became very angry on hearing about the insult to his messenger, and he realised that the first part of the foretelling of the astrologer-that the man who would insult his messenger Candavega will cause his death-may turn out to be true. So, he at once sent another messenger to Prajapati and ordered him to go immediately to rice-fields, and to give protection to his cultivators against the ravages of the lion lurking there. King Prajapati became ready to go there, but both his princes viz Acala Kumara and Tripristha Kumara vehemently implored him not to undergo the risk, on account of his old age, and they went there with men and materlals. against his wish. When nearing the den of the lion, Tripristha Kumara left his men and materials at a distance, and he went on foot to the den, without carrying any weapon, and unaccompanied even by his own brother and unasisted by any of his numerous soldiers, as he thought it contrary to all rules of justice for hunters to take with them a clever party of numerous well selected persons fully equipped with varions destructive weapons, on horse-backs or some such vehicles, for attacking a single, solitary tiger or lion, posting themselves on high platforms erected on tall trees or protruding rocks on mountain-peaks. Standing fearlessly just near the entrance of the den, Tripristha Kumara repeatedly coaxed the lion for a duel fight with himself, and, as soon as the lion jumped on him, Tripristha Kumara, at once caught hold of the lion's upper jaw, and tightly grasping his lower jaw into his left hand, he readily cut the lion into two vertical pieces. When the lion died, the cultivators were greatly pleased with the bravery of the prince. On his return towards Potanapura, Tripristha Kumara instructed the cultiyators to give the lion's skin to Prati-Vasudeva Asvagriva, and to inform him that as the lion was now dead, his rice-fieles will, for the present, be free from danger. Page #218 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 11 When both the princes of King Prajapati returned home with their party, King Prajapati was extremely delighted, and there was great rejoicing in the town. When the cultivators narrated the unique bravery of Tripristha Kumara in killing the lion before Prati-Vesudeva Asvagriva, he become alarmed, and he began to be convinced more about the truth of the fore-telling of the astrologer, viz that his death would be caused by the person who insults his messenger Candavega, and, also by the person who kills the lion. With the deceitful idea of killing both the princes of King Prajapati, the enraged Prati-Vasudeva Asvariva sent another messenger to King Prajapati and told him-"Go and tell Prajapati, since you are too old to serve, you send both your princes-Acala Kumara and Tripristha Kumara-to me for my service They will be very amply rewarded with large estates and money, and they will have higher dignity among feudatory kings. In case, you cannot act according to my orders, be ready for a fight at the earliest moment." Being quite unwilling to part with his only princes, King Prajapati, rejected the offer, and made preparations for a fight. Armies of both the sides met with each other, and after a severe fight for a few days, Prati-Vasudeva Asvagriva was killed by Tripristha Kumara. When Prati Vasudeva Asvagriva was dead, the gods and semigods, who had gone there to witness the fight, poured showers of fragrant flowers and scented powders over the head of Tripristha Kumara, and announced 1-"O. kings! This Tripristha Kumara is born as the first Vasudeva in the Bharata-ksetra, owing to his meritorious deeds of previous life. You, therefore, leave off your enmity towards him, seek his protection, and do respe ctful salutations to him. All the feudatory kings of Prati Vasudeva Asvagriva fell at the feet of Tripristha Kumara and accepted him as their supreme lord. On seeing that all the feutdatory. kings ot Prati-Vasudeva Asvagriva had accepted service under Tripristha Kumara, the queens of Prati Vasudeva went to the place where his body soaked in blood and mud was lying, and having lamented for a long time, they ordered their servants to * cremate his body with due respect. Wifen Tripristha Kumara Page #219 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 12 returned to Potanapura, there was great rejoicing in the town. After staying there for some time, Tripristha Vasudeva carrying with him, cakra, chatra, dhanusya, mani, gada etc. went with a large army for dig-vijaya. In course of time, he brought under his supreme authority, half the continent of Bharataksetra and thousands of feudatory kings. Having conquered the kingdoms of Anga( country near Modern Bhagalpur on Coroma. ndel coast. S. India) Vanga ( Bengal) Kalinga (a district) and having established his own officers there, he went to Magadhadesa (Southern Bihar). There, he merrily lifted up, like an umbrella, over his own head, a very huge stone-slab which could be lifted by ten million persons collected to gether, and beings praised by the kings and bards, he went in the direction of Dandaka ranya ( a forest in South Deccan ), and having located his army there, he passed some days in the forest. One night, when all the people of his camp were asleep, Tripristha Vasudeva, unnoticed by any of his numerous watchmen, went out from his camp, and as he was walking alone silently, he heard a gentle noise comming from a distance. He went in the direction of the noise, and as he entered a thick forest full of numerous tall trees, he saw a man bound to a tree. Tripristha Vasudeva went quite near the tree, and asked the men as to who he was and why he was thus bound. The men replied:-"O Worthy Sir! please make me free form my ties, and I will narrate my account. The Vasudeva cut the ties of the man with his discus and set him free. The man, then, said:-"I am a Vidyadhara (a class of demi-gods) named Ratnasekhara. Nijayavati-the extremely beautitul and charming daughter of the King of Simhaladvipa (Island of Ceylon) was to be given in marriage with me, and when I reached this place with all my marriage preparations on my way to Simhala-dvipa, an inimical Vidyadhara named Vayu-vega, forcibly snatched away everything from me, and reduced me to this state.', Tripristha Vasudeva, then asked him:-"Being a vidyadhara ( a demi-god ), why are you desirous of marrying a human female? The Vidyadhara said: "Qillustrious man! She is very beautiful, and her charms are unique." Page #220 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 13 With the consent of the Vidyadhara Tripristha Vasudeva made up his mind to have regular marriage with her, and having gone to Simhala-dvipa, he married her.

The former of these two, is generally accepted to date from an earlier date. But the religions start with opposing the authority of the Vedas, and this is perhaps the most importan common ground, The differences between the two religions, ari far too many; the most striking of those, barring doctrinal differenci which are too obvous, is that while Buddha is the real founde Page #234 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ of 'Buddhism, his first sermon, as well as, the doctriues he preached then being those which are ever to be remembered by his followers; Malavira with whose name only History can associate the birth of Jainism, is regarded by those that follow him as only a prophet whose business has been to hand over to the world, the principles enunciated by his predecessors,-the twenty-three Tirtharikaras who lived before him. It is the object of the Four Volumes under review, to give an account of the life of this Sramana Bhagavan Mahavira, the 24th Tirtharikara of the Jains. The first of these, gives an account of fiffeen out of the twenty-six previous lives of Mahavira; and the second deals with the twenty-seventh life. The third starts the exposition of the Ganadhara-vada, an explanation of the doubts of the Ganadharas,-the eleven disciples of Mahavira. The fourth volume gives an account of the Ganadharas. The treatment of the subject is on the whole quite good, but statements like, "There is a reference of Risabha-deva, Ajitnatha aud Ari-isthanemi in Yaj. urveda" (Introduction to Volume III. p. 3) could hava been avoided. I cannot trace the word Ajitanatha iu the Yajurveda, in its Sukla or Taittriya recension. The words Risabha and Aristhanemi du occur in this Veda; but it is in the highest degree questionable whether these Vedic words mean what they connote in Jainism. Such defects apart, the volumes have their own distinct value By reason of the very antiquity of Jainism, of the profound influ. ence it exerted on Buddhism, and on Sankhya and Yoga, it is of very great interest to the student of Comprative Religion. This alone, should make works like these, which give an account of the "prophet" of this religion, extremely valuable. The author is to be congratulated on his useful undertaking. The appearance of the remaining parts of these foul volumes, is to be eagerly awaited. Adyar Madrass H. G.

Many thanks for all the four volumes of your valuable book sramana Bhagavan Mahavira. The volumes contain much intersting and important matter on different aspects of Jainism. I could read several portions from these volumes, and I am glad to find them very lucid, and is formative. It is a matter of great satisfaction that our religious heads are briniging out the treasures of Jainism in English, so that they may be easily available to all. These are undoubtedly authoritative. I am sure, those intersted in the religion and Philosophy of Jainism, will find these volumes very intersting and beneficial. Yours Sincerely (Sd) UMESHA MISHRA. -3Extract from Modern Review, March 1944 Presidential Address (Philosophy and Religion Section) delivered at the Twelfth All India Oriental Conference held at Benares Hindu Uiversity, Benards. (December 31-1943 and January 1 & 2. 1944) The Jaina Sadhus have been writing in Sanskrit for a pretty long time on Jaina thoughts. It is gratifying to find that they have lately begun to write in English also, to popularise their thoughts. This will enable us to have more authentic books based on original sources and traditions of the Sampradaya. It is our ffrst duty to preserve the traditions which also can guide us like a torch, in our scholarly pursuits to bring into light the hidden Page #236 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ treasures of thoughts. It is because we have lost tradition in several branches of our literature, that we are quite in the dark as to the correct interpretation of various important problems connected with them. I am glad to mention in this connection the effort made by Muni Ratna Prabha Vijaya of Ahmedabad. Under the common title, sramana Bhagavan Mahavira, he has brought out four volumes. The first part of Volume 1 deals with the twenty-six Bhavas (existenees) of Mahavira, after the relisation of Samyaktva ( Right Belief). The second volume contains an account of the twentyseventh Bhava of Mahavira as Vardhamana Kumara. The third volume treats of Ganadhara-tada, that is the explanation of the doubts of the eleven chief disciples of Mahavira, namely of Indrabhuti and others. The fourth volume is named Sthaviravali which contains an exposition of the stlaviras that is the old and highly respected learned ascetics. All the works are well annotated, translated, and explained. Every effort has been made to make these volumes useful and up-to-date. The expositions though very lucid, intersting, and informative, are sometimes more frivolous. To write much more than what is necessary seems to be a habit with the modern Jaina writer. For a scholardy work, brevity of expression should always be adhered to. From a Review of Books in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland 56 Qeen Anne Street, London W.

The first contas that portion of the Kalpa-sutra attributed to Bhadrabahu known as the Jinacaritra giving the life of Mahavira down to his leaving the worlds and is to be completed in a later volunie. The text is given in devanagari with transliteration, translation, and long quotations from other works. It has been divided up into chaptors, and the horoscope of Mahavira by Mr. M J. Doshi is inserted as Chapter 5. Professor Thaker has contributed an Introduction, and makes some intersting comparisons with Buddhist practices. It is unfortunate that, he relies too much on Max Muller and Rhys Davids without going to the texts. He quotes the five vows of Jain ascetics, and then instead of putting beside them, the ten rules of Budhist ascetics gives thc eight rules which Buddhist laymen keep on Fast-day, This is no real comparison, but we should like to know what the corresponding rules of Jain laymen are The volume of the Sthaviravali contains the lives of the eleven chief dissiples or Gaeadharas and four of the sthavrias, and is to be completed in a further volume. It appears to be complied from various partavalis with the texts transliterated and translated and contains much information on the Canon and such subjects as the marvellous attainments (Labdhis) of the ascetics. The third volume discusses important problems of Jain doctrine (on the Jiva of Atman, Karma, etc)., euch question being discussed with one of the disciples, The original prakrit, mostly in arya verse, is given with a chaya and transliteration and copious extracrs from the comifentary.
