-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ English Section Human Solidarity and Jainism The Impact of Nyaya and Vaisesika School on Jaina Philosophy Page #185 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Human Solidarity and Jainism (The challenge of our Times) The challenge of our Times Ours is the age of reason, science and technology. They have done great service to mankind by removing superstitions and false dogmas, by understanding the real nature of world as well as by providing the amenities of pleasant living respectively. Now-a-days, we, due to the tremendous advancement of science and technology have light-legged means of transportation; physical distances have no bars to meet the people of different nationalities, cultures and religions. Our world is shrinking and consequently we have been more interdependent in every sphere of our life as we were never before. But, unluckily and disdainfully, distances of our hearts are increasing day by day. Human race was divided in the past and is being divided at present also in the name of caste, colour and creed by so called those political, religious and social leaders, who want to serve their vested interest. We are becoming more and more selfish and neglecting the claims of greater goodness of mankind as a whole. The growth of scientific knowledge and outlook has destroyed our superstitions and false dogmas, but unfortunately and surprisingly it has shaken our faith in religious morality and spiritual values. Today we know more about the atom and atomic forces than the values needed for meaningful and peaceful life. This advancement of our knowledge could not sublimate our animal and selfish nature. Animal nature within us is still dominating our individual as well as social behaviour. Our life, so to say, is full of excitements, emotional disorders and mental tensions. Though, we are wordly pleading for peace, non-violence and co-existence, by heart we still believe in the law of jungle i.e. the dictum 'might is right'. The race of nuclear Page #186 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Human Solidarity and Jainism : 177 weapons of the powerful nations is a strong evidence of our belief in aforesaid dictum, which also alarms us that we are proceeding to formidable funeral procession of mankind. Racialism, castism, regionalism and sectarianism are a great curse to the present day human society. At present, religion as such is largely shown in the background and the political parties are claiming themselves as a true well-wisher of mankind. But, contrary to their promises, they are also sailing in the same boat of racialism, castism, regionalism and sectarianism. Actually narrow and selfish outlook of man gives birth 10 fanaticism and intolerance and leads to disintegration of human society. The immediacy, therefore, is to develop a friendly and harmonious outlook towards the members of other nations, cast and creeds. It is the only way to approach by which we can generate peace and harmony inside the human society. Today, what is needed for man is nothing but a complete integration with his own personality and with his social environment. Can Jainism meet this challenge of our times and save the human race from this sordid situation ? Before this question is answered, we must inquire into the root cause of disintegration and communal, racial and religious rivalries. Attachment and aversion: the causes of disintegration Among the causes, which are responsible for disintegration and sectionalism, the attachment is the principal one. Attachment in Jainism is considered as a binding principle. It is the cause of union. At the same time it is also responsible for separation or disintegration. Attachment and aversion are the twins; though they seem opposite but they are one and the same, like the two facets of a coin. Attachment emanates aversion and they, due to its disposition, cannot be separated from each other. Attachment unites us with some one, but simultaneously separates us from others. It is the attachment, which emerges from the concept of mineness and we cling to the notions Page #187 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 178 such as my nation, my province, my region, my caste, my race, my religion etc. Nationalism, regionalism, castism, racialism and the sectarianism are the born-childs of the joint-principle of attachment and aversion. From attachment follows "mine" and from aversion follows "alien" and this single concept of "mine and alien" is solely responsible for national communal, racial and religious rivalries. Jainism denies this established notion that the integration and harmony can be achieved on the emotional basis i.e. on the basis of attachment, love and affection (here the term love is used as a passionate love, which is an outer expression of attachment).' Jainism holds that the slightest, even pious, attachment towards the prophet, is also a hindrance to a seeker of truth and aspirant of perfection. It generates uncritical and biased outlook. Thus attachment and aversion (hatred) are the two great enemies of impartial thinking and behaviour. Intense attachment unfailingly generates blind faith in religious leaders, dogmas, doctrines and rituals and consequently religious intolerance and fanaticism come into existence. Attachment is also responsible for our narrow and selfish outlook. It results in nationalism, castism, racialism and sectarianism and divides human race into the smaller groups, while aversion turns itself into the hatred and rivalries among these smaller groups and thus both of them disturb integrity and solidarity of mankind. The Jainas therefore, laid stress on the elimination of attachment and aversion"; the root causes of selfishness and intolerance respectively. They firmly believe that the stable integration and solidarity of mankind can only be established on the rational grounds of equality and benevolent and co-operative nature of all sentient beings. The grounds for Human solidarity (a) Equality of Human beings Jainas strongly hold the equality of all human beings and profound the rational maxim "that which thou desire for thyself Page #188 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Human Solidarity and Jainism : 179 desire for others that which thou desire not for thyself, thou shall not desire for others also. This is the essence of teachings of the Jina." They further say just as suffering is not agreeable to you, it is so with other beings; endowed with regard and equanimity, be compassionate and co-operative to all beings as you are towards yourself. This Jaina concept of potential equality of all sentient beings is the core of Jaina-theory of non-violence and can serve as the basis for human solidarity and integration. Non-violence is nothing but to give an equal treatment to all sentient beings, of course, prominently to human beings. Non-violence is a regard for life, which is an essential condition for co-existence. (b) Human race is one Jainism does not discriminate between man and man on the basis of their caste, creed and colour. According to it, all barriers of caste, creed and colour are superficial. They vehemently declare the human race is one. In later period indeed the concepts of caste and varna are also crept into Jainism, but it was obviously the influence of Hinduism. Jainism, what we may say, neither proposes nor supports the concept of superiority or inferiority on the basis of caste and colour. In Uttaradhyayana it is clearly mentioned that a man is neither high nor low, because he is born some particular caste or lineage or due to his social, political or economic status, but it is the moral conduct that makes a man high or low. In its 12th and 25' chapters there are contemptuous criticism of varna system hierarchy and assumed superiority of Brahmins. It is clearly asserted that a real Brahmin is not one who is born in a particular lineage, but one who is completely unattached, talented and of good-conduct. It is not the lineage but the character, which is the determining factor of one's superiority." (c) The natural law of co-operation: The second but not the least motto of Jainism is the law of co-operation. For Jaina thinkers co-operation is the essential nature Page #189 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 180 of living beings." They strongly condemn the doctrine of 'struggle for the existence'i.e. 'living by killing'. They aver that the directive principle of our living is not the struggle but the co-operation. The dictum 'Live on others or living by killing' is not agreeable to them, simply because it goes against the judgment of our faculty of reasoning and commonsense. For them, the directive principle of living is not merely "live and let live", but "Live with others" or "Live for others". They argue if nobody has any right to take my life then on the same rational ground I have also no right to take other's life. Just I need other's co-operation for my existence, so I should also co-operate in other's living. For Jainas, not the struggle, but the co-operation is the law of life and only through the firm belief in and practice of this natural law we can integrate the nation and as well as mankind. It is the law of mutual co-operation on which the institutions of family and society stands. This concept of co-operation is a positive aspect of Jaina theory of non-violence. At present it is only the firm faith in the observance of non-violence, which can save the human race from disintegration. It is mutual credibility and belief in the equality of human being, which can restore the peace, and harmony in human society. Religious tolerance in Jainism Religious intolerance and sectarianism are also responsible for disintegration of mankind as well as nation. If we are inclined to human solidarity and national integration then, we should develop the concept of religious tolerance and religious co-existence and should give-up the idea that my religion is the only way to approach the ultimate. Jaina religion since its inception till modern age has been tolerant and respectful towards other faiths and religions. The Jaina Acaryas while opposing the different ideologies and religious standpoints, paid full regard to them and accepted that the opponent convictions may also be valid from a certain standpoint. Their well Page #190 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Human Solidarity and Jainism : 181 known theory of Anekantavada or Non-absolutism is the base of religious tolerance. If viewed from two different angles, according to this theory, both contrary views may be relatively true. Jaina thinkers accept that reality is a complex one. "2 The reality, which has many facets, various attributes and modes, in its completeness it cannot be grasped by us. It can only be viewed and understood from different angles. While every angle or viewpoint can claim that it gives a true picture of reality, each one only gives a partial and relative picture. On the basis of this partial and relative knowledge of reality, one has no right to discard the views of one's opponents as totally false. So the Truth-value of opponents, according to Jaina thinkers, must be accepted and respected. This pragmatic view of the Jains made them open-minded and consequently tolerant. Upadhyaya Yasovijaya, a famous Jaina Acarya of 17th cent. AD mentions. "A true non-absolutist does not disdain any faith and he treats all the faiths equally, like a father to his sons, for a nonabsolutist does not have any prejudice and biased outlook in his mind." 13 For Jainas, the door of liberation is open to all. One who can attain equanimity of mind, according to Haribhadra, will for certain get the emancipation whether he may be a svetambara ora Digambara or a Buddhist or any one else." About the means of liberation also they had broad-minded outlook. They were not of this opinion that their mode of worship is the only way of emancipation. For them, it is not the external mode of worship, but the right attitude and mental purity, which makes religious practices fruitful. From the earliest Jaina literature to the age of 20' cent. A.D., we come across many references of their religious tolerance. Sutrakstangamentions 'those who praise their own faith and possess malice against their opponents will remain confined to the cycle of birth and death'." In Isibhasiyaim, a Jaina text of third century BC Page #191 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 182 the Brahmanical and Sramanical saints are remembered as Arhat Rsi and their teachings are regarded as an Agama." Haribhadra - Jaina saint of eighth century AD was a staunch preacher of religious tolerance. In his works Sastra vartasamuccaya and Yogadrstisamuccaya, he has elaborately illustrated this liberal outlook. In the Yogadrstisamuccaya, he remarks that the ultimate truth transcends all states of worldly existence, called nirvana and is essentially and necessarily "single" even ifit be designated by different names, like Sadasiva, Parabrahman, Siddhatma, Tathagata etc." Not only in the general sense but etymologically also they convey the same meaning. In Lokatattvanirnayahe says "I venerate all those who are free from all vices and adorned with all virtues, be they Brahma, Visnu, Siva or Jina.'18 Haribhadra's crusade against sectarianism is unique and admirable in the history of world-religions. This view is further supported by various Jaina thinkers of medieval period such as Akalarka, Yogindu, Manatunga, Hemacandra and many others. While worshipping Lord Siva, the Jaina pontiff Hemacandra says: "I worship those who have destroyed attachment and aversion which are the seed or birth and death, be they Brahma, Visnu, Siva or Jina." "It is important that though Hemacandra was a Jain-saint, he composed a hymn in praise of Siva. This liberalism is also maintained by later Hindi or Gujarati Jaina writers like Anandaghana and many others. Anandaghana, a mystic Jaina saint of the 17th century A.D. remarks that just as ocean includes all the rivers so does Jainism all other faiths. Further, he beautifully expounds that all the six heretic schools are the organs of Jinaand one who worships Jinaalso worship them. 20 A Hindi couplet (20 cent.) reads: buddha vira jina hari hara brahma ya usako svadhina kaho/ bhakti bhava se prerita ho, yeha citta usi me lina raho// Along with these literary evidences there are some epigraphical evidences of religious tolerance of the Jainas. Some Jaina Acaryas such as Ramakirti and Jayamangalasuri wrote the hymns in the praise Page #192 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Human Solidarity and Jainism : 183 of goddess Camunda. Jaina kings such as Kumarapala, Visnuvardhana and others constructed the temples of Siva and Visnu along with the temples of Jina. 21 Historically, we also find that various deities of other sects are adopted in Jainism and worshipped by the Jainas. Acarya Somadeva in his work Yasastilakcampu remarks that where there is no distortion from right faith and accepted vows, one should follow the traditions prevailing in the country. Thus Jaina thinkers advocated religious tolerance, which is a necessary condition for national integration and human solidarity. 22 Meaning of Unity in Jainism Jaina philosophers firmly believe the concept of integration of unity, but for them unity does not mean an omnivores unity in which all its constituents lose their entity and identity. They believe in that type of unity in which all its integral parts conjoin each other and form an organic whole without loosing their independent existence and peculiarities. In other words integration or unity, as Jainas believe, means a harmonious co-existence of different nations, faiths and cultures in an organic whole. 23 Jaina thinkers assert that unity implies diversity. Unity and diversity are the two phases of the same reality. They find reality as unity in diversity. In Bhagavati-sutra Lord Mahavira mentions that 'I am one as well as many'." There is no class without individuals and every individual belongs to a certain class. We cannot imagine a cow without cow-hood and without cowhood a cow. The terms unity and diversity are relative, such as husband and wife. The term husband implies wife and the term wife implies husband, similarly unity implies diversity and diversity implies unity. So, whenever we talk about human solidarity it does mean the unity in diversity, for diversity is also an essential characteristic of mankind. Radial, cultural, linguistic, regional and religious differences are inevitable and essential. In Niyamasara Acarya Page #193 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 184 Kundakunda, a well known Jaina philosopher of Tamilnadu, says that there are different persons with their different activities or karmas and different levels or capacities, so one should not indulge in rivalries neither with other sects nor one's own sect. 24 Haribhadra also remarks that the diversity in the teachings of the sages is due to the diversity in the levels of their disciples or the diversity in standpoints adopted by the sages or the diversity in the period of time when they were preached or it is only an apparent diversity. Just as a physician prescribes medicine according to the nature of a patient, his illness and the climate, so is the case with diversity of religious teachings." So far as diversity in time, place, levels and understanding of disciples is inevitable, variety in religious ideologies and practices is essential. The only way to remove the religious as well as other conflicts is to develop a tolerant outlook and to establish harmony among different faiths, ideologies and cultures. Nationalism v/s Human Solidarity 26 Thus, in Jainism, unity means a co-operative co-existence of the constituents in an organic whole. So far as the problem of national integration is concerned Jainas support it theoretically as well as practically. In Sthanamgawe have a mention of Kuladharma, Gramadharma and Rastra-dharma. i.e. the duties pertaining to the family, the township and the nation. They also favour that if necessary the interests of the individual, the family and the township should be sacrificed for the common and greater good of the nation. For them, the concept of human solidarity has more importance than the concept of nationality. They are determined that for the solidarity and the greater good of mankind as a whole, we must get rid of the narrower concepts such as regionalism and even nationalism. If viewed from the whole mankind, nationalism is also a narrower outlook and a hindrance to human solidarity, so the mankind should get rid of the narrower concepts and should think of the greater good of mankind as a whole.

The concepts of Jaina metaphysics and epistemology can be traced as early as the history of Jainism begins. Not only Mahavira (6th cent. BC) but the tradition of his predecessor Lord Pars vanatha (8th cent. BC) also bears clear marks of the fundamental concepts of Jaina philosophy. Tradition reckons twenty-three prophets as having preceded to Mahavira, which takes us back to fabulous antiquity of the tradition. Parsvanatha, born at Varanasi was the 23rd Tirthankara. Thus, historically Jaina philosophy existed long before the emergence of Nyaya-Vaisesika schools of Indian Philosophy. Due to the earlier emergence of Jaina philosophy, we do not find any impact of Nyaya-Vaisesika school on the fundamental concepts of Jaina metaphysics and epistemology, such as Pancastikayavada, nine categories (Nava-tattva), six kinds of living beings (Sadjivanikaya) including five kinds of knowledge (Pancajnana). On these earlier concepts we can trace some impacts of earlier Upanisads, early Buddhism as well as other contemporary Sramanic traditions. Generally, Jainism and Buddhism are regarded as the schools emerged against the sanctity of Vedic lore and oppressive priest craft. But this is not true as both of the traditions have their independent origin. Though, independent of Buddhism, Jainism resembles it in several respects, e.g. in its repudiation of the authority of Veda, its pessimistic outlook on life and its refusal to believe in Supreme God. Being sister religions of the same Sramanic tradition, both have various philosophical, religious and ethical concepts as common. Both of the philosophical schools, being based more or less on the same theory of Vibhajyavada, Page #196 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Impact of Nyaya and Vaisesika School on Jaina ... : 187 discord the one-sided views of their contemporary thinkers. Buddha's approach being negative one, culminated in Sunyavada but his penetrating vision led him to proclaim that the truth lies in the middle path. He opined that any kind of extreme view was likely to give rise to one-sided opinion, which by creating obsession may obscure our vision. Mahavira's approach being positive culminated in Anekantavada i.e. theory of Non-absolutism. This nonabsolutistic approach of both the schools are totally absent in NyayaVaisesika schools. By the emergence of Nyaya-Vaisesika schools, the earlier phase of Jaina and Buddhist philosophy were well established. But this does not mean that Nyaya-Vaisesika philosophy has no impact on Jaina philosophy. It has certain influence on later established concepts of Jaina philosophy, which we shall discuss in this article. The history of the development of Jaina philosophy can be shown in following four phases: I. The Agamic philosophy - 5th cent. BC to 3rd cent. AD II. III. IV. The period of Logical presentation of Jaina philosophy and its theory of Anekantavada -4" cent. A.D. to 7th cent. AD The period of critical evaluation of other schools of Indian philosophy and - 8th cent. AD to 15th cent. AD The period of applying of Navya-Nyaya technique in Jaina philosophy - 17th to 18th cent. AD. Out of these five phases of the development of Jaina philosophy, the first phase may be called purely Agamic. One cannot trace any impact of Nyaya-Vaisesika schools on it. It was the second phase where some impacts of Nyaya-Vaisesika school can be traced on Jaina metaphysical and epistemological concepts. In the third phase, Jaina thinkers, while making a critical estimate of Nyaya and Vaisesika schools, adopted the Nyaya-Vaisesika concepts and also of their opponents. Jainas by synthesizing these opposite views Page #197 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 188 with their theory of Anekantavada evolved some new theories such as Sadasadkaryavada, Paratah-svatah-pramanyavada etc in support of their philosophy. In this phase, Jainas have vehemently criticized the philosophical doctrines of Nyaya-Vaisesika and pointed out their logical as well as practical weaknesses of their doctrines based on one-sidedness views. In the fourth and last phase, Jaina philosophers adopted the Navya-nyaya (Neo-logic) technique of Gangesa Upadhyaya (12-13th cent. AD) for sound and logical presentation of their philosophical doctrines. It was a new turn to the development of Indian logic. The Jaina scholars also could not escape from the powerful trend of this thought. This technique made a profound influence on Jaina Acaryas. It is established fact that no philosophy emerges in vacuum. It has some impacts of its earlier as well as contemporary philosophies either in a positive or negative form. In other words, either they accept the philosophical concepts of their earlier or contemporary philosophical schools with certain logical modifications, or reject them by showing their logical inconsistencies. Jaina thinkers had used both the techniques, but instead of total rejection, they synthesized them with their opponent's view. Thus, the Jaina doctrine is nothing but a synthesization of two conflicting opposite views. Jaina philosophers used this technique regarding Nyaya-Vaisesika school also. Some metaphysical concepts of Jaina philosophy which were established in the first phase of its development such as (1) the doctrine of Pancastikaya, (2) the nine categories (Nava-tattva), (3) the six types of living beings (Sadjivanikaya), (4) the eight fold karmas (Astakarma-prakrti) etc. have no impact of Nyaya-Vaisesika school. Similarly, on some ethico-religious concepts such as Caturyama dharma, Panca-mahavratas, four-fold or three-fold path of liberation (Triratna) and the concept of five types of knowledge (Pancajnana) etc. we do not find any impact of Nyaya-Vaisesika school. Though, in the 6th century BC of this first phase, Jaina Page #198 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Impact of Nyaya and Vaisesika School on Jaina ... : 189 philosophers logically presented these doctrines without assimilating the views of other contemporary schools on their own footings. The impact of other philosophical traditions on Jaina philosophy starts from the second phase i.e. after 2" century BC. In this period Jaina thinkers propounded the doctrine of six substances ($at-dravya) and explained the relationship between substance (Dravya), attribute (Guna) and modes (Paryaya). Though, the words such as sat, dravya and astikaya were already used in Indian philosophy for Reality, but originally they belonged to different traditions. The word 'sat' belongs to Vedic tradition, while the word dravya was used by Nyaya-Vaisesika. Similarly, the word astikaya originally belongs to the Jaina tradition but later on Jaina thinkers used all these three words for Reality. Etymologically, these three words connote three different meanings. The word 'sat' means that which exists without changing, while the word 'dravya' means that which exists with changes. The word astikaya means that which exists with extension in space. The Jaina doctrine of Sad-dravya was a new development but really there was nothing new in this doctrine of six substances except the addition of kala (time) as a substance along with the five astikayas. It was a later development of the doctrine of pancastikaya. The acceptance of the word "dravya" in Jaina tradition seems to be an influence of Nyaya-Vaisesika philosophy. According to Jaina philosophy the number of the substances is six while Vaisesika school accepts nine substances. In the list of both these schools akasa, kala and atman (jiva) are common. Akasa and atman are also included in the list of pancastikaya. Here, only inclusion of kala (Time) may be considered as an impact of Vaisesika school. It is worth to note that in the Svetambara tradition even up to the seventh century AD, kala was not accepted as an independent substance by some of the scholars. According to them kala is only a mode (4484) of jiva and pudgala (matter). The debate whether time can be regarded as an independent substance or not, begins from 3 century AD, before the formulation Page #199 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 190 of Tattvarthasutra and differences in this regard continued up to the period of Visesavasyaka-bhasyai.e. 7 century AD. Regarding definitions of dravya, guna and kala, we find some similarities in Uttaradhyayana-sutra, Vaisesika-sutra as well as Tattvarthasutra. Scholars are of the opinion that the Tattvarthasutra and its autocommentary have some influence of Vaisesika-sutra and Yoga-sutra. When we talk of the impact of Nyaya-Vaisesika school on the metaphysical doctrine of Jainism, we should not forget that Jainas have of course borrowed some of the terminologies/ideas of NyayaVaisesika school but they incorporated them in their own way with required modifications and not as it is. For example, regarding substance, which possessed of guna(attributes) and paryaya(modes) Jainas are very clear in their concept that guna and paryaya are not two different entities as the Nyaya holds but they are two aspects of the same Reality and they are interchangeable in different relations. Similarly, Jaina also not admit the destruction of all gunas with the destruction of a dravya and the emergence of all the gunas a new with every new dravya, as the Nyaya holds. So far as the impact of Nyaya school on Jaina epistemology is concerned, Jaina philosophers have adopted some ideas of Nyaya school in Toto and some ideas in their modified form. As I have already discussed, the doctrine of five-fold knowledge (pancajnana) has its origin in the philosophy of Lord Parsva (8" cent. BC) that is why we do not find any impact of Nyaya School on this doctrine. Even in Tattvarthasutra (3"cent. AD), while establishing these five types of knowledge as pramana, we do not trace any conceptual impact of these schools on it. In the beginning of Christian era, when the discussions regarding the nature and types of pramanas took place in different schools of Indian philosophy; the Jaina thinker Umasvati defined those five types of knowledge or knowledge itself as pramana. Tattvartha-sutra accepts only two types of pramanai.e. pratyaksa (direct) and paroksa (indirect) and satisfy himself by dividing these five types of knowledge into two. At the Page #200 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Impact of Nyaya and Vaisesika School on Jaina : 191 prima-facie it shows an impact of Vaisesika School on Jaina epistemology but in my humble opinion it would be a wrong supposition. Here the similarity is only regarding two broad categories or the numbers of Pramanas and not in the concepts itself. For Jainas the knowledge itself is pramana but for Nyaya-Vaisesika pramana is the means of knowledge (a fa o). Secondly, for Umasvati, the meaning of pratyaksa (direct knowledge) and paroksa (indirect knowledge) are totally different from that of Nyaya's definition of pratyaksa and paroksa. Umas vati maintains that the knowledge acquired through sense organs and mind is not a direct knowledge, but it is an indirect knowledge (paroksa). On going through Tattvarthasutra, one can observe that though Umasvati also adopted some concept of epistemology prevalent that time, but he explained it according to his own Agamic tradition. The first impact of Nyaya School on Jaina epistemology can be traced in the canonical works of later period (3rd - 4th century A.D.) or in the late incorporated works of early canonical works. The Jaina theory of pramanas takes it birth from the scattered ideas found in the canonical works. In the Agamic period or the first phase, the five-fold division of knowledge, which later on considered as pramana, remained pure and unalloyed. In the second stage when the idea of two-fold classification came into existence, particularly in Niryukti literature and Tattvarthasutra, it was certainly due to external influence, yet the spirit of Agamas remained dominating. For the first time, in Anuyogadvara-sutra five-fold division of Agamic tradition goes into background and the four-told division of the Nyaya School came into prominence. Here, the Jaina thinkers adopted the view of Nyaya School in Toto. The four-fold pramanas -Pratyaksa, Anumana, Agama and Upamana, are mentioned in various canonical works such as Samavayanga, Bhagavati, Anuyogadvara, etc. in the name of hetu (), vyavasaya or pramana. In the canonical works, we find mention of four-fold as well as three-fold divisions of pramanas as of Nyaya and Samkhya School respectively. Siddhasena Divakara also followed this three-fold Page #201 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 192 division of pramana in his Nyayavatara (4" - 5' cent. AD). Another impact of Nyaya School on Jaina epistemology is seen in Nandisutra (5" Century) where the sense-cognition is included into pratyaksa (Nandisatra-4) following the Nyaya tradition. Later on Jaina scholars such as Jinabhadragani Ksamasramana and Akalanka designated it as `perception according to the common usage' (samvyavaharika pratyaksa). Regarding the five organs (panca-avayavas) of inference (anumana) Jaina thinkers are also agreed with Nyaya school. But in Niryukti literature we come a cross with ten organs of inference along with above-mentioned five organs. Though the concept of five organs is common to both the traditions, but the idea of ten organs is a peculiarity of Jaina tradition only. Similarly, due to the influence of Nyaya School, Jaina thinkers also adopted the threefold division of inference (319419) such as purvavat (949), sesavat (97990) and samanyato-drsta (31144g). In the Jaina canonical works of later period, we find mention of this classification, which shows the impacts of Nyaya School on Jaina epistemology. The last, but no least, major influence of Nyaya School on Jaina epistemology is the adoption of Navya-nyaya technique of Gangesa by the two most versatile Jaina scholars- Upadhyaya Yasovijaya (171" century AD) and Vimaladasa. Yasovijaya's Anekantavyavastha written in the neo-nyaya style helped the reestablishment of Anekantavada. Similarly, the Jaina-tarkabhasa and Jnanabindu were two important contributions to the Jaina Pramanasastra. Vimaldas's Saptabhargitarangini a treatment of Saptabhangi (doctrine of seven fold predications) is the most celebrated work of Jaina logic written in the same style. Some traditional Jaina scholars may be reluctant in accepting the Nyaya impact on Jaina philosophy but in my humble opinion, it would be against the intellectual honesty. First of all we should decide the chronology of the development of different philosophical schools as well as philosophical thoughts honestly and then the mutual influence be traced on the basis of chronology.
