Acharya Vinobaji has brought out the essence of all the religions and their religious works such as the Essence of Christianity, Navasarhita of Dhammapada, Kuranasara, Bhagvata Dharma Sara, Essence of Vedas, Essence of Manusmeti etc. He also wanted to bring out the essence of Jaina Religion, prepared by Jaina Monks. He consented to go through the collection. Inspired by him respected Sri Jinendra Varmiji undertook the responsibility to prepare its first draft. Initially it was published as Jainadharma Sara. Then incorporating the comments and suggestions therein of monks and scholars, a new compilation entitled 'Jinadhamma' was published. Finally, an assembly was held on 29-30 November in 1974, in Delhi, attended by the Jaina Acharyas and monks, scholars and laymen, representing all the Jaina sects. It is in this assembly that Samana-Suttam took its present form. With the inspiration of Acharya Vinobaji I (Radha Krisna Bajaj) contacted, Acharyas and monks of all the Jaina sects, with the draft prepared by Jinendra Varniji. I am very grateful to Acharya Tulsiji, Yuvacharya Mahaprajna, Muni Nathmalaji, Acharya Vidyanandaji and Acharya Susil Kumarji who co-operated whole heartedly. Acharya Janakavijayaji was able to give little time for it. Acharya Anand Rsiji, Upadhyaya Amarmuniji, Acharya Dharmasagarji, Acharya Vijaya Samudrasuriji, Muni Santa Balji and Muni Yasovijayaji all gave their co-operation in some form or other. We had blessings of Acharya Ramachandra Suriji also. Sri Kanjiswami also supported us. It is mentioned in religious texts that 'Sarvesamavirodhena brahmakarma samarabhe' 'sarveSAmavirodhena brahmakarma samArabhe' that is a work ought to be performed with the congregation of all. It is a matter of great Page #8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (iv) pleasure that in its compilation and publication we had cooperation from all and opposition from none. During the course of last two thousand years, it was for the first time that an unanimous work was published on the eve of 25th centenary of Nirvana of Lord Mahavira. Saint Vinobaji remarked that impact of Mahavira on his mind was second only to the Bhagvad Gita. After the Assembly of 1974, in April 1975, the first edition of Samanasuttam with Hindi translation was published. Its second edition was published in May 1975, just one month after the first. Third edition was published in 1982. In all 15,000 copies of Hindi editions have been published. The demand for its English translation arose after some time. To bring out an edition with appropriate and upto mark English translation, we have been striving for last twelve years. We have to be very careful in the translation of a religious text to avoid contradiction. First of all Dr. K.K. Dixit translated it into English. He was entrusted with the task on the advice of Padmabhusana Pt. Dalsukhbhai Malvania. Mr. Justice T.K. Tukol also translated it, on the suggestion of Honourable vice-President of India Sri B.D. Jatti. Both the drafts were handed over to Dr. Sagarmal Jain, Director, Parsvanatha Sodhapeeth, Varanasi in accordance with recommendation of Late Chimanabhai Chikubhai Shah. On the basis of both the drafts he corrected the translation and prepared this final draft. The draft prepared by him is being published now. I am very thankful to all of them. I appeal to the learned readers to write us, about the errors in it, to enable us to correct those in ensuing editions. I find that the publicity of Samanasuttam was not at desired level during last 15 years. As far as the English edition of Samanasuttam is concerned it was undually delayed. Respected Vinobaji and Sarva Seva Sangh have entrusted me the responsibility of bringing out the English Edition. I am extremely sorry for this delay. Page #9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (v) I wish that Jaina society should take the responsibility of its publication and circulate lakhs of copies of their precious text. The copies of samanasuttam should be with all the temples, monks, scholars and laities. Like Bhagvadgita each and every house ought to keep it as an essential one for daily reading. Sarva Seva Sangh will willingly hand over the responsibility of its publication to Jaina Society with one reservation that no change should be made without prior and explicit approval of prominent Jaina Acharyas of Svetambara, Digambar, Terapanthi and Sthanakavasi Jaina sects. I will also like to thank Dr. Harihar Singh, Lecturer, Ancient History. B.H.U. who transliterated into Roman, Prakrita gathas of Samanasuttam which was lost unfortunately. It is the Roman transliteration by Dr. Ashok Kumar Singh, P.V. Research Institute, which is appearing with the text of the English edition. He has also done proof-reading. My thanks are due to him also. My sincere thanks to M/s. Ratna Printing Press for fine Printing.

Date 7-12-74. Auspicious-minded. Lover of Religion Sri Acharya Vinobaji. "Jaina Dharma Sara" and its new form "Jinadhamma" have been compiled bearing in mind your timely suggestion based on equanimity of thought. In this task of compilation, we have received the co-operation of Sri Jinendra Kumar Varniji and other scholars. An assembly was organized due to the untiring efforts of Radhakrishna Bajaj, for Sarva Seva Sangha. All the Acharyas, monks and scholars who participated in the Assembly endorsed your suggestion and brought out a book entitled "Samanasuttam" acceptable to the entire Jaina Community. It has been regarded as a great achievement during the 2500th Year of the Nirvana of Bhagavan Mahavira. The Assembly met on the 29th and 30th November, 1974 and the text was recited therein. Critical observations, reviews and thoughtful comments were received from the Acharyas, Monks and scholars. The responsibility of critical revision was finally entrusted to the monks and the co-operation of Varniji was placed at their disposal.

Page #13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ SATISFACTION (Vinoba) There have been many events of satisfaction in my life. Perhaps, the best of the satisfactions, the final one, came to me at last this year. I had often requested the Jainas that the essence of the Jaina philosophy should be available in the same manner as that of the Vedic religion which was available in the Gita in about seven hundred verses and that of Buddhism in the Dhammapada. This was a difficult task for the Jainas, as they have many traditions and many books. Thus there are the Bible and the Quran, however big in size they might be, they are one. But among the Jainas, there are two: the Svetambaras and the Digambaras, apart from some others. I have been frequently telling all of them that their monks should mee together, discuss and bring about an universally acceptable essence of Jainism for all Jainas. At last, 'a fool' by name Varniji came forward and the views of Baba appealed to him. He is studious, and with great labour, he has also compiled a Dictionary of Jainas technical terms. He published a book entitled Jaina DharmaSara. He printed a thousand copies of the book and sent them to Jaina scholars and also to the scholars outside the community. On the suggestions made by the scholars, he dropped some verses, added some and after doing all that, he published a book "Jina-dhamma". An Assembly was convened on the persistence of Baba in order to hold discussions thereon; monks, acharyas and the other scholars including some house-holders, those participated therein, numbered nearly three hundred. After frequent discussions, they changed its name, form and finally prepared by unanimous consent, a book entitled "Samanasuttam" in Ardhamagadhi took its shape. There are 756 verses. The figure 'seven' is very auspicious for the Jains. If 7 and 108 are multiplied, the result is 756. So many verses were selected by unanimous consent. It was decided that the book should be Page #14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (x published on Chaitra Sukla 13, the date of the birti: anniversary of Bhagavan Mahavira which fell on 24th April this year, it was to be published in the most auspicious manner. The essence of Jainism was to be available throughout India on that day under the title of "Samanasuttam". It will be continued to be read in future by Jainas and non-Jainas so long as Jainism continues to be in existence as also the Vedic religion and Buddhism continue to be alive. A very great thing which could not be achieved during the last thousand or fifteen hundred years has been achieved. Baba became merely an instrument but Baba fully believes that it is ali the grace of Bhagavan Mahavira. I confess that the Gita has had a tremendous influence on me. Barring the Gita there has been no other influence on my mind greater than that of Mahavira. The reason for it is that Baba whole heartedly accepts the command of Mahavira. His command is "become a votary of truth". Today whoever rises high, he becomes a votary of truth. The heritage of a Votary of Truth was conferred personally on Baba by Gandhiji; Baba knew who he was, not a votary of truth but one who accepted the truth. There is in every individual an element of truth; that is why human birth becomes meaningful. One ought to accept that element of truth that is found in every religion, every sect and in all human beings. We must all become the votaries of truth; this has been the teaching of Mahavira; that is the influence on Baba apart from the influence of the Gita. When I look beyond what has been said in the Gita, I see no difference between the two. 214 ER Brahma-Vidya Mandir. Pawnar (Wardha). 25-12-1974. (In the handwriting of Vinobaji). Page #15 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ INTRODUCTION The compilation of this book by name 'Samanasuttam' was undertaken on the inspiration of Acharya Vinobaji. As a result of that inspiration, the text was read in the Assembly which accorded its unanimous approval. This is a significant historical event. The basic foundation of all religions in the world is - the Atma and the Parmatma, the soul and the Supreme Soul. The grand edifice of religion stands on the pillars of these two principles. Some religions of the world are believers in the existence of the soul along with the existence of God; some religions are atheistic. Those who believe in the doctrine of the existence of God, regard him as the Creator, Protector and Regulator of the Universe, a God who is all powerful Supreme Soul. Everything in the Universe is dependent upon Him. He is called the Brahma, the Creator, the Supreme Father and so on. According to this tradition, whenever there is increase of irreligion or religion deteriorates, God incarnates Himself on earth and protects the world after conquering the evil-forces; thereby he sows the seeds of righteousness. Tradition of non-existence of God. The second tradition is one which believes in the existence of the Soul but not of God; as a creator of the universe, it believes in the independent progress of the soul. The Soul reaches the highest position after attainment of supreme purification by destruction of attachment or indulgance and hatred, and acquisition of complete detachment. It is an eternal existence and self-regulated. He is his own friend and foe. Jainism follows this philosophy which has an independent and scientific outlook. This tradition is known, in brief, by the name of Sramana-culture. The Indian tradition, of believers in the existence of God, is known as the Brahmana-Culture. Buddhism Page #16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (x11) is another Indian religion which also follows the philosophy of non-creation of universe by god, but believes in the cycle of birth and death. Antiquity The greatness or the utility of a religion does not depend upon its antiquity or its recent origin. If some religious tradition, besides being ancient, has been alive since long, has remained active and progressive, has been successfully helpful in ethical advancement, and inspired and assisted long in cultural enrichment, it is a great religion. The antiquity of such religion and its continued importance are indicative of the inherent nature of its eternal and universal principles. The tradition of Jainism, from the point of view of its principles both on conduct and thought, goes very deep beyond comprehension. Historians have so far recognised fully the truth of this position and that Tirthankara Mahavira is not the founder of the religion. He was preceded by many Tirthankaras. He merely reiterated and rejuvenated that religion. It is correct that history has not been able to trace the origin of the Jaina religion; but the historical evidence now available and the results of dispassionate researches in literature have established that Jainism is undoubtedly an ancient religion. References to Watarasana Muni, Kesi and Vratya-ksatriya in the Rgveda, Srimad Bhagavata and other famous books have become available now. The Jaina history contains references to the 63 Salakapurusas (the Supreme Personages). These Salaka Purusas lived during each of the ancient periods of time called a cycle of two parts, one the "avasarpinikala" and the other "Utsarpinikala". They each inspired the people to follow religion and ethics during the course of the advancement of human civilization. The Tirthankaras occupy the highest position among the Salaka-purusas. During the present period of Avasarpinikala, the 24 Tirthankaras were born during the fourth portion of that period; the first of them is Rsabhadeva Page #17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (xiii) who was the son of King Nabhi and queen Marudevi. He is designated as Adinath, Adibrahma, Adisvara etc. The last of the Tirthankaras, Mahavira lived about 2500 years ago. Buddha Tathagata was his contemporary. The 23rd Tirthankara Parsvanath preceded Mahavira by 250 years; he was the son of Afvasena, the King of Varanasi. The Buddhistic scriptures mention Mahavira as Niganthanataputta. The Parsva's tradition has been also mentioned as Caturyama Dharma (religion of four vows). Mahavira was the representative of Parsva's tradition. If one were to consider the uninterrupted flow of time, neither Rsabha is the first nor Mahavira, the last. This tradition is without a beginning and without end - who knows how many twenty-four Tirthankaras have gone by and how many will come in future? Viewed from the point of cultural evolution, it would be apparent that from the point of spiritual stand-point, there is not much difference between the Vedic and Sramanic cultures; but the difference between the two from the popular view-point, in respect of principles, conduct and faith, appears to be quite clear. The two cultures have influenced each other to a considerable extent; there have been exchanges between the two while the social circumstances have almost remained the same. The difference that is evident is not such as is not perceptible. Besides, it is very helpful in understanding the levels of advancement in human civilization. In the rich ancient literature of India, we get ample evidence of the mutual exchange and influence that seem to have taken place between the two cultures and traditions. Even in one family, people with different traditions used to follow their respective modes of religious worship. Doctrine of the Soul. What we call the Jaina Religion today, must have had some other name in ancient days. It is true that the word 'Jaina' is derived from the word 'Jina'; again the word 'Jaina' is relatively new. During the period of Mahavira, 'Nirgrantha or Page #18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (xiv) 'Nirgranthapravacana' was the indicative of the word 'Jaina religion'. During that period of Parsvanatha, the religion was being called Sramanadharma. At the time of Aristanemi, the 22nd Tirthankara who preceded Parsvanath, it was called 'Arhatdharma'. Aristanemi was the cousin-brother of Srikrsna, the Karma-yogi (the propounder of activism) Salakapurusa. In fact, the service of the cow and the spread of use of milk was an auspicious step in the direction of establishing a non-violent social order. In the Bihar region, Jaina-Dharma is still popular as Arhat-dharma. The KingSaint Nami was from Mithila and hailed from the family of Janaka. The Jaina scriptures contain beautiful account of his spiritual practices. There are many changing pictures of different names found reflected on the curtains of history; but this much can be said that the original doctrine of this religion, of its tradition and its culture remains today what it was in the form of a seed, viz., Atinavada and Anekantavada. On the fertile soil of Atmavada, the Kalpa-vrksa (tree) is continuing to bear fruit. Monks of the Jaina religion are called 'Sramana" even today. The word Sramana is still in use as suggestive of labour (srama), equanimity (samata) and subdued-passions (Vikara samana). The meaning of Jaina Religion is the pathway to welfare, preached or propounded by Jina. He is called Jina who has achieved victory over the passions of his body and soul, namely external and internal. The greatest enemies of the soul are attachment, hatred, delusion and other passions. Therefore, the word Jaina maintains one meaning, that it is not indicative of any caste. He is a Jaina who follows the path shown by Jina or follows it for the sake of self-realization. Conquest of Attachment and Realization. The aim of the Jaina religion is attainment of complete conquest of attachment, and realization. Conquest of attachment and realization is auspicious; it will bring in bliss and by attaining it, man can achieve the position of the Arhat in the Page #19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (xv) other World. This victory over attachment becomes possible by a harmonious accomplishment of the three jewels of Right Faith, Right Knowledge and Right Conduct. It is the path of happy combination of Faith, Knowledge and Conduct by following which man can attain salvation or perfection. Faith, Knowledge and Conduct together can bestow perfection on man. The primary or the basic teaching of Jainism is that right knowledge should be acquired by looking at mundane things with an eye of right faith and that the same should be translated into conduct in life. However, the pivotal point of entire conduct and thought is attainment of conquest over attachment. Even the greatest riches of the world are futile in the face of conquest of attachment. Conquest of attachment in an everincreasing degree by constant endeavour is regarded as conducive to the highest welfare of the inner-most soul in both the states, whether one is in a state of involvement or detachment or of a house-holder of a monk. But the path of attainment of conquest of attachment cannot be reached without the aid of an attitude of many points-of-views. This doctrine of many points-of-views will show the right path of liberation by creating in an individual an inclination towards detachment when he is inclined towards a mundane life, or by exposing the hollowness of mundane life when an individual is in a state of detachment. Ahimsa or non-violence Non-violence is the foundation of Jaina ethics. The observance of non-violence is not possible without an attitude of many points-of-view. Because from the Jaina point of view, a person can be non-violent even when violence is committed, or even when committing violence. According to Jainism, commission of violence or non-violence is dependent upon the mental condition of the door, not on the act. If the violence that is taking place outside is to be regarded as violence, then none can be non-violent because the entire world is pervaded by living creatures and there is constant violence to them going on. Page #20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (XY!) Therefore, he who conducts himself with the utmost caution is non-violent in his thought; hence he is non-violent; and he who does not observe caution in his active daily life, there is violence in his mental state so even if no violence is actually committed by him, he would be ethically violent. All this analysis is not possible unless one possesses the many points-of-views. Hence a person who possesses an attitude of many points-of-view is regarded as being possessed of right faith, and it is the person possessed of right faith that can acquire right knowledge and become capable of right conduct. He who has no right attitude cannot have right knowledge and his conduct also cannot be of right type. Hence righteousness or right faith has specii significance in the Jaina faith; that is the foundation-stone to the path of liberation. Mundane life is a bondage. The soul is involved in this bondage from times immemorial; he has forgotten his real nature on this account; he regards it as his real nature and continues to find pleasure in it; it is this forgetfulness that is responsible for his bondage. He will realize this mistake only when he discovers that his nature is endowed with infiniteconsciousness, that his strength is greater than what is seen in mundane life, that he is the treasure-house of infinite knowledge, infinite faith, infinite bliss and infinite power, it is only when he becomes alive to this faith that he will achieve right attitude and then he will try to achieve firmness of conviction about his real nature through his right conduct. Hence the pathway of Jaina ethics is the royal road that leads to the state of conquest of attachment in accordance with right knowledge. Anekanta : Viewed from the real point of view, even the highest knowledge that is acquired by an embodied soul in this vast world is limited, imperfect and one-sided. It is not possible for such persons to comprehend the infinite qualities of an object simultaneously, let alone the expression of it which is far more Page #21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (xvii) difficult. The inadequacy of language and the limitations of the meaning of words create conflicts and disputes now and then. The ego of man further accentuates the matter. The doctrine of Anekanta paves the way for harmony and removal of conflicts. There is an element of truth in every statement andit is possible to dissolve the conflict in a straightforward manner by understanding that element of truth. He who is not obstinate or persistent in his own point of view can solve easily almost every problem. Every person lives under the vital influence of Anekanta but he does not know that he lives the very light which illumines his life. So long as the sight is obscured by the veil of persistence, it is not possible to get a proper perspective of an object. The doctrine of Anekanta proclaims the independent existence of an object. In the world of thought, Anekanta is the tangible form of Ahimsa. Whoever is non-violent shall be the possessor of Anekant view of life and whoever possesses the Anekanta view of life shall be non-violent in thought and action. The present form of Jainism as is available to us was inspired by the teachings of Mahavira. It is his religious code that is in vogue today. Mahavira brought about a synthesis between religion and philosophy. It is the harmony between knowledge, faith and conduct that can lead man towards liberation from misery. Action without knowledge or knowledge without action are both futile. The practice of truth that is known and the knowledge of the truth that is practised-it is only when both combine together that there can be fruitful result. Nature of substance-Dharma The nature of an object (or substance) is Dharma - this is the most significant contribution of Jaina philosophy - vatthu sahavo dhammo. Every substance in this world behaves according to its own nature. Its existence is attended with origination, sustenance and destruction. No substance, whether it possesses consciousness or is immobile, departs from its Page #22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (xviii) nature. The form of existence always sustains it; due to its changing nature, it is always subject to constant modifications. The mansion of Jaina philosophy stands on this triple foundation. The significance of Jaina philosophy is that the world-organization is expounded on the strength of this triple character. It is clear from the existence of this triple character. It is clear from the existence of the six substances that this world is without a beginning and without an end, and that, there is no special being or power that is its creator, preserver or builder. There can be no room for inequalities in society like classdistinctions or caste-distinctions when once the existence of soul is accepted on the basis of space, time and nature of the substance. In such circumstances, it was possible for Mahavira, the conqueror of attachments and the seer of principles, to say in this mundane world that equanimity is Ahimsa, and that nonpossessiveness consists in not entertaining any sense of attachment or of ownership. Truth is contained not in sacred books but in experience; brahmacarya or celibacy consists in walking along the path of the Supreme Soul. Through action alone, a person becomes a Brahmin; through action alone, a person becomes a Ksatriya; through action alone, a person becomes a Vaisya; through action alone, a person becomes a Sudra. Neither tradition nor apparel, neither money nor strength neither power norwealth, neitherknowledge norbooks, can afford any protection to a person devoid of character. No protection can be available to a person by performance of various rituals for propitiation to please gods and goddesses or the different powers in nature. Self-realisation, self-knowledge and self-absorption-absorption in the bliss of one's own soul, alone can bring about liberation to man. This is certainly the right-faith. Mahavira was a Nirgranth in the true sense-making a distinction between an object of possession and possession, he was devoid of a body, though embodied. The atmosphere was surcharged with his speech, which was devoid of words, though comprehensible to everyone, pouring nectar.

Fulfilment is always dependent upon the capacity of a devotee. It is for this reason that two divisions have been made in the Jaina path of conduct: House-holder's conduct and Monk's conduct. The rules of conduct prescribed for a householder are easier than those prescribed for a monk. Because he has not renounced his house-hold and remains occupied with his occupation, a house-holder always remains conscious of his conduct and his aim is to progress towards the ethical code prescribed for a monk. When the inherent capacity of the soul of a house-holder increases and when his power of restraint over the perturbations of attachment, hatred etc. and control of passions like anger etc. goes on increasing, he progresses gradually upwards step by step to march over the path of a monk. A house-holder reaches the state of a monk by observing the twelve vows without any transgressions and crossing the eleven stages (pratimas). Really speaking, the ethical rules of conduct prescribed for a house-holder form the foundation for and are complementary to the ethical rules prescribed for a monk. It is worthy of mention that the entire ethical discipline of Jainism is self-oriented, and a systematic and a gradually progressive prescription of ethical codes capable of leading upwards is available. Jainism does not merely preach morality or rules of conduct from the point of view of mutual relationship in life. There is no place for external rituals, popular beliefs, or false beliefs about gods and preceptors, as it is directed towards the achievement of spiritual strength. When observance of the small vows etc. gives an inspiration to a house-holder to become a spiritual-seeker, he discharges a unique role in the conduct of affairs of the society. Introducing the Book. "Samanasuttam" is an orderly and brief compilation of the essential principles of the Jainas' religion and philosophy. There are four parts and forty-four sections in the book. There are 756 verses altogether. Page #24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (xx) The book has been composed or compiled with verses in Prakrit which can be sung and are fit for regular recitation. The Jaina Acaryas have called the Prakrit verses as sutras. The Prakrit word 'sutta' means sutra, sukta or also sruta. The word 'sutra' is popular in the Jaina tradition. Hence the book has been given the title of "Samanasuttam" (sramanasutram). The collection of the verses has been made ordinarily from the ancient texts. Hence this Samanasuttam is itself as valid as the scriptures, The first part is Jyotirmukha or source of illumination: therein an individual gets a glimpse of internal life by rising above the plane of mundane or external life of 'eat', drink and make 'merry'. He understands the futility of sensuous enjoyment, of the cause of misery, birth and death in mundane life, and develops detachment towards mundane life. He understands that attachment and hatred are his greatest enemies and begins trying to subdue them in every possible way and takes recourse to forgiveness, compassion, sincerity, contentment and other virtues by replacing anger, pride, delusion and greed. He restrains his passions and controls the senses, covetous of pleasures. He looks upon all living creatures as on himself, begins to experience the sensations of pleasure and pain of others and renounces possessiveness according to his capacity, taking into consideration the needs of others. He remains ever wakeful towards himself and others, as also begins to march fearlessly on the path of emancipation with perseverance. The second part deals with the Path of Emancipation. On being initiated into it, all doubts, sensations born of fear, desires as also false beliefs are all washed off by the trio of right faith, knowledge and conduct or devotion, knowledge and action. The dualism of what is desirable and undesirable comes to an end and there will be a sudden outburst of equanimity and affection. One becomes detached towards worldly attachments and the mind becomes full with peace. Even if he remains in his house, he remains as detached as a lotus in water remains Page #25 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (xxi) waffected by it. He does nothing, even if he is carrying on his siness and occupations. The house-holder gradually relies on the religion of the monk and his mind ascends progressively the different steps of knowledge, detachment and meditation; the mind rises higher and higher till all its inclinations become prooted; the sun of knowledge begins to illumine with all his rightness; the mind rises and falls with the tides in the ocean of Cliss. So long as he is associated with the body, he remains in the state of an Arhat or a liberated being though embodied, continues to move about giving his message of welfare to the world; and when he is freed from his body or his life comes to an end, he attains the status of a Siddha, only to become absorbed in the ocean of bliss. The third part deals with Tattva-darsana or faith in principles; in it are contained the expositions on the seven principles like soul, non-soul etc. or the nine fundamental principles including merit and demerit. After giving an account of the six substances like soul, matter-atom, there is an exposition of the theory of creation of the universe by the combination and division of these substances, as also its eternity and endlessness. The fourth part deals with Syadvada (or the Doctrine of Seven Predications). Besides, there is a brief account of Anekanta. This is the fundamental principle of Jaina logic. This section contains a heart-captivating, si'mple and brief account of deep and serious topics like prama na, naya, niksepa and saptabhangl. Finally the book ends with a prayer to Mahavira. It can be said that the four parts or the 756 verses contain an all-sided and brief account of the Jairia religion, an exposition of its principles and ethical code of conduct. The Jaina literature is vast and there are many books available on each of the subjects. Surely, it is ncessary that one should make a comprehensive study of those book:s for a deep understanding of the subjects. This is a representativia book acceptable to all for the purpose of having a general acquiaintance with the doctrines of the Jaina religion, its code of ethics and the process of Page #26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (xxii) gradual spiritual advancement of life, in a traditional but devotional manner.

The opposite of it is called the real view-point which takes a comprehensive view and takes into consideration the thing as a whole. (36) From the stand-point of vyavahara-naya it is said that a knower is possessed of conduct, faith and knowledge, but in fact (that is, from the stand-pointof niscaya-naya) he possesses neither knowledge nor conduct, nor faith but is purely of the form of a knower.

(47) Just as no substantial thing can be found in a bananaplant even after a minute search, similarly there can be no happiness in the objects of senses even when minutely looked for. (48) From the real point of view the pleasures enjoyed by emperors and the lord of gods are painful as they are momentary and agonizing in their effect, therefore it is proper to remain away from them. (49) Just as a person suffering from itches considers the scratching of his body to be a pleasure though really it is painful, similarly people who are under the spell of infatuation consider the sensuous enjoyment to be pleasurable. (50) He who is immersed in carnal pleasures becomes perverted in knowing what is beneficial and conducive to spiritual welfare, becomes ignorant, dull and infatuated and entangles himself in his own Karmas like a fly caught in phlegm. (51) Everyone knows and thinks about the pains of birth, old age and death, and yet no one develops disregard for the objects of sense. Oh: how tight is this knot of conceit?

As a result of birth, he gets a body; the body will have its senses; the senses will lead to their respective enjoyments which in turn will give birth to attachment and aversion. Thus is the soul involved into cycles of births and deaths - that is why it is said by the supreme Jinas, that the soul as such is beginningless and endless and still it has an end (due to its death). (55) Birth is painful, old age is painful, disease and death are painful. Oh: painful, indeed, is worldly existence, where living beings suffer afflictions. 6. PRECEPTS ON KARMAS (56) If a thing is possessed of a certain definite form, then to consider it otherwise, to act as if it were otherwise, or to describe as otherwise is perversion.

(59) As Karmas pursues the doer, the doer must suffer misery all alone and neither his castemen, nor friends, nor sons, nor brothers can share his misery. (60) Just as a person is free while climbing a tree but once he starts falling then he has no power to check it. Similarly a living being is free in accumulating the Karmas but once accumulated it is beyond his power to control their fruition. (61) At sometimes (i. e. at the time of fruition) the living beings are controlled by Karmans while at other times (i. e. at the time of doing) the Karmans are controlled by them, just as at the time of lending the money the creditor is in a stronger position, while at the time of returning it, a debtor is in a stronger position. (62) Karma as such is of one type. But it is of two kinds also, dravyakarma and bhavakarma. The dravyakarma is a mass of physical particles and the inherent capacity of it is bhavakarma (and this capacity is originated from the attachment and aversion of the self). (63) He who has gained victory over his senses and meditates on the very nature of soul, is not bound by Karmas; how can the prana which is made of Karmic matter follow such a being? (That is his soul gets freedom from transmigration).

(66) The nature of these eight karmas resembles respectively a curtain, a door-keeper, a sword, wine, wooden fetters, a painter, a potter and a treasurer. Explanation: This verse explains the nature of the eight kamas thus: (1) The knowledge-obscuring karma, is like a curtain which prevents a person from knowing what is inside a room; (2) The darsanavaraniya karma prevents a person from apprehension like a door-keeper who prevents one from seeing a dignitary; (3) Vedaniya karma is the cause of pleasure and pain like a sword smeared with honey which while licking becomes the cause of pleasure due to honey and pain as there is chance of an injury to the tongue; (4) Mohaniya karma causes delusion as does wine; (5) The Ayu karma keeps the soul tied down to a body, just as the wooden-fetters on legs keep the person tied down to a place until they are renoved; (6) Nama-karina cause the soul to enter different kinds of bodies, just as a painter paints different pictures; (7) Gorra-karma is responsible for birth in high or low families just as a potter prepares small or big pots; (8) The Antaraya karma prevents a person from doing good deeds just as treasurer prevents his master from making gifts and donations.

Due to my delusion, I have not been able to know the path leading to spiritual progress; so, I have been wandering since long in this formidable and terrible forest of mundane existence (68) Owing to the delusion, the attitude of a soul becomes perverted and he does not relish religion, just as a person suffering from fever cannot relish even a sweet. (69) A perverted soul, who remains completely in the grip of passions or intense moral impurities and due to this regards soul and body as one; is an extrovert. (70) Could there be a person with greater wrong faith than the one who does not lead his life according to the precepts of Jina? He develops wrong beliefs by creating doubt in others (about the right path of Jina).

PRECEPTS ON RENUNCIATION OF ATTACHMENT (71) Attachment and aversion are seeds of karma; karma originates from infatuation; karma is the root-cause of birth and death. Birth and death are said to be sources of misery. (72) Even the most offended and powerful enemy does not cause as much harm as uncontrolled attachment and aversion do. (73) Since living beings caught in the grip of miseries of birth, old age and death, have no happiness in this mudane existence, liberation is, therefore, worthy of attainment. (74) If you are desirous of crossing this terrible ocean of mundane existance, Oh: virtuous one, better catch quickly a boat of penance and self-control. (75) One should not be under the influence of attachmentaversion which are formidable defects, destructive of right faith, right conduct and other virtues.

(77) That which secures freedom from attachment must be pracused with utmost respect; he who is free from attachments secures release from mundane existence; while, one who is not, continues to wander in it endlessly. (78) He,who endeavours to recognise that the cause of his misery lies in desires and not in the objects of senses, acquires the equanimity of mind. When he ceases to desire the objects (of the senses),his thirst for sensual pleasure will become extinct. (79) From the real pont of view the body and the soul are distinct from each other, that is why shake off the attachment to the body because it is the cause of suffering and pain. ((80) To attain liberation,one must block all the passages of karmic influx and also curb the activities of one's sense organs and must annihilate all passions, all this (must be achieved) through the three modes of activity 1.e. mind, speech and body and in a three-fold manner of doing, causing to be done and approving the action.

Even the gods bow down before him whose mind is ever preoccupied with religion. (83) The essential nature of a thing is called dharma. The ten virtues, i.e. forgiveness etc., are the ten foms of dharma. The three jewels, i.e. right faith, right knowledge and right conduct, constitute the dharma (religion), To render protection to the living being is also called dharma. (84) Supreme forgiveness, supreme humility,supreme straightforwardness; supreme truthfulness, supreme-purity, supreme self-restraint, supreme penance, supreme renunciation, supreme non-possessiveness and supreme celibacy-these constitute the ten-fold Religion.

(88) A monk who does not boast even slightly of his family, handsomeness, caste, learning, penance, scriptural knowledge and character observes the religion of humility. (89) He alone is really worthy of proud who is careful not to insult other people. A person who merely boasts, has no virtues, cannot command respect. (90) Every one has been born several times in high families as well as in low families; hence none is either high or low. After knowing this, who will feel proud of taking birth in respectable or high family?

(93) A person suffers misery after telling a lie, before telling a lie and while telling a lie-thus suffers endless misery, similarly a person who steels or a person who is lustful also suffers misery and finds himself without a support. (94) Every beneficial advice given by a group-fellow though unpalatable to the mind at first, proves wholesome in the end, like a medicine which is better in taste becomes agreeable in effect. (95) A person who speaks the truth becomes trustworthy like a mother, venerable like a preceptor to his people and dear to all others as their relatives. (96) Truthfulness is the abode of penance, of self-control and of all other virtues; indeed truthfulness is the place of origination of all other noble qualities as the ocean is that of fishes.

(104) He alone can be said to have truly renounced everything who has turned his back on all available, beloved and dear objects of enjoyment possessed by him. (105) That monk alone acquires the virtue of nonpossessiveness, who renouncing the sense of owenership and attachment and controlling his own thoughts, remains unperturbed by the pair of opposites like happiness and misery. (106) Verily I am alone, pure, eternal and formless and possessing the qualities of apprehension and comprehension except these there is nothing, not even an atom, that is my own. (107 & 108) We, who have nothing of our own, reside happily and live happily. As Nami-who had renounced his kingdom and become a saint, said when Mithila was in flames nothing of mine is being burnt there.

(149) Whether knowingly or unknowingly one should not kill living beings-mobile or immobile in this world nor should cause them to be killed by others. (150) Just as pain is not agreeable to you, it is so with others. Knowing this principle of equality treat other with respect and compassion. (151) Killing a living being is killing one's own self; showing compassion to a living being is showing compassion to oneself. He who desires his own good, should avoid causing any harm to a living being. (152) The being whom you want to kill is the very same as you are yourself, the being whom you want to be kept under obedience is the very same as you yourself. (153) It is said by Lord Jina that absence of attachment etc. is ahissa (non-violence) while their presence is himsa (violence).

Page #87 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ SOURCE OF ILLUMINATION 59 (154) Even an intention of killing is the cause of the bondage of Karma, whether you actually kill or not; from the real point of view, this is the nature of the bondage of Karma. (155) Non-abstinence from hissa or an intention to commit it, is himsa. Therefore careless activity through passions amounts to violence (hirsa) (156) A wise person is one who always strives to eradicate his Karmas and is not engaged in himsa. One who firmly endeavours to remain non-violent is verily a non-killer. (157) As per scriptures the self is both violent and non-violent. He who is careful is non-violent and who is careless is violent. (158) No mountain is higher than the Meru; nothing is more expansive than the sky; similarly know that there is no religion equal to the religion of ahimsa in this world. (159) Oh: Mortal being ! be free from fear and you let others be free from fear. In this transitory world, why do you indulge in hissa?

PRECEPTS ON VIGILANCE (160) This is with me and this is not, this is done by me and this is not; even while a man is fondling thus, he is removed away by death; how can one be careless in this state? (161) He who sleeps, his many excellent things of this world are lost unknowingly. Therefore, remain awake all the while and destroy the Karmas, accumulated in the past. (162) It is better that the religious-minded should awake and the wicked should sleep; this is what Jina said to Jayanti, the sister of the king of Vatsadesa. (163) A wise person of sharp intelligence should be awake, even amongst those who sleep; he should not be complacent, because time is relentless and the body is weak, (So) he should ever be vigilant like the fabulous bird, Bharanda. (164) Carelessness is the cause of Karma i.e.influx. Vigilance stops it. He who is invigilant is ignorant, and he who is vigilant is wise.

(166) There is fear from every direction for an invigilant person; while there is no fear for a person who is vigilant. (167) An idle person can never be happy and a sleepy person can never acquire knowledge. A person with attachments cannot acquire renunciation and he who is violent cannot acquire compassion. (168) Oh: human beings; always be vigilant. He who is alert gains more and more knowledge. He who is invigilant is not blessed. Ever blessed is he who is vigilant. (169) A compassionate person who is always cautious while lifting and putting a thing, while urinating and excreting, and while sitting, moving and sleeping, is really a follower of nonviolence.

He who is aware of these two facts acquires education. (171) Pride, anger, negligence, disease and laziness these are five factors on account of which one fails to receive education. (172 & 173) Not indulging in jokes,ever controlling oneself, not revealing the secrets of others, not lacking good manners, not exhibiting bad manners, not being very much greedy, not being angry and being committed to truthfulness-these are eight traits of character on account of which one is called a (true) lover of education. (174) A person acquires knowledge and concentration of mind by studying scriptures. He becomes firm in religion and helps others to acquire that firmness. Thus through the studies of scriptures he becomes absorbed in the conemplation of what is expounded therein.

(178) The Jivas (souls) are of three kinds:(1) the extrovert soul, (2) the introvert soul and (3) the supreme soul. The supreme souls are of two kinds: (i) the Arhats (the worthy souls) and (ii) the Siddhas (the liberated). (179) He, who is led by his senses is extrovert or Bahiratma and he who exercises self discretion (i.e.not guided by external factors) is introvet or Antaratma. The self who is liberated from the pollution of the Karmas is paramatma.

(181) Lord Jinesvara has said "relinquishing the extrovert attitude by your mind, speech and body realise the antaratma and contemplate on the supreme soul (paramatma)." (182) Transmigration within the four species of living beings, birth, old-age, death, disease, sorrow,a family, a place of birth, a status in the scheme of Jivasthanas, a status in the scheme of marganasthanas none of these (really) belongs to a soul. (183) The soul has no colour; no taste, no smell, no touch, no gender like male, female or neuter; on bodily form and no bone-structure. (184) All these states of beings are said from the empirical point of view. From the real point of view, all souls including the mundane souls are perfect in nature.

It is indescribable and posessed of consciousness, it is not amenable to inferential cognition, and is devoid of bodily structure.

Really 'right faith' is the path and liberation is the result. (193) The faith, the knowledge and the conduct together constitute the path of liberation;this is the path to be followed. The saints have said that if it is followed in the right way it will lead to liberation and otherwise it will lead to bondage. (194) If a wise person ignorantly considers that by doing pure (i.e. religious) performance he will be free from sorrow then he is the follower of an alien view i.e.wrong faith. (195) An abhavya Jiva (a soul inherently incapable of attaining liberation),even if he observes the five vows, the five types of vigilence, the three fold self-control, the code of morality and the various modes of austerities as laid down by the Jina lacks right understanding and possesses wrong faith. (196) It is preached by the Jina that all the actions of a person who does not know the three jewels from the empirical and real points of view,are wrong.

Page #105 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 77 PATII OF LIBERATION (197) An abhavya Jiva even, if he develops faith in the religion, has confidence in it has a liking for it and performs it,does all this for the sake of attaining some worldly enjoyment and not for the sake of annihilating his karmas. (198) An auspicious disposition towards worldly gain secures merit (punya) while an inauspicious disposition towards worldly gain acquires sin (papa) but one, who remains undisturbed by alien things and enjoys one's own pure nature, can put an end to one's misery. (199) He who aspires for merit,i.e.worldly well being aspires for life in this mundane world; merit (punya) is capable of securing a pleasant state of existence; but it is cessation of merits (punya Karma) only that leads to liberation. (200) Know that an inauspicious Karma (results in) misery while an auspicious Karma in (worldly) happiness; but how can it be said that auspicious Karma results in happiness when it leads to mondane existence? (201) Just as fetter whether made of iron or gold binds a person similarly Karma whether auspicious (Punya) or inauspicious (Papa) binds the soul. (202) Therefore, do not develop attachment for or association with either of them. One loses one's freedom by attachment to or association with what is evil.

There is great difference between one who stands in shade and the other standing in the sun. (204) Through merit (punya karna) one may attain cakravarti-hood (i.e, supreme kingship) where great honour is bestowed on one by the Vidyadharas (demigods), gods and men through praising with folded hands and offering of garlands, but certainly he will not attain the right understanding braised by a bhavya (i. e. soul fit for salvation) (205) The men of merit (punyatma) after enjoying his divine status in heaven at the end of his life span will be born as a human being with ten types of worldly enjoyment. (206) & (207) After having experienced for the entire life incomparable enjoyments appropriate to human beings one attains the right-understanding that leads to emancipation on account of the religious performances undertaken by one in one's earlier births. Having realized that four things (viz.human birth, listening to scriptures, having faith in scriptures, appropriate practical endeavour) are difficult to attain, one observes self-restraint and having annihilated one's past karmans through penance, one becomes for ever a soul emancipated.

PRECEPTS ON THREE JEWELS (a) The three jewels understood from the stand-point of vyavahara-naya (practical view-point). (208) To have faith in the existence of (substances like) dharma etc.is right faith, to have acquaintance with the texts called Anga and Purva is right knowledge, to perserve in the performance of penance is right conduct. These three constitute the pathway-to-emancipation understood from the standpoint vyavahara-naya. (209) One understands by his (right) knowledge the nature of substances, develops belief in them by his (right) faith and controls himself by his(right) conduct and purifies his soul by penance (1.e.,austerities). (210) Knowledge without right conduct, acceptance of the asceticism without right faith and observance of austerities without self-control are all futile. (211) Without right faith, there cannot be right knowledge; without right knowledge, there cannot be right conduct; without right conduct, there cannot be release from Karmas; without release of Karmas there cannot be nirvana (salvation). (212) Right knowledge is of no use in the absence of right conduct, action is of no use in the absence of right knowledge. Certainly, in the case of conflagration the lame man burns down even if capable of seeing while the blind man burns down even if capable of running away.

This is like a lame man and a blind man come together in a forest and manage to reach the town with the help of one another. (b) the three jewels 'understood from the standpoint of niscaya-naya (real view-point). (214) The self is characterised by right faith and right knowledge is merely an assertion (by vyavaharanaya). In reality what transcends all points of view is said to be the Self (Samayasara) (215) From practical point of view faith, knowledge and conduct should always be cherished by saints.But they must know that from real point of view these three are the self. (216) It is said from the real point of view that, the soul who comprises all the three together, and does not act otherwise or depart from this even in the slightest degree, follows the path of Liberation. (217) Right faith means a soul engrossed in itself; Right knowledge is knowledge of the real (nature of the soul; Right conduct consists in faithful pursuit of that path.

PRECEPTS OF RIGHT FAITH (219) Right Faith is the core of the three jewels; it is the root of the great tree of liberation; it has to be understood from two point of views-real point of view (Niscaya-naya) and empirical point of view (vyavaharanaya). (220) Lord Jina has said that from the empirical point of view, Right Faith is faith in the existence of the soul and the other principles (Tattvas), from the real point of view, the soul itself is Right Faith. (221) From real point of view true monkhood constitutes righteousness and righteousness constitutes true monkhood.But from the practical point of view, the causes of righteousness are called Right Faith itself.

Page #115 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ PATII OF LIBERATION (222) Those persons who are devoid of Right Faith will not obtain Right Knowledge, even if they practise severe penance for a thousand crores of years. 87 (223) Those who have renounced Right Faith are deprived persons. There is no liberation for a person devoid of Right Faith. Those who have renounced Right Conduct may attain liberation but not those who have renounced Right Faith. (224) He who has Right Faith is certainly pure; he who is possessed of Right Faith attains liberation. A person devoid of Right Faith does not attain the desired result (i.e. liberation). (225) If on the one hand there be the attainment of right faith and on the other the attainment of (mastery over) all the three world regions, then the former attainment is preferable to the latter. (226) What is the use of saying more; it is due to the magnanimity of Right Faith that the great personage and the Bhavya (those worthy of attaining emancipation) have attained liberation in the past and will do so in future. (227) Just as it is on account of its very nature that a lotusleaf remains untouched by water, similarly a righteous person remains really un-affected by passions and by the objects of sensuous enjoyment.

A person acting in a drama does not in fact become transformed into that character. A right believer always thinks of his soul and remains unaffected by what goes on around him.

PRECEPTS ON RIGHT CONDUCT 101 (A) Practical view-point (262) Right Conduct from the practical view-point is to practice austerities from practical view point. Right Conduct from the real view-point is to observe austerities from the real view-point. (263) Know that Right Conduct consists in desisting from inauspicious activity and engaging in auspicious activity. Jina has ordained that conduct from the practical point of view consists in the observance of vows, acts of carefulness (Samiti) and of control (gupti) . (264) A person, even possessing scriptural knowledge will not attain emancipation if he is not able to observe strictly the activities of austerity and self-control. (265) Though a person knows the right path yet fails to reach his destination due to inaction or absence of favourable wind for his boat (pota); similarly knowledge will not achieve the desired fruit in the absence of virtuous deeds.

(267) A person of right conduct triumphs over a learned person, even if his scriptural knowledge is little; what is the use of wide study of scriptures for a person without right conduct? (B) Real view-point (268) From the real point of view, he, who is blissfully absorbed in his own soul to know his soul with the aid of his soul, becomes a person of Right Conduct; that ascetic attains emancipation. (269) An ascetic who eradicates his punya Kamas (nerits) as well his Papa Karmas (sins) undoubtedly acquires right conduci-this is said by those who are free from Kurmus (1.e. the Jinas). (270) He who out of attachment develops a favourable or unfavourable attitude in respect of an alien object, renounces what constitutes his own conduct (i.e. Svabhava) and adopts what constitutes alien conduct (1.e.

(283) He who has acquired auspicious conduct after renouncing all sinful activities cannot, obtain purity of his soul, if he has not freed himself from delusion. (284) Just as inauspicious thoughts are obstructed by auspicious conduct, auspicious conduct by pure conduct; hence performing these (latter two types of act) one after another let a yogin mcditate on his own soul. (285) If there is any damage from the real point of view in one's Right Conduct, then there would be damage in Right Knowledge and Right Faith, but if there is any damage to right conduct from the empirical point of view then there may or may not be any defect in Right knowledge and Right Faith. (286 & 287) After building a citadel with his Right Faith, gate-bars with his austenties and self-control, strong ramparis with his forgiveness, invincible gaurds with his three controls (of mind, speech and action), a monk arms himself with a bow of his penance, pierces through the garb of his Karma, wins the battle and becomes liberated from this mundane worldly life.

PRECEPTS ON SPIRITUAL REALIZATION (288) One should meditate on one's soul after acquiring control over his diet, sitting and sleep in accordance with the precepts of Jina, and Knowledge gained by the grace of the preceptor. (289) Having become enlightened through an allcomprehending knowledge, having given up ignorance and delusion, having put an end to attachment and aversion one attains emancipation which is of the form of supreme bliss. (290) Devoted service bestowed on the preceptor and the elders, an absolute avoiding of the company of ignorant people, self-study, lonely residence, proper consideration of the meaning of scriptural texts, patience-these constitute the pathway to that emancipation. (291) A monk observing the austerities and desirous of eqaninity of his mind, should partake of limited and unobjectionable (pure) food, should have an intelligent companion well-versed in the meaning of scriptures and should select a secluded place for his shelter and for meditation. (292) Persons who take healthy, controlled and less diet do not need physicians to treat them; they are physicians of themselves (that is, keep themselves healthy and pure).

But as a whole monks are superior in conduct to the house-holder. (299) So long as I am not able to take leave of home and become a monk with a shaven head, I accept, in the presence of monks, beloved of gods, to observe the twelve kinds of vows of a house-holder, viz. five small vows (Anuvratas), and seven disciplinary (sikshavratas) vows as prescribed for a layman. (300) The religion of a house-holder consists in the observance of the five small vows and the seven disciplinary vows. A house-holder who observes all or some of the vows becomes a partial monk (i. e., a pious house-holder). 23. PRECEPTS ON HOUSEHOLDER'S RELIGION (301) He is called a Sravaka (householder) who, being endowed with right faith, listens every day to the preachings of the monks about right conduct (302) A pious householder is one who has given up (eating) five udumbar-fruits (like banyan, Pipala, fig (Anjeer), kathumara and pakar), is free from seven vices and is called Darsana Sravaka, a man whose intellect is purified by right faith.

(304) Meat-eating increases pride, pride creates a desire for intoxicating drinks and pleasure in gambling; and thus springs up all aforesaid vices. (305) Scriptures of other religions have described that sages moving in air have fallen to the ground on eating meat; therefore meat-eating should be avoided. (306) A person loses control over himself by drinking intoxicating liquors and commits many censurable deeds. He experiences endless miseries both in this world and in the next. (307) A person who has firm devotion towards Jina like the steady mountain Meru, inclination for renunciation and is free from defects of character (salya) will have no fear in this world. (308) Since even an enemy approaches a man of humility with friendliness, a house-holder must cultivate humility of three kinds: (in thought, speech and action).

(310) One should not tie, injure, mutilate, load heavy burdens and deprive from food and drink any animal or human being with a polluted mind by anger or other passions (these five are the transgration (aticara) of the vow of Ahinsa. (311) Refraining from major type of falsefood is the second vow; this major type of falsehood is of five kinds; speaking untruth about unmarried girls, animals and lands, repudiating debts or pledges and giving false evidence. (312) Making a false charge rashly (or without consideration), divulging any one's secret, disclosing the secrets confided to by one's own wife, giving false advice and preparation of a false document or writing - these should be avoided. (313) One should desist from: buying stolen property, inciting another to commit theft, avoiding the rules of govemment, use of false weights and measures, adulteration and preparation to counterfeit coins and notes.

A righteous and pure-minded person should not exceed the selfimposed limit in the acquisition of lands, gold, wealth, servants, cattle, vessels and pieces of furniture, (317) A person who has accepted the vow to limit the possessions) should remain contented (with what he has). He should not think for himself, "This time I have resolved to possess a little (amount of property) unknowingly but in future I will not do that i. e. if it will be necessary I will accumulate more. (318) Resolving not to ravel beyond the self-determined limits of ten directions (digvrata), refraining from purposeless activities (Anarthadandaviramanavrata) and resolving not to cross the fixed regional boundaries for the purpose of sensuous enjoyments (desavakasika) - these are three gunavratas (i. e., the three meritorious vows). (319) Lord Mahavira has said that the first Gunavrata in the religion of a householder is digvrata, according to which one should limit his activities (for the purpose of business and enjoyment of the senses, etc.) to certain regional boundaries in the upward, lower and oblique direction. (320) Know that the second Gunavrata (desavakasika gunavrata) is not to visit any particular geographical region where there is possibility of violation of an accepted vow (i. e. to cross the fixed regional boundaries for the purpose of sensuous enjoyment).

Page #151 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ PATII OF LIBERATION 123 (321) The third gunavrata consists in refraining from a futile violent act which might be one of the four-types - - viz. (1) entertaining evil thought (2) negligent behaviour, (3) lending to someone an instrument of violence and (4) advising someone to commit a sinful act. (322) Meaningful activities (of himsa etc.) do not cause so much bondage as useless activities. The meaningful activities (of himsa etc.) are only performed under some circumstances (i.e. the needs of time etc.) but it is not the case of useless activities. (323) A person observing the vow of (Anarthadanda viramana) should refrain from amorous activities, mimicry, abusive talk; garrulity, keeping instruments and weapons of violence, excessive sexual enjoyment and possessing in excess the things of daily requirement. (324) Setting limit to the consumable and unconsumable objects of sensuous enjoyment, practising the mental equanimity (Samayika), offering food etc. to the monks, guests and other needy persons and performing fast alongwith the religious set called pausadha, all these are known as four disciplinary vow). (325) The first disciplinary vow (i. e. bhogopabhoga viramana) is of two types - viz. that in respect of enjoyment and that in respect of occupation. The former consists in refrainment from eating the infinite souled vegetables (i.e. bulbous roots), fruit containing microscopic organism which are called udum. baras and flesh etc., the second is refrainment from such trades and industries which involves violence and other sinful acts. (326) Aimed at refrainment from sinful acts, the only auspicious religious act is samayika. Hence considering it to be something superior to a householder's ordinary acts, an intelligent person ought to perform samayika for the sake of one's own welfare.

(328) If a householder thinks of other worldly matters (than his self) while practising samayika, he will become engrossed in distressful concentration; his samayika will be fruitless. (329) Posadhopavasa involves abstinence from food, from embellishment of the body, from sexual union and from voilence. It is of two types- viz. partial and total and performing posadha of the latter type one must necessarily perform samayiku. (330) A householder who offers pure food etc. to the monks in a proper manner and according to the rules and the needs of place and time, observes the fourth disciplinary vow (called Atithisamvibhaga) (331) Donation is of four types-viz. that of food, that of mcdicine, that of scriptural teaching, that of assurance against fear. And in the scriptural text 'Upasakadhyayana' this fourfold donation is declared worthy of performance. (332) A householder, who gives food in charity beconies praise-worthy, what is the good of inquiring about the fitness or unfitness of the person receiving the charity?

(339) A person who is endowed with (Right) knowledge and (Right) Faith, is engaged in self-restraint and penance, and is endowed truly with all these virtues, should be called a monk. (340) A person does not become a monk by merely shaving his head, a Brahmin by repeating the Omkara mantra, a monk by residing in a forest, nor a hermit by wearing garments woven of darbha grass. (341) A person becomes a sramana by equanimity, a Brahmin by his celibacy, a Muni by his knowledge and an ascetic by his austerities. (342) A person becomes a monk by his virtues and a pseudo-monk by absence of virtues; therefore master all the virutes of a monk and be free from all the vices of a pseudomonk; conquer your self through the self. He who possesses equanimity in the face of attachments and hatred is worthy of veneration. (343) Those monks who are attached to their body, addicted to sensual pleasures, possessed of passions, and asleep in respect of their own nature are certainly devoid of righteousness.

(362) If a monk who is of impure mentality renounces all extemal possessions, what can such renunciation do to one who is devoid of appropriate mental condition? (363) One, who is unattached to his body, is entirely free from passions like pride etc. and possessed of a soul which is engrossed in itself, is a real monk. 25. THE PRECEPTS ON VOWS (364) A wise monk, after adopting the five great vows of non-voilence, truthfulness, non-stealing, celibacy and nonpossessiveness, should practise the religion preached by the Jina. (365) A monk, who is free from the thorns of character (salya) really observes (five) great vows; the vows become ineffective due to three thorns of character i. e. desire for worldly return for one's good acts, wrong faith and deceit.

(374) When you come across the three forms of women, see in them the reflections of a mother, a daughter and a sister (according to their age) and refrain from telling the stories about women; celibacy becomes worthy of veneration in all the three worlds (375) The fifth great vow for monks who are the followers of right conduct, is renunciation of attachments for all things with a dispassionate mind. (376) What is the use of further argument to those who do not desire to be reborn. The supreme Jina has advised that they should not have attachment even for their body and should refrain from beautifying their bodies (377) A monk can keep only such things which are necessary for the observance of vratas and are not desired by worldly people and are incapable of creating any attachment; anything that may create even a slight attachment is unacceptable to a monk.

(379) Jnataputra (Bhagavan Mahavira) has said that an object itself is not possessiveness; what that great saint has said is that attachment to an object is possessiveness. 143 (380) A monk should not collect anything,not even as little as a particle of food sticking to his alms-bowl,as a bird flies away only with its wings so he should wander alone without having any means. (381) Even when blankets,beds, seats, food and drink are available in plenty,a monk who desires only a little and remains self-contented is worthy of adoration. (382) A monk should not desire even in his mind for food,after sun-set and before sun-rise.

(384) Vigilance in walk, speech,begging alms, receiving and keeping down of things and excreting are five Samitis (acts of carefulnes): control of mind, control of speech and control of body (i.e.actions) are three guptis. All are eight in number. (385) These eight are called pravacanamata (mother precepts).Just as a diligent mother protects her son, so they protect right knowledge,right faith and right conduct of the monk. (386) The five types of vigilances are meant for the practice of religious life and the three controls (guptis) for the prevention of every thing sinful. (387) Just as one who practises the gupti is not touched by defects pertaining to Samiti so also one who practises the samiti; does not have the defects of gupti. Certainly a gupti puts an act of negligence on the part of one who is undertaking an activity,to an end. (388) The person who is careless in his activities is certainly guilty of violence irrespective of whether a living being remains alive or dies; on the other hand, the person who is careful in observing the samitis experiences no karmic bondage simply because some killing has not taken place in connection with his activities.

Page #175 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ PATII OFLIBERATION 147 (389-390) A monk who is observing the Samitis i.e.vigilant about his activities may commit himsa (injury) through oversight; in such a case, there is only external violence (DravyaHirsa) and not the intemal. On the other hand a negligent person is guilty of the internal violence (Bhava-Himsa) even though no external violence is caused by him by killing being. When an injury is caused through negligence of a person, whether he is ascetic or not there will be both types of violence external (physical) as well as internal (mental). A monk fim in his observance of the samitis will not cause any violence because of the purity of his soul; there will be neither external violence nor internal violence. (391-392) If a tiny living creature is accidentally crushed under the foot of a monk who is careful in respect of his movement, the scriptures state that he will not attract even the slightest of karinic bondage (i.e.he is not responsible for that violence).Just as possessiveness consists in a sese of attachment so the violence consists in the intention of killing. (393) Just as a lotus-leaf possessing the property of smoothness is not touched by water; similarly a monk practising samitis is not touched by karmic bondage in the course of moving around in the midst of living beings. (394) Carefulness (Yatana) is the mother of religion;it is also the protector of religion; it helps the growth of religion and it begets perfect happiness.

(396) Iryasamiti consists in walking along a trodden path during day-time when required to move out for any work, looking ahead to a distance of four cubits and avoiding the killing of tiny living creatures. (397) Not paying attention to the objects of sensuous enjoyment and not taking up the study of five types,one should walk cautiously absorbing oneself in the task of walking and giving all out prominence to the task of walking. Note:- The five-fold methods of study are: Reading of sacred texts (Vacana), questioning the teacher (prehana), revision by re-reading (paravartana), pondering over what has already been studied and learnt (anupreksa) and reading illustrative stories (dharmakatha). (398) Similarly, one ought not to walk on straight within the midst of such living beings of all sorts as have gathered together (on the wayside) with a view to feeding themselves this is how one ought to move cautiously. (399) Even when enquired,a monk ought not to utter a sinful word, a senseless word, a heart-rending word either for the sake of oneself, or for the sake of another one, or for the sake of both.

Such speeches conduce neither to the good of oneself nor that of others. (403) A wise monk would speak what he has seen; his speech should be brief, free from ambiguity, clearly expressed, free from prattle and incapable of causing anxiety.

(419) One who performs acts like repentance (pratikramana) etc.attains right conduct viewed from the standpoint of niscayanaya,certainly,on account of that, a monk becomes steadfast in a conduct devoid of attachment. (420) Repentance for past evil acts (pratikrainana), renunciation form future evil acts (pratyakhyana), vow to refrain from evil acts (niyama), confession of evil acts (alocana) all these are the forms of verbal expressions and so they constitute study (Svadhyaya). (421) One who has capacity to practise repentance, should do it by contemplation : a person having no such capacity, ought to have faith in its efficacy. (422) The six obligatory duties are (1) Equanimity (Samayika), (2) Prayer of the twenty-four Jinas (Caturvimsatistava), (3) Obeisance (Vandana), (4) repentance (Pratikramana), (5) bodily steadiness to meditate upon soul (Kayotsarga), and (6) renunciation from future evil acts (Pratyakhyana). (423) To treat as equal a blade of grass and gold, an enemy and a friend, as also to develop a mind devoid of all attachment and predominantly incline towards performing proper acts this is what constitutes samayika.

(431) Humility is a must; it dispels pride; it amounts to worship of the preceptor and tirthankaras and it is the obedience of scriptural tenets. (432) A monk who meditates upon his soul after renunciation of attachment and other passions, refraining from talking about them, practises repentance in the true sense. (433) A monk who becomes absorbed in meditation renounces all faults; therefore meditation alone is real repentance for all transgressions. (434) At the time of daily ceremonials etc.the renunciation of attachment for one's own body at the prescribed time, for the prescribed period and with one's mind concentrated on the virtuous qualities of Jinas this is what constitutes kayotsarga (an immobile state of body).

(5) mortification of body, (6) lonely residence-these are the external penances. (442) He who voluntarily gives up food for a day or so, for purging the soul from Karmas practises the external penance of fasting. (443) A monk who takes a little food for undertaking study of scriptures is said to be a tapasvi (i.e., one practising the penance), according to scriptures. The penance of fasting without scriptural study amounts only to starving. (444) Fasting is penance when the person observing it does not entertain any inauspicious thoughts, when it does not result in bodily weakness, and when the activities of mind, speech and body remain unimpaired. (445) A person should decide upon fasting after taking into consideration his physical strength, stamina,faith,state of health, place and time. (446) In short, subjugation of senses is also described as fasting; therefore those who have conquered their senes, are said to be fasting, though they maybe taking food.

(449) If one procures alms after having taken various sorts of decisions as to their amount, their donor,their containingvessel or as to their various types of contents, one performs the penance called vrttiparisankhyana i.e.limiting the things begged for. (450) A monk who avoids delicious food like milk, curds, butter and taking his food on leaf, practises the penance of rasaparityaga (renunciation of delicious dishes). (451) The penance of having his bed and seat in a solitary and unfrequented place, shunned by women and animals, is called Viviktasayyasana (i.e. solitary residence).

Hence (at the time of acquiring knowledge) a yogin ought to put himself to inconvenience keeping in mind his capacity for tolerance.

Likewise, one engaged in putting an end to one's delusion might experience either pain or pleasure but neither pain nor pleasure is what puts an end to one's delusion. (A) INWARD PENANCE (456) Internal penance is (of six kinds): (1) Atonement for sins, (2) humility, (3) serving his preceptor, (4) self-study of scriptures (5) meditation and (6) Steadiness of body while in meditation. (457) The effects of observance of a vow, carefulness, continence, self-control and subjugation of the senses, these bring about atonement; they are to be practised incessantly.

(461) An evil act done unintentionally or intentionally all this has to be confessed with an unperturbed mind.

(466) To get up at the arrival of an elder to welcome him with folded hands, to offer him (an honoured) seat, to serve him with a feeling of devotedness-these constitute humility. (467) Humility is of five kinds; humility in faith, in knwledge, in conduct, in penance and in decorum or etiquette, these lead to liberation i.e.the fifth state. (468) If one (elder) is insulted, it amounts to an insult to all; if one is venerated, all of them are venerated. (469) Humility is the basic (virtue) according to Jaina scripture; a person of humility acquires self-restratint. Where is religion and where is penance to one who has lost humility?

(474) Offering protection to and taking care of a monk who becomes fatigued on his way, is threatened by a thief, a wild animal, a king or obstructed by river or gets afflicted by a contagious disease or famine, is service to a monk (vaiyavrtya). (475) Study of scriptures (svadhyaya) is of five kinds : (1) reading of scriptural text (2) questioning (3) repitition (4) pondering over and (5) narration of religious discourses opening with auspicious praise (of Jina). (476) He who studies scriptures with devotion without any desire for personal praise and honour or purging of his Karmic pollution, will have the benefit of scriptural knowledge conducive to his happiness.

(478) Perfect meditation is attained through knowledge and destruction of Karmas by meditation; liberation is the fruit of destruction of Karmas; hence; one should be engaged constantly in acquisition of knowledge (479) Among the twelve penances, internal and external which are experienced by one wise person, there is no penance, that equals or will be equal to the study of scriptures. (480) A monk who makes no movements of his body while sleeping, sitting or standing and checks all activities of his body is said to observe the sixth penance of bodily steadiness. (481) The benefits of practising meditation with bodily steadiness are: removal of bodily and mental lethargy, development of capacity to bear pain as well as pleasure, acquisition of deep reflection, and enhanced power of concentration in pure meditation. (482) The.penance of those who are born in noble families and have renounced their homes will not be pure, if they practise it for praise and honour; those who desire to attain purity must practise penance unnoticed and without any desire for praise.

PRECEPTS ON MEDITATION (484) Meditation is enjoined on a monk as the most vital part of his religion, just like the head to a body and the roots to a tree. (485) A steady state of mind constitutes meditation while an active mind might be engaged in either contemplation or deep reflection or thinking. (486) Just as salt dissolves due to its contact with water, similarly if the mind becomes absorbed in meditation, the fire of soul shines brightly, burning the auspicious and inauspicious karmas. (487) If a person is free from attachment, hatred, delusion and activities of the mind, speech and body, he becomes filled with fire of meditation that burns the auspicious and inauspicious Karmas.

(489) A person (engaged) in meditation should sit in the palyanka posture, stop all activities of mind, speech and body, fix the gaze of his eyes on the tip of his nose and slow down his expiration and inspiration. (490) Having condemned all one's evil conduct, having begged pardon of all the living beings, having renounced negligence, having steadied one's mind, one ought to undertake meditation until the thing meditated looks like standing in front of oneself (491) In the case of monks who have steadied all their mental, vocal and bodily activity and who have thoroughly concentrated their mind on meditation, it does not matter at all whether they stay in a village full of people or in an empty forest. (492) A monk devoted to penance and desirous of practising meditation should neither entertain pleasant nor unpleasant thoughts about the objects of senses. (493) A monk becomes quite steady in his meditation if he has understood thoroughly the nature of mundane existence, is deviod of all attachment, is fearless, is desireles, and has developed an attitude of indifference to the world.

(501) Undertake no bodily act, utter no word and think no thought; thus you will become steady. Certainly, supreme meditation consists in a soul engaged in concentration on itself. (502) A mind engaged in meditation is not perturbed by miseries born of passions nor those born of inental acts nor by jealousy, remorse, sorrow etc. (503) A brave (monk) is neither moved nor frightened by afflictions and calamities; his mind does not become infatuated in the slightest degree, not even by the celestial illusions.

PRECEPTS ON REFLECTION (505) Even when ordinary meditation is over then before undertaking the meditation called 'dharma-dhyana', a monk ought to constantly make his mind permeated with deep reflection pertaining to things transient etc. (506) (A monk) should reflect upon transitoriness, helplessness, loneliness, distinctness (of body and soul), mundane existence, the terrestrial world, impurity, influx of Karmas, stoppage of Karmic influx, release from Karmas, religion and enlightenment. (507) Know that birth' is accompanied by death; youth is succeeded by old age, wealth is perishable. Thus should one reflect that everything is transient. (508) After discarding the great illusion, and reflecting that all objects of senses are transient, cultivate a detached mind so that you may attain supreme bliss. (509) A fool thinks wealth, animals and kinsmen to be his protectors, saying to himself they are mine, I am theirs. Infact, they are neither his protectors nor his shelter.

PRECEPT ON SOUL-COLOURING (LESYAS) (531) As a rule, the lesyas, (colours or tinges of the soul) are specifically mentioned to be of six kinds: (1) black (Kpsna), (2) blue (Nila), (3) grey (Kapota), (4) golden yellow (Tejas), (5) lotus coloured (Padma) and (6) white (Sukla), (532) Occurrence of soul-colouring as a result of activities (of mind, speech and body) due to the rise of passions is called Lesya. The twin effects of activity and passions is to bring about bondage of four kinds of Karma.

(535) The golden-yellow, lotus-coloured and white are the three types of auspicious Lesyas; on account of these three, the soul mostly takes birth in various happy states of existence. (536) Each of the three inauspicious Lesyas differ in their intensity; most intense, more intense and intense; similarly the auspicious Lesyas undergo three changes; most mild, more mild and mild. And each of these sub-types is further subdivided into six classes in accordance with its relative increase and decrease. (537 & 538) Six persons who are travellers miss their way in the midst of a forest. They see a tree laden with fruits and begin to think of getting those fruits: one of them suggests uprooting the entire tree and eating the fruits; the second one suggests cutting the trunk of the tree; the third one suggests cutting the branches; the fourth one suggests cutting the twigs; the fifth one suggests plucking the fruits only; the sixth one suggests picking up only the fruits that have fallen down. The thoughts, words and bodily activities of each of these six travellers related to eating fruits are mutually different and respectively illustrative of the six Lesyas.

PRECEPTS ON SPIRITUAL PROGRESS ( GUNASTHANAS) (546) Those state, resulting from the fruition etc. of Karmas, by which souls are distinguished are given the name 'guna' (spiritual stages) by the Omniscients. (547 & 548) There are fourteen stages in the path of gradual spiritual development; (1) false belief, (2) failing from right faith, (3) mixture of right faith and wrong faith, (4) vowless right faith, (5) partial observance of vows, (6) Non-vigilant observance of vows, (7) violent observance of vows, (8) unique condition of bliss, which has not been experienced before, (9) constant thought-activity (that is meditation), (10) slightest attachment, (11) subsided delusion, (12) destroyed delusion, (13) omniscient with activities, and (14) Omniscient without activity. It should be understood that emancipation is attained in stages. (549) Having faith in the things existing in a veritable fashion - that is called mithyatva. It is of three forms - viz. that of the form of entertaining a doubt, that of the form of something developed deliberately, that of the form of something noi developed deliberately. (550) The soul falls down from the peak of the mountain of right faith, with his face towards the plain of wrong faith, and has his right-faith destroyed - this stage of soul is called sasvadana i. e. having taste of right faith.

(552) He who has not vowed to abstain from indulgence in the senses and from hurting the mobile and immobile living beings; although he has firm faith in the doctrines propounded by the Jina. This stage is said to be of a person of right vision without abstinence (Avirata-Samyagdrsti). (553) One who desists from a killing of the mobile living beings but not from that of the immobile ones and yet who has unwavering faith in Jinas is called viratavirata or desavirata) i. e. partial observer of vows. (554) One who has adopted the Great Vows, is equipped with all virtuous qualities and good conduct, often exhibits negligence in a manifest or a non-manifest form and hence whose conduct is bit defective is to be called pramattasamyata i. e. non-vigilant observer of great vows. (555) The wise man who is well equipped with all vows, whose negligence has disappeared entirely, who remains absorbed in meditation, but who has started neither subsiding his delusive karinas nor annihilating his delusive karmas is called apramattasamyata i. e. vigilant observer of great vows (556) In this (eighth) stage of spiritual development the soul experiences unique but frequently changing mental states (of bliss) which have not been experienced ever before; hence the stage is called apurvakarana).

Hence this stage is called suksma - Kasaya or suksma-samparaya i. e. the stage of slight attachment. (560) Just as the water mixed with kataka-fruit or a pond's water in the autumn season have their dirtiness subsided, similarly a person whose all delusive karmas have subsided is called upasanta Kasaya i. e. whose passions are subsided.

Though he is a Kevalin (Omniscient) yet undertakes mental, vocal and bodily activities. (564) The personage who has assumed the state called sailesi (i. e. state of utterfreedom from all activity whatsoever). In whom the entire karmic inflow has been put to a stop, who is free from the dirt of kama is called kevalin, devoid-of-activities. (565) The moment, the pure soul reaches this stage, it goes upward straight to the top of the universe according to its natural attribute, remains there forever in a disembodied form and endowed with the eight supreme attributes. (566) The emancipated souls are ones who are devoid of the eight types of karmas, having attained peace, are devoid of all thought of blemish, are eternal, are equipped with eight auspicious qualifications, are such as have already accomplished whatever had to be accomplished and are residing at the top of the universe. 33.

(583) & (584) One who is born in a royal family and performs his (nilitary) exercises regularly will become competent to win all wars: similarly a monk who regularly engages himself in meditation and practise of the vows of monastic life, conquers his mind, and will become competent to practice meditation at his death. (585) Fix (your) soul on the path of liberation and meditate on that soul only; always be engrossed in it and not in any other substance.

PRECEPTS ON FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS (588) All persons who are ignorant suffer misery; most of those who are foolish will remain confounded in this endless mundane existence. (589) Therefore, a wise person, considering that most of the ways of living result in entanglements of (mundane) existence, should search for truth with (the aid of) his own soul and develop affection towards all living beings. (590) Truth, emancipation, the nature of substance, the highest reality, the supreme pure goal - all these words convey the same meaning. (591) Soul, non-soul, Karmic bondage, merit, demerit, karmic-influx, stoppage of influx, release (from Karmas) and liberation - these constitute the nine fundamental principles. (592) A soul is characterised by consciousness; is eternal, immortal, different from the body (in which it is embodied), formless, an agent, and the door and enjoyer of his own Karmas (i.e., fruits of his actions).

Page #249 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ METAPHYSICS 221 (593) The Jinas call that an ajiva (i.e.. non-soul) which invariably does not have any knowledge of pleasure or pain, does not know what is beneficial and does not have any fear of what is detrimental. (594) Ajiva should again be known to be of five kinds): matter (pudgala), motion (dharma) rest (adharma), space (akasa) and time (kala): matter has form as it has the attributes of colour etc., the rest of them are verily fornless. (595) The soul is not perceptible to the senses as it has no corporal form; it is eternal since it has no corporal forny, due to internal activities like the passions, Karma binds the soul, and it is said thai bondage is the cause of mundane existence. (596) Attachment binds the soul (with Karmas); a soul which is free from attachments becomes liberated from Karmas. Know that this surely is briefly (the nature of) the Karmic bondage of souls. (597) Therefore, it is desirable to renounce the attachments; do not do anything at any time that brings about an attachment even to the slightest degree; it is due to this that a soul conquers all attachments and crosses over the ocean of worldly existence. (598) Karna is the cause of merit (punya) and demerit (papa): auspicious thoughts give rise to menit while inauspicious thoughts to denierit. Those who are possessed of subdued passions have clean (mental states); those with intense passions will have unclean (mental states).

Page #251 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ METAPHYSICS 223 (599) Always speak words which are dear (to others), even those wicked men who use harsh words ought to be forgiven; one must take the best from all people - these are illustrative of persons possessed of subdued passions. (600) Praising oneself, picking up faults even with those who are worthy of worship and maintaining inimical attitude for a pretty long time - these are the characteristics of persons possessed of intense passions. (601) A person, having lost his self-awareness due to attachment and aversion, remains enslaved by the senses. His doors of karmic influx being open, he commits Karmas continuously through three fold means, i. e., mind, body and speech. (602) There is a continuous inflow of the Karmas through the doors of influx, i. e. violence etc., just as a boat with holes sinks in the sea due to the inflow of water, so does the soul. (603) (Yogas are also the doors of Karmic influx). The vibrations in the soul through the activities of mind, body and the speech are known as Yoga. So say the Jinas. (604) As soon as the Yogas, i. e., the soul vibrations lessens, the bondage or the Karmic influx also lessens. The moment the Yogas are stopped, the Karmic-influx does not take place; just as the water does not enter the boat which has no holes.

Page #253 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ METAPHYSICS (605) Wrong faith, non-refrainment, passion and Yoga-are the causes of Karmic influx. Self-restraint, detachment, rightfaith and the absence of Yoga are the causes of cessation. 225 (606) Just as there is no inflow of water in the boat after the thousands of its holes have been plugged, similarly, the wrong faiths being removed, there is the cessation of Karmic influx in the soul (Jiva). (607) He who feels all beings to be like himself and who has stopped all the doors of the Karmic influx, such a self-restrained person does not suffer the bondage of sinful deeds. (608) The soul aspiring after liberation blocks the doors of influx of wrong faith by the firm shutters of righteousness and those of violence etc. by the shutters of staunch vows. (609-610) Just as the water of a huge pond gradually dries by blocking the way of the inlet of water, drawing out its previous water and by sunheat, in the same way, the Karmas of the self-restrained, accumulated during crores of births, get destroyed by blocking the entrance of sinful deeds and by austerities.

Page #255 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ METAPHYSICS 227 (611) It has been asserted by the Jinas that one who has not controlled the influx of the Karmas, does not achieve liberation by practising austerities only; just as the water of a pond does not dry completely, if the sources of the inlet of water are kept open. (612) The annihilation of the amount of Karmas, which an ignorant person does during the crores of years by practising austerities, is done by the wise person, practising the three Gupties, in a single breath. (613) Just as the army is destroyed after the Commander is dead, in the same way, all the Karmas are automatically destroyed after the annihilation of the Mohaniya Karma (infatuating Karma). (614) The soul, liberated from the Karmic pollution, ascends the top of the universe and there enjoys transcendental infinite bliss, possessing all knowledge and all perception (i. e. being omniscient). (615) The bliss attained by the Siddhas in a moment is infinite times more than the pleasure enjoyed by the emperors, by the Jivas residing in the regions of the Karmas, and by the Fanindras, Surendras and Ahmindras in all the ages. (616) It is not possible to describe the state of liberation in words as they transcend any such verbal expression. Nor is there the possibility of argument as no mental business is possible. The state of liberation transcends all the determinations and alternatives. Side by side with it, there is no pride due to being devoid of all the blemishes of the mind. There is no melancholy even if there is knowledge of upto the seventh hell, due to it transcending the pleasure and pain.

(625) The substances, Akasa, kala, Pudgal, Dharma and Adharma, do not possess the attributes of the Jiva (i. e. devoid of life) and they therefore have been called Ajivas (non-living).

(627) The Jiva (soul), the pudgala (matter)-these two substances are active, while the rest are inactive.

It is asserted by the Jinas.

Molecules are of six kinds, while the atoms are of two kinds. METAPHYSICS (641) Gross-gross, gross, gross-fine, fine-gross, fine and fine-fine-these are the six kinds of the aggregate matter (skandha Pudgal). The earth etc. are its six examples. (642) The earth, the water, the shadow, the objects of four senses, (except sight), the Karmic matter and the atoms-these are the six different forms of matter. (643) Such a substance, as is devoid of dimensions i. e. two extremes and the middle, unextended, not to be perceived by the sense-organs and indivisible, has been called atom by the Jinas. (644) Like the molecules, the atoms also possess the attributes of colour, taste, smell and touch, they remain everchanging by getting conjoined and disjoint. They therefore are called Pudgala. (645) That which lives, will live and has lived through the instrumentality of the four types of vitalities (prana) is called soul (Jiva) and the four types of vitality are life-force, organs, life-span and respiration.

But from real viewpoint, it is possessed of innumerable space-points (Pradesas). (647) Just as a ruby thrown into milk illuminates the whole milk only, so also an embodied soul illuminates its own body only. (648) The soul is co-extensive with cognition, cognition is co-extensive with what is to be cognised, loka and aloka are cognizable, therefore cognition is all-pervasive. (649) Jiva is of two kinds: mundane and emancipated; both of them are sentient and endowed with consciousness; even then the mundane souls have bodies while the emancipated ones do not. (650) The earth, the water, the fire, the air and the plants are various kinds of immiobile beings with one sense organ. The mobile beings like conches etc. are possessed of two, three, four and five sense-organs.

(652) An acom is unextended. Due to its being unextended, it is devoid of sound, and it is either smooth or rough i. e. with positive or negative charges. When the atoms are conjoined, they become subject to experience.

(663) There is no origination without destruction, no destruction without origination, while neither origination nor destruction is possible without a permanent substance, (664) The origination, permanence and destruction belong to the modes (and not to the substance), but since modes are definitely of the form of a substance, everything whatsoever is the form of a substance.

(666) The mode of a substance which emerges is one and that which vanishes is other than it, while the substance neither emerges, not vanishes. (667) The individual remains the same person from his birth till the time of death, though he assumes the various states of childhood etc. (668) All the modes of the things which are common to all of them are universal, while those which are not, are particular but both belong to the same. (669). The cognitions of a substance are universal and particular and are uncontradicted. This is the right cognition whereas the contrary to it is not.

But one exclusively ascribes to this person either the former or the latter relationship, is certainly not wellversed in the scriptures. (672) The particular qualities (of a substance) are mixed together just like milk and water, so it is not justifiable "to exclusively distinguish them as 'this' or 'that' quality. (673) A monk, who is doubtful about the meaning of a verse, should adopt without any pride the relative point of view in his interpretation.

(680) The Srutajnana is acquired through matijnana while the matijnana is not acquired through Srutajnana, but in the act of fostering thoughts, it is the characteristic of matijnana that it precedes the Srutajnana (681) The type of cognition which limits the direct) knowledge is called (Avadhi-Jnana) I e clairvoyance, in the scriptures, it is also called simajnana 1. e. limited cognition This avadhi-jnana is of two types - viz one that is born on account of a certain type of birth and one thaus born on account of the practice of certain various qualities.

It is of many types. (683) That type of cognition which is one, pure, perfect, extra-ordinary, endless, is called Kevalajnana, and here as usual the generic word jnana is to be added to the specific word denotative of a particular jnana Type.

Pratyaksa (direct) and paroksa (indirect). (686) The word 'aksa' means a soul either because it covers the entire range of the things or because it enjoys these things (the two meanings depending on two different etymologies of the word 'aksa' and the type of cognition, which is had be an aksa is called pratyaksa; it is of three sub-types.

(689) In a real sense, the cognition acquired through the other sources is paroksa i. e. indirect while cognition acquired directly by the soul is pratyaksa. But the cognition, born of a sense-organ is 'pratyaksa', practically so called. 39. PRECEPTS ON VIEW-POINT (690) The thought activity which grasps only one aspect of an object with the aid of scriptures, is called Naya. He who possesses such knowledge is wise. (691) Since without a (knowledge of) naya a man cannot have a knowledge of syadvada (the doctrine of conditional statement). A knowledge of naya can be had by one who is desirous of destroying all the extremes. (692) Just as an irreligious person desired to attain bliss without practising religion or a thirsty person desires to quench his thirst without using water, similarly the fool desires to determine the nature of a substance without taking recourse to naya. (693) The entire body of the teachings of Tirthankara taken in its entirety and taken in its particular details is to be explained with the help of two basic standpoints (nayas)-viz that substantial point of view (dravyarthikanaya) and that modificational point of view (paryayarthikanaya). The rest of them are the offshoots of these two.

Similarly what is said from the modal view-point appears unreal from the substantial view-point. (695) From the modal view-point, things necessarily originate and perish. But from the substantial view-point, there is neither origination nor destruction. (696) From substantial point of view, everything is of the form of substance (always remaining the same), but from modal view-point every thing differs from time to time. From each particular stand-point, a thing appears to its corresponding form. (697) The stand-point which gives secondary status to the modes and only grasps the substance, is called substantial viewpoint, while the opposite to it is called modal view-point. (698) Naigam, sarngraha, vyavahara, jusutra, sabda, samabhirudha and evambhuta-these are the seven basic standpoints. (699) The first three fall under the category of substantial view-point, while the remaining four come under the modal view-point. Among these seven, the first four give eminence to meaning, while the remaining three to the word.

(701) Naigam Naya is of three kinds, according to the three tenses. The past, the present and the future. (702) To describe the work as "has been done" when asked, the moment it has been started, is known as the Vartamana Naigam Naya, for, example the food is said to have been cooked when the cooking has just been started. (703) To say that an act, which is to be performed in future has been completed, though incomplete is an example of Bhavisya Naigam Naya e. g. when a person is about to start, we say "he has gone" (704) There are two kinds of samgrahanaya-suddhasamgrahanaya and asuddhasamgrahanaya. In suddhasamgrahanaya, we accept only one common characteristic of thingsexistence, ignoring all the mutual conflicting characteristics, while in Asuddhasamgrahanaya, we accept the generic class characteristic of things. (705) That which distinguishes between the pure synthetic approach and impure synthetic approach about the thing is called Vyavaharanaya. This Vyavaharanaya is further of two types. complete distinguishing and incomplete distinguishing.

(708) Sapana, i. e."calling", is a word, or that which calls is word, or through which an object is reffered to is also a word. It is called "Sabdanaya" because it grasps the meaning of the word. (709) The naya that differentiates the meaning of the words according to their use, as gender etc., in a sentence is called sabda naya, for example, the word 'pusya' denotes a particular Naksatra, while the word 'Pusya' denotes a particular "Tarika'. (710) The naya which grasps the meaning of the word according to its etymology, is also called 'Sabdanaya', for example, the word 'deva' generally means God. (711) Every word is followed by a specific meaning and vice-versa. The different synonymous words have their respective connotations even if the same object is referred to by them. For example, the word, Indra, Purandar and Sakra connote the same object, yet they have their respective meaning to. This is known as Samabhirudhanaya.

This is what is maintained by the naya, called "Evambhutanaya". Hence this particular naya cling to the particular meaning of the word. (713) Whatever an act a person is now performing, through the instrumentality of his mind, speech or body, a name corresponding to that act is to be applied to this person, this is what is maintained by the naya called Evambhutanaya (e. g. A person is called teacher only while he is teaching). 40. SYADVADA & SAPTABHANGI SUTRA 265 (714) The object of naya or pramana; if it is conditional, is called relative, and if not, absolute. The object whether of naya or pramana, is called relative, if it is conditional, and absolute, if it is unconditional. (715) The word 'Syat' is said to be one that negates all unconditionality, one that is of the grammatical form called nipata (an underived particle) and one that demonstrates all things as conditional. (716) The predications are seven be they of the form of pramana or a naya proper or a naya improper. The statement characterized by syat (in same respect) is pramana, that which does not rule out the other probabilities is naya proper, and that which absolutely negates the other probabilities is naya improper. - For Private Personal Use Only Page #294 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 266 SAMANASUTTAM 717. atthi tti patthi do vi ya, avvattavaM sieNa saMjuttaM / abattabA te taha, pamANabhaMgI suNAyabvA // 4 // Atthi tti natthi do vi ya, Avvattavvam siena samjuttan, Avvattavva te taha, pamanabhargi sunayavva. 718. atthisahAvaM dabaM, sahavAdIsu gAhiyaNaeNa / taM pi ya patthisahAvaM, paradabbAdIhi gahieNa // 5 // Atthisahavar davvar, saddavvadisu gahiyanaena.

(718) Each substance grasped in the form of 'this substance' etc. is of the nature of something existent, the same grasped in the form of 'a substance other than this one' etc. is of the nature of something non-existent. (719) When grasped in both the above forms it is of the nature of samething existent as well as non-existent, when simultaneously grasped in both the above forms, it is something indescribable in three additional forms, in as much as, it is at the same time also treated as something existent, something nonexistent, or something both existent and non-existent. 267 (720) 'Is', 'Is not', 'is and is not', 'is indescribable', 'is and is indescribable' 'is not and is indescribable', and 'is, is not and is indescribable these very seven predications, pertaining to a substance, when characterized by 'syat' (in some respect are called improper nayas (721) When one property of a thing is grasped, the property opposed to it is also grasped automatically because both these properties constitute the nature of this thing.

Similarly, no-agamato dravya is of three types-viz. the knower's body, the would be knower, one acting in a manner appropriate to the thing concerned And the knower's body is of three types--viz. one fallen, one given up, one made to fall. (743-744) Like dravya bhava (= reality) too is of two types--viz. agamato (= that in respect of an authentic text) and no-agamato (= that not in respect of an authentic text). Thus the person who knows an authentic text pertaining to an Arhat and is also making use of this knowledge is agamato-bhava Arhat. On the other hand, the person who has developed the virtuous qualities appropriate to an Arhat or one who while equipped with those qualities, undertakes meditation and so is considered to have become a Kevalajnanin (= Arhat) is no-agamatobhava Arhat. 43. CONCLUSION (745) Thus preached the Vaisalika Bhagavan Mahavira, of the Jnat clan, endowed with supreme knowledge and supreme Vision this is what I speak about (746) One might not have heard about that or one might not have acted in accordance with that, but certainly virtues like equanimity etc. have been preached by the omniscient sage Jnataputra (= Mahavira).

The stay of the stoppage karmic inflow, misery, the purging of karmas only he deserves to preach the doctrine of nght action. (749) I have already attained the noble verbal preaching of Jinas which was not attained earlier and is of the form of nectar, I have taken up the path leading to a happy future birth-so that I may no more be afraid of death. 44. HYMN TO MAHAVIRA (750) Right knowledge is my shelter, Right Faith is my shelter, right conduct is my shelter, austerity and self-restraint are my shelters, Bhagavan Mahavira is my shelter. (751) Lord Mahavira was possessed of an all-comprehensive perception, possessed of a supreme knowledge, no taker of an improper meal, possessed of patience, possessed of steadiness, the supreme learned man in the world, free from all possessions, free from fear, one not going to take another birth.

(752) That supreme wise man lived in no permanent dwelling, had crossed over the flood-of-transmigration, had a limitless vision, shown in a supreme fashion as does the sun, produced light where darkness prevailed as does the great Indra Vairocana. (753) Just as Airavata is supreme among elephants, lion among animals, Gamga among rivers, Garuda-the son of Venudeva-among birds, similarly was Jnatnputra supreme among those preaching emancipation. (754) Just as bestowal of freedom-from-fear is best among donations. Speaking no harsh words is best among truthtellings, continence is best among penances, similarly is the nonk Jnatnputra best among the people of the world. (755) Let victory be to the Blessed one (= Mahavira) whoknows as to where the mundane souls take birth, who is a teacher and a source of joy to the whole world, who is the lord and the well-wisher of the universe who is like grand-father to the whole world. (756) Ler victory be to the great soul Mahavira who is the source of all scriplural texts, who is the last among tirthankaras, who acts as teacher to all the world.
