So, they could remember everything just by listening. But, as the time passed the intellect of people started declining. So, the acharyas decided that all the scriptures should be written on paper for their preservance, otheriwse the scriptural knowledge would be totally demalished due to the weakening of memory day by day. On the other hand, many tender-hearted acharyas composed many scriptures by collecting elements from the Angasutras. The acharyas in the lineage composed Prakarana scriptures by collecting elements of various subjects fromthe Agam scriptures. many suck prakarana scriptures are existent today. Among these the knowledge of Jeevvichar, Navtattva, Dandak, Sangrahni, Three Bhashyas, Six Karmagranths, Kshetrasamas, Brihat Sangrahni etc. is very much essential to become familiar with Jain-dootrines. Even today the study of these Prakarna scriptures is widespread in the Jain Sangh The ascetics and nuns who don't have the right or ability for reading the Agamas can also become great shcolars of scriptural elements after studying the prakarana scriptures. By the knowledge of these scriptures, one's faith in Jainism increases and gets strengthened. A scholar of prakarna scriptures is neither amazed by the miraculous scientific inventions in the present age, nor he looses faith in Jainism. His soul becomes more and more pure virtues such as humility, graveness, tolerance etc. increase in his life. He becomes firm in executing religious activities. His indifference develops. As a result, he can attain good soul-prosperity. That's why the study of prakarana scriptures is very essential in the path of sould prosperity. I have attempted to put forth the collection of elements of prakaranas in the feet of the Sandh by the grace of gurudev. In this book I have tried to focus light on the elements of Jeev-vichar and Navtattva. After the completion of elements, the gaathas of the prakaranas and their titeral meanings are also given at the end for the benefit of the readers. The readers have to understand these elements from gurudev, cram them and revise them again and again. In this way only the knowledge of elements would become firm and stable. Formerly, this book was published in gujarati. But, nowadways I came in contact of many teenagers who couldn't or write gujarati. This was due to their education in english medium. Among these, many were tallented and had affection for religion in their heart. I wanted to enlighten their soulds also with the knowledge of elements. For this, english translation of the gujarati book Along with the knowledge of Sanskrit Grammar and logic scriptures, if one has learned the above mentioned prakarana scriptures, he can easily read the Agam scriptures. Those who lack the knowledge of these prakarana scriptures and in attaining their prefect hidden meanings, even if they are scholars of grammar and logic. Thus, in the absence of the knowledge of prakarana scriptures, one has to keep himself away from the true knowledge of Agamas. Page #3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ INDEX was very much necessary. Efforts were made for this and atlast an english translation was writeen, which is published in this book. It was been throughout checked by Sir Natvarlal shah of Vadodara. I am very grateful to him at his moment. No. Subject Page No 1. Elements of Jeev-vichar 2. I fimly believe that by the study of this book many people would attain the prefect knowledge of elements, they would strengthen their faith in Jainsim and develop emotions for attaining ascetism in their life. Gaathas and literal meanings of Jeev-vichar 3. Elements of Navtattva. 4. Gaathas and literal meanings of Nav-tattva. If any mistake has been left in this book due my lack of perfect knowledge or due to press-error and if anything has been written against Jainsim, I beg pardon for it, please, forgive me. I also request scholars to bring to my notice any errors seen inthis book, so that they canbe improved in the nect edition. - Acharya Hemchandrasuri Sixth day of the dark fortnight of the month Mrigsirsh in the Year V.S.2061, Pindwada.

Page #5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ JEEV-VICHAR JEEV-VICHAR Thus, there are eleven divisions. Each of them can be further divided into two types, namely Paryapta and Aparyapta. Thus, there are twenty two divisions of Sthavar. Beneath hells, there is ghanodadhi and beneath it there are layers of these two types of winds.) (5) VANASPATIKAAY - Livingbeings who have vegetation as their body are called Vanaspatikaay. SUKSHMA - When the living beings can't be been by our leather eyes, even if countless bodies of infinite living beings are assembled together, then they are called Sukshma. (They are widespread in the entire universe). They are of two types : 1) Pratyek Vanaspatikaay. 2) Sadharan Vanaspatikaay. Pratyek - When there is a single soul in a single body, the livingbeing is called Pratyek.

The earth on which we reside is Tirchhalok. TIRCHHALOK - Jambudweep is in the centre of the tirchhalok. It's circular in shape with a diameter of one lakh yojans (a measure to measure space). Surrounding it from all the sides is ringshaped Lavansamudra. Its breadth is twice the diameter of Jambudweep. Surrounding it from all the sides is ringshaped Dhatkikhand. Its width is twice that of Lavansamudra. Surrounding it from all the sides is ringshaped Kalodadhisamudra. Its width is twice that of Dhatkikhand. Surrounding it from all the sides is ringshaped Pushkarvardweep. Its width is twice that of Kalodadhisamudra. Surrounding it from all the sides is ringshaped Pushkarvarsamudra. Its width is twice that of Pushkarvardweep. THE EXTENSION OF MANUSHYALOK Jambudweep 1 lakh yojans Combining both the sides Lavansamudra 4 lakh yojans Combining both the sides Dhatkikhand 8 lakh yojans Combining both the sides Kalodadhisamudra 16 lakh yojans Combining both the sides Pushkarvardweep 16 lakh yojans Combining both (Half) the sides Total 45 lakh Yojans Combining both the sides Humanbeings dwell only in Manushyalok. They can go out of it with the help of labdhi (an extraordinary power) or with the help of celestial beings, but their births and deaths never occur there. JAMBUDWEEP Jambudweep is divided into six mountains and seven kshetras (landscapes). They are respectively as follows from south to north. - LANDSCAPES MOUNTAINS 1) Bharat kshetra 1) Laghuhimvant parvat 2) Himvant kshetra 2) Mahahimvant parvat 3) Harivarsh kshetra 3) Nishadh parvat 4) Mahavideh kshetra 4) Neelvant parvat 5) Ramyak kshetra 5) Rukmi parvat 6) Hiranyavant kshetra 6) Shikhari parvat 7) Ayravat kshetra Similarly, there are countless dweeps (islands) and samudras (oceans). The last island is Swayambhuramandweep. Surrounding it is the last ocean - Swayambhuramansamudra. MANUSHYALOK - In the midst of Pushkarvardweep there is a ringshaped mountain called Manushottar parvat. The area within it is called Manushyalok. Thus, there are two and a half islands (Jambudweep, Dhatkikhand, Half Pushkarvardweep) and two oceans (Lavansamudra, Kalodadhisamudra) in Manushyalok. Page #11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ JEEV-VICHAR 15 The landscapes and mountains in Dhatkikhand are double in number to those in Jambudweep. The number of landscapes and mountains in half Pushkarvardweep is similar to that in Dhatkikhand. KARMABHUMI - The landscapes where the activities of asi (use of weapons), masi (business) and krishi (agriculture) are in practise are called Karmabhumis or the landscapes from where the livingbeings can attain emancipation are called Karmabhumis. In Jambudweep there are three Karmabhumis, viz 1) Bharatkshetra, AKARMABHUMI - The landscapes where the yugliks dwel are called Akarmabhumis. In these kshetras a couple of male and female is born together. After childhood, they become husband and wife. When their life is not more than six months, they give birth to another couple. Their death is due to sneezing, yawning etc. without any pain. After death they become guests of heaven. They don't have to perform jobs, business etc. Owing to their good fortune, there are kalpavrikshas (trees which fulfil desires) in those landscapes. The yugliks receive all the necessary things such as food, clothes, utensils, ornaments, musical instruments, gems etc. from them, without any efforts. There are such six Akarmabhumis in Jambudweep. - 2) Mahavidehkshetra, 3) Ayravatkshetra. 1) Himvant kshetra 3) Devkuru 5) Ramyak kshetra 2) Harivarsh kshetra 4) Uttarkuru 6) Hiranyavant kshetra. In the centre of Mahavideh kshetra, there is Meruparvat. (the tallest mountain). Uttarkuru is in the north of JEEV-VICHAR Meruparvat and Devkuru is in the south of Meruparvat. Totally there are three Karmabhumis and six Akarmabhumis in Jambudweep. In Dhatkikhand, there are six Karmabhumis and twelve Akarmabhumis. Similarly, there are six Karmabhumis and twelve Akarmabhumis in Pushkarvardweep. 16 So, there are totally fifteen Karmabhumis and thirty Akarmabhumis in the two and a half islands. 5 5 5 5 5 NAMES OF FIFTEEN KARMABHUMIS Bharatkshetras (1 in Jambudweep + 2 in Dhatkikhand + 2 in Pushkarvardweep) Ayravatkshetras Mahavidehkshetras (1 in Jambudweep + 2 in Dhatkikhand + 2 in Pushkarvardweep) (1 in Jambudweep + 2 in Dhatkikhand + 2 in Pushkarvardweep) NAMES OF THIRTY AKARMABHUMIS Devkurus Uttarkurus (1 in Jambudweep + 2 in Dhatkikhand + 2 in Pushkarvardweep) (1 in Jambudweep + 2 in Dhatkikhand + 2 in Pushkarvardweep) Page #12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ JEEV-VICHAR JEEV-VICHAR 5 101 Garbhaj Paryapta Manushya 101 Gharbhaj Aparyapta Manushya 101 Sammurchhim Aparyapta Manushya. 303 types 5 Totally Harivarshkshetras (1 in Jambudweep + 2 in Dhatkikhand + 2 in Pushkarvardweep) Ramyakkshetras (1 in Jambudweep + 2 in Dhatkikhand + 2 in Pushkarvardweep) Himvantkshetras (1 in Jambudweep + 2 in Dhatkikhand + 2 in Pushkarvardweep) Hiranyavantkshetras (1 in Jambudweep + 2 in Dhatkikhand + 2 in Pushkarvardweep) 5 5 56 ANTARDWEEPS - From the eastern and the western ends of Laghuhimvantparvat and Shikhriparvat two-two pieces of lands in the shape of molartooth have projected in Lavansamudra. Totally there are eight such pieces. There are seven-seven islands on each of them. Thus, there are 56 islands overall. They are called Antardweeps. DIVISIONS OF MANUSHYA 15 Manushyas of Karmabhumis 30 Manushyas of Akarmabhumis 56 Manushyas of Antardweeps. 101 Total types Each of these 101 types are further divided into two subdivisions namely garbhaj and sammurchhim. Thus the total comes to 202. Again each of the garbhaj manushyas are further divided into two subdivisions - paryapta and aparyapta. The sammurchhim manushyas don't have any subdivisions because they are aparyapta only. Thus, the total of divisions of manushyas is 303. Q. Where are the Sammurchhim Manushyas produced and what are their features ? Ans. - Sammurchhim Manushyas are produced in urine, excreta, phlegm, dirt of nose, vomit, pus, blood, bile, semen, cough, mucus of nose, spittle, sweat, dirty places such as ditches of cities etc. When the abovementioned things get separated from a humanbody, an antarmuhurat (within 48 mins.) later countless sammurchhim manushyas are produced in them. Their life span is of an antarmuhurat. Their height is of angul (width of a finger) + countless. They die before completing the paryaptis proper for them. KILLING OF SAMMURCHHIM MANUSHYAS AND THEIR PROTECTION Leaving food after eating, removing urine and excreta in gutters, spitting spittle and phlegm anywhere in the way, putting a glass after drinking water again in the pot without drying it, countless sammurchhim manushyas are produced in those things after antarmuhurat. After their production the cycle of their births and deaths continues. So, everyone must be very careful to protect them. After eating one should clean the vessels with water, drink that water, dry the vessels with a piece of cloth, wash the piece of cloth with water in a vessel and pour the water on ground separately. One should go to toilet in open ground out of the village or city. One should remove urine in a spacious area so that it dries within fortyeight mins. Page #13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ JEEV-VICHAR 20 JEEV-VICHAR MANUSHYA LOK One should mix the spittle, phlegm etc. in sand. One should take water from a pot by a dry glass and after drinking water he should dry it. One should dry the clothes wet by perspiration. By practising such deeds one can save the sammurchhim manushyas, and thus save his own soul from their killing.

Page #26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ NAV-TATIVA 45 DESCRIPTION OF NINE ELEMENTS WITH A SIMILE OF LAKE 1) JEEV - A lake full of water of virtues such as knowledge etc. 2) AJEEV - Dirt assembled in the jeev-lake. 3) PUNYA - Dirt of good karmas. 4) PAAP - Dirt of evil karmas. 5) AASHRAV : Inlets for karma-dirt to enter the jeev-lake. 6) SAMVAR:- Lids to prevent the karma dirt from entering the jeev-lake. 7) BANDH - Assimilation of karma-dirt in jeevlake. 8) NIRJARA - Machine to destroy karma-dirt. 9) MOKSHA : Dirtless jeev lake after the destruction of all the karma-dirt. [1] JEEV Jeev is the base of virtues such as knowledge etc. Jeev is the enjoyer and enduror of joys and griefs. Pure jeev (soul) is compiled of infinite knowledge and faith. Sansari soul is bound by the bonds of karma. So, its virtues such as knowledge, faith etc. are hidden. The entire universe can be divided into jeev and ajeev. Still, punya, paap etc. are also important. So, they are considered as separate elements. 46 Nav-TATIVA When one says 'I am not a thief', it proves that there is some thing called thief in this universe. Similarly, when atheists say "We don't believe in jeev', it itself proves the existence of jeev. Similarly, after someone's death we say, "There is no soul in this body." This also proves the existence of jeev. Que :- Let the jeev exist in this Universe, but why should we consider it different from matter? Why shouldn't we consider jeev as some form of matter? A bubble arises from water and gets dissolved in it. Similarly, jeev arises from panchbhoot - searth, water, fire, wind, sky(space)] and gets dissolved in it. What is wrong if we believe so ? Ans - The panchbhoots are matter, while the jeev is an independent element, separate from matter, because the features of matter and jeev are different. The features such as - coolness etc. of water and bubble are similar. So, we can consider a bubble as a form of water. Features of jeev are knowledge, joy, misery, peace etc. Features of matter are colour, odour, taste, touch etc. So, we can't consider jeev as a form of matter. SOME POINTS PROVING THE EXISTENCE OF JEEV 1) Jeev is the base of knowledge, desire, joy, grief etc. 2) A constructor builts a building, similarly the constructor of the body is jeev. 3) The producer of extract, blood, hair, nail, bone etc. from grains is jeev. PROOFS_ABOUT THE_EXISTENCE OF_JEEV Atheists don't believe in soul. They deny the existence of jeev. This only proves the existence of jeev, because one can deny only those things which exist in the universe. 4) The body is a factory. The mind is an office. Message is delivered everywhere from there. Musical instrument is there in the throat. Heart is a machine.

NAV-TATIVA is a barn. Below it there is latrine. Below it there are two pillars. Jeev is the manager of this factory. 5) One doubts about jeev in a deadbody or ahteist also has doubts about jeev. So, existence of jeev is proved, because one can have doubts about a thing only which exists in the universe. No one ever doubts about trrr, because it doesn't exist in the universe.

Page #28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ NAV-TATIVA A pradesh can't be separated from Dharmastikaay etc. So, they don't have the fourth division of parmanu.
