Dixit il TRUPIT A historical evaluation of the contents of the ancient Jame task beset with several serlous difficulties The most formidablo of them 18 the circumstance that we do not know for certain as to which of the Jaina texts - or text-portions are really ancient Of courae, this particular difficulty is not peculiar to the students of Jain literature, for even in the case of an allegedly ancient Brabmanical or Buddhist text the question almost 10 variably arises as to whether it is really ancient Hence it is one of the foremost tasks of the students of ancient Indian literature - Brahmanical Buddhist or Jaina - to decide upon the criteria for determining the chronology of the texts sought to be evaluated In this connection we may speak of an external criterion and an internal one By external criterion la to be understood a specific reference made to the text under study by a documentarcheological or literary - that is of known date, by internal criterion is to be understood the specific character exhibited by this text - in respect of its form or in that of its contents The two need separate treatment Since hardly any ancient Indian toxt is of known date there is littlo question of such a text referring to the text under study, at the most wo Can say that a text making reference to another one must be posterior to the latter - this on the supposition that the roforence in question is not a later interpolation (which it well might be) Again, it is in extremely raro cages that an archeological document makes reference to a literary text An Agokan ingcription mentioning certain Buddhist scriptural texts is one such case and the same might in a way be said of a certain ancient sculptured relief- of known dato - depicting certain Jataka atories But on the whole, this class of evidence just like the class just mentioned is virtually unavailable to a student of ancient Indian literature Thug deprived of what we have called the external criterion for determining chronology he is bound to fall back upon what we have called the internal auch criterion And it is to this latter that we turn next Light might be thrown on the chronology of a text by the stady of its form as also by that of its contents - these being two aspects of the application of the internal criterion for determining chronology By the form of a text are to be understood ita language, its metre, its style of composit104 Page #4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ and 10 the case of each it is often possible to distinguish between 20 & type and a recent one However, an allegedly ancient text might an archaic linguistic usage, metre or style of composition not becaus really ancient but because a recent author has deliborately resorted to aigms Similarly, an allegedly ancient text might be free from all dist recent linguistic usage, metre or style of composition not because it 13 ancient but because a recent author has deliberately refrained from reg to novelties It is only in case a text exhibits a distinctly recent lin; usage, metre or style of composition that we can legitimately conclud it is not ancient-again on the supposition that the passage in quest not a later interpolation (which it well might be) All this means the criterion of contents 18 the most crucial criterion for determining the ch logy of an ancient Indian text But the application of this criterio its own difficulties and pitfalls For in order to be able to apply the rion in question we must be in a position to aay that certain prol were raised in an ancient period but not in a recent one-or vice-vers how are we to say this except as a result of studying those very texts we intend to subject to the criterion in question ? In a word, w here apparently faced with a vicious circle The way out is to broader source of information and enhance our power of generalization Thi broadest possible consulting of sources and a boldest possible drawli generalizations should form the basis of oor aaying as to what prob were or were not raised in an ancient (or in a recent) period These preliminary remarks should facilitate one's comprehensior the historical evaluation of the contents of the ancient Jains texts that foll Jainism - liko Buddhism - 19 8 monastic religious sect - that is, a sec wbich intellectual and moral leadership is exercised by monks By wa contrast we may think of Brahmanism which is a religious sect where 1 llectual and moral leadership is exercised by the Brahmins usually lea the life of a householder Now in broad outlines this seo ms to be situation since long and one tends to think that in all details such it been since ever In point of fact, however, the whole thing is the re of a long course of evolution and it is this course of evolution that dese serious study in a correct perspective Taking Brahmanism first, it is obvious that it took its rise within fold of the Vedic Aryan society wbich, to begin with, was unfamiliar the fourfold division into Brahmins (correctly Brahmanas), Ksatriyaa, Var And Sidras, a division--the celebrated Varna aystem--which is the hall-m of Brahmanism and which was resorted to under certain specific conditio For it so happened that when the Vedic Aryans - for long confined within Page #5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Historical Evaluation of the Ancient Jaina Texts borders of the present day Punjab and North-West Frontier regiona-started the process of an all-round colonization' of the country, they - at least, a good number of them - felt the need for having a hereditory warrior class and a hereditory working class - the working class being again subdivided into an upper grade and a lower grade It was the hereditory warrior class which was designated K salriya', the hereditory upper-grade working class which was designated 'Varsya' and the hereditory lower-grade working class which was designated 'Sudra' Besides there stood the hereditory priest class des gnated Brahmin' Much of all this information concerning the social conditions then prevalent we glean from the texts called Brahmanas' which the Brahmins thought fit to compose 10 order to serve their priestly purposes However, Brahmanism was not merely - not even primarily- & social phenomenon For essentially and primarily it was a religious phenomenon Cert. ainly, in the subsequent course of listory perhaps nowhere and never were the provisions of Varna system followed in all strictness But the theological twists and turns which the Brabm108 took care to introduce now and then profoundly inquenced the religious scene of the country Thus the Vedic Aryans were accustomed to offer collective worship by means of simplo ceremonies to their numerous gods - mostly the personfications of natural powers But the Brahmana texts recommend the performance of highly complicated rituals at which the Brahmin officiates and which the client pays for Later on these rituals were treated in a rather summary but systematic fashion in the texts called "Srautasultas' but it was at the same time realised that the period of these rituals was well-nigh over And so were composed the texts called 'Ghyasitras' which recommend numerous but simple rituals ostly needing the assistance of a Brahmin priest and to be performed by a householder on all sorts of occasions arising in his everyday life, All this multifarlous striving in the fields social and reilgtous was in the air when Buddha appeared on the scene Buddha was born and he had his movements in the midst of Aryan colonizers Of course, the Aryan colonies always included some amount of abonglnal population and may be 10 Buddha's time and in his part of the country this amount was comparatively larger Again, the Aryan colonizers were more or less lax in following the precepts of Brahmanism and may be in Buddha's time and lo his part of the country they were particularly so lax. In any case, Buddha thought it possible to substitute for the Brahmapical social ideal one of his own conception and to lay the foundation of a community that subscribed to the latter Thus in the eyes of Buddha the ideal man wag not one who led the regular life of an Ideal Brahmin, Ksatriya, Varsya or Sudra but one who took leave of the regular society and led the austere life of an ideal monk It is difficult to fathom Buddha's motive in its entirety but he seems to have been overwh Page #6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ * K Dixit elmed by the lust for worldly well-being that be found raging all aro himself in society So in order to mitigate the evil he thought it necessar place before society an ideal group of persons- the monks of his persua: who renounced all anch lust and reduced their worldly requirements to minimum But just like Brahmanism Buddhism too was not merely - even primarily a social phenomenon, for essentially and primarily it was a religious phenomenon Perhaps with the aboriginal population Buddha's part of the country it was an article of faith that one who le the life of self imposed austerities comes to develop miraculous powersother words, it had faith in what we nowadays call 'Shamanism' In case, Buddha seems to have been of that view Again, with the aborig population of Buddha's part of the country the transmigration of soul perhaps another article of faith In any case, Buddha did believe that s transmigration takes place there this notwithstanding his nominal opp tion to the doctrine of soul So when Buddha declared that man's summ bonum was to put an end to his transmigratory cycle - positively speaki to attain mroana - and that the sole possible means for it was the life an ideal monk he was in effect saying that the pursuit of an ideal generates in a monk the miraculous power to put an end to his transi gratory cycle Thus viewed Buddha's central religious preaching seems be a natural evolution out of the preceding thought-current available him just as the theological tenets of contemporary Brahmanism were natural evolution out of the preceding thought-current of the Vedic Arya One point of similarity between the two needs emphasis The entire rit of the Brahmin was a more or less powerful act of miracle while the do rine of the transmigration of soul he came to embrace at a fairly late di and in a rather stray fashion. As a result, one has the impression as Brahmanism is all miracle-working and its faith in the doctrine of trai migrtion but skin-deep On the other hand, the Buddhist texts speak much of transmigration and murvana while they are comparatively retice about the miracle-working capacity of a monk As a result, one has t impression as if Buddhism is all mreang-working and its bellef in mirac but negligible As a matter of fact it took no time for Brahmanism develop a very deep faith in the doctrine of the transmigration of so and for Buddhism to develop a very deep interest in the problem of miracl working This takes us to the next stage in the evolution of Indian religio thought - The aboriginal population of India, in the midst of which the Ved Aryans had spread out their "colonica', seems to have had some traditi of a polytheistic idol-worship Brahmanism now took up the thread a began to develop a cult of idol-worship based on a polytheistically tig monotheism. Thus various theological sects each believing in the efficacy Page #7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Historical Evaluation of the Ancient Jaina Texts Idol-worship and each advocating the necessity of an attitude of devotion (bhakti) towards its chosen deity which it declared to be the supreme deitycame to be fostered within the fold of Brahmanism All these sects held out to their adherents the prospect of a success in worldly endeavours now and a cessation of the transmigratory cycle in the end The same sort of influences affected Buddhism as well But in this case idol-worship took a rather round-about course Of course, nothing new was offered to the monk, but the lay-follower of Buddhism was asked to pay homage to the stupas (funerary mounds) erected in the honour of holy men Thus devoted circumambulation around a Buddhist stupa promised to a Buddhistic layman almost all that devoted worship of a Brahmanical temple deity did to a Brahmanist layman For some time Buddha in an anthropomorphic form was not made an object cf worship - so much so that even sculptured reliefs decorating the exterior of a stupa would, in the case of need (as for example, while depicting a Jataka story), represent Buddha in a symbolic rather than anthropomorphic form But soon enough the attitude was given up and the anthropomorphic representation of Buddha began to find place in Buddhist sanctuaries Nay, the Buddhist now chose to worship not one Buddha but the numerous ones - and the numerous Bodhisattvas in addition Thus the second stage in the evolution of Indian religious thought culminates in a phase where almost the only thing that distinguishes a Buddhist layman from his Brahmanist counterpart was the name of the deity worshipped But that was after all a minor distinction, and in that respect even one Buddhist layman might differ from another or one Brahmanist layman from another By the end of this stage Brahmanism received its classical form - its standard 'Puranic' form and it is in this form that it made all subsequent progress which was fairly considerable For Buddhism inspite of - perhaps because of-ita Tantric innovations (which too had their Brahmanical counterpart but of meagre significance) was now definitely on the downgrade and gradually left the scene for good 5 - - It is in this background that we have to assess the vicissitudes undergone by Jainism as a religious sect An enquiry into the origins of Jainism 18 a matter of much controversy and much idle speculation and let us not enter into that Instead it will be profitable to establish on the basis of the tangible evidence at hand a relative chronology of the several trends exhibited by the corpus of Jaina tenets as we find it today Thus certain texts throw significant light on the motives that impel one to embrace monkhood The problem is of the first-rate importance and was in a way touched upon also by the Buddhists when they, in the course of elaborating the fourfold Noble Truths, contended that desire is at the root of all one's worldly miseries the implication being that a monk's life of destrelessness is an Page #8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ K Dixit effective antidote to the root-cause of these miseries But the Budd explication of what constitutes the life of worldly desires 18 rather jej By way of contrast the Jaina texta in question undertake a vigorous der ciation of the life of hankering after worldly possessions and of indulg in violence for the sake of the same One is left in no doubt that on Jaina's showing one embraced monkhood in order to protest against spirit of acqutsitiveness and the consequent spirit of violence that were mal themselves felt in certain social circles in the times of Buddba and Me Vira A casual reader - or even a thorough reader - of the Jaina texts m Dot be convinced of all this at once It will, therefore, be advisable to that a most clear-cut instance of the type of texts we have 10 mind oco in the Acarangasutra i Srutaskandha Il Adhyayana entitled Lokaviy iya very fact that this tread of argumentation is almost or entirely absent the other Jaina texts argues the antiquity of the Acaranga passages inqi tion Of course, the trend was not forgotten in toto For in these passi acquisitiveness or pargraha and violence or hushsa (for which a more u Jalna term 18 arambha) turo out to be the root-evils and the tradition o treating them persisted for some time (it is evident at other places in Acaranga I Srutaskandha aa also in the Sutrakrlanga I Srutaskandha) . Is particularly noteworthy because parigrcha and arambha are just two the five avralas (1 e jodisciplines) so well kaown to the students of Jaldi The idea is that the texta dilaling on the 5 avralas as root-evils must chronologically posterior to the just mentioned texts dilating on parigi and hinsa, nay, even after the doctrine of 5 ayratas gained full curre parigraha and arambha were attributed a special significance by being 10 porated in the lat (rather in one of the two lists) of 5 kriyas (1 e evil deer Tho items of the list are arambha, parigi aha, naya, apratyakhyana, and mit dardana Of course, the list as such has not played much important role the evolution of Jaina thought but it 18 this list that stands at the basi tho celebrated scheme of the gunasthanas as will become obvious if the ditional order of items 19 changed into the following mith, adarsana, ar yakhyana, parlgroha, Arambha, maya Then it can be seen that the sway the first itom extends upto the 3rd gunasthana, that of the second upto 4th, that of the third upto the 5th, that of the fourth upto the 7th, of the fifth upto the 10th Thus the trend of argumentation exhibitec the above Acaranga passages led to the formulation of the doctrinec apratas on the one hand and to that of the 14 gungsthanas on the ot However, the latter doctrine also incorporates the tradition of several o tronds and let us consider them in turn The Jainas had & tradition of cataloguing evil mental state and mitting that an ideal monk is free from them all In the course of 1 Page #9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Historical Evaluation of the Ancient Jaina Texts four of these got crystallized under the technical general damo kasaya , they were krodha (anger), mana (pride), maya (deceit), lobha (greed) In the gunasthana scheme it is conceded that even a monk - nay, even a monk who has given up violence altogether - might still be under the sway of kasayas Thus the monk free from all violence has to traverse the gunasthanas 8th to 10th just with a view to getting rid of kasayas Similarly, the Jalaas had a tradition of submitting that an ideal monk attains moksa at the end of his life But in the course of time it began to be added that a monk who is to attain moksa at the end of his life first becomes omoisclont and that he does so as soon as he gets eld of kasqyas Thus the monk who has got rid of kasa yas in the 10th gunasthana automatically reaches the 12th and becomes omniscient Again, since long had the Jainas been speaking of one under the away of kasayas and one not under their sway But in the course of time a distinc. tlon began to be made between one who has got rid of kasayas (calledksinakasaya) and one who has only suppressed them (called upadantakasaya) And It was argued that it is only a ksinakasaya who becomes omniscient and attains molsa in this life while an upalantakasaya must fall back to a stato vitiated by kasayas before he can make progress agaio Thus one who only suppresses kasdgas in the 10th gunasthang reaches the 11th and then falle back to a lower ono Lastly, since long had the Jainas been speaking of an ideal monk attelning moksa but they did not conceive of somo ritual accessarily preceding moksa Of course, it was lald down that a monk who, owing to old age or the like, 18 not in a position to strictly follow the rules of monasticism ought to pat an end to his life (presumably in order to ensure his moksa) but that is a different matter However, in the course of time it began to be maintained that a brief-duration ritual in the form of entering a state of absoluto motionlessness must necessarily precede the attainment of moksa It is this ritual - called sallonkarana - that is to be performed in the 13th gunasthana while moksa itself 18 attained in the 14th The full-fledged scheme of 14 gunasthanas is to be found in cortalo texts which prove to be of rather late origin precisely becauso a good gumber of other texts, even wblle containing what might be called steps immediately preparatory to this scheme (some of the most important of these steps being hinted in the abovo paragraphs), are innocent of this scheme itself A veritable Harpalne of the latter type of texts is the Bhagavansutra But the texts collected in the Acarangasutra 1 Srutaskandha and Salraktangasutra I Srutaskandha (also certain texts collected in the Ultaradhyayarasitta) are representative of an oven earlier stage - Dot only because they are in Docent of the so many technical Page #10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ & DIXIE terms which even the Bhagayatisatra employs (to say nothing of the late texts with finally standardized technical terms) but also because of the general outlook on life This leads us to consider a question of very gre. importance Today it soems obvious that the Jaina church should be divided int a class of monks and a class of laymen But thero exist certain Jaina tex to which auch division is perhaps foreign There we find the class of monk confronted with the reguler society as a whole - uodivided into a Jaida secto and a non-Jaina one. The reason 18 that in the time of Buddha and Mahz vira and in their part of the country the regular society collectively stoc host to the mass of mooks grouped in the form of numerous fraternitie Not that every monk was welcome at every door For people had the fre dom to make choice of the particular monks they would like to entertain as also the freedom to refuse alms to a monk But they were not groupe to the form of various lay communities owing allegiance to the respectiv fraternities of monks All this of course means that the society in questic felt the necessity of having in its midst so many monks - and the monks ko many persuasions The necessity was substantially of the same kind was served by the Brahmin - that is to say, essentially and primarily a relig ous kind of necessity Nay, the Brahmin himself was present by the si of these monastic fraternities and found himself almost in the same situ tion as the latter - that ia to say, be too was without a fixed cllentele Hc and why the situation took such a turn is a matter for investigation b that it did so seems certain Gradually, however, the regular society did g divided into several lay com muities owing allegiance to Buddhism, Jainisi Brahmanism eta But since most of the Jaina texts now before us postde this roligious subdivision of the sociely an impression is created as if the was no period when the Jaina monks catered to the needs of the socie as a whole rather than to those of a subsector thereof But a careful rea ing of the Acaranga I Srutaskandha, Sztrakytanga 1 Srutaskandha (as also certa chapters of the Ultaradhyayana) should convince one that these texts do I envisage the possibility of there belog a fixed community of Jaina laymi Here contrast is constantly made belween the life of a monk and that a householder - the former something to be commended, the latter somethi to be condemned In this connection the later texts make use of the cruc conoept of Sraddha (abbreviation for samyat-Sraddha and havlog for ita ayi nyms samyaktva, san yagdisti, samyagdarsana) and they tell us that what di ingqishos a Jalna householder from the non-Jajaa is that sraddha 19 presi in the former and absent in the latter Again, these texts detail a num of ath1co-religious performances which a particular Jaina householder und takes and which set him midway between an ordinary Jalga householt Page #11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Historical Evaluation of the Ancient Jalna Texts and a Jaina monk Thus we hear of the twelve vows of a pious Jalna householder and of his eleven pratimas In the gunasthana scheme a kind of faal 8eal was put on the whole development and we are told that the gunasthanas 1st to 3rd cover a person in whom even fraddha 18 absent, the 4th a householder in whom fraddha is prosent but who undertakes no additional plous performances, the fifth a householder in whom Sraddha is prosent and who undertakes additional pious performances, (the gunasthanas 6th onward cover the various grades of Jaina monks but we need not consider them in the present context) of all this multifarious preoccupation with the problems of Jaloa laity there is virtually no bint in texts like the Acaranga I Srutaskandha and Satrakrianga I Srutaskandha and the conclusion is inescapable that they represent the earlier stratum of Jaina ethical speculation just as the texts delineating the gunasthana scheme in its final form represent its latest stratum , (a large mass of texts representing the intermediate stratum is to be found in the Bhagvatisatra - but a good number elsewhere too). In terms of absolute chronology the society's subdivisions into numerous lay communities was complete nearabout the time of Asoka whose policy of religious tolerance was partly a cause and partly a consequence of this subdivision For Asoka must have seen that the mutual antipathies of the riyal religious sects had the sinlster possibility of marring the peace of society, on the other hand, each such sect, as a result of being allowed the freedom of pro. pagation, must have found itself in a position to contribute its maximum to the wellbeing of society and thus wia permanent adherents In any case, ever since the problem of laity entered the thought-horizon of Jaina authors ever new themes and motifs began to oharacterize Jaina texts For example, texts like Acaranga I Srutaskandha and Sutrakrtanga Srutaskandha assured to a monk the prospect of moksa and nothing but moksa But a householder, however plous, could not be promised moksa and yet he had to be promised something He was promised the life of a god in some heavenly region , and then it was added that a monk too, in case bis conduct was somewhat short of the ideal, would be next born as some similar god This la its turn led on the one hand to an elaboration of a complete cosmography 10corporating an account of numerous beavenly regions and on the other hand to a composition of legends describing how a ploua householder or a Jaina monk came to earn the title to be born in ono of these heavenly regions This, for oxample, is the motif present in a large majority of legonds that have been collected in the Bhagavallstra Again, thus was given an impetus to the composition of independent stories narrating how a character received . in this life or 10 another - the good or bad consequence of his corrosponding deeds Thus, for example, came into existence the stories collected in the Jhardharmakatha, Upasakadaba, Antakyddaba, Anuttaraupapatikadaka, Vipakasrula, Nirayavalika - texts which stand at the head of that mighty and magnificent stream of story-literature produced by the later Jalne authors Particularly Page #12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 10 KK Dixit noteworthy in this connection are the biographies - often covering numero rebirths - devoted to what came to be designated maha purusas or falak purusas (i e mighty personages) These include 24 fundamental preache of Jelnism (Tirthankara), 12 universal monarchs (Cakravartin), 9 triplets of ty heros (Baladeva and Vasudeda) and one villain (Pratiasudeva) Lastly, the nec was felt for providing the Jaina householder with a daily short-service, ac it was promptly devised To judge from the Bhagavatsutra, samayika w its name and it consisted of a temporary mental renunciation of all one worldly possession (though we can form no idea of the procedure in all i details) But later on, this service came to consist of six steps - VIZ Samayik Gatiroinfatislava, Vandana, Pratikramana, Kayotsarga and Pratyakhyana, ster collectively called Avakyaka and described in the Apabyakesulra Curious the texts seldom touch upon the question of slapa-worship, Idol-worship or th like, though the archeological evidence definitely proves the prevalence these modes of worship among the Jalgas of the post-Asokan period TH Bhagavatisulra describes samayika as being performed in a place calle framanopatraya and it gives the same pausadhatala to the place where th householders undertake special pious performancos - but neither of these seen to be the description for a stupa-house or a temple It is in connectio with the cosinographical accounts that the texts speak of stapa, caitya-orky and jinalaya - as adoroing the various heaventy regions; nay, in this conte we even hear of the bones-of-a-Jina placed in a basket and hanging froi & peg attached to a column From this we might suppose that the authoi of these texts wore having in mind the fact that the contemporary Jain community was used to the worship of stupas, cautya-orksas, finalayas, th bones-of-a-Jina In any case, these modes of worship were specificall suited to the requirements of a householder and a monk had little use fo them That is to say, the impetus in this direction too came from the circu mstance that a body of householders had come to form a part and parc of the Jaina Church The developments detalled just above had their repercussion in tho vei organisational method of the Jaina monks themselves, and that deserves close study In the time of Buddha and Mahavira and in their part of th country the cult of wandering ascetias had become a recognized institution Most emphatically 18 it indicated by Asoka's bracketing together of Sramani and Brahmanas as the two types of holy men flourishing in his regime Fc Sramanas are none else but these wandering ascetics and their being place on a par with the Brahmins 19 significant Of course, the Sramanas ha their own differences on questions of theory and practice but that follov from the very fact of their being grouped in the form of various sects an is a different matter, In any case, the Jainas were one of the various Sramai sects of those times and they are the only such sect to suryive in the cour Page #13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Historical Evaluation of the Ancient Jaina Texts try upto this day There exist bumber of Jaina texts that deal with the organisational principles of the life of an authorized monk The picture of such life that emerges from the texts like Acaranga I Srutaskandha and Sutra kylanga I Srutaskandha is one of extreme austerity Thus while incidentally mentioning where a monk was to be found seated the Acaranga speaks of the cremation-ground, the root of a tree, the open sky, the quarter of a potter - the implication being that these are the only places where a monk might seek shelter By way of contrast we might refer to the texts which lay down as to what type of quarters with a householder a monk might accept for residence and what type of them he might not But even these texts do not speak of a regular quarter specially meant for the residence of monks - not because residence in such quarters posed do problems but because it involved the violation of certain scruples Thus one of the most conspicuous injunctions addressed to a monk is that he should not accept food, clothibg, begging-bowl etc that are specially prepared for his sake And this means that he could also not seek residence in quarters that are specially prepared for his sake But archeological evidences definitely prove that since pretty old days had the Jaina monka been putting up in quarters specially built for themselves We have already referred to the Bhagavattsutra mentioning framano pasraya and though the context does not decisively settle the issue the probability is that we are here bearing of the residence-quarters shelterlog the monks Another evidence is also perhaps relevent in this connection In the narrations of the Bhagavali sutra Mahavira 18 usually described as takiog shelter in a caltya and the point seems to be that the Lord was in the practice of putting up at a public place but at a public place that was not specially built for his sake Be that as it may, Janda monaataries came into existence in all those parts of the country where Jainism found support-just as Buddhist monastries came into existence in those where Buddhism did A monastry was usually equipped with a shrine so that the laity would then have an occasion both to listen to the sormon and to worship the derty, (the Bhagavalisutra accounts of Mahavira's public addresses are perhaps but a prototype for this state of affairs) In later times, when constructing independent temples became a widespread practice the residence-quarters of the monks began to be built in atter separation from the temples Thus a historical study of the Jaina monk's quarter of residence is bound to throw interesting light on the ideal envisaged for him by his spiritual guides For the rest we have got special texts devoted to the problems of monastic life and they are broadly divislble into two sets viz (1) the problems of how a monk has to behave in relation to his fellowmonksto those senior to bim lo status, to those equal to him, to those junior to him, (11) the problems of how & mook has to behave in relation to the laity - wbile begging for food, clothing, shelter and the like. For the former Page #14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ KK Dixte set of problems the basic text is the Vyayaharasitra, for the later the Kalpa. sutra (plus the Parqusanakalpa of the Dasasrutaskandha), the Nisuhasutra is a somewhat peculiar sort of compilation of both the sets of problems The problem of explation - to be incurred in the case of the ylolation of monastio rules - is also dealt with in the Vyavaharasutra (while the peculiarity of the Nisithasutra lies in its arranging its entire material in terms of the explations to be thus incurred) The problems of begging etc discussed in the Kalpasutra etc are not arranged in a systematic fashion but a definite step in that direction is taken in the Acaranga II Srutaskandha I and II Adhyayanas For in this text ne stand almost on the doorstep of the celebrated doctrine of 5 samitis The 5 samitls are the five items 10 connection with which a monk has to be well vigilant , they are (1) esana (begging) (11) Trya (movement) (111) bhasa (speech) (iv) adana-niksepa (receiving things and put. ting them at a proper place) and (v) ufcara prastava (evacuation and urination) As can be seen, the first three items are of the utmost importance and they receive a considerable detailed and systematic treatment in the text in question, the fifth item too is here touched upon but the fourth is conspicuous by its absence) This proves that the text, though fairly late, was yet earlier than the dato of the formulation of this doctrine of samitis Lastly wo may take note of the popular-didactic texts devoted to these very problems which are the province of the texts like Kolpa, Vyavahara, Nisitha The most important text belongiog to this class 13 the Dasaugikatikasutra but certain chapters of the Uttaradhyayanasitra and many of the Dasasrutaskandha fall in the game category In the end one more facet of the activity of the Jaina authors deserves consideration It pertains to their preoccupation with ontological problems In a text like Acaranga I Srutaskandha the one ontological tenet to be treated at length 18 the noteworthy Jalna doctrine of the six classes of living beings According to this doctrine, a living being might belong to one of tho following six classes : earth, water, fire, air, plant, mobile being Of co. urge, the text also throughout presupposes that a soul resides in a body which it leaves at the time of death in order to take up another one - unlegg it has caracd the right of moksa But the ontological queries connected with this whole doctrine are not raised here In fact, it is in the Bhagaoatisutra that most of the fundamental tenets of Jaina ontology aro mentioned at a greater or lesser length Considering the logic of the situation it appears probable that the following has been the order of these tenets engaging the attention of the theoreticlans (1) the nature of soul (ii) the nature of body (ii) the nature of matter in geporal

nature of kala 13 Thus we have arrived at four viewpoints for tracing the historical evaluation of the contents of Jalna texts viz (1) the viewpoint of a systematic treatment of ethical problems (i) the viewpoint of a reference to the problems pertaining to laity (1) the viewpoint of an elaboration of the rules of monastic life (IV) the viewpoint of a full-fledged treatment of ontological problems Additional clues for determining the chronology of Jaina texts are provided by a consideration of their form- that is, their style of composition, their metre, their language As for style of composition, the earlier Jaina texts seem to have been of the form of ethical exhortation such as we find in the Aaranga I Srutaskandha, Sutrakrtanga I Srutaskandha, Dasavakalika and Uttaradhyapana The Uttaradhyayana also contains stories and parables which too seem to be rather old as is to be judged from an assessment of their contents A new form of composition 18 introduced in the Dasasrutaskandha viz a number-wise cataloguing of entities, a form whose classic efflorescence is to be seen in the Sthanangasatra and Samavayangastra which, however, contain material from all ages This was a form of composition suited to the most elementary level of theorization, but a more advanced such form appears in the Bhagavansulra where a question 15 posed, an answer to it is proposed and the reason stated for the same Really speaking, what we have here is the seed-form of the later commentary literature where too the reasoned statements are made in support of a theory under consideration Then there are texts which contain pure descriptive accounts such as the Acaranga 1 Srutaskandha ballad in praise of Mahavira and the portions of Juabhigamasaira and Jambudvipaprajhapti which seek to work out an elaborate cosmographic scheme Sometimes theoretical matters too appear under the form of a descriptive account and a classic such case is the Prajnapanasutra But this text is to be viewed rather after the manner of the Brahma nical sutra texts to which a commentary was to be provided orally That is to say, in the Prajnapanasutra theses are put forward but reasons in support of them are left to be understood with the help of a commentary-oral or otherwise As for metre, the Jaina texts are composed in Prakrit and the standard Prakrit metre is Arya But Arya is a later metre and we have before us texts which contain no Arya simply because they belong to an age when Arya was yet to make its appearance Thus the Acaranga I Srulaskandha Page #16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 14 K K Dixit contains (besides prose) Anustubh, Trislubh, Jagan, old Arya, the Sutakrtanga Srutaskandha contains Anustubh, old Valtaliya, Vautaliya, old Arya, Dasav 1 kalika and Uttaradhyayani mostly contain Anustubh (and rarely old Vartal and old Arya) That 18 to say, in all these texts (mostly composed in vera Arya in its later standard form 18 conspicuous by its absence It 18 in t Niryuktis which represent the earliest stratum of the commentary literatu that Arya in its later form comes to be employed rather exclusively and t tradition is continued by the subsequent versifiers As for language, the Jaina texts exhibit an almost regular uniforml but this is because they are mostly composed in prose and so in the cour of transmission even in the older texts the archaic linguistic forms come be replaced by their standard counterparts It is only in the case of t Acaranga I Sralaskandha that we find archaic linguistic forms present prose as well as verse The Sutrakytanga I Srutaskandha, Datararkalika at Uttaradhyayana are exclusively in verse and they contain a good number archaic linguistic forms Lastly, a word about a bit of external evidence useful for determini the chronology of Jaina texts The Jainas are unanimous in maintaining th the twelve texts classed as Anga are the composition of Mahavira's immedia disciples The Digambaras further maintain that these texts are all lost b the Svetambaras are in possession of what they consider to be 11 of then that is, all of them minus the Drstivada A close study of these 11 ter should convince one that they are not the composition of one time, it even difficult to point out to a nucleus that was composed at one time ai later on filled up with much extraneous material to give us these texts ours That is to say, the orthodox tradition regarding the composition Jaina texts 18 a later growth and substantially unsound Under these con tions what alone remains to be done is to establish the relative chronolo of Jaina texts-Angas and the rest-on the basis of an examination of th contents and form-particularly the former On all counts the Acaranga Srutaskandha and Sutrakrtanga I Srutaskandha contain the oldest mater and fairly old material is preserved also in the Dasanaikalika and Uttaradl ayana A close study of these four texts should form a good starting po for a historical evaluation of the anclent Jaina texts Page #17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ ON SOME SPECIMENS OF CARCARI (A type of verse Composition in Classical Sapskrit, Prakrit, Apabhramsa and Old Gujarati) HC Bbayani 1 Onwards from about the seventh century, we find in Sanskrit and Pra krit works numerous references to Carcari or Carcarika (Prakrit forms caccan, caccarla, Early Now Indo-Aryan forms camcan, cacari etc) as a typo of dance associated with the Spring Festival The dancing parties which, on these occasions, were taken out in procession, or whloh performed in the publio park, were also called Carcart The dance was accompanied by music and song We find numerous references to Carcari in abovo-noted senses in classical works eg Harsa's Ratnayali, Haribhadra's Samaraiccakaha, Uddyotana's Kuvalayamala, Rajasekbara's Karburamanjart and other works including several Apabhranga and Early New Indo-Aryan poems 2 Further, we find the terms Carcart, Carcarika, Cacari etc used also in one of the following meanings - (1) a type of musical composition (used in the Carcari dance) (2) different types of metres (mostly Apabhramsa) (3) a type of Laya or Tala (4) difforent types of literary compositions Obviously these meanings are interconnected In fact the history of the character, form and structure of Carcart over the long period stretching from about the sixth to the sixteenth century has multifarious aspects, and it requires to be worked out from very widely scattered bits of information that are mostly to be gleaned from vague descriptions and casual reforences. 3 Tho present paper, however, h88 quite a limited alm It seeks to give some idea of the form and character of Carcari songs on the basis of a few actual specimens traced in Prakrit, Apabbrama and Sanskrit works Ono considerably complicating factor in this matter is the fact that Carcart seems to be closely allied to some other Uparupaka types like Rasaka, Hallisaka and Natyarasaka All those had quite obviously several features la common, 80 much so that at times one of the types 19 said by some of the Alamkara authorities to be the same as some other one Rasaka 19 identified with Hallisaka or Carcari, Carcart is identified with Nat yarasaka, etc In fact thero bas been considerabio confusion and uncertainly about the shared and exclusive features of these types - especially 10 later writings, which had Page #18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 16 HC Bhayant no direct contact with a living tradition Thig atate of affairs appears more or less irremediable, because there is very little that is available by way o actual specimens of these literary types 4 Now we shall examine the following passages from some Prakrit anc Sanskrit works for the light they can throw on the form and featurea o Carcast (1) The Carcart song at Kuvalayamala,1 $ 9, p 4, 1 27 to p 5, 1 7 (2) The Carcani song at Kupalayamala, $ 235, p 145, 1 7-8 (3) The Carcart song at Caupannamaha purusacariyap 1,91 (4) The Rasa aong at Upaminibhava prapancakatha, pp272-273 (5) The Rasa song at Prabhavakacarita, p 60, 11 11-15 and Prabandhakotas (6) The Carcuri description at Karburamahjari, iv, v 16-19 THE CARCARI SONG AT KUVALAYAMALA, p 4-5 5 At Kuvalayamala $9 (pp 4-5) Uddyotaga narraton how Sodharmagvamin enlightened five hundred robbers by performing before them a Rasa dance during which he sang an instructive Carcart song? Fortunately for us, Udd. yptana has also given this song . It consists of four atadzas (Vastuka) and a refrain (Dhruvaka) It begins with the Dhruvaka which is repeated after each of the Vastukas if we symbolize the Dhruvaka by D and the Vastuka by V, the arrangement is like this DV, DV, DV, DVD 6. The metre of the Dhruvaka is to be identified as Magadh or Magadhika, 1o apite of slight difficulty in the third and the fourth Pada It is a Matrametre with the schome 4 + 4 +ucu - (14 Matras) for the odd padas, and 6 + 4 + v-v- (16 Mairas) for the even Padas The rhyme schomo 18 a, b, c, d The text of the third and the fourth Pada seems to be defective, as it is short by ono Matra in the later pact The metre of the Vastukas Is Mafjart 10 It 18 a Prakrit metre of the Khanjaka clana with the schemo 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + w - (21 Matras) for each of its four Padas 7 From the typical pattern of arrangement of the Dhruvaka and the Vastukas in this Carcant of the Kuvalayamala we can easily identify its structure as Dvi padi A Dopady according to Virabadka consists of four Vastukas each of which is followed by a Guika Between a Vastuka and a Guka we can interpolate, if we choose, any one of the followiag four a Vidan, a Doipathaka, an Ekaka, a Vistartaka But when tho Interveniog Vidari is a Dhruyaka, 1o it is used as a refrain to be repeated after each Vastuka, the following uka was to be omitted This means that in the latter case the Dvi padi consisted of four Vastukas each of which was followed by the Dhrudaka, This structure of Dopadt is given by Virahanka on the authority of spyted prosodjsts Kambala and Agvatara, Satavahana and Hariveddha. Page #19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ On Some Specimens of Carcant 17 The Janalpay?l?, composed towards the end of the sixth centory AD, defines Dorpade as a complex of a Bhanga-dri pada and a Ginta in that order At times a Vidart was interpolated between the two Each one of the four lines of a Bhanga-dupadi stanza consisted of three to seven Ganas of either the Caturmatra or the Pancamatra type Bach one of the four liges of a Vidari stanza contained fourteen Matras The commentary on Janasrayi 5 44 says that Dripadt was among that class of metres which was in vogue with the common people 8 Moreover there 18 also some other significant information that we gather from Virahanka According to VJS IV 50 one class of the Rasaka type of Prakrit compositions was characteristically made up of Dolpadts that had Vastukas followed by Vislortakas or Vidaris The Carcant song at Kuvolayamala 89 closely resembles this class of Rasakas composed 10 Drupadis The difference between them was possibly this that as against the longer Rasaka, the Carcari song was made up of only one Dvipadi that contained four complex units The Janasrayt too has treated the Rasaka18 along with the Dvipadt 9 The form of the Carcari at Kuvalayamala $9 perfectly fits in the scheme of Virabanka's Dvipade In the absence of definite Illustrations the preotse character of the latter bas remained considerably obscure The metrical form of this Kuvalayamala Carcari provides us with a clear instance of the Dolpadt and this fact enhances its importance 10 We may digress here a bit and note that at Caupannamahapurisacariya p 186, st 90-97, for the description of the leave-taking of warriors prior to a march, Silanka bas employed a Dripadt The eight verses in the passage are made up of four metrically identical units, each of which has two constituents, viz a stanza in Mangart (or Khanjaka) followed by a stanza la Guka Similarly we have on pp 190-191 (8t 137, 139) of the same work two instances of the Manjarz-Gilika combination and it la significant that here the subject of description is spring season As already noted, the Janufayi defines Dupadi as made up of a Bhanga-Dvipadt followed by a Gitika 11 Thug our examination of the Carcart aong at Ruoalayamala 89 has yielded the following facts about the form and function of Carcari 1 Carcar was a song in Prakrit gung whilo porforming the Rasa dance It could be in the form of a Dorpadt which consisted of four Vastukas accompanied by Dhrupaka This type of Dupadi has been described by Virahanke on the basis of an earlier prosodic tradition Page #20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 18 3 4 H C Bhayan! One class of the Rasaka type of Prakrit poems closely resemble the Carcart in form The four-partite Dvipad 19 not treated by some well-know prosodic authorities like Svayambha and Hemacandra But the do treat its basic units under the Dubhangika and Tribhangika the Sirsaka class of metres Actually their scheme of metrical clas< fication has a different basis, while the VJS prosodic traditic appears to be based on a type of Prakrit poems that went out Vogue during the later times The Caupannamahapurisacarlya h specimens of both the uses of Dopadi THE CARCARI SONG AT KUVALAYAMALA, p 145 12 At Kuvalayanala SS 235, p 145, II 7-8 we have another specimen of a Carca 80ng14 Prince Dappaphallha, who was drugged and out of his mind, described there as daauing a Carcarika, which did not have any connecte meaning or acceptable grammar This nonsensical Carcarika song is in sligh ly Prakritized Sanskrit and it is made up of a rhymed stanza in the Ch ttaka or Tolaka metrels (Bach line has four Saganas 18 - x 4) Unlik instance has no connection with th song 13 modified Sanskrit and no and its metre is such as 18 commo the Carcart at Kuvalayamala SS9, this Spring Festival Tas language of the Prakrit Tha song has only one stanza to Sanskrit and Prakrit THE SONG AT UPAMITIBHAV APRAPANCAKATHA, PP 272-273 13 King Ripudarana is described at Upamitibhavaprapancakatha p 272-273 as forced to dance a tri talaka Rasa and the accompanying song 18 given in st 438-442 From the two Carcarts of the Kuvalayamala di cussed above we know that the song accompanying the Rasa dance was calle Carcan So eventhough the song in the above-given context of the Upami bhavaprapancakatha is not actually called Carcart, we may take it as the san functionally And a formal analysis of this song justifies our assumptio The song consists of four Vastukas, each of which is followed by Dhruvak But here the Vastukas and the Dhruvaka are in the same metre, while t prosodiats seem to prescribe different metres for them This deviation apa the metre of the song is significantly the same as employed in the Vastuk of the first Carcart of the Kuvalayamala, viz, Mangart. Eventhough it h been given the appearance of a Sanskrit Vrtta, and as such it has the for Ra+Na+Bha+Bha + Ra (i e---~), which would defi it as the metre called Sundara, Ramaniya or Manibhusana,17 really speakir its structure is intended to reflect the moraic form 3+3+4+4+4+ Employment of rhyme (clear rhymes in 438 a, b, 439 a, b, 441 a, b, c, Page #21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ On Some Specimens of Carcart 442 a, b) too gives out the Prakritic source of the metre We can therefore take this song as a Carcart with a Dvi padi structure THE SONG AT PRABHAVAKACARITA, P60 14 In the Vrddharadi-prabandha of the Prabhavakacarita, Viddhavadin is described as composing extempore a Rosaka song in Prakrit and giving a dance perfomance on the basis of that song, before a group of cowberde The actual song is also givenle (p 60 11 11-15) This incident la narrated also in the Prabadhakosa (p 16) with some variation Thoro the song 19 said to be in Ghindint metre No metre of this name can be traced in the available manuals of Prakrit metres. Actually the metre of the stanze can be identified as Chittaka (with some irregularity in the third line) And we know that the second Carcart of the Kuvalayamala is in this very metre, which is also found in one of the Apabbramga songs in the fourth act of the Vikramorvattya and is treated by Virahanka 19 So we see that for using the metro Chittaka for Carcai7 songs there was a well establis bed tradition THE CARCARI DESCRIPTION AT CAUPANNAMAHAPURISACARIYA, P 191 15 So far we have considered some passages which either contain a Carcart song 80 specified or a song that was used in the Rasaka dance Besides these, we have to note a few passages which Indirectly throw somo light on the character of the Carcari songs Theso passages purport to describe the performance of a Carcari dance or simply a Carcart at a spring festival, but the mode of description seems to have implications that aro useful for our present purpose 16 First we take up the description of Carcari occurring at Caupannamahapurisacariya, P 191 (st 143 and 144) This forms a part of the description of the Spring Festival for which purpose the author bas commonly used the Gatha metre, but as a significant variation, twice (la st 137 and 139) he has used Duipad 120 and in the two stanzas under discussion, ho haa used a special Samo-Catuspadt metre of twentyfour Matras per line The language of these stanzas is mixed with Apabbramga From the available works on Apabhramsa metres I have not been able to identify this metre But it seems to be a varlation of the Rasaka with two Matras added in the beginning and with the final syllable lengthened The general structure and rhythm is very close to those of the Rasavalaya (21 Matras per line divided as 6+4+6+- www with some variations, which was the standard metre of the Apabbramsa Rasabandha and wbich 18 also used by Jinadattasari for his Jinavallabhasar Carcari in Old Gujarati, composed in the beginning of the twelfth century Page #22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ C Bbayani THE CARCARI DESCRIPTION AT KARPURAMANJART, TV, 16-19 17 Simllarly in the vivid and detailed description of Carcart given by the Vidusaka in the fourth act of the Karpuramahjart (v 10-19), we find that the metre for the first six stanzas is Upajati of Indrarajra and UpendraDagra while that for the remaining four stanzag is Svagata The latter is defned as Ra+Na+Bha+Ga+Ga 1e --UU-WU-- As a Varnaurtta It resembles the metre employed in the Rosa song of the Upamitibhavaprapancakathaa in that if we cut down the last four syllables of the latter and treat the eleventh syllable (now final) as long we get Soogata Looked upon as a Matra metre its structure and rhythm are those of the very widely used Apabhramsa metro Vadanaka (scheme 6+4+4+2, the last four Matras having the form www or --> LATER DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FORM OF CARCARI 18 Thus our examination of the Sanskrit and Prakrit passages from various texts having some direct or indirect bearing on determining the formal character of Carcait songs has shown that in the earlier period Dvi padt was used for composing theso songs, but other metres also like Chittaka and perhaps Rasznalayas2 and Vadanaka were employed for this rurrove 19 Carcart became established in later Apabhranisa and Early Vernacular literatures as a literary type or genre And here also we can seo how the Prakrit studies are quite indispensable for a thorough understanding end assessment of Early New Indo-Aryan literatures In many a matter of language and literaturo thore has been a continuous tradition without break from Prakrit through Apabhramsa to Early New Indo-Aryan, and much of the last cannot be even properly understand without help from the other two CARCARI IN APABHRAMSA AND OLD GUJARATI 20 We know about two Carcar poems from the Apabbramsa literature One 19 the Cuccart composed in the twelfth century by Jinadattasuri to eulogize Jinavallabhagar123 It consists of fortyseven stanzas in the Rasavalaya metre. It is the same metro to which the Apabhramsa pocm Sathdasarasaka is principally composed 16 The other Caccart is known to us only by its name. While giving his personal acoouat Vira, the author of the Apabhramsa poem Jambusamicariya (11th cent) loforms us that ono of the four poems composed by his father was Sarlinahacaccanto io a Carcari about the Jain Tihankara santinatha, Nothing more is known about it, Page #23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ On Some Specimens of Carcar 21 Some six Caccaris or Cacarts are known to literature They were composed in the 14th Century them are given below*7 Title Carcarka Caccart Dharma-Caccart Author Solana Anonymous ..

and the following verses, the author tries to defend bis composition of a lexicon of damos in a foreign language by showing that the learned alwaya desire to bave proficiency lo various speeches in order to obtain a place of honour in different royal courts In the fifth verse, he cites the example of the famous astronomer Varubanubira, who was resplendent like the sun (mihira), referred to the various rasis like mesa etc, in yalana torms like kriya, tauri (taurus) etc Hence Pratapa Bhatta wrote and spoke in the Arabic language We do not know of the Arabic work or works composed by Pratapa Bhafta The seventh verse 18 not quite clear, and there may be some scrjbal error but it suggests that due to a remark of Haribhrama (Guj Harabbama), king of Ilavarana (modern Idar, Iladurga), the minister Salaksa composes this list of names, ie, Parasjoamamala The name Haribhrama is spelt Haribhrahma in verse 4 at the end and this seems to be a Sanskritization of Harabhama or Harabbami, the name of a local ruler Ilayarana must be regarded as the same as Iladurganagara referred to in verse 4 at the end Idar was called fladurga Verse 2 at the end, suggests that the wise (orbudha, learned) Salaksa had composed and (got) written (1 e engraved) on the atone slab (or slabs) on the side (or sides) of the gavaksa on the south wbile entering the eas tern-gateway of the Rudramahalaya - a Sloka in the sragdhara metre, wbich had a commentary in six different metres, the extent of the commentary being 600 granthas or perhaps 106 granthas It may be difficult to imagine buch a long text of 600 granthas (18200 lettera) inscribed on one or both sides of the gavakpa Perhaps satsatamiiath has to be interpreted here as Sadadhikah fatam Sloka can here refer to a Stuti or Stavana, a hymn of praise (composed in the Sragdbara metre) According to verse 3, Salaksa bad composed a Sukta-lata, an Alamkrticaya (which was probably called Alankara-samuccaya ?), a Vagdevata-stavana, a bhagya on the Surya-sataka (of Mayura'), lucldly written work called Chandourtti, and a poetical work called Citrarnava, which latter was full of ben - flosa and then he composed the Sabdania sa 8 Soe Rasamala (Gujarati, 3rd ed), Vol 1, p 411, Page #34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ UP Shah In the verse 4, the author says that in the year 1422 of Vikrama era. in the beginning of the month of Caitra, he composed this corpus (ndhi) of name, (1e this Pirasinimamila) at the desire of king Haribhramha in The city of Madurga, which was the residence of both Sri (Prosperity) and Vidyt (Learning) Thus iccording to our author Idar was a seni of learoing and a progperous cits in VS 1422 (= AD 1365) when this work was composed The authors claim does not appear to be wholly unwarranted, since he himself had composed several works We do not know anything about the history of king Haribrahma (Har. ubhanji) or Haribhrama However, it would be interesting to note here that onc Rimadeva Vyasa, who composed three Chaya-attakas (namely Subhadr iparinaya, Ram tbhyud sya and Pandavabhyudiya), was patronised by king Haribhrania and his grandson king Ranamalla Rama havi refers to Hanbhrama as his patron in his Subhadraparinaya, but to "Raamalla the grandson of Haribhrana' as his patron in the Pandayabhyudaye A manus cript of Punday abhyudaya is preserved in the India ofrce Library (no 2353). from wbich, Shri Kbiste has quoted relevant passages in the introduction to his edition of Subhadraparmaya In Subhadraparinayi, the author clearly says that his patron was Raatr audha-cudamani, 10 & scion of the Rithod family We know that King Ranamalla, a ruler of the Rathod family of Idar was a valiant kin; who is the hero of lbs famous old Gujarati poem "Ran amal -Chanda' composed by one Sridhara, and who (Ranimalla) lived around AD 1390 - AD 1400 Muslin bistorians have referred to the Sucesylv. altack on Idar and the fights with the king or kings of Idar, especially Ranamalla who refused to pay tributes voluntarily Rana malla 18 certainly a bistorical figure But authentlo genealogy of bus predecessors 19 not yet known pp 415,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Parasinamamala and Mahi pakosa Thus it 19 likely that Lunakaranaji was probably also called Haribhrama or Haribrahma But the above genealogy may not be alsolutely reliable and more research is necessary Salaksa or Salakhana is a game known from Prajastis of Jaina donors, and it is not unlikely that Seleksa was of Bania-caste ___A manuscript (10 12121) of a lexicon (Sabdaratnakara) called Mahapakosa, preserved in the Oriental Lastitute has the following entry at the end of the first kanda (folio

Is A D 1365 It is, therefore, highly probable that minister Mabipa was the son of minater Salaksa, the author of Sabdanlasa Both father and son were learned scholera and ministers in different courts That there was considerable literary activity at Idar In this Age can be also gleaned from the fact that the Jaina monk Gunaratna suri composed his Kraqaratnasamuccaya 10 Idar in V S. 1466 = AD 1400 There apem to have been Jalna manuscripts librarlos hero from olden days, at Page #36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ UP Shah present there are two Bhandaras, one Digambara and the other Svetambara, the Svetambara collection has a well-known palm-leaf manuscript with llustrations, painted in c 14th century AD The Digambara collection also contains some illustrated manuscripts, recently discovered by Shrimati Sarayu Doshi, which go to prove continued and considerable art activity at Idar even in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries 34 It may further be noted that Mahipa the author of Anekartha-Tilaka (Kosa) can now be identified with confidence with Mahipa, the author of Sabda-Ratnakara or Mahrpakoja referred to above At the end of the Anekartha-Tilaka we find the following verse zrImAnsomabhavaH salakSasacivo vAkaNThabhUSA saprAsU surta mahIpamamala saubhAgyadevI ca yam / sakorNAkhya ihojjvala samucite vidvadvirA pUrNatA

Mahipa) states that he was the son of Soma (or of Lunar Race) and that his mother's name was Saubhagyadevi" Now we can see that the father of Mabipa was Salakse-Saciva (e Minister Salaksa) born of Soma (ie son of Soma or of Lunar Race) It seems that Salaksa was called Sarasvatikan habharans (Vakkanthabbosankabbr) M M Pathar the editor of Anekartha-Tilaka, has shown that the earliest ms utilised by him was copied in Samvat 1490 1434 A D He also notes that Stein (in Cat of Kashmir and Jammu mss p 52) records the date of composition of Anekartha-tilaka as Samvat 1430 = AD 1374, on the basis of a ms existing in the library at Jammu Since the known date of composition of Sabdavilasa by Minister Salaksa the father of Mahipa is 1365 A,D, it is not unlikely that Mahipa composed bis Anekartha-Tilaka in c 1374 AD and the Sabda-Ratnakara or Mahipakosa in about 1375 AD or even little later, but it is certain that Mahipakota was composed before 1436 A D and the Anekartha-Tilaka before 1434 A D It is important to note that according to the Yavananamamala of Salaksa referred to above, some more parts of Rudramahalaya were in situ around A D 1365 4 4nekartha-Tilaka of Mahipa,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ FRESH LIGHT ON BHAMAHA-VIVARANA V M Kulkarni Till recently Udbhata'a commentary on the Karyalamkara of Bhamaha, generally known as Bhamaha-vivarana (BV) was presumed to have been lost beyond recovery In 1962, however, Gnoli published some fragments from this commentary1 Gnoit's identification of his publication with BV was doubted by Dr Raghavan In his paper on Punaruktavadabbasa3 Dr K Krishnamoorthy came to the conclusion that the published fragments do represent the genuine Bhamaha-Divarana of Udbhata himself The study of Kalpalataviveka (KLV), however, throws some interesting light on this controversy, and goes a long way in support of Gnoli's claims Numerous passages of the commentary published by Gnoli are, beyond any shadow of doubt, the source of numerous passages in KLV They shed abundant light on some of the obscure, ambiguous and knotty verses in chapter V (Nyayanirnaya) of Bhamaha's Kavyalamkara It borrows most of the passages from BV when treating of dosas A good many of its pratikas, referring to Bhamaha's text, present variant readings from the printed texts Some of them are convincingly genuine readings The text of BV bristles with uncertain and doubtful readings, it is often mutilated as syllables, words, phrases and occasionally sentences are partly or entirely lost I quote below about a dozen passages from KLV which throw light on and render the corresponding passages from BV intelligible (1) Fr 16 (a) 11 2-8 These lines which treat of anyartha dosa (Bhamaha I 40) could be reatored with the help of the following passage from KLV 1) Udbhata s commentary on the Kavyalamkara of Bhamaha, Roma, Istituto Italiano per II Medio Ed Estremo Oriente,

Karma, - not necessarily in the form the ancients gave to it, but in the idea at its centre, - which at once strikes the mind and commands the assent of the understanding Nor does the austerer reason, distrustful of first impressions and critical of plausible solutlons, find after the severest scrutiny that the more superficial understanding, the porter at the gateways of our mentality, has been

in the East in one form or else in another, but to the Buddhists belongs the credit of having given to it the clearest and fullest universal counciation and the most Insis tent importance In the West, too, the idea has constantly recurred, but in external, in fragmentary glimpses, as the recognition of a pragmatic truth of experience, and most as an ordered ethical law or fatality set over against the self-will and strength of man " The Jainas have developed the doctrine of Karma on a scientific basis Karma etymologically means whatever is done, any activity It got associated with the after-cffects of action, both physical and mental Every ja (living being) is constantly active, expressing the activity in the thres fold functions of body, speach and mind it leaves behind traces of aftereflects in the physical and psychic forms I'very action, word or thought produces, besides its visible, invisible and transcendent effects It produces under certain conditions potential energies which forge the physical effects in the form of reward or punishment As in the case of a bond which continues to operate until, but loses its validity on, the repayment of the capital, so does the invisible ellect of an action remain in potential form after the visible effect has disappeared Actions performed in this life would be the causes 20 And the present life is the result of actions performed in previous lives So is the chain of life connected in the series of actions and their effects realised The Karma doctrine involves the idea of eternal metempsychosis Karl Potter in his Presuppositions of Indian Philosophies21 has tried to Interpret Karma as a form of habit Human being faces challenges from many sides which have to be met by birth, social action and by the appli cation of scientific techniques in order to be free from the bondage in life But the more subtle challenges lie underneath the surface, and arise from habits themselves, which continue after the conditions that engender them have been removed, and which engender new habits which in turn must be removed somehow This round of habits breeding habbits is a part of what is called in Sanskrit Samsara, the wheel of birth, which is governed by Karma, the habits themselves Karma is described in the Jaina Philosophy as a kind of dirt which accretus to the otherwise pure java by virtue of one's

the nature and significance of Karma CJ Juog, while distloguishing, Personal and the Collective Unconscious, hints at the possibility of comparing the archetypes of the Collective Unconscious to the Karma in Indian thought The Collective Unconscious stands for the objective psyche The personal layer ends at the earliest memories of infancy, but the collective layer comprises the pre-infantile period that Is the residue of ancestral life The force of Karmo works implicitly and determines the nature and development of personality The Karma aspect 19 essential to the deeper understanding of the nature of an archetype 29 Although it 18 possible to say that Kerme has essentially a reference to 10dividual differences and bence a personal acqisition, yet each individual has a common heritage which he shares with the community and which shapes his being The archetypes refer to the common beritage To this extent they refer to the Karma aspect However, Sung was primarily concerned with interpretation of dreams and fantasles in presenting his theory of the Collective Unconscious Had he developed the archetypes of the collective Unconscious, he would have reached the doctrine of Karma, the store-house of the physical and psychical effects of the past 24 Fundamentally, "the meaning of Karma is that all existence is the working of a universal Energy, a process and an action and a buildiog of things by that actlon, - an unbullding too, but as a step to farther building, - that all 1s & continuous chain 10 which every one llok 18 bound indissolubly to the past infinity of numberless links, and the whole governed by fixed relations, by a fixed association of cause and effect, present action the result of past action as future action will be the result of present action, all cause a working of energy and all effect too a working of energy" The moral sigoificance is that all our existence is a putting out of an energy which is in us and by which we are made and as is the nature of the energy which is put forth aa cause, so shall be that of the energy 23 Jung (CJ) Essays in Analytical Psychology (Personal and Collective or Transcendental Unconscious) p 76 Footnote

It 19 probable that Karma and Rebirth must have been pre-Aryan doctrines which were important in the Sramana culture and later assimilated in the Aryan thought by the time the Upanisads were clearly formulated The Indian view of Karna was doubtless of non-Aryan provinance and it was a kind of natural law og The doctrine of Karma for the first time appears in the Upanisad and was considered a

of rejecarnation of soul With the gradual emphasis of asceticism under the influence of Sramana culture, came the awareness of one's responsibility, here and hereafter Karma was linked up with the

primarily referred to the actions of the individuals Manu bas divided tho actions of men into bodily (kayika), verbal (vacika) and mental (manastka) as, for instance, murder and threat are kaylka, speaking untruth is sacika and desiring wealth of another is manasika 36 Karma as act has also been differentiated as sattvika (rigbt), ragasa (charged with emotions) and tamasa (ignorant) But regarding the effects of action Karma gets sancita, prarabdha and agami distiactions The distinction between sancita (accumulated), prarabdha (operating) and agami (in future) is also important

function as it determines not only his individual qualities, the circumstances of his life and fate, but also creates an external world to be experienced by the being in question 39 According to Sarvastivadins, the sun, the mountains and the rivers are only contents of my consciousness determined by Karma Not only the fate of all oarthly communities but those of an entire world system are determined by the Karma of all the apparent individuals who were born in it 40 The fruits of retribution of acts include not only the sensation but also everything that determines sensation Three kinds of acts produce agree able (sukha-vedaniya), disagreeable (duhkha) and indifferent aengations Simi. larly, some acts produce immediate effects because their retribution cannot be interrupted by an act allowing the fruit in another existence as, for instance, matricide, patricide and murder of an arhat ctc In other cases the retribution may be arrested by an acquisition of spiritual stage called ksantt (patience), anagami (quality of a saint) and arbatship An existence is projected or caused by Karma and human existence cannot be projected except by good Karma The fruits of Karma may be of general kind as for jogtance towards the end of a cosmic period (antarakalpa) plants are crushed by raing and stones and they bear little fruits The creation of Karm is the result of Karma The idea of the pollution of the soul due to karma has been largely allegorical in other religious philosophiog in ladie, while the Jainas 'have adopted it in the real sense of the word' and have worked out into an original systom 41 The Jaina conception of Karma must have been completely developed after a thousand years of Mahavira's nirvana The Sihananga, Uttaradhyayanasutra and the BhagavatIsutra contain general outline of the doctrine and the details have been worked out in the Karmagrantha, Pancasangraha and the Karmapraksi la working out the details, there have been two schools of thought

of Karma which express themselves first through fuelings and emotions, and secondly, in the chains of very subtle kinds of inatter invisible to the eye and the instruments of science It is then embodied and is affected by the environment, physical and social and spiritual We, thus, get various types of soul existence 52 Karma, according to the Jainas, is material in nature It is matter in a subtle form and it is a substantive force It is constituted of finer particles of matter The kind of matter fit to manifest Karma fills the universe It has the special property of developing the effects of merit and demerit By its activity due to the contact with the physical world, the soul becomes penetrated with the particles of Karmic body (Karma sarira) which is constantly attached to

merely a symbolic mark, affecting the soul in its physical nature This point of view has been worked out in detail in the form of mathematical calculations, in the Karmagrantha The Jaina tradition distinguishes two aspects 1) the physical aspect dravya-harma and 11) the psychic aspect (bhava-karma) The physical aspect comprises the particles of Karma (Karma-pudgala) accruing into the soul and polluting it The psychic aspect is primarily the mental states and events arising out of the activity of mind, body and speech They are like the mental traces long after the consclous states

Karmic particles which have become Jnanavarantya Karma veils knowledge, darsanavaraniya veils dariana Similarly the effect of one modaka is restricted to one day and another for two days so the duration of Karma working for long time like Thirty Sagaropamas or short time of forty-eight minuites In the case of varied intensity, as the pill measuring a prasti or two, so have the Karma particles under the influences of passions (Kasayas) due to Yoga (bodily, speech and mental activity) the soul attracts Karmic matter (Karma pudgala) which is then associated with the soul As a lamp with its wick draws in the oil and converts it into the flame which 19 its body, so does the soul attract, due to attachment etc the material aggregates and transforms them into Karmic matter 48 Karma can be distinguished into eight types: 1) Jnanavaraniya, that which obscures right knowledge, 2) darkandvaranya, that which obscures right intuition, 3) vedantya, arousing affective states like feelings and emotions, 4) mohantya, that which deludes right faith, 5) ayu-karma, determinig the age of the individual, 6) nama karma, which produces various circumstances collectively making up an individual existence like the body and other special qualities of individuality, 7) gotra karman, which determines the family, social standing, etc of the individual, and 8) antarayakarma which obstructs the inborn energy of the soul aud prevents the doing of good actions Each kind of Karma has its limits in time within which it must exhaust itself The accumulated Karma brings a transcendental hue or halo to the soul which is called lefya There are six Lalyas These Lelyas have predominantly a moral resultant Karma is a substantive force It has the property of developing the

there are five types of Jnana Tarantza harma The first four produce greater or less degree of obscuration But the lost one destroys omniscience altogether There are nine (vpes of darsudi zanija karma

celestial world The Name Karma has a large number of subtypes according to the various forms of embodied existence, with reference to gari, jall and barira Gotra Karma determines the status of an individual as of high and low Antar@yaKarma is of the following types : (1) that which obstructs the inclination of giving gifts (2) that which prevents the enjoyment of things (3) that which lasts

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ In the Vestibules of Karma 55 Of the eight main types of Karma, the four Jnanavaranly2, darsanavarantya, mohaniya and antardya are ghati Karma, as they obscure the capacity of knowledge and intuition, delude the soul into wrong ways and obstruct its inherent energy Some of them are completely obscuring (sarvaghali) and others are partially obscuriog (desnghat) But even in this the soul still retains an element of right knowledge and intuition, as a very dark and denge cloud cannot completely cover the lustre of the sun or the moon In that case it would mean the conversion of spirit into matter 50 The infinitesmal part of the pure and perfect knowledge ever remains, as a rule, uncovered in any form of existence of the soul 61 For example, Karma which covers Kepalojnana is regarded as sarva-ghat while other subtypes of Jnanavaraniya Karma are considered as deso-ghal Same is the case with Karma covering Kevala-darsana and that which covers other types of darsana The predilection for untruth (muthyalva) completely obscures the desire for truth Still the desire and capacity for knowing the truth about wordly things remains unobscured The analogy of the cloud is useful here also 12 The soul, thus, cannot lose all its characteristics even if it is infected by sarva-ghati Karma , otherwise it will be matter Defa-ghati Karma obscures knowledge partially It also obstructs in the same way intuition and energy For instance, even the least developed organisin has the minimum necessary energy for the process of metabolism and movement of individuals into different births due to antaraya Karma The aghat Karma (non-obscuring) consists of all the sub-types of (1) vedaniya, (2) nama (3) gotra and (4) Ayu Karma They do not obscuro any fundamental quality of the soul They only appear like ghati karma when experienced along with them 63 Karma bas also been classified into (1) auspicious (Subha) and inauspicious (Afubha) types Those which lead to enjoyment of pleasure are auspicious and those which lead to suffering are inauspicious However, perfect state is to be realised when all activities, auspicious or inauspicious, are stopped Thereby both types of Kacma are not accreted to the soul, Such activities lead to influx of Karmasrava by which Karma matter flows

God is not able to rule arbitrarlly without the law of Karma, on the contrary, Karma is the guiding force to which he must conform for the creation and the governance of the world The real proof of the truth of Karma theory is to be found in the words of the revealed scriptures or in the utterances of the great enlightened ones These revelations and utterances have been handed down for centuries to posterity In them they seek the really unshakeable foundation of their faith, just as Christian theologians derive the unassailable certainty of the immortality of the soul not from rational proofs, but from the revelations 59 The logical justification for the doctrine of Karma, the Jainas say, is not possible from the ultimate point (ntheaya-naya) It is the expression of the highest knowledge and experience of the seers We must accept it as authority Similarly when the ascetic, named Kaladevala, saw the newborn Siddhartha Gautama he was at once delighted and sad, delighted

being, just as your doubt is pratyaksa to me" IV The problem is how to escape from the bonds of Karma In anclent India philosophers referred to it in various ways The Mimams school has found out a way for obtaining the release from the bonds of Karma by giving instructions for performiog certain types of acts Acts are divided into three types (1) Netya (dady acts), like Sandhya (2) Nalmittika (occasional) like performance of rituals and worships on special occasions Both these kinds bave to be performed (3) Kamya are actions motivated by destres and impulses Then there are acts which are to be problbited nisiddha as they are motivated by desires and impulses By performlng the kamya actions one has to take a series of births according to the effects of Karma accrued and has to experience the effects la these births These also should not be perforined as they bring the loflux of Karma One has to balance the effects of Karma by performing some actions like Nilya and Nalmuttika and avoiding Kamya and Nisiddha actions The prarabdha karma is exhausted by it being experienced in this life Whon suffering in this world, 10 heaven and hell ace exhausted, the Aiman reaches the state of rolease Thla 18 the karma mukli, and nalskarmya siddhi But the Vedantina do not think that by naiskarmya one succeeds in reaching the goal ag Nalskarmya does not result from abstenance of actions nor does one obtain release by glving up actiong 1 Moreover, sancita Karma cannot be exhausted in this way becauso of tho effects of two contrary sancila Karma like heavenly happiness and anffering in bell, and it is not possible to experience both at the same time Sometimes mori torious actions previously performed by a man walt for fruition until he has escaped from the pain of this wordly lifo Therefore, the Vedanting ady that by the Mimamsx way the release is not possible, Dor is it possible to give up action altogether as no one can even for a singlo moment escape karma (action in the world altogether 61 The only may to escape from the wheel of life is by jhana, knowledge in the sense of the realisation of the identitly of the self and the absolute In this

preclude the possibility of detailed instructions of how to realise this atate of release on the basis of the attainment of jhana Some of the paths to be pergued would be yoga of Patanjali, meditation on the absolute and self, bhakti (devotion) and renuciation of the fruits of efforts The impact of the Karma theory was so profound in [odian thought that detailed and casuistrical attempts were made to calculate the fruits of Karma experienced by individuals in the cycle of births In the Manusmrti we get the description of the fruits of Karma one experiences due to various activities that he performs For example, one who steals gold will be asilicted in the next life with poor nails He who takes alchohol will have black teeth He who kills a Brahmin will suffer from consumption One who is unchaste with the wife of his teacher will have skin disease ca One who steals the property of a good mad or Brahmin descends into the hot holl of pasanakunda for as many years as there are hairs on big body, he is then reborn three times as a tortoise and so on 67 And for good actions he who digs a pond or improves an old one reaches the heaven of the gods He who gives food obtaids good memory and other mental gifts 10 the next life The story of Yebodhara and Amptamati 18 a narrative of the long series of effects of Karma in their chain of existences The Buddha Darrates the SUCCCDsive life story of a man who was greedy and was reborn as an elephant 88 Such statements cannot be laterpreted literally They cao be understood in the sense that a definite deed has a tendency to mature and fructify in a definite Karmic effect This tendency is strongly modified more or less by the effects of other actions The Indian doctrine of Karma is not merely, like the doctrine of retribution in western religions, a theory of rowards and pupishments which we have to expect 10 the future for our deeds in tbla existence, but it will abow the causes why we are in our present life precisely as we are in our present life and why we have the fate that wo are experiencing Schopenhauer said that the moral meaning of metempsychosis in all Indian religions is not merely that in a subsequent rebirths

a fundamental question as to how the soul which is immaterial and simple is affected by the karmic particles which are natcrial in nature Sonic think such a contact between contradictory entities is difficult to accept But Indian philosophers have discussed the problem of relation of the spiritual and the non-spiritual from different points of view The relation of the spirit and the non-spirit 18 responsible for worldly existence Apart from the gross body, there is the subtle body (suksma sarira) which links the spiritual The Nyaya-Vaisesike and the Minis regard the unseen potency (adrsta) as a quality of the soul and is responsible for the formation of gross body with the help of the nijad (manas) According to Saukhya-Yoga linga salira is the subtle body and it is formed due to the perversion or the allliction (klesa) of the principle of buddhi wluch is an evolute of the prahy With the Sanikhya-Yoga purusa is immutable and it undergoes no change and the prakshi and its evolutes are changing The subtle body of the Jajna is a karmic body It has a number of potencies The nature of karmic body is determined by this integrated cxistence of the soul which is at any moment of existence 18 an integration of these potencies Due to its relation with karma the soul gets passions (kasayas) This relation is beginningless And the question w by the pure soul should come to be invested with the impurity of matter is one of fact as ultimate as its own cxistence We find that the soul is not free and perfect which the demands of logic makes us accept as the indubita ble presupposition As the soul is immortal agd timeless, so also is matter "It is aot profitable to question the possibility of a fact It Is there "71 According to the Nyaya-Valgesika the conditions of bondage like papa and punya lohere in the soul as qualities and in the absence of the bondage the soul becomes free The Samkhya-Yoga believes that the world process and thelr conditions belong to praksti The conscious principle, purusa does not belong to it although it is involved in the world process The Vedantio distinguishes the spiritual from the malerial But this distinction is empiri cal and karma belongs to the world of illusion and is not something belong jog to the spirit But the Jalgas do not accept the quality of distinction between Spirit and Matter The Jaina presents the relation of identity and difference between the spiritual soul and matter they become somehow identical in the state of worldly existence The material (murla) can affect 70 71 Parerga II, para 188

state of worldly existence, the soul, 10 common with karmic matter, gets material form (murtatoa) which 18 regarded as only a characteristic of material form 71 Jalpas distinguish between material karma (drapya karma) and psychic aspect (bhada karma) Drapya karma and its psychic aspect are mutuaily related as cause and effect, each of other 73 The Jainas bolleve 10 the concrete identity of the soul and the karmic matter 10 the state of bondage The karmic matter mixes with the soul in much the same way as milk mixes with water or fire with iron In the stage of bondage the soul gets a kind of susceptibility to establish relation with the non-soul and this susceptibility is a state of the soul in conjunction with matter The Influx of karma (abrana) and the bondage (bandha) into the soul are due to the inherent activity (yoga) and passion (kasaya) The intensity (anubhaga) and the duration (sthiti) of the bondage of the soul with karmic matter depends on the passion. In the case of abubha karma the stronger the passion the longer and the more intense are the duration and the fruition of karma, But the intensity of fruition of fubho karma Varles inversely as the strength of the passion 74 The Jaidas have given a fabulous mathematical calculation of the duration and the intensity of karma ranging from thirty sagaropama kotikof years of the maximum for antaraya karma, seventy for deluding (mohantya) karma and thirty for ayu and nama karma The minimum duratlon is 48 minutes Tho intensity of karma depends on the depth of the pleasurable and painful experience In the case of abubha karma the depth of suffering varies directly with the intensity of the function of karma and the gradation of intensity is of four degrees , (1) eka sthanika, (2) dvi sthanika, (3) tristhanika and (4) catuhsthanika The first intensity group consists of those intensity classes Tasa spardhaka) whose groups have atoms of less intensity than in those of the second group Similarly less intensity wlill get the second as compared to the third group and so on 75 The stronger of the passione (anantanubandht) leads to bondage of the fourth degree group The second type of passions (a pratyakhyanaparana) belongs to the socond intensity Pratyakhyanaparana has the third Intensity and sathyoalana belongs to the first group of only seventeen types of abubha karma as (1) 5 anlaraya karma, (2) first four jnangvaraniya karma, (3) first three darbandvarasiya karma, (4) karma that arouges urge for male sexes, (5) and four types of karma giving 72 Dharma Sangraha Gatha, 626 73. Asfasahasrs, p 51 74 Karma Grantha 2 75, Ibid. Page #64 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ TG Kalghatgi rise to fourth type of samyvalana kasaya 78 In the case of Subha karma the bondage is reverse The anantanubandhi kasaya leads to the second degree of bondage of tubha karma, as there is no bondage of the first 77 The Jainas have worked out the analysis of the bondage of intensity (anubhaga-bandha) of kirma 62 The influx of karmic matter into the soul is incessant due to the activities (soga) of the soul The bondage of the soul with reference to the volume of karmic matter and the space of the soul occupied by it is called pradesa bandha The volume of karmic matter entering the soul varies directly as the measure of the activity of the soul The function of yoga is twofold, (1) pradesa bandha and (2) prakri bandha, which determine the nature ind type of bondage like jnandoaraniya etc But the nature of the activity is determined by the types and Intensity of kasaya However, although muthyata (perversity), avirati (non-renunciation) and kasaya (passion) are absent, thega alone produces pradeta (space) occupied by the karma particlea around the soul Prakrt bandha of the vedaniya in some spiritual stage gives subsidence (upasama) of karma 76-77 lbid Page #65 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ hAthala

We have so far given a brief analysis of the functions of yoga and kasaya in determining the intensity and the type of karmic bondage of the gou! It is not relevant for us to go into details about the problem The karmic matter undergoes different processes due to its quantitative aspect The Karma atoms may be found together divided into categories called harma-varganas The Karma atoms bound together arc skandhas (aggregates) Jiva assimilates Karmic matter within its own pradesas as fire seeks inflamable material which is lying within its reach Every part of the soul is filled with Karma particles, which, if necessary conditions are fulfilled, adhere to the Jiva as dust to the body besmeared with oil The Jiva seizes a Karma particle with all its part, because an exceedingly close connection exists between all the pardesas of a Jwa, as with links of a chain The karmic particles absorbed by the Jiva develop into erght species of Karma, as food consumed at a mcal changes itself into blood and other ingredients of the body The Karmagrantha gives the detailed analysis of the assimilation of Karma particles into the fiva do respect of the pradesa, sthiti, etc Karme pursues its course inexorably The work is rewarded whether it is good or bad There is no aunhilation of Karma1 Man becomes pure or Impure by his own acts 9 Yet there is the possibility of removing the effects of karma It can increase or decrease in intensity or can be prematurely realised As a damp cloth when it is spread out dries quickly than when it is rolled, the effect of Karma can be increased or decreased : The man who is initiated can cause bis Karma rapidly used up Effects of Karma can be neutralised by guch methods as meditation, penance and confession It is also suggested that Karms of one can be transferred to others, when a man 'shakes off' Karma, he can let his friends have the good Karma and his enemies bad Karma Accordiog to Manu there accrues to the king a 6th of the transcendent merit of bis aubjects when he protects them properly He gets a 6th of their transcendent guilt when he reigns very badly.

Yesovijaya compares these processes with some concepts of Karma in the Patanjali Yoga The five afflictions of nescience, cgohood, attachment, repulsion and the will to live are the particular states of rises (udaya) of mohoniya Karma Prasupra state of Karma can be compared to abudha kala and tanu stale is compared to the state of subsidence of Karma Yoga recognised a state of Karma in which some traces may perish before fruition or they may merge into a more powerful Karma They may remain ineffective forever being overpowered by the more powerful Karma This may be compared to the Jaipa view of Samkramana The Jainas have worked out an elaborate and scientific analysis In fabulous mathematical details of the processes of the operation and fruitition of Karam Having given these astounding elaborations, the Jaina seers have said "alam bistarena' To seck frecdom from the miseries of this life, to seek deliverance we have to free ourselves from the Karma that has already been accumulated and to sco that no new Karma is added the soul gets bound by the constant flow of Karma This is called Bandha Mental states, like passion, attachment and aversion, which prepare the ground for the binding of the soul by Kaima are called Psychic bondage (bhavabandhana), and the actual binding by the particles of Karma is called drauya-bandha When passions overcome us, the particles get glued to our souls and biod them just as a 7 8 Karma Prahytt Bandhania Karana Tatia Studies in Javia Philosophy P 260 Page #110 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ TG Kalghargi heated iron ball when immersed in water, absorbs water But the first steps to the realization of the self 18 to see that all channels through which Karma has been flowing have been stopped so that no additional Karma cau accumulate This is samuara There are two kinds of samvara Bhava. sumoara which is concerned with mental life, and dravya-samvara which refers to the stopping of indow of Karmic particles This is possible by self-control and freedom froni attachment The practice of vows (ui ala), carefulness (samuti), self-control (gupti), observance of ten kinds of dharna, reflection (aruprehsa) and victory over the various obstacles like bunger and thirst and passion, will stop the indow of Karma and protect us from the impurities of fresh Karma Here, riglit conduct (caritra) 18 of help The next important task is to remove the Karma that has already accumulated The destruction of Karma is called nuljara Nirjara is of two types bhava-stirjara and diavya-nirjara The Karma may exboust itself in its natural course when the fruits of Karma are completely exbausted This is called savi paha or akana m ard, where no efforts would be required on one's part The remaining Karma has to be removed by means of penance This is a paka-ninjara The soul is like a mirror whicb looks dim when the dust of Karna is deposited on its surface When the Karma is removed by Nirard, the soul sbines 10 its pure and trauscendent form It tben attaing the goal of Mohsa The Ghani Karma is first removed Sull, the Aghani Karma like @yu, nava, gotra and vedantya have to disappear Last of all is the final ayogt state of Kerala The influx of Karma affects the soul and brings bondage The soul's activity (yoga) is due to its inherent energy (virya) The Infinito energy of the soul geta noperfect expression by wbich Karma accumulates and affects the soul, and this imperfect expression of energy 18 responsible for the various processes of the karmic matter Karmic matter undergoes various processes due to the different types of Activity The Pancasangraha describes eight processes of expression of energy of Karnia in its limited form These processes lead to corresponding karmic processes The soul activates karmic matter at every moment of its worldly existence and assimilates it with different types of Karma which express themselves in doe course and bring the disabilities and deflement of the soul The influx of Karna (Asraia) into the soul and the consequent bondage involve certain process like (1) transformation (sarkramana) of one type of Karma into that of another, (11) endurance of Karma for a certain time (satta), (1) endurance without producing the effect (abadha) and (iv) coming into effect (udaya) Transformation is a proceas by which the soul transforms the nature, duration, inteosity and extensity of Karma into those of another 9 karma Prahli Bandhanaharang Page #111 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Karma--Its Operation and an Appraisal This transformation is generally restricted to the change of one sub-type of Karma to another sub-type of the same klod as we mentioned earlier For jastance, in the Vedantya karna, soul can transform the Karnia producing pain (asata vedantya) into that producing pleasure (salavcdaniya) In the Jhanavaraniya Karma it can transforin caksu-darsaua into acak su-darsana A person having right intuition (saniyag darsana) can either transform the Karma leading to perversity (mithyalva) to that leading to partially right and wrong 10tuition (samyagmuthyatva) 10 But we are told any Karma cannot be trans formed into any other One cannot transform Karina obscuriog intuitive experience (darsang moha) with the Karma obstructing conduct (caritra-moha) into that of any Karma (determiding life duration) The explanation is screntifically plausible and logically acceptable We find that electrical coergy can be transforored joto heat or light energy Transforination of one Karma into another requires energy and thus euergy is determined by the degree of the purity of the soul A person having perversity of attitude (mythyalva) cannot convert, cannot change the mithyattakarma into the mixed or samyaktoa, because the person with wrong belief 19 not purc and oot capable of such transformation Transformation of Karma may also effect increase (udvartana), decrease (apayarlana), duration (sthite) and intensity of the function (anubhaga) of Karma 11 The Jalnas have worked out a scientific and detailed analysis of these processes with a vlew to explaining the process of the operation of Karma Karma may be made to express its etfect prematurely By this process the aouls attract back the karmic particles which are to fructify later Karm is made to realize its effect prematurely Through gradual destruction of Karma, the soul reaches the state of perfection wherein all the Karmas are removed the soul gets perfect expression It is possible that one who is free from energy-obstructing Karma may still coutinue to act In this world The enlighted one is perfect He may continue to work for the welfare of all creatures But his is a purely detached activity and therefore free from any contamination leading to the colouration of the soul (lebya) Il The influx of Karma affects the soul lo various forms and produces certain types aura' or colouration about it This colouration is the Letya But this colouration does not affect the soul 10 its pure nature The colour of the reflection does not belong to the soul When the soul becomes free from karmic matter and reaches tho Siddhahood, it becomes free from this foreign element of colouration

is due to the operation of iho Karma in watters affectiug the nature of the organisin It may probably refer to the colour of the body we are told that the denizens of hell arc black in colour Celestial beings get different colours on the basis of the impact of different Karma So is tlic care with human beings This distinction may be referred to the racial colours and the inaumerable distinctions in the individual shades of colour Bhiva lisya refurs to the psychic conditions affecting the individual in creating au dura round the organism The psychic conditions create relleses, and clicy, in turn, may give rise, tlirough some form of rudiation, to some kinds of colouration round the organis1 This may not be ordiuarly visible to the cye, but only to persons disciplmed in Yoga12 Further distictions are made in lesya Six types of primary colours are suggested Tlire of them refer to evil minded persons The six lesyas are - (1) black (Krsua) (2) blue, (nila), (3) dove-grey (Kapota), (4) yellow (pula), (5) pink (Padma) (6) white (Suhla) For instance a man who is wicked and cruel gets the black lesya A man who is affected by anger and envy and who loves pleasure gets the blue lesya One who is disciplined develops the red lesya One who has subducd the passions has yellow One who is engrossed in meditation of the dharma' and truth has the white lasya But the fully liberuted souls have no lesya at allia The ethical significance of this doctrine has been emphasized in this distinction The lesyas are treated as an index of temperament of character Lesyas have a moral bearing14 The Jainas give the cxample of six travellers in the forest They see a tree full of fruits They want the fruits of that tree But their ways of securing them widely differ The man with a black losya intends to uproot the tree, that with a blue, to cut the trunk, that with a grey, to cut the branches, that with a yellow, to take the twigs only, the man with the pink lesya intends to pluck the fruits, while the one who has a pure white lesya is content to take whatever fruits have fallen on the ground 26 There are degree of expression of lasya in terms of time and intenarty We are told in the case of black lesya the duration varies from half a mahurla to thirty-three sagaropama The effect of the blue lesya varies from belf a muhurta to ten saguropama plus one palyo para and part of asarhkhyeye Sa is the variation in the duration of other lesyas 12 Gomma, asara Jula Kanda XV also Ultar adh, ayana Sutra XXXIV 13 Uttaradhya) ana Sutra Iect LXXIV SBE VOL.

Similar classification was adopted in the Yoga school We have referred to it earlier But these systems do not accept the material nature of Karma Therefore, Dasgupta suggests that the idea of the black and wbite Karma in the Yoga philosophy was probably suggested by the Jaipa view 18 It is possible to interpret the lesja theory in terms of modern psychology, especially of parapsychology The Bhava lesya has a psychological significance It is an aura created round the soul due to psychic effects and yoga It is dependent on the activity of the mind Thc six primary colours are effect of the karmic 10flux arising out of mental states and events Every psychosis brings some after-effects which are both physical and psychic It is possible to show, by proper analysis and investigation, that such psychic phenomena exist and are detectable The effects of psychic states are transformed, through some form of radiation into the aura' of colour spreadiog round the organism, like the balo surrounding a prophet We have heard that the gods and the prophets, like Jesus and the Buddha, had a halo round them The Jainas have said that the enlightened ones still living in this world get a white halo around them Such aura, or colouration may not be visible to the eye, nor discernible by the ordinary instruments of science But men disciplined in the yoga and those who have developed an extra-sensory capacity can ace it We may perhaps find some methods pertinent to parapsychology by which we may discover the possibility and existence of such phenomena, It would, therefore, be a problem for the parapsychologists' research We may also point out that some have suggested a resemblance between losya doctrine and the theosophical view of the transcendental colours in the individual 10 We may refer to the theosophical writings of Mrs Besant, 20 16 17 18 19 20 Pravacanasala I 55-66 II 40 Digha Nikaya III 20 Dasgupta History of Indian Philosophy, Vol I 74 Jaini (JL) Outlines of Jaluism P 45 Thought fornis by Mrs Bensant & CW Leadbeater 1906 Page #114 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ I G. Kalghatgi The Jainas say that the soul is immaterial, consciousness and its states are also immaterial and colourless Colour is in matter, and matter certainly acts and reacts on the soul by the loflow and bondage (bandha) of the harmic matter due to passions and modification in the mental states III The soul has the inherent capacity for self-realisation But self-realisa llon is a long process in the course of its eternal wanderings 10 various froma of evstence, the soul at some time gets an indistinct Vision and feels an impulse to realise il The soul has to go through the various stages of spiritual development These stages are called gunasthana, and they are linked up with stages of subsidence and destruction of the karmic veil These are fourteco stages of spiritual development The first stage is chara cterised by the presence of nuthyadisti (perversity of attitude) We accept wrong belief and are under the false impression that what we believe is right This is caused by the operation of muhyalua-karnan However, we are not entiri, berest of a vision, though indistinct, of the right Still, due to pervecsits of attitude we do not relish the truth, just as a man suffering from fevus has no taste for sugarcane 21 The next stage is called sasvadanasamyagdrsk It is a baltiog and transitory stage in which one may get the vision of truth but is likely to fall back on falsehood due to the excitement of passions In the third stage, of samyagmichvardust we have a mixed attitude of right and wrong belief There is neither a desire to have true belief nor a desire to remain in ignorance It is like miring curds and treacle 21 Next comes the stage of right attitude, samyagdroft One gets a glimpse of the truth Yet one has not the spiritual strength to strive for the attajament of it In this stage we have attained knowledge, but we lack moral cffort, as we have not yet developed self-control From the next stage onwards there is gradual expression of self-control We may compare these four stages to the state of the persons 10 Plato's parable of the cave The prisoners in the cave would sce their own shadows and the shadows of other men and of animals And they would mistake the shadow for realities This is the stage of the atva If one were to be released, the glare of the light would distress him, and he would persist 10 maiotaining the superior truth of the shadows This is the stage of suspadang But once he gets accustomed to the change, he will be able to see things, and gaze upon the light of the moon and the stars and the spangled heavens And once he gets the clear vision, he will realize the folly of his fellow prisoners and pity them.99 21 Gominalasara-Ipakanda, 17 22 lbid p 22 23 llato The Pepublic VIII, Page #115 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Karma - Its Operation and an Appraisal Defaviralaramyagdrsfi is the next bigber stage of spiritual development, in which we get partial efforts for self-control in addition to the possession of the knowledge of truth There is a partial destruction of karmic natter which produces passions 24 Full practice of virtues would not be possible because there is the possibllity of the influence of passions In the next stage, the moral effort takes & inore definite shape, although it is not always successful A person has a more or less steady glimpse of the truth, and he tries to develop self-control But even here, the moral life and the spiritual struggle are not fully successful, owing to moral and spiritual inertia This inertia is called promada And pramada 19 overcome in the seventh stage of a pramatta-samyala Efforts to reach moral excellence take definite shape the operation of Karma preventing perfect conduct is very feeble, and minor passions are also subdued The process of adhahpravrtti-karnia, by which the soul on a lower level can rise higher, operates in this stage 15 The eighth stage is called apirvakarana It leads to greater and more definite self-control the self attaios special purification and 18 capable of reducing the intengity and duration of Karma The Gommatasara gives a detailed description of the process of apurvakarona operating in this stage One is affected only by the mild affective states It 19 possible to develop a stoic attitude In the stage of development called antorttu-badara-samparaya, it is possible to overcome even the milder emotional disturbance with grea ter confidence and ease some times slight emotional afflictions are, here, possible In the tenth stage of Saksinasamparaya, only greed disturbs us, and that too slightly Except for this disturbance, one is passionless and calm This subtle greed can be interpreted as the subconscious attachment to the body even in souls which have a hieved great spiritual advancement 10 But one is free from even the slightest passions in the eleventh Gunasthana, of upasantainoha, still the affections are not altogether eliminated They are only suppressed through the pressure of moral effort We are mostly free from the baneful influence of the Karma, except the deluding Karma (mohantyaKarma) This state is called chadmastha It is also callcd vtardga, as one is able to remin calm and undisturbed through the suppression of Karma In the next stage, of ksina-moha there is annihilation of Ghaul Karma and not mere suppression And when all the passions and the four types of ghata karma are destroyed one reaches the thirteenth stage of spiritual development, called sayoga-Kevali One is free from the bondage of ghati Karma, yet is not free from activity and bodily existence as the Aghani Karma, ayukarma eta 24 26 26 Gommajasara-Jivakanda, 90 and commentary Ibid

this stage, we find omniscient beings like Tirthankaras, Ganadharas and the Samanya kedalins They attain enlightenment, but still live in this world preaching the truth that they have seen This stage can be compared to the stage of Iwanmukla The Vedantasara describe this stage as that of the enlightened and liberated men who are yet alive Though they may appear to be active in this world, they are Inactive, like the man who assists a magician 10 a magic show yet they kaow that all that is shown is illusory 27 Zimmer compares the attitude of the Kevalins in this stage of the function of a lamp lighting the phenomenal expersonality solely for the malotenance of the body, not for the pursuit of any gratification of sense of any goal 28 The final stage of self-realization is the stage of absolute perfection All empirical adjuncts, like the bodily functions, are removed The soul enters the third stage of Sukladhyana This state lasts only for the period of time required to pronounce five short syllables 29 At the end of this period the soul attalas perfect and disembodied liberation It is described as the state of Parabrahrria or Nlanjang It is not possible to give, as Radhakrish dan says, a positive description of the liberated soul 30 It is a state of free dom from action and desire, a state of utter and absolute quiesence Zimmer shows that, in this state, the ladividuality, the marks, the formal personal features are distilled away like drops of rain that descend from the clear sky, tasteless and emasculate 31 IV Karma theory has been found by some to be an adequate explanation for the prevalent inequalities in life It ja suggeated that the theory suffers from serious defects (1) Karma leads to the dainping of the spirit and men suffer the ills of life with helpless equanlmity of attitude slinply because they get the awareness that it is beyond their power to change the course of their life as it is determined by Karma Karma leads to fatalism It does not give any incen tive to social service The general apathy of an Indian towards the natural, social and political evils is mentioned as an example of the impact of Karma on our life The famous temple of Somanatha was destroyed, and there was no visible resistance because the common man in India was overpowered by the belief that everything that happens 18 the result of Karma But this is more an over-statement of a fact, if not a mis-statement 27 28 29 80 3) Feueintasara, 219 Zimmer (H) Philosophies of India (Ed Campbell), p 446 Dhyanasasaka, 82 Radhakrishnan (S) Indiun Philosophy VoL I p 233

that the Karma theory does not give any incentive to social service The Upamsids en jon social service and sacrifice, although on the highest level one has to transcend social inorality The five vows to be observed by an ascetic and the layman (sravaka) imply the recognition of digaity and equality of life Schweitzer maintains that the attitude in the ancient Indian thought was that of world and life-Degation Still the problem of deliverance in the Jaina and the Buddbist thought is not raised beyond ethics In fact, it was the supreme ethic The deliverance from reincarnation is possible through the purity of conduct, and the soul cleanses itself from the besmirching it has suffered and altogether frees itself from it What is new then, 10 Jainiso is the importance attained by ethics 3. An event full of sigaificance for the thought of ludia 38 And Karma is not a mechanical principle, but a spiritual necessity It is the counterpart in the moral world of the physical law of uniformity 31 Uofortunately the theory of Karma became confused with fatality 10 lodia when man bimsell grew feeble and was disinclined to do his work 85 Still the imporlance of Karma as aftereffects of our action and deteranging the course of use cannot be easily underestimated Karma has to be looked at as a principle involving expla nation of aclion and reaction Fatalistic theory of life was presented by Makkhali Gosali, a contemporary of Mabavica He considered himself a rival of Mahavira He said that lieppiness and misery Are measured to one as it were in busbels The duration of life and the transmigration of souls have their fixed forms No human effort can change them Mahavira and the Buddha opposed Gosala most vigorously 2 The theory of Karma explaining the inequality of human life and bebaysour as fruits of Karma bas been interpreted as determinism and fatalistism It is, therefore, necessary to study tbe problem of determinism and humaa freedom and to justify the ways of God to man and of man to man Determinism is a general philosophical theory which asserts that all events are caused Everything that happens is determined by preceding conditions (1) The development of physical sciences in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries inspired the philosophers to deterministic theories All events are determined by preceding conditions Neither moral consideration nor the will of

sex drive They trace the origin in the dungheap of the Unconscious And consequently man is not free and is not morally responsible The issue of Freedom is not philosoplucal but an empirical fact This is hard determinism (111) The Socratic dictum that virtue is knowledge and vice is ignorance has been the foundation of moral deteriniaism Secking the good is determined by the knowledge of the good If one knows the good one seeks it If one seeks something else it can be because he is pursuing the apparent, and he does not really know what is good Plato thought similar reasonings apply to any choice whatever This ethical intellectualism so central to Platonism is deterministic by implication 12 The determinists have constantly felt uncomfortable in the face of the problem of reconciling the determinism and moral freedom The consistent determinists do not shrink from such words as fatality, bondage of the will, necessity and the like William James called them 'hard determinists' Robert Owen, Schopenhauer and Freud were hard determini to But some determinists do not find any contradiction between determinisin and human freedom Neo-Hegelians, Hobbes, Hume and Mill hold this view Freedom consists in the choice of actions which are free from constraint Such actious are not uncaused, as every action is not uncaused But the difference lies in the kind of causes that are present On such occasions human beings act in a certain way because of their own unimpeded efforts, because they have chosen to act in these ways Thus, Determinism is compatible with Freedom la this sense, and hence, compatible with moral responsibility The problem of Determinism and Freewill has been shelved in the museum of Philosophy in recent times by the linguistic approach to the problems of analysis of peripheral issues Wittgensteia's criticism that Philosophers do not know what it means to call something action has created problems in this field Philosophers have been unable to analyse the distinction that some bodily actions are considered actions and others are not Aa long as ignorance prevails, it is contended, that there is little point in discussion whether men's actions are free Gilbert Ryle, in his The Concept of Mird has inaintained that volitions are fabrications of philosophy, corres ponding to nothing that has existed The concepts of desire, motive and choice have been similarly subjected to criticism This is the philosophical sea-saw of Determinism and Freedom Karma works as the inexorable law of causation, In its essentially mechanical way The theory in its entirety cannot escape the charge of determinism In this there is no human freedom, nor is the choice possible for man And men are to gods, like flies to wanton boys.

Pringle-Pattison shows that the whole emphasis of the Karma theory is on retributiou There is nothing redemptive in its operation, and the process becomes an endless onc, leading to do goal of

'self-merited happiness 'sa Explantion for the inequality is referred to the 'vicarious suffering' The ethical justice is to be found in the crucification of Christ, and the Cross is a symbol of taking over the sufferings of men upon oneself so as to lighten the sufferings of men But according to the Jainas, as also in other Indian thought, except in the Carvaka, self-realisation is to be attained through a moral effect which is essentially social in its content We have seen that the Indian ethics is essentially social in its significance Moksa is to be attained through the practice of goodness, charity, compassion and humility, although the Mokga is attained by one who practises the virtues and three-fold noble path It is therefore, more accurate to say that Karma theory awakens a man to his responsibilities to himself and to others, and does not make him Isolated and self-centred We may also add that Karma does not imply a hedonistic outlook in life Reward for pleasure is not a life of pleasure nor is the punishment for ain, pain The theory is not to be confused with hedonistic or a judicial theory of rewards and punishments Pleasure and pain are determinants Idealist View

nakes some people suffer and some enjoy pleasures in this life Sarihara in his conintentary to Brahmasutra replies that God cannot be con dered as partial and cruel because he acts with reference to Karma of csery individuals If he were to act without taking into consideration the Karma, he would be thought of as being partial and cruel But God should belled upon as the rain The rain is the common cause for the growth of use and wheat etc Similarly, regarding the inequalities among men in their status and enjoyment, the specific Karma of each individual is the cause We get a similar argument 10 the Brhadaranyaka Upanisad (32 13) which states that a man becomes meritorious by his good actions and sinful by bis bad actions (b) It is objected that pro to creation there was no Karma, so how can it lead to differentiation ? But it has been stated that the sarhsara 19 anadi (beginningless) Like the seed and the sprout the cycle of life and aliran goes on Just as in the case of a seed with its potentialities for becoming a tree, there is the need of rain, so also has God to depend on the Karnia for determining the status of an individual in this life Ramanuja shows that the inequality of creation depends on the Karma of a particular individual He quotes references from Brhadaranyoka Upanqsad mentioned above and Visnu Purana (c) It has also been objected that prior to the creation there were no being, at all so there can be ao Karma, then how can we account for the inequality ? But it is stated that the individual souls and their deeds form the eternal st.cam Prior to the creation souls abide in subtle condition. Nimburka adds that Karma done by the being in the earlier creation have, again, their antecedents Similarly, Vallabhacarya follows the same line of argument All the Jlsas merge into the Brabman along with their Karma in minute form and when creation starts they are born with their Karma Our happiness and suffering in this life are determined by our actions in the earlier life and those of that

the field of ladian shtli puhv et the guna tla, wamottar kaln (post-agimic age) and darsa in da (ace of Indian nietaphysics) In this speculation the Simkhyn-Yoga, 163 Buddhista, the Nyiya-Vilsusibi

based on ksandkai ada (Doctrine of momentariness) as sound is conceived by them as momentary The Nyaya-Valsesika has propounded the theory of sound on the basis of dravyalva (substantiality) od unit a (attributiveness), hence its theory of sound stands on Drapyavada (Panciple of Substance) and gunawada (Principle of attribute or quality) The Bhalla school of the Mim imsakas has admitted the theory of sound on the basis of substantiality Jaina pbilosophy has conceived it on the principle of substantiality and modality, as three potent factors or laws, VIY origination (utrada) destruction (oyaya) and permanence (dhrauvya), operate in the material world by bringing about transformation in it through the forces of external and internal causes Page #131 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Jaina Theory of Sound (Sabda) 25 Thus the Jaina theory of sound makes a synthetlc view of the theories of sound of all other Indian systems of thought from the aspects of substantiality and modality Jalna Theory of Sound According to Jaina metaphysics, sound is conceived as the inanifesta tion of Matter This view is identical with that of the physical sciences on the theory of sound, as it is conceived by them as energy of Matter, le manifestation of it It"usually originates in vibrating bodies through the surrounding elastic medium, usually air, as wave motion of the longitudinal type When the compressional sound waves are passing through air, the amplitude of the vibratory motion of the layers or particles is surprisingly small, being only about 10-8 cm for a sound that is barely audiblc '10 Kinds of sound According to Jaina philosophy, there are stated to be mainly two kinds of sound, viz bhasatmaka (sound incorporated in speech or language) and abhasatmaka (sound which does not find place 10 speech or language) 20 The former is sub-divided into two groups, Viz aksaratmaka (articulate utterence or speech and an anaksardimaka (sound made by creatures or by the Kevalins), while the latter is also of two groups, viz prayogha (sound produced by human beings through the play of musical instruments ie musical sound) and valsrasika (natural sounds, such as the roaring of thunder, the rippling of water, noises in general, etc ) 22 Prayogha sabda (artificial or produced sound) is further sub divided into four kinds, viz tata (musical aound of tabia or drum, 10 a stretched membrane), vitata (musical aound produced by stringed instruments), ghana (musical sound produced by solid 10struments, such as, bell) and susira (sound prodaced by wind instruments, organ pipes or conch) 25 Modern acoustics divides sound into two classes, viz musical sounds and noises Prayogika sabdas (artificial or produced sounds) of Jauna metaphysics, viz tata, vitata, ghana and susira, correspond to musical sounds of modern physics, while oausrasika sabdas (natural sounds), such as, roaring of thunder, etc include noises-sounds of modern acoustics Bhasatmaka labda (sound incorporated in language or spoecb) forms a distinct class of sound by itself, but it may be placed under the category of nolses of modern acoustics The sub-divisions of musical sound into the vibrations of membra nes, atrings, rods and plates and alr columns of the physical sciences correspond respectively to the following kinds of sound of Jaine metaphysics, viz, tala, vitata, ghana and supera Page #132 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

language) and mysabhasa (u tong or false splech or language) They are again further divided and sub-divided into inany kinds, such as, Janapada-satyabhasa, Samyag-satya, stharana-satya, namasatya, rupasatza, etc In reality, there are two kinds of Bhaja, viz. dravjabhasa (physical speech) and bhavabhasa (psychical speech or language)" Dravyabhasa is sub-divided into the following groups, viz grahanam (Speech received by the self through transformation), mhsarana (that which is emitted by the function or action of lungs, pharynx, throat, etc) and paragharabhasa (speech sent out through the act of transformation by those emitted physical vocal substances) The beings receive bhasadranya (speech-substance) from six directions 20 Nihsaranad ravyabhasa is identical with the voice or speech of the medical Scicace, emitted by the beings In the medical science speech is regarded As material It comes out of the larynx or the organ of voice which is triangular box of cartilage and muscles situated below the pharynx and the root of the tongue It presents a considerable projection at the upper and front parts of the neck externally At the upper part of the larynx there is a lid of cartilage called the epiglottis 97 The voice is generated by forcing au from the lungs through the space between two stretched vocal chords which are stressed across the trachea with a narrow vocal slit between them, the edges of the slit acting as reeds "The two vocal chords (membraDes) aro attached to muscles by which their tension and vibration frequently can be altered" The edges of the membranes are set into vibrations like reeds by the air from the lungs and thus sound is produced, the pitch of which can be altered by altering the tension of the vocal chords, and the quality of which depends upon the air-cavities of the noso, throat and mouth which act as resonators, the shape and the size of which the speaker can vary at will 20 It u similarly explained in the Jaina Agama that speech which is breaking forth, while speaking, is speech, but not that which was spoken before nor that which dies out after the crossing of the speaking time to Intensity of Emitted Speech Bhaca (sound incorporated in specah or language) breaks forth with gentle efforts, 1 c with low intensity, some speeches are emitted with Page #133 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Jaina Theory of Sound (Sabda) intense efforts and some are unbroken, 1 e continuous The broken (emitted) speeches go to the last border of the universe, getting increased and increased infinitefold That 18 to say, some healthy speaker emits bharadravyas (speech-substances) with intense effort out of liking and they are broken forth into parts by the efforts of receiving and throwing out matters, while some sick person emits gross particles of unbroken (continuous) speechsubstances with gentle effort out of disliking These particles of unbroken speech-substance, getting increased infinitefold on account of their fineness and manifoldness and association with other material substances, such as, air etc go to the last borders of the universe in six directions, ie spread to the last borders of the universe1 Io other words, a belog emits speechsubstance which it receives for speaking as broken and unbroken (bhinna and abhinna) 39 Those speech-substances, belog omitted, touch (reach) the last borders of the universe, getting increased and increased infinitefold The unbroken speech-substances, having crossed countless points of immer 9100, broak forth and having gone to countable yojanas die out" in the borizon Paraghata Bhasadravya There takes place the force vosana called paraghala (impact or striking wave) of the prayoga-vasana-yogya-drapyas (Speech-substances produced or pronounced with the efforts of palatals, etc) That paragharabhasa 1s emitted as being generated by the striking of speech-substances against one another (dravyakaramblia) out of the straight line (1 e in a curved line) due to the fineness of emitted speech substances from the going in a straight line anusrent quagahana) Paraghatabhasa becomes also mixed (mitra-nilssta-dravya karambita) 10 a parallel line (samabhasa kadiga peksapradhvara Srent) Su it is stated in the Niryuko that paraghalabhasa goce la a curved line 6 In regard to the propagation of sound the early Nyaya-Vaisesika philosophers maintain that the first sound, generated by the Impact of vibrating molecules of sonorous bodies against contiguous molecules of air to the substrate akaba, 16 generates sound and so on, just as waves produced in water or ocean, until the last sound causes a vibration 10 the ear-drum (karna-taskull) This propagation of sound 18 effected by the air-wave as its carrier Akasa (space) 18 immobile, but the air-wave is not transmitted without the inter-connecting of air-molecules by akata Udyota kara86 holds the view that the first sound produces indefinile number of sounds in all directions, not one sound, in a circle, cach of them geocrates again another one and so on, in such a way that sound expands by successive concentric spherical layers, just as Kadambakoraka (bud of the Nancha Kadamba) expands by successive concentric spherical layers of filaments, shooting forth from one another Of theso two hypotheses the Page #134 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ C Sildar first alr-wave implled in the transmission of sound is of the transverse waves, while the second is of longitudinal waves in the orthodox Miinnosaka view of Sabara Svanin the alr-wavc furming physical sound signilius a series of conjunctions and disjunctions of air-particles with the rarefaction and condensation and suggest longitudinal waves 27 Sound dis out it list with the growing of the momentum of the impact of suries feebler ind feebler in the course of transmission of sound through the 11-particles Another VICX is that the propagation of sound is not ellected from molecule to mlecul, but it Spread, in ever expanding c rcles just as evidenced in water-wavea, perhips in splicrical layers by thu compression of masses of air, the waves of which are very fast 33 There is a striking sinularity between the Jain view and the Nytya-Valsesiha theory on the wave of sound and its propiation Both of the agree on th: point that sound becomes refracted as well a diffracled according to the cause of its generation It increa es inhonefold on account of fineness and manifoldness and associa thon with other substances, like air, etc and expands in all directions and goes to the last borders of the universe The unbroken (continuous souud attains division and dies out at last, after crossing countable distance with the growing of the momentum of the impact of series feebler and feebler But there is the difference between the two views on the fundamental point that sound is accepted as the quality of akata in the Nyaya-Valgesika philosophy, while it is conceived as the manifestation of Matter in Jalna metaphysics The Jama theory of wave of sound and its propagation la well suppo rted by modern physics It is explained that "Sound waves, of course, exhibit the properties of reflection, refractiou and diffraction characteristic of all furns of wave notion Such behaviour of sound waves may be rendered visible by the method of spark photography The waves passing before the photographic plate are illuminated for a brief interval by a timed electric spark The slight screase in density in the condensation in the wave front causts soille refraction of the light and thus produces a shadow in the phutograph 33 "If a train of waves is filling a medium, a surface connecting at a given astant all particles which are in the same pbase of vibration constitutes a wave front In the case of sound waves in air, the vibrating source being quite sinall, such a surface will be spherical, and if the distance from the source is large, a small portion of this spherical wave front may be considered as a plane wave If the medium is homogeneous and isotropic, the direction of propagation is always at right angles to the wave front" "The behaviour of the wave fronts as a uniform medium, bends around obstacles (diffraction), rebounds from a surface (reflection), or changes Page #135 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Jaina Theory of Sound (Sabda) 29 direction when entering a new medium (refraction) may be predicted by using a simple method first proposed by Huygens (1629-169>>), a contemporary of Newton 41 According to his principles, "every point on a wave front may be considered to be a new source of disturbance from wbich spherical wavelets issue"" Here is the point which is explained by Jaina philosophy in this manner that paraghala bhasadravyas (generated sound-particles or waves generated by striking) increases lufinitefold and expand and go 10 a straight line, in & curved line and in a parallel line or in a mixed line to all directions The outlines of the Jajoa sound theory clearly reveal its scientific appro ach to the problem from the points of view of substantiality and modality in the light of the sound theories of other Indian pbilosophles even in the absence of critical verifying data of modern experimental science References (1) "advibexah tadyathi-sabdatanm tram ", Vyasabhasya, Satra 19,

This problem can be examined in two ways, viz (1) by taking tato account the actual proportion of Sanskrit and Prakrit la a particular drama and (11) by scrutinizing the comparative role of a language to the extent It helps on the action in a drama As far as the first problem is concerned done can deny that a particolar literary work is called Sanskrit, Prakrit, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati or Bengali purely on account of its predominant language and the same principle should be applied to our ancient classical works Now if we examine our ancient classical plays from this point of view we come across the following facts (for details see the table given below specially Its Si No 3) 1 Svapnavasavadattam of Bhasa In this play the total speech of all the five Sanskrit speaking charaters comes to 182 grantbagras whereas that of all the eleven Prakrit speaking characters 18 221 grantbagrus, ie the porcentage of Sanskrit and Praknit in this drama is 45 and 55 respectively Page #140 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ K R Chandra 2 Ciradattam of Bhasa In this drama three Sanskrit speaking characters have to their sbare 137 granth'tgras of speech whereas eight characters speaking Prakrit have 294 granthigras of speech to their share, ie in thts drama Sanskrit is 32% and Prakrit 18 687 3 Mrochakatikam of Sudraka It has eight Sanskrit speaking characters with a total speech of 721 grantbagras and twentythree Prakrit speaking characters with a total speech of 1159 granthagras, le ibis drama bas 38% Sanskrit and 62% Prakrit 4 Malavikagnimitram of Kalidasa There are six characters who speak a total of 294 granthagras of Sanskrit and the rest of the 14 characters speak a total of 345 granthagras of Prakrit It reveals that there is in this drama 46% Sansknt and 54% Prakrit 5 Ratnival of Sribarsadeva Five of its Sanskrit speaking characters have a total share of 292 granthgras and its ten Prakrit speaking characters have a total share of 374 grapthagras It is clear that this drama has 44% Sanskrit and 56% Prakrit 6 Priyadarsika of Sribarsadeva This drama bas five Sanskrit speaking characters whose total speech us 251 granthagras and seven Prakrit speaking characters whose total speech is 256 granthagras, 1e 49 5% Sanskrit and 50 5 % Prakrit lo view of this comparative strengtb and quantity of Sanskrit and Prakrit in the above mentioned plays how far it would be correct to continue to call them Sanskrit plays and in the name of which how far it seems to be proper when we see that Prakrit portions of the plays are altogether dropped out from our study and are even replaced by Sapskrit in the revised editions-appearing these days Now let us examine our ancient classical plays from the second point of view as mentioned above Our dramas have dialogues, descriptions (of persons, objects, situations, emotions etc) and expressions of maxims, Proverbs and saying. The fundamental difforence between a work of drama and that of poetry is that the former is made up of action and dialogues whereas the latter has descriptions Action constitutes the pivotal Page #141 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The So Called Sanskrit Plays element of a drama, and it is helped on by dialogues and the dialogues in our ancient plays are composed in prose Therefore, it is important to see how much prose portion is there in our plays and that also in what proportion in Sanskrit and Prakrit When we scrutinize our ancient dramatic literature with this point in view we arrive at the following findings (see Sl Nos 4, 5, 6 and 9 of the table given below) 35 (1) Verse portion in the full-fledged dramas is merely one fourth and the remaining three fourth portion comprises of prose (Sl Nos 4 and 5) (1) Verse portion is mostly in Sanskrit (SI No 4a and 4b) (u) Verse portion appropriated by the hero (King or main characters) alone comes to approximately 60% (SI No 68) (IV) Prakrit portion in prose is nearly 60% and therefore Prakrit occupies a predominant position (Sl No Sa and 5b) (v) On the whole the speech appropriated by all the characters other than the hero has larger portion of Prakrit than that of Sanskrit (SI No 9a and 9b) The above findings reveal that all the dramas of Harsadeva and the major dramas of Bhasa have Prakrit as the predominant language of the dialogues and therefore of the action too Rest of our anclent dramatic literature can also be examined in this light and the findings will not stand otherwise In this connection Prof A B Keith has rightly remarked, "the verses do little to help on the action, as in the epic, they express descriptions of situations and emotions, when movement of the play is requisite resource 18 had to prose, or the verses serve to set out maxims 33 It is therefore, quite clear that movement or action in our plays depends on prose and Prakrit-prose occupies predominant position A work bereft of movement and action can not become a real play Since Prakrit language plays the most important role in our classical dramas it should be given its due place in the study of the dramas in our University curriculum Let us see for ourselves how far it is justifiable to drop out Prakrit portions from our studies and even from the text of the new editions of our classical plays It is obvious that the language of the classical plays 15 Sanskrit and Prakrit The dramas are nelther exclusively in Sanskrit nor exclusively in Prakrit Therefore, we would be equally justified in designating them as 'Sanskrit dramas' or as Prakrit dramas' and as such 1 The Sanskrit Drama, p 76 (1964) 2 Except Saffakas Page #142 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ % K R.

Personal Decorations Among the desigos utilized for personal decoratlon, Dhaoapala has mentioned Patrangull, Tilaka, Vitesaka and Pattraccheda Of these, Patr angult seems to bave consisted of various types of curved lines, or dots arranged in curved lines, forming leaf-motifs drawn on the surface of the breasts and the cheeks of women with a paste of fragrant substances such as Sandal, Saffron, Camphor, Musk, and etcetara 1 Pandit Radhakentadeva is not sure when he gives two alternative explanations However, Dhana 1 Cr TM (N), p 18 (23), 247 (11) All references to the page and line numbers glven here are with reference to the Tilahamanjars, 2nd Edn, published by Nirnaya Sagar Press, Bombay, 1933, 1be readings however an accordmg to the Cntical 1 ext determined by me on the basis of a number of original Mas 2 Sabdakalpdrum, Vol III, p 29, Col! patrAguli -patram azguliriSa yatra / yadvA bhagulibhilikhita racita patra patrAkRtiratra / patramA / stamakapolAdau kastUrikAdiracitapatrAvalI ityamara // 2 / 2 / 122 // Page #150 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ N M Kansara pali's description is confirmed by Pandit Vislinudatta, the author of the Namacandrika commentary on the Amarah ora, who explains this word as denoting a type of Tilaka drawn with saffron, black Aguru, and other fragrant substances on the breasts, cheek, and etc. Tilaka and Visesaka seem to decote the auspicious tiny round or vertical mark put on the forehead between the eyebrows. This also is supported by Pandit Visbno datta - About Paltraccheda Dhanapala has not given a definite idea, except that it was of many kinds like Dravida and others, and that it was one of the fine arts which could entertain refined persons. Bhagavatsimbul has noticed this term as the name of one of the sixty-four arts to be learnt for the perfect fulfilment of the Kama Pue usartha? But Vatsyayana, the author of the Kamasutra, lists, not 'Pattraccheda', but 'Pattracchedya' or Visesakacchedya', which, according to Yasodhara the author of Jayamangala commentary on it, is a sort of a Tilaka consisting of trimming leaves of troes like birch, etc, 10 different shapes and figures to be applied to the forehead. Srinivasacarya, the coinmentator of Sudraka's Mrcchakatika explains the term Pattracchedya as referring to a type of picture in which artistically cut tiny pieces of fine leaf-thin sheets of wood or metal were utilized for cohancing the effect of variety * This art seems to be very old one as it is mentioned in the various texts of the Jain Canon, such as the Samaviyaaga sutta and Ayaranga sulla 10 Sridhara, the commentator of Srimad !

to differenciate Pattracchedya from Visesakacchedya which he explains as the art of tattooing or makrog of spots, lines or figures on the person by puncturing and staining " The term 'Pattraccheda' might be aynonymous with 'Pattrabhanga', whicb, accordiog to Shri Atrldeva Vidyelankara, 11 refers to a practice in which leaves of some trees were cut in Artistic desigos and were fixed on to the forebead to serve as a Tilaka mark Elephants for royal procession were also decorated by painting their bodies Thus, prince Samaraketu's rojal clephant named Amaravallabha was besmeared all over the body with a paste of white powder, 18 and its broad temples and head were paiated red with vermilion 14 Similarly, the principal royal war elephant (pradhana jaya harin) of the Vidyadbara emperor

proper evidence, a reference to the 'Rasa citra' corresponding to the Ishaik holan of South India drawn with a white paste solution 12 We are not sure whether the figure of Sasthidevi and the Jata-matrpatala, 28 mentioned by Dhanapala in connection with the description of the lying in climber of queco Madirgyti, were of the nature of a Rangavali drawn on the ground, but it is certainly understandable that the niystic line drawn with chacinid ashes for the protection of the bed of the new-born child and the nother was a sort of simple drawing consisting of scattering the Ashes 10 a continuous circular lide arouad the bed 24 Threshold was the principal place for the Rangavali both 10 the case of domestic houses and the temples There is a reference to drawing auch Sias ha designs

However, Shri C Sivarannamuct is rather mistaken in understanding the term 'Balilarma' in the sense of beautifying the floor of the temple or place of worship it rather indicates that along with the other offerings like riceheap, a pitcher full of cane-sugar juice, and etc, such desigas on the threshold were thuruselves considered to be sacred offering, and also a fit place for other offerings That is why while invoking the help of some unknown spiritual entity for carrying the message back to Harivahaga, prince Kamala gupta had the threshold specially purified by besmearing it with

The first tirthankara Rsabha had to go through ten lives to become a tirthankara after the enligh tenment Vardhamana Mahavira, the twenty-fourth firthankara went through thirty-six lives after getting a glimpse of truth, to attain the state of firthankara, At the time of Raabha, Mahavira was Maric who was preaching KapllaSiddhanta Rabha had predicted that Marica would be the twenty-fourth Arthankara These principles of Karma and rebirth are universal principles accepted by all, although the advancement of knowledge in the empirical sciences has given rise to fashionable agnosticism in respect of these princi ples Yet there is something very impressive in the unanimity with which man, from the beginning of his planetary existence, has refused to see in death the end of his being and activities In a still remoter past, the cavemen of the Paleolithic age, laid their dead reverently to rest with the same belief as a further life Explorations in France, recently made, have brought to light a number of instances of ceremonial interament, exhibiting the excavated grave, the carefully disposed skeleton with offerings of food and implements laid beside the body for use in the life beyond Justification for the principle cannot be established on purely logical ground But the belief is widespread from the primitive times and has also been held in the philosophical world in the West, with the Orphica and the Pythagorean, and in ancient Indian religious thought Apart from prevalenos of the bellef in the primitive races of the world, the modern minds have been trying to find out justification in the fields of extrasensory perception and parapsychological phenomena The Universality of this widespread belief points to the fact that there must be some truth implied in it Indian seers have mentioned it as an act of faith and as an intuitive knowledge of the enlightened men, Page #214 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ T. G. Kalghatgl It is therefore necessary to investigate this article of faith of the trans migrations of souls from the historical and the psychological points of view It is necessary to survey the field of investigation and thought that have covered centuries of plailosophical and religious thinking 2 II To primitive times man began with vague awareness of the life beyond He was vaguely aware that some life persists even after death In the tribal religion we find traces of ghost worship and totemism which have their roots in animistic conceptions James Frazer says that there is a necessary connec bon with the forms of worship and the belief in immortality Among savage races, a life after death is not a matter of speculation and conjecture, hope and fear, it is a practical certainty which the individual as little dreams of doubling as he doubts the reality of his conscious existence He assumes that man continues to live even after death He finds that during sleep be is not aware of himself, yet after he gets up he finds himself in the same body Similarly in dreams he finds himself moving about in different places After he wakes up again he is in the same body Therefore, he concludes that he is enclosed in the body and is different from the body There is the beginning of the distinction of man's soul from the body Frazer saya that the primitive man assumes without Inquiry that there is a life after death, and acts upon it without hesitation, as if it were one of the ascertatned truths within the limits of human experience Many savage tribes believe that death is an unnatural thing and it comes only by unnatural incidents like accidents Even after death the person continues to live and Inhabit the body There have been customs of keeping necessary equipment and food for the person even after his burial We find this in the Egyptian mummies The ghost theory of the origin of religion also points out that the individual survives death and continues to inhabit the body and nearby places even after death Some Meanderal skeletons have been found deposited in graves and equipped with materials useful for the dead in the other world On the basis of these burial practices we may say that Meandertal man must have had a belief in an after-life Yet the primitive man is not able to concelve the immaterial and purly spiritual being Soul is vaguely considered as an ethereal image of the body and has the power of flashing about quickly from place to place As to the nature of after-life and its locality we can hardly expect to be able to reduce savage beliefs to a coherent system There is a general belief that in the interval between death and the burial the apirit hovers about in the 1 Mischa Titlev Introduction to Anthropology (New York, 1961), p 118 Page #215 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Rebirth-4 Philosophical Study neighbourhood of the body The unburied dead are supposed to be condemned to wander for ever, aimless and miserable But some rites seem to imply the belief that soul inhabits the grave or lingers in its vicinity The aborigines of Australia imagine that the spirits of the dead continue to haunt their native land, specially in some important places like a pond of cool water or a solitary tree These are the crude beginnings of the concept of the immaterial nature of soul and survival of soul atter death However, belief in a further life is not a belief in immortality in the strict philosophi cal sense although we are approaching towards it And as vet conception of the retribution involved in the judgement of souls and their wanderings 19 not formed These can be said to be only theories of continuance of the soul and not rebirth on the basis of retribution The idea of retribution would bring a new element in the scheme of the wanderings of soul This would bring the conceptions of rebirth and transmigration The theories of retribution and the consequent idea of rebirth and transmigration are based on deeper experiences than the theories of continuance in this there is question of moral order We find this element in later religious thought as in the case of the popular beliefs of the Hebrews and the Greeks In ancient Egyptian religious practices there are three different Ideas which refer to the changes in the personality (1) the union with a God (2) tranamigration of soul into an animal for a life time, (3) the voluntary metamorphosis of the person into another for his own benefit 2 The belief in transmigration among the ancient Egyptian does not seem to be quite pronounced, because there is no reference to it in the Egyptian texts Two scenes have been supposed to indicate it, these are judgment scenes. But the belief in metemorphosis was general as a magic process The earliest Egyptian tale turns on a wax model being transformed into a living crocodile, The Book of the Dead has a series of magic practices to giving power to the dead person to get transformed into whatever form he pleases The Egyptian mummies point out to the evidence that there is a widespread belief in the continuance of life after death Among the Hebrews Sheol was the gloomy abode of the dead It is a land of darkness and of shadow of death without any order Jehovah was the national God His dominion was limited to the world of the living and his jurisdiction did not extend to Sheol. With the compactness of national life of the Hebrews, the relation between Jehovah and the worshipper became more personal Nowhere do we find in the Old Testament a clear and definite doctrine of immortality We only get scattered anticipations in the Psalms and a few others However, among the Jewish mystics we get reference to the problem of the transmigration of the soul In the Jewish tradition Zohar gives Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics Vol. 12, p. 431 Page #216 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ TG Kalghatg! coupledance to some theory of tramsmigration of souls It is necessary upon Neshaman to climb back again to the Oversoul and be united with it, and in order to effect this end, it must previously have reached the summit of purity and perfection Therefore its sojourn within the confines of one body may be inadequate to enable it to reach this high and exacting condition It must experience other bodies, and it must repeat the experience till such a time as it shall have elevated and refined itself Zobar contains some such theory although for the fuller treatment one has to look to the Kabbalistic writers who built upon the Zohar To the minds of the Kabbalists, transmigration is a necessity on the grounds of their particular theology, and it is a vindication of Divine justice to mankind It settles the harassing query which all ages have raised Why has God permitted the wicked to flourish while the righteous man is dlowed to reap nothing but sorrow and failure ? The only way for reconciling the fact of child-sulfering with the belief in a good God, is by saying that pain is a retribution to the soul for sins committed in some of its previous states The Jewish literature on this subject of transmigration is an exceedingly rich one: The Greek Hade closely resembles the Hebrew Sheol It is also the common abode of the departed without regard to moral distinctions According to the old traditional religion of the Greeks, the common men bave to go to the gloomy realms of Hades and the few heroes and heroi04s, personally related to the gods such as Achilles, are sent bodily to the Island of the Blest In the Western sea, Soul is here considered still as the Rhostly double of the living man The idea of the Hades 18 not very condu crve to the belief in after life After-life is not very attractive Acbilles says "Nay, speak not comfortably to me of death, Ogreat Odysseus Rather would I live on the ground as a hireliag of another, with a landless man who had no great livelihood, than bear sway among all the dead that are departed " Yet the desire to live somehow after death persisted and the old belief of continuance of Ilfo after death and the primitivo practices continued to be predominent With the Orphic religion comes the idea of the essential diguity of soul along with the concept of sin Body is the prison-house of soul and true life of the soul will be realised only when it is finally delivered from body It is not easy to escape the cycle of birtha and deaths to which soul is condemned by its impurity Soul has to be purified before it attains the highest goal of deliverance The Golden tablets found in the tombs in the southern part of Italy and 10 Crete give careful instructions of the 3 4 Abelson (J) Jewish

must have been influenced by the doctrine of relocarnation prevalent in India at the time of and before the Buddha But some others would say it is possible that both these thoughts must have originated simultaneously The doctrine of transmigration and rebirth is so prominent in Plato's scheme of thought that we find it presented in some of his dialogues like the Phaendo, the Meno and the Repubim various forms He gives arguments for pre-existence and the continuity of life He sometimes speaks in mythical language also, as in the Nepublic In Plato's dialogues we get a systematic picture of the nature of soul and its destiny Socrates was primarily concerned with the care of the soul "I spend my whole time in going about persuading you all to give your best and chicfost care to the perfection of your souls, and not till you have done that, to that of your bodies or your wealth" Crito asked Socrates how they should bury him "As you please" said Socrates, only you must catch me first and not let me escape you" "My friends, I cannot convince Crito that I am the Socrates who has been conversing with you and arranging his arguments in order He thinks that I am the body which he will presently see a corpse, and he asks how he is to bury me" And Of the things which a man has, next to the gods, his soul is the most divine and most truly his Own and our opinion he ought to honour her as second only to the gods" Therefore when we are dead, the bodies of the dead are rightly said to be our shades or images, for the true and immortal being of each one of us, which is called the soul goes on her way to other gods, that before them she may give an account Belief in the divinity of soul and its immortality is a primary conviction in the Dialogues of Plato The Phaedrus gives the most brilliant account of pre-existence of soul and its heavenly origin 'The soul is immortal because it is simple and eternal It belongs to the world of pure ideas and forms-because of their rational nature-the souls all pass into the human form Their second incarnation depends on the kind of life they have led in their first earthly pertod of probation, and each subsequent incarnation is similarly determined by the use made of the preceding life In the Tunarus Plato represents the soul and body as everywhere uasted throughout the created universe He speaks of the human soul as implanted in bodies by necessity.10 6 Plato gives an imaginative picture of the states of the soul on the basis of the work that has been done previously Those who appear to be Incurable from the enormity of their sins are hurled down to Tartarus, 8 The Apology 9 The Laws, 959 10 Timosus, 42.

There the desires are bound like a wild animal which was chained up with man and must be reared with him In the Republic Plato speaks of the combination of man, the llon and the many-headed monster, combined in the external semblance of the man This gives the threefold division of man 14 The rational soul alone will survive the death of the body Aristotle drew similar conclusion in his doctrine of Active Reason Plato says that everything which has an opposite is generated only from its opposite A sleeping man awakes, and a waking man goes to 11 The Phaedrus, p 248-49 12 The Laws p 904 13 The Phaedo, p 79 14 The Republic, p 588 Page #220 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ TG Kalghatgi sleep, the two states alternate Slnilarly as life and death are opposites. they are generated one from the other, wbat dies must have been alive. and what is alive must have been dead The souls of the dead must exist somewhere, whence they return again into lifo 15 (4) Again Plato argues that soul is indestructible because nothing can be destroyed except by its own proper and specific evil The cyes for example are liable to the evil ophthalmia, the body could suffer and timber rot The specific evil of the soul 15 wickedness Therefore if the soul is destructible It must die of wickedness But wickedness cannot kill the soul and notbing else can destroy it 10 (5) Plato gives a further argument for the priority and eternity of the soul because it is self-moved It is the cause of all movements in the universe The argument centred round the priciple of self-movement Other things in inotion get their motion due to some external impact while bis soul is self-moved Therefore it is eternal (6) In the Meno Socrates is represented as eliciting a geometrical theorem from a slave boy by a series of appropriate questions The soul must have always possessed this knowledge and the boy is only recollecting it If the truth of all things always existed in the soul, then the soul is immortal. This argument is based on the theory of the recollection 17 In the Phaedo, the Phaedrus and the Symposium the argument for precxistence la presented in a poctic form The soul uses sight 'the noblest of the senses' It goes back from earthly beauties to the heavenly beauties and finally Beauty in itself - the idea of the beauty We see two objects to be equal Yet they only approximate to the idea of equality which is perfect equality We must, therefore, have had knowledge of equality before we first saw equal things and preceived that they all strive towards perfect equality and this falls short of it 18 Such knowledge must have been received by us before we were born (1) The soul is indestructiblo because it is simple and has no parts Plato argues about the immortality of soul on the basis of its simplicity and its unity We find these arguments in the Republic and in the Symposium (8) Finally plato gives mythle picture of the state of soul after death In the Republic, we have the myth of Er Plato gives a beautiful description of journey of the soul after death into strange lands and its choice of life to 15 The Phaedo, p. 70-71 16 The Republic, P 608 17 The Meno, p 85-86 18.

On the tenth day they took the dead who were nou stinking but his body was found fresh " On the twentieth day Er came to life as he was lying on the pyre and he told them what he had seen yonder His soul juurnyed along with great company until they arrived at a certain ghostly place where there were two openings in the earth side by side, and opposite thm and above two openings in the heaven In the middle sat judges These, when they had given their judgement, ordered the just to take the rjad to the right wbich fed upward through heaven, first binding tablets on them in front signifying their judgements The unjust were ordered to take the road to the left, which led downward They also had tablets bound on their backs They encamped in the Meadow Each company passed seven days in the Meadow On the eighth day they had to rise up and go their way The Arried at a place where lots were shown "Let bini whose lot falls first ba,e first choice of a life to which he shall be bound by necessity' Different patterns of life wbere laid on the ground and among them were lives of famous men, of unknown men and also of women "And when all the souls had chosen thele lives they went into Lachasis in the order of their choosing And she gave each the angel he had chosen to be a guard throughout his life and to accomplish his choice The Angel first led the soul towards clotho passing it under her hand and under the sweep of the whirling spindle, so ratifying the fate which the man bad chosen in his turn He touched the spindle, and then led the soul on to where Atropos was spinning, so that the threads might be made unalterable. Thence the man went without turning under the throne of Necessity, and after coming out on the other side he waited for others pass through At last they encamped by the river of Forgetfullness whose water 10 pitcher may hold All had to drink a certain measure of this water Then they went to sleep And at once they were carried up from thence along different ways to their birth, shooting like stars" After Plato's attempts to establish pre-existence and immortatity of the goal, it persisted down to the later classical thinkers, Plotloos and NooPlatonists in the Hebrews, there are traces of it in Philo and it was dcial tely adopted in the Kabbala The Sufi writers accept it Jesus's disciples tell him of the rumours that he is John the Baptist or Elijah or Jeremiah Julius Caesar finds the belief in rebirth among the ancestors of the British, for in his History of the Gallic Wars he writes that the Druids Inculcate this as one of their leading tenets' In the Middle Ages the tradition was continued by the numerous sects known as Cathari At the Renaissance Bruno upheld it.

Kalghaigl ated it in a modified form Hume and Schopenhauer mentioned it with respect Rod among contemporary philosophers there are some who are Inclined to accept it for want of inadequate evidence and proof In general the Westera philosophers did not persue the problem seriously The Christian theologians talled of immortality in the sease of continuance of soul after death and not in the sense of rebirth and transmigration Some sections of modern Philosopby were influenced by the sudden encroachment of science in o her fields of enguiry and discredited the belief in inimortality and survival of the life after death because consciousness and mental states, they say, are only products of the brain function They are epiphenomena The Question of survival of the soul after the destruction of the body does not arise ILL In the modern western philosophy, Dr McTaggart leans on the proHem of immortality of the soul involving pre-existence and continuance of soul after the destruction of the body The present attitude of most Western thinkers, he says, to the doctrine of pre-existence is curious of the many wbo regard oor life after death of our bodies as certain or probable, scarcely one regards our life before the birth of those bodies as a possibility which deserves discussion Yet it was taught by the Buddha and by Plato, and it 19 usually associated with the belief in immortality in the far East In modern Western thought the great support of the belief in immortality has been the Chrisisa toligion, and a form of belief which was never supported by the religion was not likely to be considered of any importance Aod, for some reason, Christians have almost unanimously rejected those theories which placed pre-existence by the side of immortality 10 Dr McTaggart accepts both pre-existence and recorrent earthly embodiment of the spirit He believes ibat any cvidence that proves immortality will also prove pre-existence The most effective way of proving that the doctrine of pre-existence is bound up with the doctrine of immortality would be to prove directly that the mature of man was such that it involved a life both before and after the putsent life 10 Dr McTaggart points out that the usual ethical arguments to prove immortality are not adequate to explain the belief in pre-existence He says that modern demonstration of immortality bas largely been ethical is character and not purely metaphysical and this explains why it has often been held in modern times that immortality was proved, although pre-existenot bas almost always been disbelieved on the basis of purely metaphysical arguments" Dr McTaggart says that any demonstration of immortality Some Dogmas of Religion (Edward Arnold, 1930), 19 McTaggart U M.)

And desire for immortality has importance because future will be, we believe and hope, a great improvement for the present, 6 It is also objected that if the chief ground for belief in the successive lives after death is for the progressive improvement of the person, then loss of memory would destroy all the achievement of the previous life, It is doubtless that boundless items of our experience lapse from conscious memory and survive only as dispositions and tendencies But although much may persist in the unconscious some continuity of consciousness and memory 18 involved in the ordinary personality Pringlo-Pattson points out that McTaggart's position is paradoxical and musicading when he asserts that in spite of loss of memory it is the same person who lives in the successive lives' He quotes from Leibniz and states that it is not useful to have immortality without mcmory "Graoting that the soul is e substance and that no substance perishes, the soul then will not be lost, as, indeed, nothing 18 lost in nature But this immortality without recollection 18 ethically quite useless What good, sir, would it do you to become King of China, as a condition that you forget what you have been ?

From this, Sri Aurobindo concludes that rebirth is a necessity, and an outcome of the root nature of our existence The individual is a product of plunge into self-oblivion by which ibe sense of identity with the universe is lost and a consciousness of a 64 65 86 Ibid 15 Sri Aurobindo Sri Turolando Problem of Rebirth Pondicherry, 1962, p The Life Drine, Vol II Pt II P 704 12 Page #241 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Rebirth-A Philosophical Study separate existence comes to him As a result the body la formed and cosclousness of a separate ego and through it the individual sell can develop Staelf and maintala Its relation with the Cosmic spirit.

The spirit in all these aspects is immortal 10 the sense of non-lemporal This is the spiritual immortality, as it does not connote persistance in time, but a sort of ineffablo timeless being There is also something la mia which survives death and carries bim along the road of gradual spirtual development This element is called a psychic belog which is the highest representative of the jipalman in man The persistance of the psychic belog through birth and death is called psychic immortallty The eternity of the spirit assumes the forms of Immortal existence ensuing through a long succession of births The empirical self steadily advances through the succession of birth towards the timeless perception that belongs to the transcendental ipurit Shri Aurobindo points out, that it is a psychic being that survives the death of the body and then goes to the psychlo plane for a thorough rearrangement of the past experiences and the final determination of the next birth. "I the psychic being that descends into the evolution of the empirical se evolves with it, suslains and secretly guides from within the physical, Vital and mental elemeots of its nature and serves as the central representative within the evolving empirical self of the transceadental Individuel Self As the spark of the Divine in the evolving creature, the psychic being candy guides the individual through the long succession of births towards the 109liaation of the transcendental Self as an elernal portion of the Divise Being and as a centre of the working of the Divine faktu,"7 During my discussion with Padmashree Dr Beadro, the conen Karnada poet, on the problem of Rebirth, Dr Bendre suggested that the term rebirth is not appropriate It is better to use 'Ac# incarnation,' as the old self is not bora in its old form It is in the process of evolution towards the Transcendental Spirit It would not be correct to look at the problem of rebirth as a process of doling out punishments and rewards, as an act 67 Shri Aurobindo, The Problem of Rebirth Sagaficance of Rebirth Page #242 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ TG

merely a cycle of recurrence, besitating fluctuat on' within a few set types, but it is a soul experience, a progress towards higher realisation And rebirth tells us that what we are is a soul performing constantly the miracle of self-embodiment as "What we are is a soul of the transcendent Spirit and Self unfolding itself in the Cosmos in an evolutionary embodiment of which the physical side is only a pedestal of form corresponding in its evolution to the ascending degrees of the spirit, but the spiritual growth is the real sense and motive What is behind us the past terms of the spiritual evolution, the upward gradations of the spirit already climbed, by which through constant rebirth we have developed what we are, and are still developing this present middle human term of the ascension " 30 The soul needs no proof of its rebirth any more than it needs proof of its immortality For there comes a time when it is consciously immortal, aware of itself in its eternal and immutable essence Once that realisation is accomplished, all intellectual questionings for and against the immortality of the soul fall away like a vain clamour of ignorance around the selfevident and ever-present truth "-0 We have so far surveyed the whole field of investigation of the problems of Karnia and Rebirth We have found that the Western approach to the problem was mainly on the basis of empirical investigations and from discursive reasoning It has, therefore, become fashionable in the philosophical world to discredit the belief in Karma and Rebirth The principle of verifiability has become an attractive criterion of truth To the modern mind the principles of Karma and Rebirth have never been proved by the methods of modern science and to the satisfaction of the new critical mind brought up la a scientific culture But neither has it been disproved "Modern science knows nothing about before-life and an after-life for the human soul, knows nothing indeed about a soul at all, nor can know, its province stops with the flesh and brain and nerve, the embryo and its formation and its development, Neither has modern criticism any apparatus by which the truth and untruth of rebirth can be established "71 But reason cannot go beyond the limits of discursive thinking As Bergson said, thinking cuts reality into pieces and cannot grasp the inner essence 68 Shri Aurobando The Problem

and the Jaina, along with the Yoga and the Bauddha, philosophies seem to represent the different branches of the main thoughtcurrent of Non Aryans of India that was prevalent before the advent of the Vedic Aryans This thought-current went underground in the days of the Vedas but afterwards having gathered strength it seems to have asserted itself and influenced the Upangads and Dharmalastras That the Sankhya (-Yoga), Jaina and Bauddha philosophles belong to one tradition is suggested by the fact that Mahavira, the 24th Jalna rthankara, was a sankhyacarya in his previous birth2 and that Buddha had become a siya of Alara Kalama and Rudraka Ramaputra who were sankhyacaryas In this context the declaration of Ac Sankara that the Sankhya is a Vedaniruddha tantra new meaning and magnitude Even Badarayana declares the heterodox character of Sankhya (Br Sa 115) This has prompted me to bring out the points of similarities between the Jane and the Sankhya philosophies JAINISM AND SANKHYA Nagin

are two ultimate reals Under the head of ajioa the Jainas count dharma, adharma, pudgala, 1 "These ideas (ie Sankhya-Yoga deas) do not belong to the original stock of the Vedic Brahmanic tradition Nor, on the other hand, do we find among the basic teachings of Sankhya and Yoga any hint of such a pantheon of divine Olympians, beyond the vicissitudes of earthly bondage, as that of the Vedic gods. The two ideologies are of different origin, Sikhya and Yoga being related to the mechanical system of the Jainas, which, as we have seen can be traced back, in a partly histor cal, partly legendary way, through the long series of the Tirthankaras, to a remote, aboriginal, non-Vedic, Indian antiquity" Philosophies of India, Zimmer, the Bollinge Series XXVI (1953), p 281 'If Dr Zimmer's view is correct, however, the preAryan, Dravidian religion was rigorously moral and systematically Dealistic yes before the birth of Zoroaster This would seem to suggest that in Zoroastrianiko a resurgence of pre-Aryan factors in Iran, following the period of Aryan supremacy, may be represented-something comparable to the Dravidian resurgence in India the form of Jainism and Buddhism" Zimmer Philosophies of India, p. 185, Note 8 by Editor-Campbell Avasyakacurnl I p 182 & p 220, Nava Nalanda Mahavthar Research Vol. II p 48 kapilasya tantra vedavidam 2 3 000mA0 2111 / Page #246 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Nagin Shah ataka, apd kala.

Shah own light on the other hand the Sukhyas do not regard omniscienco as natural to soul It is dependent on citla (material Intellect) When all the obstructions of lamas are overcome the citia becomes pure and undergoes transformations of anan'a objects, and soul (purusa) possessed of this type of pure citta has the bodha of ananta objects through receiving the rellection of ananta modes of the citla Thus in the Sinkhya philosophy omni science is possible through citta only But the hevala (free, emancipated. isolated) purusa (soul) being completely devoid of cuta could not have omniscience in that state of halval ya 2 In Jainisin all knowledges except omniscience are contingent upon soul's Association with Mutter whereas in the Sankhya all knowledges without exception (1 e including even omniscience) are contingent upon its association with Matter S The Sankhyas believe that in the process of perceptual cognition sense-orgaps get transformed into the form of their proper objects as soon as they come in their contact After that mind operates upon that form presented by the sense-organ and finally there arises a determinate form of that object in the material Intellect, eg this is a potas Thus the Sankhya accepts formal transformation of the sense-orgun and the material Intellect The Jainas maintain that there are four stages of the process of perceptual cognition, viz avagraha, tha, avdya, dharand el The Sankhya describes as to what happens to the concerned instruments at the concerned stago, whereas the Jaina philosophy siniply describes the development of the cognition itself The Jaidas do not say specifically as to whether or not the mind assumes the form of the object But it is notewortly in this condoction that Jainas have recognised material manas which gets transformed into the form of the object thought of This becomes clear from their description of manah paryaya nana 24 20 anantavamalAmbIyAnandamayAtmane / pramANamI. maGgala / tat sarvathAvaraNavilaye cetamasya svamAvi ko mukhya kevalam / prmaannmii01115| tathA sarvAvaraNamalApetasya zAnasyAnamtyAjJayamalpam / yogasU0 431 / AvaraNa tamasAs bhibhUtamAtamananta jJAnasattva kvacideva rajasA pravartitamudghATita grahaNasamartha bhavati, tatra badA sarverAvamamalerapagata bhaSati tadA bhavatyAnantyam / yogabhASya 431 / sadA draSTu svarUpe'vasthAmam / yogasUtra 13 // yathA apApAye sphaTikasyAlohite svasvarUpe'vasthAna tathA tvapAye puruSasya battiprativimbazUnye svasvarUpe'vasthAmamiti bhAva / yogavArtika 13 / 22. sAMkyataHkau0 27 / viSayasamparkAt tAdU pyApattirindriyavRtti yuktivI. 28 / Also see Yogasura 1 7 with Tattvavatsaradt and Vartika 23 bhavanohAvApadhAramA / tattvAryasU0 115 / tasvArAjavAtika 123 / Page #249 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Jainism and Sakhya he finite and variabis. alpervedings were the body which it c 6 Accordingto the Sankhyas, soul isallpervading whereasaccording to the Jainas its size 19 finite and variable, being always co-extensive with the body which it occuples from time to time 4.

Ganesb Tbite The Rajasayn (ancient indian royal cousecration)' is one of the major sacrifices in the Vedic ritualism Even though this sacribce has been sometimes bigbly glorified, it is worthy to be noted that some things in both the Vedic as well as Puranic literature there appears tu be some kind of antipathy fowards it Thus if one wants to know how this sacrlice bas been praised highly, one may refer to the Moh IC 11 55, 62 where it is described to be "a great sacrifice (muhakratu)" (see also II 3117, cp II 11 61-"mahaya Mo" Elsewbere the Rajastya is benoritoalistically described as the best among the sacrifices (kratusreptha Mbh 11,42, 46, IX 48 14 Cp Mbh VIU 80 23 makhabrestha, IX 48 13 kratuvara, XII 836 kratuttama) The otber side is, however, more interesting and more worth paying attention to Siace, no earlier autbor, as far as I can see, has paid attention tu the puinerous reforences showing antipathy towards the Rajasuya, let me first collect them together and then try to give an explanation of this attitude In the Vedic literature many times Rajasuya is described to be dangerous and leading to loss of valour Thus AV IV & Ic, it is said, "Death at tends bis royal consecration (tasya mptyus karalt rajasujam)" When Varona was consecrated his valour went away (SB V 451, TB 181 1, cp. SB V 4 3 2, TMB XVIII 9 1f) In order to avoid this fear of losing the valoar of the sacrificer-king, there are numerous sites inserted in the course of Rajasaya-sacrifice Thus MS IV 31, it is said that power and valour po away from him who performs the Ra jasaya * Therefore, a sacrificial cate is to be offered to Indra and Agai Then these deities furbish him with the power and valour (ojasa 1a esa uzryena vyrddhyate jo rajasuyrenabtropical 10 viryam indragni ojasalvainam virgend samardhayatah) This cake was disc uvered by Indra who had, after baving kuled Vttra, lost his valoar aad poworlodra obtained his valour back and similarly the sacrificer ako 1 For the Rajastiya sacrifice in general cf the following excellent literatur - Weber Uber die Konigshethe, den Rojsiju (Abhandlungen der Konig!

Cp Weber Konigsweihe P 13) Page #256 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Ganesh Thite obtalas bus valour Similarly MS IV 31 further says that the milk and valour go away from the performer of the Rajasuya (nayasa va efa Ultyena vyrddhyale yu rajasu) enabhisincate) When an offering of curds is offered to Mabendra the sacrilicer gets back his milk and valour The sacrificer loses his sense-power and valour when he perform the Rajasuya indriyena va esa whyena wyrddhy ate ju rajassiyenabhisincale) But by giving the above-mentioned curds-offering, these things are also obtained back (MS IV 31) As the Sacrificial fee for this offering, a linen cloth is to be given to a priest For be performer of the Rigasuya becomes devoid of deities The cloth belongs to all the dcities By glving cloth one reobtains the contact with gods (deratabhir 1 4 wrddhyale go rajasuj'enabhisincate, sarvadalratyah idsak, jad vasah kyaumin daksina decalabhrevainam samardhayuti" MS IV 31) Since power and valour go out of the sacrificer of Rajasuya, in the Rajastiya-sacritice Vacuvantiya saman 13 to be used for getting them back For by means of this saman lodra obtained back his power and valour gune out at the time of killing Vrtra (MS IV +9, cp TMB XVIII 11 3) And because the Varavantiya-saman is identical with the sense-power and volour, it is to be used in this sacrifice for reobtaining them, for the performer of the Rajasusa luss them (AS IV 49) Moreover, one wbo per forms the Rajasuya becomes devoid of speech (10c) Therefore the Yajayamiva sman in anustubh-metre is to be sung in the course of the Ransu & For the Yajnas aniya is identicul with speech When this sama becomes sung, sap becomes put in the speech of the sacrifice (Vaca va esa unidhyale ya rajastiyenah husthcale, vaganustubh pod unustupsu yanayojnilyan bhanal vacy asra rasam dadhani MS IV 49, cp TMB XVIII 11 2) At the end of the Rajasuya, Sautramani-offering is to be performed The reason, yun, is that the performer of the Rajasuya becomes devoid of sense-power and valour The Sautramani serves as an expiation for performing the Ramsuya and replaces the things which are lost (MS II 41) In this way it can be clearly observed that in the Vedic literature, the Rusay was considered to be a harmful sacrifice Efforts were, however, made to pacify the evil results of this sacrifice But when we come across the epic and puranic literature we notice thut tbe antipatby towards the Rajasnya has become greater Thus the Henadn's Caurlargacintamani, danakhanda (Calcutta, 1872) P 590 quotes Garudapurana According to which the following sacrifices are not to be performed in the Kali-era Asramedha, Purusamedba, Gosava and Rajasuta (na kalau kriyale yajao' seamedho'pi ca gosavak / naramedho ksala nari devarat putrasantatehgarhitam saptakan hyetad rajasiyan kamandaluhl) Rajastya is regarded as the root of many calamities and leading to personal as well Garudapurana uttargacintaman, dan Jesuya bas become Page #257 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Antipathy to the Rajasaya Why ? social disasters, particularly to wars The Rajasuya many times becomes ae object of censure on this ground Thus for example, when Varunt performed the Rajasaya on the Yamunatictha (a ford on the river Yarnuna)" he bed already defeated buman as well as divine heroes in the battles But after the performance a great war between gods and Dernons took place and it was destructive to all the three worlds Having told this to Janamejaya, Valsampayana concludes in general that after the Raksuja-performance great war takes place (granatumasa lila ajas uyum nalipule palig dilet mahabhago varino jai sitaprabhuh/il// tafra kira samyran manusandarvalinstarha/ varam kratum samagahre tarunah paranraha //'ll tasin kratinate Me sangramah samruyalal deranan danaldnash ca trailoky arya hajataks/19/1 rajasthye kralubresthe nulle jangme jaya / jajate Junal an ghoruh samgramak kze prarl//14// Mbh IX 48 11 ff The King Hariscandra bad to suffer numerous calamuties and the reason of this misfortune is as follows The sage Vigvanutra asked for the dakyan of the Rajasuya sacrifice and in fulfilling his demand the king had to unde no severe troublesome events (Markandeya-purana VII 25 A) Mereover the Rajasaya of the king Hariscandra was indirectly the cause of a great world. annihilating war between Adi and Baka For when Vasistha came to know that Visvamitra made Hariscandra soffer many pains be cursed him to be Baka (a bird connected with water) Visvamitra, in return, cursed Vasiat dan to be Adi (another bird connected with water) The curses, of course, proved to be effective But the dispute did not end The two scers, now di and Baka fought tremendously and their war was troublesome to the whole carth (Markandeya-purana, VII 89 ff, IX 27) In the Yogavasistha (ILI 106 I ff) we read the story of king Lamal who was the grandson of Hariscandra He bad mentally to become * Candala and to lead low kind of life of a Candala While expluplay why the king Lavana had to undergo this misfortunr, Vasistha tells Rous followe - I shall tell you how Lavana became Candgla due to his pental doradgoment One's mind has to undergo good or bad result according to its own activities Once upon a time Lavana belonging to the family of Hariscandra began to think in the following way--My grandfauber performed the Rajasuya-sacrilice I, born in his family, perform that sacrifice to my miod Then he mentally gathered together the secuficial materiah and invited priests and became initiated He hanured sages, avoked gode, 19flamed fire in this way be performed the sacrifice, gave dakpinas to the priests and at the time of evening canuo tu awareness Thus be performed the Rajasaya mentally and therefore had mentally to undergo the life of a Candala) Therefore, O Roma, it is the miod which receives the pleasure Page #258 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Ganesh Thile or pain Yoke if therefore to good activities (Yogavasistha III 115 25 ff In the Yogavasitha it is further expressly said "Those who perform the Ramsuva have to suffer calamities, full of various pajas for twelve years (vajavasia haridro ye ha le da latahdikan / apadduhlliam prapruvanli nanaka To YathaTara" III 1165) The stories of Hirtsrandra und Lavana indicate that the performer of the Ryjasill ha, personally lo suffer many difculties But the authors of cpics and Puri205 also intend to prove tbat the Rojasuya leads the whole Society to destruction Ther, for when anybody w lits to perform the RajaSuya his well-wishers try to disuade him from puiforining it Tho person desirou. 10 perfrutti Rujanya is also at time, aware of the evil consequences of the Rajusuya Thus for example in Valmiki-Rixyani (VII 835 ff) there is the following cyent Rimal desirous al performing the Rajasuya Ho expresses bis intention before his brothers viz Bharata and Laksmana "I want to perform the Rajasuva with the help of you two There is eternal religion lo 1t Only having correctly perforined the Rajasuya, Mitra, the killer of edemies becami Varun Soma, the knower of religion, having performed the Rajasuya obtained fame and firm place in all the worlds" Then Bharala said to Rama "You are a good king taking care of the people The welfare of the people depends upon you Still why do you perform much a sacrifice in which destruction of the families of King on the carth evident All the beroic mun, full of valour, will be annihilated in it Everything is in your command.

(for the description of which see Katya XV9 11 ) seem to be ritually symbolizing the kingly expedition for victory While giving the significance SB V521 says that the sacrificer by means of these offerings yokes the seasons as it were and then these seasons, having been yoked, carry the sacrificer Further, SB V 523, it is said, "yetha alire yuktva pranca apravrsam yuyuh/ turn yunkte ta enam tedrtavo yuktah prancah apravrnam sahontijsadvar Dopravukian apavisam anucaranii" Thus to offer the first six out of the 11 box Ritmahavim STS I 86 TB I 73, MS II 65-6, IV 3 8-9 KS XV 4, SR J If Bailass II 4 Apas XVIII 10 12 ff Satayks XIII 4 4 1f Katya \ 9 10 12 tam ter example the king Bhagiratha got victory over many kings He performed the Pajavuva fut eight times But he tells to Brahma that lus obtainment of heaven not due to that died -Mbh XIII 106 13 Vuutya nrpathe sarvan makhalristva tubo ajusujehhyo nu cu tenahamagatall Page #267 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Antipathy to the Rafasiya .

For before the Asvamedha sacrifice also there are expeditions , there are battles. there are annihilation. But no objection is raised against the Asyamedbr from this point of view On tho contrary in the case of Rome, Bharata advised him not to perform the Rajasaya and prescribed the Asylmedha before the performance of which many battles did take place.

The epic, poranic and vedic texts have not raised this question at all They naturally have no answer to it Now lot me try to give a possible answer One of the very loterestiog peculiarity of the Rajasalye sacrifice is that in the ritual of this sacrifice the king's relative (presumably a younger brother) has to take an expressedly lower position and to perform some self 10sultog activities Thus when the king is being consecrated one of the persons who have to make the king consecrated is the king's relative (SB Y 3 5 12. Katyass XV 530) After the consecration 16 Over, there a 4 symbolical expedition and the sacrificiog king ritually wing the cows of his own relative Thus, towards the north of the Abavantyt-fire one hundred or more cows of the king's relativo are placed (SB V 431) The max equipped with arms etc as if he were golog on an expeditwa He has now to win those cows SB V 4 3 2 gives the reason why cows are to be won Tour according to it, when Varuna was consecrated his valour departed from him. 13 For the expedition in the Rajutya soe Weber Konigswie, p 58, 93, 06. 14, Cro & Jaiminiya-avamedha I 508 Page #268 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Ganesh Thite be found it in cattle Therefore one has to win cows For the sake of winning them, & chariot is to be taken down from the stand For whatever turns away from the warrior, that be overtakes with b/s charlot At the time of taking down the chariot, one says, 'indrasja vajro'si' thou art Indra's thunderbolt (VS X 21) (SB V 434) When horses are yoked to the chariot, the first, right horse 19 to be goaded with the words "marular prasa vikt Jaya (ennquer thou by the Impulse of the Maruts)" (VS X. 21) (SBV #38) Then the sacrificer-king takes his chariot towards the cows and step it in the midst of the cows (SB V 4 39) Then be touches & cow with the end of the bow with the words, "samindnyena finanitmak kuna makiti gether with the sease-power, I conquer them, I seize them" VS X 21) Commenting on this, the SB V 4 3,10 says "The cows are Identical with the sense-power, valour It is the sense-power, valour, that he thereby takes to himself" Thus the sacrificer wins symbolically the cows of his own relative (cf also Katyass XV 6 12 ff) SB V 4311 cxplains why the cows that are to be won are of one's own relativa "Now as to why he stops admidst the cows of his relative, whatever Is tending away from a man be it either famo or anything else, that passes over to his relative foremost of all, that sense-power, valour, be now takes again from his relative to himself, that is why he stops amidst the cows of his relative (tadyat suasya gosudyacchati yadvai purusat parag blanti jaso 12 kiscid 17 sath halvassa tat pratamam (vabhyatikramatl, tat svedes alta dondriyan lipan punaralman dhatte) In this way the one's own relative is thought here to be one's foremost enemy Therefore the ritual texts teach to overpower one's own relative of course in the ritual itself the sacrificer overpowers his relative only symbolically The real overpowering, it may be assumed, must be taking place befure the ritual But in order to give sacredness to that victory, this rate might have been included in the ritual of the Rajasaya Therefore, after the cows are symbolically conquered, as many or more cows are returned to the relative "For assuredly, he, the sacrificer, is not capable of a cruel deod, but cruelly indeed he acts when he says, "I conquer them, I seizo them and thus that is without cruelty, this is why, in return, he presents to him just as many (cows) or more (tasyaitanmdirir va bhuyasi va pratidadah , na va esa krurakarmans bhavati yadyajamanak, krilramiya va etat karoti yadaha Junamimah kurva Ima It, tatho hasyaitadakrilrath kytarh bhanall" SB V 4 3 12) In Latyavanasrautasutra IX i 14-22, this rite has been decribed in the following way, Weak relatives, along with their possessions are to be brought together At the time of offenng the daksunas, these relativos) arc Lo bo plundered He shoots arrows towards them Thoy (the relatives) brlog tbem (arrJwa) back, saying, "Be victorious, o King."

In connection with the latter the chapter division and sub-division into Satakas and Uddebakas has been retained as in the original but the peal within an Uddesaka have been re-grouped so as to facilitate the cxhibition of Inter-connections that obtain between consecutive passages, (as we shall 800 such exhibition of inter connections 18 & major achlevement of Prof Deleu's present study) And frequently enough a summary of contents to supplied with notes emphasizlog polnts that need emphasis To undertato a critical appregation of all this is the purpose of the present noto. It will be conducive to a better appreciation of Prof Deleu's perfor, mance if a few words are first independently said about the status and character of Bhagavatt Bhagapart belongs to that most fundamental division of the Jaina canon which is designated 'Anga' and is of the forma of a group of twelve texts (Including the long lost Deftlauda) And among tho Anga-texts Bhagavan alone is of the form of a huge collection of passages where Jaina positions on the most diverso- and more or lowe important-theoretical questions have been laid down and dofended. Now the very fact that Bhagavan has been included among tho Antefecte would argue the relative antiqulty of its contents but the surmise lo farthaar strengthened by the fact that 80 many of its passages cahiblt marked 1 Josef Delou year 1970 Viyahapannati (Bhagarat) Ghent Unmukty publicatioe of the Page #272 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ KK Dixit archalsms-of form or of content of course, even Bhagayan includes passages which, on the basis of their form or of their content, prove to be relatively modern To make matters worse, in the first 20 satahas which form the bulk of the text (they covering 800 out of the 980 pages of the edition published along with Abhayadeva's cominentary) the relatively anclent and the relatively nodern passages stand fornuing a liopeless tangle, as for the last 21 sutakos, they are made up of passages that are in almost all cases relatively modern fn this background it shonld be easy to realize the importance of the Ihrec questions sought to be solved by Prof Deleu in bis Introduction, viz. (1) Are the larahag 21-41 (minus 25) a later accretion ? (2) Is the sotaha 25 a later accretion ? (3) What is the characterizing speciality of the fatahas 1-20 ? Obviously, these questions have been thus formulated because Schubring following a hint of Weber) liad argued that the satakas 1-20 constituto the original kernal of Bhagalati and that the sataka 25 well goes with them while the rest of the satakas 21-41 are later accretion As for the latakas 21-41 (mir us 25), they were divided by Schubring into the following sub-prous" 21-23, 24, 26-29, 30, 31-32, 33, 34, 35-40, 41 AU hoe latur sotahas discuss one question (rather series of closely related questions) cach-each of them discussing its question in connection with several types of being, these types being different for different sotakas but there also being cases when several satakas share the same series of being-types It can bu seen that Schubring collects several satakas in the same sub group wh24 th questions discussed by them are somehow interrelated (nor, suv, Wen they happen to speak of the same scries of beingtypes) Prof Deleu stapy reports Schubring and then goes on to supply hus own anser tu hus first, second and third questions As we have seen, his first question relates to the satakas 21-41 (minus 25) For arguing that tbese satchas aru latu accretion his grounds are two viz (1) their uniform contents', and (2) the uniform structure of their dlalogue, Goyama inyariably questioning Mahavira in the Gunasilaya sanctuary near Rayagiha' {p 19) Or Ihese the first ground ancounts to saying that each of these Kalahas discusses but one question, a consideration which was also somehow present at the back of Schubring's calculation and which, taken by itself, is not adequate to prove the relatively modern character of the Salahus in question, and the second ground does not amount to much, for the circunstantial selling of a Bhagavati dialogue is essentially a matter of literary manners and has little connection with the contents of this dialogue Prof D-luu thus fails convincingly to argue that the fatakas in question are relatively modern He however says certain more things about Page #273 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ A Recent Study of Bhagawattsatra Reviewed the content of these fatakas and let us see if they help us in deciding the point at issue 61 a As was noted earlier, the futukas 21-41 (minus 25) have been divided by Schubring into sub-groups and in doing so he has been guided by the consideration of similarity which the contents of two consecutive salakas might possibly exhibit Something of the same sort is done by Prof Deleu Thus he feels that the satakas 21-21 deal with the topic of rebirth, the first three with this topic as applied to certain particular vegetal types of being the last with it is applied to all the types of beina (P 20) As a matter of fact, the satakas 21-23 discuss thirty-three general questions in connection with certain particular vegetal types of being and it sheer accident that the first two questions here ask as to what being types and in what manner are possibly born in the midst of the vegetal types in question, the third as to what happens in case members depart from the midst of these vegetal types. (subsequently too, two or three questions deal with the problem of rebirth) Be that as it may really strange is Prof Deleu's characterization of the satakas 26-41 as an application of the Jaina method of quarternary arithmatic to the enormous doctrinal field of rebirth' (p 20) Since the doctrinal held of rebirth is so enormous one might plausibly say that all the salakas in question (perhaps, barring 30) have something to do with some aspect or other of this eld, but to say that is not to say anything much significant And as for the application of the Jaina method of quaternary arithmatic Prof Deleu himself concedes that it is absent in the satakas 26-30 and again in 33-34 By way of explaining the anomaly he suggests that surakas 33-34 since they say something about the one-sensed beings, have been prefixed to the jalaka 35 where quaternary artithmatic is applied to the case of the one-sensed beings, and as regards the satakas 26-30 he feels that they may have been conceived as a suitable introduction to the whole' (P 22) The whole explanation in as clear as mud But what is most disturbing is the circom tance that even in the Satakas 31-32 and 3 41 the application of quarternary arithmatic' is perhaps the least signincant part of the discussion Thus in these satakas when a question raised in connection with the members of a being type numbering Arta, treta, drapara kali-whether 'gmail', 'big' or 'general-then barring trivial exceptions the answer that is given is absolutely the same as would have teen given in case the question was raised in connection with these memte s as such (not in connection with them as numbering this much or that) The fact of the matter is that the Bhati sataka, 21-41 (minus 25) have been composed chiefly with an eye ou her formal structure - not on their contents For, in the course of bustorical development there took Page #274 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ K. K. Dixit place within the Jajna camp a maturization of systematic thought and the process took one special turo Thus the Jalna authors would often formulate a list of items and would pose questions and offer answers to them in terms of these items in the simplest case the question would be asked about these items themselves, in a ralatively more complex case the question would be asked whether a being-a being in general or one belonging to this or that type-is or is not characterized by this or that item and if it is then in what precise form, in the most coin plex case the question would be asked whether a being--& being in general or one belonging to this or that type-as characterized by this or that item does or does not satisfy a given description Ad illustration of the first type is list that repeatedly occurs in Bhagavalt on P 80b, on p 95b, and as part of a bigger list on p 5718, lo the first case the question is whether it can be said about any two items taken at random that one precedes the other, in the second case it is whether this or that item is heavy or light or neither-beavy-oor-light, in the third case it is whether this or that item 15 or is not possessed of a colour, taste, smell, touch An illustration of the socond type is the list that occurs on p 508b, here it is asked about several types of vegetal being whether they are or are not characterized by the 33 items of the list 10 question and if they are then in what precise form AD illustration of the third type are the two lists that occur on p 5% , bere it is asked as to how many hellish beings characterized by the Items of the lists 10 question can be born simultaneously [All these illustrative lists are golog to be used by us in some connection or other] The following is a catalouge of the most important of the other such lists Occurring in Bhagavan (1) P 686 (6) P 762a (also 773b) (2) R. 2576 (7) p 770b (3) p. 2602 (8) p 772b ( p 345b (9) P 790b (5) p 731b The poteworthy point is that

this process becomes clearly cvideat from the perosal of the Bhagavati Satakas 21-41 (minus 25) All these fatakas without an exception discuss this question or that in terms of a pre-formulated list

the group 26-29presumably on the ground that the two are sharply different in contents, similarly, be detaches the Satakas 33 and 34 from cach other-again, presumably on the very same ground But in viow of what has already boco said the differences in question will have to be ignored, for it is rather & strong point of a list of Items' that it can be used to handle questions which sharply differ in contents Perhaps, it needs no arguing that discussing questions in terms of pre formulated list of Items 18 & relatively late phase in the progress of systematic thought On this ground, not only are the Bhagavan Jalakas 21-41 (minus 25) proved to bo relatively modern but so also are those carlier catalogued passages which occur somewhere in the Jalakas 1-20 and which make use of this or that list of stoms However, in the Bhagavan Jatakas 21-41 (minus 25) the process of list-formulation itself appears in a rather advanced form and that would prove that these fatakas are in any case particularly modern This aspect of the situation deserves special consideration That discussions conducted in terms of a pro-formulated list of Items represents a relatively late phase in the progress of systematic thought might be easily granted, but that taken by Itsell will not prove much For It Is Just possible that these discussions are the outcome of some way ward tendency exhibited by some stray group of Jalna theoreticians at some obscure period of history So what has to be proved is that those discussions are possessed of somo gerlous significance for the history of Jaina theoretical speculation Fortunately, that can be proved and as follows The Jaina theoreticians of the classical period, particularly the Karma specialists among thom-that 18, those who have composed special treatizes devoted to the doctrine of Karma-had got ready with themn 1 standard list of 14 items-technically called murgasasthanas ( = points of lavestigation)-in terms of which they would discuss quotions of all sorte, Page #276 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ K. K Dixit The items are as follows (1) gati (life-species of four types) (2) indriya (3) kaja (4) yoga (5) veda (6) kasara (7) lesya (8) samyaktya (9) jnana (10) darsana (11) samyama (12) aharaha (13) sanjnin (14) bhavya of these, inost items exclusively pertain to the mental sphere while things pertaining to the bodily sphere are said in connection with the Items 1-4 and 12 And these items bave been made use of in two ways, viz (1) by asking as to whether a being is or is not characterised by this item or that and if it is then in what precise form, and (2) by asking as to whether a being characterised by this or that item satisfies a particular description (which description might possibly be fairly complicated) Now the Bhagarant 'lists of items' earlier catalogued are also mostly an amalgam of the items pertaining to the mental sphere and those pertaining to the bodily sphere, and as we have seen these lists too have been made uso of in the just mentioned two ways [The list that repeatedly occurs on pp 80b, 95b, 571a is an exception on both these counts For firsly. It includes not only such items as pertain to the mental and bodily spheres but also such as pertain to the cosmographic and ontological spheres, and secondly, in connection with it questions have been asked about tho concerned iteins themselves Perhaps, here we have one example of a wayward tendency exhibited by some stray group of Jalna theoreticians at somo obscure period of history] The conclusion is inescapable- at least it 19 very plausible to conclude--that the Bhagavati passages containing the lists under consideration are representative of that process of groping which ultimately led to the catablishment of the classical doctrine of marganasthanas Viewed in this back-ground the Bhagavani batakas 21-23 and 24 are found to be employing a list of items 10 essentially the same manner in which it has beco employed in the earlier fatakas As a matter of fact, the Satakas 21-23 simply reproduce without any change the discussion contained on p508b (=the uddesahas 1-8 of the Sataka 11) What happens Is that the same discussion which to the earlier passage 18 connected with one vegetal type of being has been connected with certain other such types in the fatakas 21-23, but since all the vegetal types whatsoever stand in practically the same relation to the concerned list of items these later tatakas have practically nothing to add to what has already been said Page #277 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ A Recent Study of Bhagvaratra Reviewed in that earlier passage As for the fetaka 24, it certainly has sowa list of items and the being-types taken into consideration by it are does Dated in a fairly complicated manner, but so far the sono of the matter is concerned this baraha stands on the same fooding as the fatahas 21-23 For here too it 18 asked about oertale belege types whether they are or are not characterized by the items of the list concerned and if they are then in what precise form Therefore, one might plausibly maintain that the material contained in the Bhagman katakas 21-23 as well as 24 can woll be transferred to the earlier Sarakas Of course, in those satakas this material will have to be attributed to relatively modern sub-stratum but since such a sob-stratum is already pro sent there in these Jatakas the transfer will create no special problem The case is different with the material contained ja tho saratas 26-41 For in these fatakas an attempt is invariably made to work out a list of Hong where two sub-lists of simple items are joined to a third sob-lut of such compound items as are got by combining one Item of the first BUB-IIst with one of the second Thus suppose one sub-list consists of the items P, 9, . (the total number of items belog m) And another consists of the Items , b, c (the total number of Meros belng n), then the third aub-list will consist of the items -como-> a-cum-9, a-cum-| b-cum-p, b-com-4, 6-cum- c-com- c-com-4 c-cum-r (the total number of items being m 1,m-mukulpted-by-w). Logically speaking, the sub-list with compound items is practically redte dant, for If we know (say) how a belng behaves as characterized by p and also how it behaves as characterized by a, then it is automatically know how it will behave as characterized by p-cum-a But thla cherestado did not prevent the Jaida agthors of the farakas In question from working out lists containing a sub-list of compound items. However, the that thout in those fatakas osc has been made of such ista la not apparaat on the face of it, so let us consider them one by one - rather groep be proup. On the basis of the Identity of their formal structure the farakoa 26-30 are found to constitute ono group, 31-32 another group, 33-34 a third group, 35-40 a fourth group, 41 a fifth group] In the latakas 26-30 there are two sub-lists with Il aod 10 tons respectively The first yields the number of clauses in an uddahaka- tholt number being 12 (1 0 1 + 11), the second the number of wadahatan themselves--this number being 11 (1.c 1 + 10).

But instead of drawing any far-reaching conclusion from the Pour Deleu rather counsels caution 'This does not mean', be says that the wholo has been built up of one piece', (ibid) Prof Dolou's fat seem to be that somebody might come out with the suggestion that those who are all from the pen of one author, a fear which he spelu to duped by polnting out that the application of quarter pary anhmatic # abront le the fatakas 26-30 and 33-34 [Then he goes on to offer blow apua tion of this absence, an explanation we have alrcady consideredy. As a matter of fact, what needs to be surmisod 19 just this that the lomban x41 are from the pen of authors who shero certain typlont methodologies tendencies Not that the problems discussed by there authon are not going devoid of interest, but they are here used merely as pretende for phulung vent to the methodological tendencies in question As for the authorship these fatakas it is quite possible that someone wrote foro than one OK of them but it is equally pagsible that each of them was written by 1 d orant person, the point is not much in portent Then we come to Prof Delou's second question which relates to the bataka 25 and asks whether it too is a later accretion, Schubeing bad malan tained that this fataka well goes with the latakas 1-20 which are original Page #280 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ K, K. Dixit and so might Itself be orginal On this question Prof Deleuls of two minds but he is more luclined to disagree with Schubring His discussion of the problem brloga to light certain aspects of his understanding as to the criteria for judging the originality or otherwise of a Bhagavan passage As a matter of fact, the lataka 25 chiefly consists of two longsustained systematic expositions-ope pertaining to ontology, the other pertaining to ethics in the former copious information is conveyed about the substances (dravyas) of all sorts (le of the sorts posited by Jaida Ontology), about their constituent units (pradeta), about the configu. ration (sansthana) exhibited by physical bodies, about the lines (sreni) CAcompassing the world and the not-world In this connection numeral calculations are undertakon frequently where use is made both of the numbera sankhyata, asamkhy ata and ananta and of the numbers krta, treta, dva para and kali la the part containing the systematic exposition pertai. nlng to ethics three topics are treated one by one, viz nirgranthas (=monks) of five types, samyatas (=the self disciplined odes) of five types, tapas (apenance) of two types The Jataka closes with a brief treatment of certain problems related to rebirth and It begins with certain discussions of a ruther miscellaneous nature This much information about the coutents of the fataka 25 should enable us to evaluate Prof Delcu's pronouncements regarding it (1) Thus about the passages containing a systematic exposition of those ethical topics be rays "they present all the characteristic features of a secondary pannatti' (p 23) By a secondary pannatti be understands the later Upanga texts like Prat pena, Joabhigama, Jambudotpaprajnapti, Suryaprajnapti and his idea Is that the Bhagavan passages to question contain as systematic an exposition as any of these texts He is correct Certainly, even earlier there occur in Bhagavalt passages that contain a systematic exposition of an ethical topic but so far as systomatic character la concerned the Bhagayati pasaupo la question definitely surpass these earlier passages (1) Prof Delau's remarks about the passages containing an exposition of those ontological topics is less apt. For he describes them as dealing with two topla (sedhi and jumma) that will play a leading role to XXXI seqg' (ibid) As a matter of fact, frent and yugma (the numbers krta, treta, dva para and kall) are but two of the so many ontological topics discussed in the pasager la question. And as regards the fataka 31 etc-rather as regards the Satakas 26-41-we have already soon that they are noted not so much for any of their contents as for their method The concept of yugma plays I minor role in the discussions of the Satakas 31-32 and 35-41 while the conoept of frent plays in important role in the discussions of the fataka 34, but that is almost all to it, that is to say, these concepts just happen Page #281 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ A Recent Study of Bhagatanistra Reviewed to be involved in the discussions of these later batatas lo passing lat also be noted that in connection with the present exposition of potological topics Prajnapana bas been referred to several times but this text bes no use whatsoever for the concept of yugma, the conclusion is incacapable that this concept had attracted the attention of an early generation of Jaina theoreticiaus but had been abandoned by the later on.s (11) Prof Deleu's observation regarding that concluding portion of the lataka wbich touche upon the problem of rebirth is also not enlighting enough. Thus bo mys, 8-12 clearly introduce XXXI seqq' (ibid) As a matter of fact, the uddesaha 8 raises a few questions about the mode of reblito sed the subject of its enquiry is 'a soul as such', in the uideiglas 9-12 the same enquiry has been mechanically repeated for a soul that is bharya, kod that is abhavya, 'a soul that is samyagdrsti' 'a soul that is makida 'mechanically' because in relation lo the questions rused a noul ta chat rized in these four ways chobot bebave in a fashion differeat frum 2 soal * such This is a good example of four reduadant enquiries superadded to : significant one la the fataha 31 a similar performance 13 hlaged on an even bigger scale For here too certain questions pertaining to rebirtb barve been raised (one important question being repeated from the datata 25). And the subject of inquiry here are first the bellish beings aumbering krta, freta, dva para, kall' and then the same beings as characterized by the 77 items of a pre-formulated list It can easily be seen that the answer that are here given to the questions raised are identical in the case of the numbers and all the items considered, (a trval exception is the question about the number of beings purveyed, for this pumber is kyta 10 the care of the beings qumbering krta, treta in the case of those numbering there, and to on and so forth-an obvious fautology) Thus what has happened is that the relatively simple inquiry of the uddelakas 8-12 of the Jalaka 25 har 10spired the author of the talaka 31 to conduct a similar enquiry 10 torent of a pre-formulated list of Items (Such relationships obtaia ia the cast of other later salakas as well For example, the content of the lataka 26 kas Its clue in the uddelaka 8 of the sataka 8 (P 383 b)- just as its forme his its clue in the first uddelaka of the lataka 13 (p. 596) Thu bere too the later sataka simply makes uso of the contents of an cartier lalakad It docs so in the interests of a particular mothodology belag worked out) (Iv) Lastly, we consider Prof Deleo's estimate of the malscellaneous Jlacussions occuring towards the beginning of the falaka 25 (Prof Deleu bere brackets together the uddelakas 1, 2 and 5 But as a matter of fact, the uddesakas 2 and 5 are a well planned part of the ontological discossion that also covers the uddelahas 3 and 4). The fact that the passages in question are miscellaneous in character-composite as he calls them - makes Prof Delou incline to gcoop them with the carly satakas 1-20, a inclination Page #282 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ K K Dixit which 19 further strengthened on discovering that here as in those early tatakas references are made to the texts like Prajnapana and Jivabhigama But since these passage do not exhibit stylistic variations of the early salakas Prof Deleu becomes hesitant and then surmising that the references to Prahapana and Jnablagama might be a later Interpolation he gets ready to grant that the passages are a later accretion As can be seen, Prof Deleus whol. position heavily depends on the considerations related to style Thus hiding these passages to exhibit two stylistic tendencies - viz to be uniposite and to refer to other texts-h is inclined to group then with the earlier satakas while finding them to luck certain other stylistic tendencies he is inclined to treat them as a later accretion The procedure is considerably vulnerable, for decisive in this connection ought to be the considerations related to content For example, one passage in the first uddelake of the jataka 25 (p 842b) speaks of 14 types of being But these 14 being types are unkown even to a text as late as Prajnapana on the other hand, under the title jwasthanas' they are well known to the classical Jaina authors, particularly the Karma-specialists among them Under these circumstances it should be only natural to think that the passage in question is a later interpolation in Bhagatan Be that as it may, In order to do full justice to Prof Delen's present argumentation it must also be considered how he answers his third question which relates to the Jatakas 1-20 70 As was noted in the beginning Prof Deleu's third question is 'what the characterizing speciality of the latakas 1-20 7 By way of answering this question Prof Deleu has done two things viz (i) To classify passages into types taking into consideration their styllatic peculiarities of which five have been pin-pointed Thus we have la all the following five types of passages (1) Ordinary dialogues (2) Dialogues narrating episodes (abbreviated as E) (3) Dialogues referring to the rival views (abbreviated as A) (4) Dialogues referring to other texts (abbreviated as R) (5) Non-dialogue passages (abbreviated as ND) (i) To discover the principles that were possibly fullowed while arrangging the passages into uddelakas, the uddelakas Into Jatakss, the fatakas into the total text In connection with both a good amount of solid research work has been done Let us consider them one by one, Page #283 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ A Recent Study of Bhagavattura Reviewed Call convided into radi Bhagavart is essentially a record of the theoretical speculation toder. taken by several generations of Janda thinkers-all considerably ancient. Hence It is most desirable that the Bhagarati passages be divided into those narrating episodes and those dealing with the problems of theory a rather purt form For it is not at once easy to get at the theoretical consideratione underlying the narration of an episode. Prof Deleu, by collecting in one group the entire lot of Bhagavant cpisodes, facuitates the task of studying them in & connected form Also helpful is bus sub-division of these cpisodes into what he calls 'conversion stories and what he calls 'worse abont gods' of course, the two sub-divisions are not wbolly varelated, for a Jaiba convert is most likely to be a god in his next birth while a podle most likely to have been a Jaina convert in his past birth As suck both the subdivisions of episodes are aimed at glorifying the Jaina crood and # Is the task of a researcher to point out as to what aspect of the crood u brought to light 10 this episode or that. Prof Delcu's introductory aanhala of these episodes should serve as a good starting polut for fruitful recarcha work in this direction Then there remain the passages which deal with the problems of theory in a rathor pure form Here & fondamental sudbivalon should be made between the dialoguos referring to other texts and the remaiBIR passages In connection with the former there arises the important question 88 to what is signified by certain Bhagavati passages thus referring to other texts Prof Deleu has made a complete text-wise catalogue of these rote rence dialogues, in each case indicating the precise location of a dhulogue within the body of Bhagavatt But he has aot thought it proper to ak na to when and wby these reference dialogues were at all composed A# Me shall sec, the question 18 most crucial and remains to be raised. Lastly, there remain the ordinary dialogues, the dlalogues referring the rival views and the non-dialogue passages No line of warlow theorotical significance divides these three groups, though specific points of minor afgnificance might be noted in connection with ouch. For carmaple, Prol. Deleu bas discovered that a good number of non-dualogpe pasme 270 auch as also occur in Sthanangasutra and it might be an interesting query whether the rival views considered in Bhaavall were actually upheld by any group of Indian theoreticians. But seca in a proper perspective wuch points are after all mjoor points All this has to be sald because the three groups of Bhagavatt passages 10 question are posstased of most serot siguificance and among them the most important and also the mout botky It the first group And what is rather lo portant u what is common 20 Page #284 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 142 92 KK Dixit these three groups-viz their pre-occupation with an examination from the Jaina standpoint of certain more or less important theoretical questions One has a feeling that Prof Deleu tends to emphasize what is peculiar to In any each of these groups rather than what is common to them all case, an assessment has to be made of what Prof Deleu contributes towards an understanding of these three most important groups of Bhagavat passages Prof Deleu himself makes no over-all evaluation of the contents of these three groups of passages -not, of course, of Bhagavatt as a whole Maybe he feels that the time has not yet come for making such an evaluation For in most cases there is so little continuity of contents between one Bhagavatt passage and one that follows that all attempt at evaluating the contents of the text as a whole torns out to be a frustrating experience And yet what Prof Deleu himself has done should facilitate such evaluation on the part of the future students of Bhagavatt Even so, what he has done has to be examined with a view to guessing as to what his evaluation of the whole text is likely to be, in other words, It is necessary to make a critical assessment of Prof Deleu's summary analysis of the contents of Bhagavan (occasionally supplemented by his own explanatory notes), an analysis that constitutes the main body of his present study However, before that is done let us cast a glance at the last thing-a very important thing-that Prof Deleu has done in the course of his introduc tion, viz. his sarmising the possible causes that led to the present arrangement of the Bhagavan passages into uddesakas, of the uddesakas into latakas, and of the latakas into the total text. ( 11 ) On the face of it, the Bhagavatt arrangement of passages into uddejakas seems to be most disorderly possible And since no single author could have composed such a huge mass of passages so loosely connected with one another the surmise was natural that here we have before us a case of some traditionally received material indiscriminately reproduced lu the form of the present text by some tradition-bound and dull editor or group of editors After Prof Deleu's study the situation undergoes an interesting change Of course, Prof Deleu too concedes that a logical interconnection between the consecutive passages is hardly ever present here, (he even goes to the extent of hluting (p 45, footnote 53) that in case such an interconnection is actually observed anywhere then It ought to be treated as being a result of some interpolation) But on his showing two types of extraneous connection are a frequent enoug occurrence within the body of Bhagavant, they may be designated 'associa tion of ideas' and 'association of sounds" The presence of both thes types of extraneous connection in the Jaina canonical texts was firs Page #285 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ A Recent Study of Bhaganerstra Reviewed noticed by Schubring who made & special study of them as occurring to Acardngasutra (I Srutashandha), Prof Deleu's study of them as occurring in Bhagalan is a mighty step in the same direction illustrations of both are quoted by Prof Deleu in his Introduction but stray illustralsons i hr not convince a skeptical reader What is needed is a careful sud of the Conspectus glven at the end of this Introduction and taking noxeuf all the relevant cases Prof Deleu has been able to discover Then Prof Deleu bas detected on his own certain types of editorial work inaaship This he find. that at places a passage serves as an introduction or 49 & cunclutun to a group of passages, at places a passage recal) (recurs to us Prof Ixeleu's phrase) an earlier occurring passage, at places ho passages cafrane the intervening group of passages, at places (40 passages are found situated in a parallel position of these too, all the cases Prof Deleu has been able to discover are taken note of in the Conspectus Again, Prof Deleu has drawn an empirical deduction to the effect that certain topics are usually found towards the beginning of a fataka, certain others towards the end of a jataha He makes a catalogue of such topics and takes role of their at due places in the Conspectos Lastly, Prof Deleu points out that "at least one group of texts was ordered according to the numerical stres 'one, two, three,' and at one time this series most probably went og in the immediataly following texts" (P51) What these texts are is meahpad and they are taken note of at due places 10 Conspectus All this makes Prof Deleu's Conspectus a really thrilling document Only let us not craggerate its importance For a close perusal of this Conspectus should convince one that the editors of Bhagavani had a rather strange nosion of an eur's job And even if several generations of editors bale worked on this text they are all proved to have shared a broadly similar mentality Tale on example The passages which are of the form of a bare relerence to other texts like Prajnapana etc could not have been composed carlier than the composition of these texts themselves which are all of a more or less late origin And yet Prof Deleu's Conspectus dicarly shows that the occurrence of these reference passages in the text is governed by the same subsidorutlon as that of other passages Similarly, the occurrence of tbe passages which on Independent grounds are proved to be of a late origin is govergod by the same considerations as that of the passages of contrary nature So, Prof Deleu's Conspectus serves one great nogave purpose in that it convlaces one that the things it brings to light are of th direct value to one seeking to work out a chronological strenfication of the Bhagavatt passages, Perhaps, it is not accidental that in the main budy of Prof Deleu's work--that is in the part containing a summary analysis of the Bhagavani (occasionally accompanied by explanatory notes)-the problems portaining to the historical evaluation of Jaina doctrices Ire Jaised almost Page #286 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 14 KK Dixit never However, even this part has got its own merlts and so by way of concluding let us make a critical evaluation of it as well Some 240 pages of Prof Deleu's book provide us with a seat summary of the contents of Bhagavait In this connection the chapter division and sub-division into Satakas apd uddesakas bas been followed as in the original but the passages within an uddesaka bave been re-grouped by Prof Deleu himself In the case of the later katakas 21-41 Prof Deleu's analysis makes possible a clear comprehension of the concerned formal structures and ag we have seen in these fatakas It is these formal structures that matter most, 10 addition, this analysis also enables one to grasp the essentials of the contents concerned for whatever they are worth. Hence the reader must be really thankful to Prof Deleu 60 far as the latter's performance in conDection with these small but significant later Jatakas of Bhagavatt is concerned The case is somewhat different with the early salakas 1-20 In tho case of these falakas the consideration of contents is the chief consideratrop even if the consideration of formal structure is not entirely negligible But towards these contents Prof Deleu adopts an attitude that is essentially unhistorical-virtually as unhistorical 89 that of the medleval commentator Abhayadeva, Thus it often happens that even when Prof. Doleu understands a passage correctly he fails to emphasize polnts that should Interest a historical minded student, and as is natural with all men there are cases when the learned professor simply misunderstands a passageoften repeating the folly of a Schubring of an Abhayadeva. Let us cite examples. (1) The phrase kriyaya sprstah is of frequent occurence In Bhagavalt Abbayadeva always equates it with harmiana sprstah and translates it as Toucbed by the karmic physical particles An unhistorical minded media val Jaina scholar could not bobavo otherwise But as a matter of fact the phrase krigaya sprstah has its historical roots in the primitive man's understanding According to which a criminal act gets hold of the agent and retains bold of him so long as it is not avenged Kriya is a technical Jaine term meaning an evil act let us for the moment forget that a monk's Ideal conduct too is one type of kriya) but the Illustration of a popular phrase parallel to kriyaya sprstah 18 vairena sprsiak which too occurs in Bhagavati (p. 92a) In the course of historical evolution the Jains theoretictang must have argued to themselves that if an evil act can touch the agent It must do so through gonerating something physical which alone can do any touching. Thus came into existence the celebrated Jalna doctrine of the karmic physical particles, Considerations like these apo absont from Prof. Page #287 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ A Recent Study of Bhagavartsutra Reviewed 75 Deleu's mind So at one place be translates hriyaya sptfak u Tonched by action (P80), at another place as "touched by karma' (p 100) while a third place he seeks to distinguish between 'com.pitting a knya' and being touched by a hrya' (p 111)-a non-exin.cat ditiadeon (2) In connection with its elaboration of the Karma-doctrine Bhagaver often uses peculiar designations wbich are unknown w tbe classxal faida scholars and which Abhayadeva does his best to equate with the deg. dations actually known to him lo this connection Prof Deleu tus fails to take note of the Bhagavati archaisms Here are a few cumples (1) Bhagavati speaks of a karma type kanhsamokon va and the context makes it clear that the designation is a precursor of the classical darsane mohaniya Abhayadeva always cquates kanksawuhanja with darsan.mohanty but the archaism involved fails to attract the attention of Prof Deku too wbo in this connection only disputes Abbeyadeva s translation of the phrase kanksamohaniya (p 77) The dispute appears to be puintless For Abbaya deva's translation is "Karman that confuses, in consequence of greed,' Prof Deleu's one that causes greed' But since Prof Deleu s translation too abould cover the phrase-part mohaniya his tragslalion ought to be 'ode (ie the karman) that causes greed and thus confuses', but as thus completed this translation is virtually identical with Abhayadeva's (il) Bhagavati uses several designations for a karma-type endlog 10 rodyt; they are varnavadhya (P 89 a), vu yavadhya (P 94a), indrapadhya (p 952 a), vedavadhya (952 a) This ending first occurs in connection with marnadhya and there-but only there-Abhayadeva suggests that yarnabahya might be a alternative Sanskrit reading of the original Prekrit phraso vonkabatha Now in connection with all these phrases Prof Deleu has made k a point to Bay that for the Prakrit bajha bahya 18 a better Sanstrit rendering thes padhya His preference is unfortunatoas should become evident from a Ilttle historical consideration Thus the context makes it dear that owlybajha is the same thing as the classical Viryantaraya ind it is easy to see that otryavadhya deserves to be a better precurtor of vrywariye than Wiryabahya. However, much more important is another aspect of the matter and that escapes the attention of Prof Delcu altogether For warndpadky Indriyavadhya and vedanadhya Are the karmi-types for which there are 00 classical equivalent and they seem to incorporate an older understanding of the problem Thus in the case of cach of these Kurma-types which are all evil the classical theory would posit two Karma-types--one good and the other evil, so according to it, the possession of a beautiful complextion is due to a good karma-type, the possessions of an ugly one due to an evil one, the possosaton of five sense-organs is due to a good Page #288 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ KK Dixit Larma type, the prinsesjon of less due to an evil one, (the possession of all sex is due to an evil Larina-type-but here considerations are soinewhat different) Of course both the old theory and the classical would be iscant to count f the identical groups of phenomena and in an essentially identicul fastion, but the refusal on the part of the old theory u pusit a good lur -yre > iemakable (As a inatter of luct, much evidence tends to suggest that thu concept of a good karmu-type is a later gronitat (1 Tha tuul Juind authors posits four cvil karina type--uf which two lidic al tron ending in diaranija, onic that Luding ju antaraya while the two) uh-typu, vf the lourth have a designation unding 111 mola 11 Nr : Rhygli p.3sd(P 430 a) us rather peculiar designu tin 11 tbt LL011 Here Jaandharanlja is the same as with the Classical auth , but instead ot darsanamohanlal and intramuhuniya we have dursana Yanina and curitrai vanlia while there are three altogether 14 d 9714011 Wulundurumta, adhy.nasaya aranzid und dhumanlardja Clearly, we are liar face to lucu with a stuge in ductual evolution wlun the ta lucal terniulug' was in a melting-pot Abhayadeva fuls to approciate this historical circunstance but it escapes the attention of Prot Deleu tuo (3) the blugar passuge last mentioned (rather a series of passages of which it is the first) exbibits Curtain other peculiarities a well Thus it fon P 474 by Cechy tu decribe the process through which person fiually gets rid of his larme dumulation Now this process under the tittle kuin h und (= Jestruchon of karma) is kuown to the latir authors in standarde tor 11 which is very different from its present torm Abhay que notives the discrepancy but has no explanation for it except that the blandardized version in question is for some reason not sought to be described in the present pusbage Prof Deleu tou does not tell us that what He has before us in the present passage is a historical precursor of the standardized version in question What is still niore disturbing, Prof Deleu in his uimary ( 161) notices only the first sentence of the desuuption concerned, appeading it to a sentence of an earlier descciption and oftering a translation of it which conveys a sepse just opposite of the intended one These are some of the cases where a historical minded student fails to receive from Prof Deleu the help that is expected But this is not to say that be receives from bumu au hulp whatsoever As a matter of fact, Prof Deleu' beuk is an extremely handy guide for all those who have to wade through the labyrinth that is Bhagaralt We have already recognized its cxtremne uslules for a study of the satakas 21-41, its usefulness is not very much less for a study of the early salakas Page #289 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 1 Recent Study of Bhaganatishira Reviewed Strictly speaking, our review of Prof Deleu's book should corae to 20 end bere But by way of concluding let us comment on some of Prof Deleu's linguistic usages and translations wbich to us appear to be queyo tlonable English not being Prof Deleu's mother-tongue he requests the reader not to take erception to his linguistic loadequacies. That is his sheer inodesty For the truth is that few authors specializing in Jz10150 - in any case, few among them who base themselses on canonical material have shown as good a command over English language as Prof. Deleu So, the following criticism is directed not against Prof Deleu's linguistic inadequacres but against some of bis deliberate practices and socidental crrors (1) The phrase orgrahagall means 'transmigratory inution' but it might also mean 'Iransmigratory notlog involving a turning' AS is clear from his remark on p 307 Prof Delcu has just the opposite understanding of the matter and he seerus to have been misled by Abhayadeva's practice However, in order to save himself some inconvenience Abbayadevt translates a-vigrahagati as reuther no transmigratory motion at all or transmigratory motion pot involving a turning (8 p 85a). and at one place (le P. 641 a) where his usual practice would lead to an absurdity he explicitly adopta the contrary one Prof Deleu does not employ Abhayadeva E strategem and sticks to his usual practice even in that impossible case, As a result big position on this question is more unenviablo than Abhayadeva's (2) Describing the range of somcone's thursana Bhagavan oflen says It is the lisaj amatra of this lkurvaga' Prof Deleu understands thing to mean that vikuryand is a case of illusory perception. What the phrase actually ineaps is that so much is the possible ringe of the vikuron in question--the contrast thus being not between real range and Wusory range but between possible range and actual range [The intended contrast betrayi an element of anomaly but that is a different matter). The phrase as it occurs on p 154a might be open to the interpretation offered by Prok Deleu but the same as it occurs on P 170a sbould leave him in po doubt on this score (3) Prof Deleu has simply misunderstood the sentence tamlo chuaplatul masanath' etc occurring on p 92b It really means "If the victim dias within six months the assailant is gulity of fire kriyas, if #dia after six months he is guilty of just four' (4) (a) Following Schubring Prof, Deleu bas misunderstood the phrase Sekasamayenan kevatiya hoga' occurring on p 4351, The phrase also occurs on p908A and in connection with it he himself translates it correctly Page #290 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 78 KK Dixit (b) Similarly, following Schubring Prof Deleu bas misunderstood the words sanlara and mirantara occuring on p 439a The words also occur on p 975b and in connection with it he himself translates them correctly (5) The famous word arambha as occurring on pp 228a, 237a etc has been misunderstood by Prof Deleu , it plainly means 'violence' (6) Prof Delcu's usual translation of the word vedana--a word of so Cruya iniportance for the karma doctrines extremely unhappy He translales it as 'perception' though on rare occassions (eg on p78) he also offers the proper translation 'experience' (7) The fmportant word ahara is translated by Prof Deleu as 'attraction of inatter ' As a matter of fact, ahara is just one special case of 'attraction of matter' - which phrase rather has pudgalagrahana for its Sanskrit equivaJent Share on Its part incans nutrition - wbich meaning Prof Deleu adopts only rarely (eg p 82) Of couse, these cagnot be the only cases where Prof Deleu has in all probability misuuderstood the original text But even an exhaustive catalogue of his errors of this nature will not detract much from the high value of his great study Page #291 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

It will also be clear from the discussion that is time passed on some of theso epithets acquired the status of name having lost their nato of adjectives The epithets, viz. Arthanta, Arhat, Buddha, llan, Vor, Mabevera and Tathagate were not the sole property of a loader of a particular Hot whether Brahmin or Sramana Bot it seems that they became popular amongst the Sramanic sects especially for Mahavira, Gourla and Buddha with the result that they were dropped by the Brahmin sects for their leaders. Similarly 1, Read At A, I Oriental Conference, Uljalo, 1972. Page #312 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Dalsukh Malvania the term Buddha (139, 177, 882, 204) was used for an intelligent person but after Gautama It became the sole property of Buddhism and became the special name of Gautama The term Buddha though used as epithet In early days for Mahavira does not denote him in later pcriod The terms, Vira and Mahavira were common for a heroic persons but we see that they have become the real names of Lord Vardhamana Thus in course of time the original name Vardhamana was thrown in background giving place to the terms Vira and Mahavira The terms Jina, Arbat were common for all the leaders of Sramanas and we see that the word Jaina was not the pro perty of the followers of Lord Mahavira alone It should be noted that the followers of Buddha were known for a long time as Jainas but now the case is not so and only the followers of Mahavira are denoted by the word Same is the case with the term Tathagata and now we see that only Lord Buddha is denoted by it 2 In this way the denotation of these words though broad in early daya has become limited in course of (ime In this context I shall try here to collect the various epithets given to Lord Mabavira in the earlier canonical literature of the Jainas Acaranga Part II As an ascetic The first part of the Acaranga can be sub-divided in two sections The chapters in the beginning giving the gist of the preaching is the one section and the last chapter giving the picture of the ascetic life of Lord Mabavira is the second section Let us see the epithets used in them for Lord Mahavira la his mendicant life Mahavira calls himself a 'Bhikkhu (9 2, 12) He is also called 'Nayaputta' and Nayamiya (9 1 10) indicating his clan but both of these terms have became his names also He is sometimes given an epithet 'mun (9 19, 20) which is generally used for an ordinary ascetic or monk That even the Sramanas were using the term 'Mahana'-(Brahmana) for their respected persons is welknown from the Dhammapada (26) of the Palt canon, as well as from the Uttaradhyayana (12) of the Jaina canon So it is but natural that Mahavira's one of the many epithets is Mahana (9 1 23, 9 2 16,93 14,9 4 17, 9 2 10,9 4 3) He is also called 'Nam (9 1 16) and 'Meha' (91 16) which indicate that he was not only a person of good character but was endowed with knowledge also He is again and again given an epithet 'Mahatra (9 1 13,9 3 8, 9 4 14, 9 2 1, 9 3, 13) for his valour shown with regard to his ascetic life And we see that it Page #313 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Epithets of Lord Mahavira in Early Jains Coor has become his real neme He is respectfully called 'Samaye Bhagan Oil) and the terms Bhegavam, Bhagavante, Bhagavaya Accute so many dima that we can casily surmise that during the period he had become very respectful person amongst many such ascetics (914, 15, 9 2 5, 6, IS, 9 3 12, 16, 9 4 1, 3, 5, 9 37, 94 9, 12, 91 23 9 2. 16 It is also mentioned that though he has a non-omnlclent person (Chaumatthe u 9 4 15 ) he was ahasi-without any deflement and was also olgazagehi-without any longing (9 4 15 ) From all these cpithets It is clear that though he is given u epitha Bhagavam yet he is not called here in this portion Tirthamkara And ** regards Bhagaw am we shouid note here that even in the second part later than this portion of the candon evea the ordinary samanas and the art called Bhagavanta (11 71, 162) Not only this but there wus & rule that an ascetic shouid address even an ordinary woman as 'Bhagaw' (II 134) This indicates that the term 'Bhagavam' was not used for a loader or the head of the sect, and though a term for showing respect it did not had the meaning of an exalted person As a preacher and head of a sect. Now we turn to the preaching portion contained to the first step toe chapter of the Actranga part I Here in many places the term Yurd" and Mahavira' are used but it should be noted that they do not refer to Lord Mabavira but to other persons who have showa the valour to their ascetic Jife (1 172, 1 185, 188, 1.140) We should also note that though whalke, we havo seco, describing Mahavira's ascetic life be is called Pond' wel as 'Mahavira', we must conclude that there is tendency towards the fact the Mahavira should become his naine This also is clearly established by the fact that Pali Pitakas mentions Mahgvira As Nigtatha Nata-petta and not as Mahavira So we can conclude that ford Mahavira bocome a moth by that name after the time of Pali Pitake In this part also Lord Mahavira is refered to as 'Ny putta (t. 2. 12). 'Mahanena maimaya (200,206), and Bhagaraya I, 10, 15, 16, 23, 43, 52, 54, 90, 185, 214, 216, 220) Once he is refered to as R o tarpit AMAT, THT (200) Here we see that he is called Alupraja and also baving nothing and damsana At other place he is called Kusala' (166) Bex bowbere be is refered to as a Tirthankara In Dighanikaya etc, though be given the epithet Tirthankara it is algoticant that in Acartaga's first part no where he is refered to as auch This may slgnify that this prouca of the harde is anterior to Dighanikaya Page #314 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Dalsukh Malvania Lord Mahavira in this part is called 'Muni' (153, 159) which put bim in the Uno with other such 'munis' Here we find the use of 'Arahanta Bhagavanta' (126) and Jinehin (55) which shows that there were many such persons who were called aruhanta or Jina and Lord Mahavira was one of them The epithet of "Araha' was also used for the Buddha and the use of this term was not absent in the Vedic literature But when this word was used frequently for their leaders by the Sramanas the word was dropped by the Vedics Like Mahana the term 'Veyavi' was also 10 vogue in ancieat days for the learned and so it is used in such a senso in the Acaringa (139) Such is also the case with the term Ania (146, 207, 179) 'Mahest' (160) and Medhavi (191) The term Vina' though used (162) in Acuranga part I it is surprising that it is not used with special reference to Lord Mahavira Sattha (188) though used only once for Mahavira 19 such that it was frequent for the Buddha To conclude, we can say that bere Muni, Mahana, Nayapufta, Vira, Nahavira and Bhagawath, these terms were the main epithets for Lord Mahavira, Bat we must bear in mind that here also the epithest Tirthankara is nol wed In Pall Pitaka, as we have seen, Lord Mahavira is refered to again and again by the terms savahtu and savvadassi but here in Acaranga we do not come across such terms, Instead, we find the terms such as abhinnayad ahsane 9 1 11), Ayayacakkhhi Logavipassi (3) paramacakkhu (150) alvilja (3 2 9), savvasamanndgayapannina (155), Anelisannant (9 1 16) Some of these terms may convey the meaning of Omniscience but it is significant that the proper term Savannu 18 not used We will see that this torm is frequent in later literature of the Jainas, so we may not be wrong if wo conclude that this term is introduced in the period later than the time of the Acaranga part I and this will show that the Acaranga part I is oarlier than the portions of Pali-Pitakas in which this term occurs for Mabavira Sutrakstanga Part-I In Sutraktyoga part I wo see further development Here we can have the common epithets like Samana and Mahana, but many more are added ind some of the early epithets have become names in this part of the Sutrakpanga In Acaranga Vira and Mahavira were simple epithets but in Page #315 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Epithets of Lord Mahapla in Early Jaina Canon Satraklanga they have become the names (111,1 1 27, 14 2 22: 1. 924, 1 14 11 ) For the first timo Mabavira is given an epithet of "iggantha' (1 14 11) which is found also 10 Pali-pitakas es Nigantha Mula putta Naya, Naya putte aod Nayasuye are also used in Sutrakpanga (1 1 27, 2 3 22, 2 3 31,6 14, 21, 23, 24, 26) Like Mahavira now be 18 Mahamuni (1924, 2 2 15, 2 1 14) Indicating his gotra Kasave is added in Su (2 2 7 2 2 25, 2 3 20,3 3 20, 34 21, 11 s. 32. 15 21.6 7) Showiog his relation to Vaisali be is also kaown as I esalia (2 3.22) The previous tradition of Nina, Araha and Bhagan 18 also continued (2 3 19, 2 3 22, 6 26,6 29, 2, 3 22, 16, 1, 2, 3 14) LA Sutrakrtadga it is quite clear that there was an order or the religion kaowa Al Jinasasana (3, 4 9) or Jinana Dhamma ( 67) or Bhagannussan (2 3 14), and we find the meation of Jingdayana (14 13) and Jurura ( 96). The torms Buddha and tathagata are also not absent (11 25.

Sutrakrtanga Part II By the authority of the Niryukti (6) on Aca Part II we are sure about the second part of Aciranga that it was added 10 later times But auch ia not the case with the second part of Sutrakitanga Yet we can say that the second part of Su is later, because even the epithets for Mahavira establish this fact Wo can prove this also that it 19 not an earlier text than even the second part of Aca Thero is no mention of twelvo angas' in the Aca but the Su, mentions the Ganipitaka (2 1 11) Io Su we find the mention of Dhamnalutha (2 1 8) and titthayara (2 7 11) The mention of 'Coyae pannanagarh evam vayasz' (2 3 2) and Icarya ahu' (2 4 2, 4) definitely go to prove its later date The traditional epithets such as Samana (2. 6 1) Mahana (2 6 4).

Even then some of the modern editors of Bbasa's Pratinayaugandharayana ignore the discusslon on the point and bliadly follow the opinion of Mm T Gajapati Sastri and Dr De without looking into the problem in greater detail or trying to arrive as nearer to troth as might be possible ia the present cir cumstances in the light of some frosh data revealod by further researches It should be noted here that since Dr Kane was touching this problem just in passlog in his survey of Bamaha's contribution to Sanskrit Poetics, he could not discuss the problem in greater detall for want of space, and confined bis discussion to the most important thing to be noted, viz., that Bb Isa's Udayana was accompanied by twenty foot-soldiers and hence could Dot be llable to belng criticized as 'ekakir' as bas been done by Bbamaba Let as first examine the polnts of the relevant incident criticized by Bhamaha Bhamaba here seeks to Illustrate the polots of the incident of Udayana's capture which are contrary to the prevalent politico-administratve code (nyaya-virodhi) Having first defined the term nyaya' as consisting of the Sastras that treat of threefold end of human endeavour (triyarga) and ako statecrafts, he further deilges nyaya birodh' as that which does not confirm to the above. In the opinion of Bhamaha, the points that contradict the codes of statecraft are the following (1) The king of the Vatsas, i c, Udayana, has beon depicted as dealrous of conquest and as farsighted as an aged person and hence wise In the semo breath he is described as being devold of sples The point of criticism , how can an ambitious statesman cager to subdue his enemy move near the enemy frontiers without adequate precautions of being accompanied by sples who could have gmelt the danger of the impending mischler (2) The ambush in the guise of an artificial elephant consisted of a hundred soldiers posted in it under the command of Salankayana How was 6.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page #341 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ DID CASTANA START THE SAKA ERA > Rasesh Jamindar There are many mooted problems which Indian history has had through Its course of time Many of these problems have fetched and are fetching the scholars, from time to time, into the battle of arguments and counterarguements Sometimes the new findings or discoveries, such as dated epigraphical records, coins etc, offer historians to change their views or help them to arrive at precise conclusions or assist to advocate quite a novel interpretation or come to their rescue to put forth a new theory Saka Era is one of such problems which have brought and are often bringing scholars across the table for hot discussions Many scholars, so far, have advocated different theories ruggesting different rulers responsible for starting this era This writer does not intend to mention, in this paper, all those theories that were and are current on the era under review and to subject them for a detailed examination There Is no such need of describing them all here as have been well discussed at great length by many scholars, particularly DR Bhandarkar1 and RD Benerji" But, even then, I think it is desirable to discuss few of those arguments for showing their limitations and make new propositions regarding this cre The theory that the king Vonones was the founder of the Saka era was firat propagated by Dr Bhagwanlal Indrajis, but later on he corrected himself and suggested that it was Nahapana, a Kshaharata Kahatrapa king of Western India, who started this era to commemorate his victory over Satakarni and as he was a feudatory of the Kusana king Kaniska that he named this era in honour of his overlord But this theory of Dr Bhagwanlal Indraji was based on insufficient Information and therefore It is not acceptable for the following reasons (1) It is quite obvious that Nahapana had not but was defeated by Satavahan king Gautamiputra Satakarni, so the question does not arise at all of commemorating any victory by Nahapana over Satakarni (2) The dates mentioned in the Nasik caves inscriptions of his times are but regnal years which were not continued by any of his successors (3) He was, la any case, not a viceroy of Kusana king Kanika but was an independent king as it is proved by this author (4) Kanlika was not of Saka origin Page #342 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Rasesh Jamindar as thought by Dr Indraji, 80 even if Nahapana wanted to honour hig overlord how can he justify himself by calling the era as Saka ? Dr DR Bhandarkar? also supported Dc Indraji that Vooones was the founder of the Saka era He established his thesis on the ground that neither Nahapana por Castana was the originator of the Saka era as they were vassals of Kaniska But bath these krogs were independent as stated above 8 Ho further argues "that unless the saka nationality of Kaniska is estab lished, all attempts to show that he was the founder of the Saka era mugt be futile", and so considers that Vonones started the said era But what has been argued for Kaniska can we got argue the same for Vonones that unless the Saka nationality of Vonones 18 proved, his arguements to show that Vonones was the 10augurator of the Sake era must be in vain ? Vonones was & Parthiano and therefore Dr Bhandarkar's theory 18 untenable Again it is quite obvious that Vonones flourished during the first century B C in Scistan So this again proves that in no circumstance he is congi dered to be the founder of the Saka era It was Fergussonde who first started the theory that Kaniska was the Inaugurator of the Saka era This view has been adopted by most scholars in the past and even today, but only be and Oldenberg bad given reasons in favour of their thesis, while others have simply followed them Fergusson's main source was numismatics He mostly depended on Roman coins of the Consular peciod (43 BC) which were found along with those of Kaniska in the Manikyal Tope This Topo was built by him shows that he flourished after that date 1 e 43 BC But even Ferguson did not say how many years after that date Kapiska lived Therefore, bus view falls to the ground He further took the help of coins of Kadpbises, Kaniska and Haviska found from Ahio Pose Tope near Jelalabad together with the Roman coins of Domitian, Trajan and the Empress Sabina Domitian and Trajan flourished during AD 81 to 96 and AD 98 to 117 respectively." while the Empress Sabina lived in the middle of the second century A D This shows that the erection of the Tope cannot be earlier than 120 A D 15 Thus this is also not acceptable According to Oldenberg's Kaniska was Sake He based his arguments upon the third word EAKA which occurs on the colag of Kaniska He mostly depended on Kaniska colds and then aasoned that he reigned about the close of the first century AD He also assumed that there was no other Indlan king at this time so famous and popular aa Kaniska And fipally he propagated that he was the founder of the Saka era It was Percy Gardener!4 wbo first published Kaplska's coin and read the third word as 'Saka', and on this ground Oldenborg advocated that Page #343 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Did Castana Start the sake Era? movere, Was the third case of a An ka was of that origlon But later on Cunnlogbama chrefy kladd the coin and arrived at the conclusion that the third word soust be Strab.

But the inaception recently diacovored from the same place offers the earliest date of Castana ie Saka 11 This shows that his reigo covered the period between suha 11 and 52, It may further be stated that this inscription does support the theory that Cistana was the real epoch-maker of the most mooted Era It is qalto possible that in future we may come across an inscription which perbape may offer still earlier date to support this theory In the end let me conclude with by saying that this is the most ample, most natural, most convincing and the most logical theory this anthor hne put forth before the world of scholars to consider and comment upon that the Castana was responsible to start this Saka Era in the present state of our knowledge References 1 JBBRAS, Vol xx, 1902, PP 2708 2 LA, 1908, pp 25ff 3 Bom Gaz Vol. xv, P 617 4 It was the general belief that the Kardamaku continued it, but the recent darcovery olan inscription from Andhau daproved thus bellef 5 Umeshamuhra Commemoratian Volume, 1970, pp 703 F 6 Kalhana's "Rijatarangin."

Dinanga objects to the Sarkhya's recognising five sense-organ for apprehending sounds, tangible objects, colours, tastes and odours and at the same time holding that every thing is constituted of three guna. 1, the Samkhya says, a sense does not take for its object those things that are to be apprehended by another sense, and so each sease works only on its abject, then the senses should be infinite, or just one sense-organ should office as the three gunas are the same everywhere The Sukhya tries to justify the dutinctions between sounds and other objects (tangibles etc) on the basis of the difference of the configuration of sattoa and other gunas A lengthy argument follows, the main stand of the Shkchya belog that there is approbrasion by the sense, ag. the vowel souse of ons and the same class (ja) of objects, og. colour, variously, in accor dance with the difference among the many configurations (of different loure, such as blue, yellow, etc.) Dings would say that he that ce, the conformity of a sense to only one configuration is not experienced.

And no one apprehends a souod as sukha, dukkha or moha, but not # sound in general possessing three characters. Dinnaga argues that the samo principle would hold for troglblar and other such objects That is to say, one would apprehend these obyects as sukha, duhkha or moha, not as tangibles, etc porsessing the three characters. Consequendy all kinds of objects would be appreheaded by the Mme som Therefore, this theory of Madhava is inappropriate Still, says Dias , POUR ita dethroning the view of the older Samkhyal, Madbara's doctrine of the possession by atoms of each its own nature is excellent Disor comoodus that the portion of bus theory, 18 which setting aside the view of the renowned older Samkhya teachers, Madhava explains that the destination (jati-oisesa) among the effects (1e sounds, tangibles etc.) resulta from the distinction among atoms possessing their respective nature, u erorteat. However, the doctrine that the three gunes form as aom which point only one quality is something Diapaga cannot accept. It seems that finding it difficult to explain the evolution froe Prush as admitted by the older Samkhya teachers (1e-08c, undtierentiated, and so on), some revolutionaries among the Sankhya fet secondary to modify the doctrine The atom-theory of the Vascyika a chuowledged to have been introduced into the Samkhya system of thought at the time of Vindbyavasin, and in his wake Mydhan tried to make the system periaat by removing glaring anomalies finendrabuddhl very pointedly ways that according to Kepila and others, the Oature of pleasure, etc. one everywhece, whereas according to Midhave, they are different everywhere "kapiladayo manyante sakhad a sorpresh sarrara ekam est; Mudhones tu sarpalra tani bhldyanta itt-Pranayasamuccayo, Pratyakra, 31 (Mytor Edition-HR Rangaswami Ayangar) Page #350 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 10 Esther & Solomon This can be clearly understood on the strength of the fore-going disCUSSION" Madhave recognised & plurality of atomic primordial entities (pradhanas)-this would mean a thorough change in the concepts of the Simkhya system, or even its anathilation, and so Madhava is regarded as Santhya-nataka, and hailed as such by others (b) Kumanla in his slokarartilka (Codang sutra, 249, pp 112-113, Madras Univ) criticises the view of a teacher who finds fault with the Mimgmsakas for advocating the slaughter of animals for sacrificial purposes Umbeka in his commentary on the Slakavarttika states that it 18 Madhava, * prominent Samkhya exponent who is referred to and criticised by Kumanla Keeping aside inference, etc Madhava proved the sinfulness of agnisomiya, dc only on the strength of the dependence of dharma (merit) and adharma demeclt) on jojunctions (vidhl) and probibitions (nusedha) 'Ma himsyat sarua bhufants' prohibits the slaughter of animals, which is therefore sinful irrespective of whether it is donc for a sacrifice or otherwise as this does not make any difference (Sarakhya-nayaka-Madhavas to aha-Vlkayanumanadin vidhi-pratisedhatoantbandhanatoam ea dharma dharmyor avalambya'gnisomiyadisi adharmatam tha kvacid iti flokatrayena ) c) Commenting on agamabhranbakarinan aho-purusikaya anyatha rocanasambhavar' of Dharmakirti's Pramanavarttika (p 595), Karnakagomin says that here Dharmakirti affirms the possibility of the sacred texts being violated and the tradition of the texts disrupted or distorted by persons on Account of their sense of cgo or the like they can distort the tradition of the sacred texts by composing differently As for example, "Samkhyanalake Madhava' composed the Samkhya-siddhanta' differently due to his cgo (Agamabhramba-karinam ity adina Sampradaya-vicchedena racanantarasambharam era samarthay ate; agamabhrama-karinam pursam anyatha piroq. racana-vaiparltyena racanadarlanad iti sambandhak, anyatha-racandyarh karajam aha-aho purusikayet) adi, ahopurusikayely ahammanitvena, yaiha Sankhyanafaka-Madhavena Samhhya-siddhantasya'nyatha racanam krtam) (d) In bts commentary, Vipancltartha op Dharmakoti's Vadanyaya, Santaraksta writes, "yad aha, dharmasya dravyad arthantaratvath syad itt, athapy asmad-vaiphalye syat purvakan Kapilan ati parya Samkhyanath fakeMadhavavar" (Vipancirartha, p 52, Mababodhi-sabba, Beoares, 1936 AC) 2 This exposition of Dunaga s criticism of Madhava's vlewu is wholly based on Dignaga, on Perception' (op 87-59, 188-157)-Masaala Hatton I gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness to this work.

(e) Refuting Satkaryavada, Bhasarvaja says to his auto-commentery Bhusana on the Nyayasgra that if the view of Madhava were to be accepted, the Samkhya doctrine would surely meet with destruction. If a novel attribute, 'manifestation' or some other, which was non-existent be created the reasons put forth, viz because what is non-existent otamot be produced', and the like, would be ineffectual reasons, and thes aatkaryavada not being proved, valivartipya etc. would not be proved, and so Pradhana, etc could not be established There is no for according this differential treatment of holding in the case of the effect, cloth or the like, that it could not be brought out if it not-existent, and it could not perish if it were existent, and at the etme time accepting that this is possible in the case of one of its attributes (viz. manifestation) (Madhava-matabhyupagame tu Sankhya-naia katham yadi hy abhivyaktir anyo va kaseid dharmo' sannera kriyata tasasadakaranad ity evamadayo'samartha hetabah syus tatah sakaryatida valtrarupyadyasiddhek pradhanadyasiddhir it, no ca tra hesap kebod yena paladikaryasyawasatah karaga sata mahanabad taddharmasya tu kasyacts sambhavaty evet-Nyayabana, p. 569. B, 1968) According to this, Madhava had no objection to airpaksi (manikatatlon) being regarded as a new attribute that is brought about by the act of production, but being a Samkhya he would not accept that the affect was not there in the cause even before its production. But by this the ones of qatkaryavada is actually marred We find a reference to a Samkhya 'doctor' Madhava in the description of the travels of Yuan Chwang in India, Madhava is said to have ved in Magadha in the vicinity of Gaya. He was very much honoured by all and had received vast stretches of land by way of gift. He was challenged by the Buddhist, Gupamati Bodhisattva for a debate and le said to have died on that very occasion. This debate was arranged by the then ruling king at the instance of Gunamati According to Yuan Chwang, Medhave was defeated in this debate and the king being impressed by the Buddhist's learning got a Sangharama constructed at the place where the traethe took place Now Gunamati of Valabht is said to be a pupil of Varabandhu, A contemporary of Sthiramatl, and teacher of Paramartha. Paramartha, a ative of Ujjaylor was a disciple of Gupama Paramterthe boome proficient 'In all branches of learning and probably settled down in Palipatra, At the request of the Chinese emperor, he was went to China Page #352 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Esther A Solomon lo 546 A D, where he stayed till his death in 569 AD Paramartha translated into Chinese ths Samkhya Karika with a commentary In the period 557-567 AD Thug sinco Paramartha's dato is 499-569 AD. Gunamatl can be said to have lived in the period 450-530 AD and Madbave was perhaps his senior contemporary Madbava can be sald to have lived in the fifth century, and been active in the latter half of it Gunamati is knowo to have written & commentary on the Abhidharmakosa, whereln be refuted the dualistic teaching of the Samkhya school as also the Madbyamika view of Bhavya (Bhavaviveka) There was a constant struggle for royal patronage in the times of the Guptas, right up to the times of Paru Gupta and Narasimha Gupta (-467 AD and later-) and It is understandable that Gunamali should have challenged Madhava to a debate. That Madbaya's ego was powerful can be seen from Yoan Chwang's Account also His last wish was that his wife should continue the debate with Gupamati and she too concealed by ber dress and the like the death of her husband, but the sbarp Gunamati detected it from her sad face and bitterness of speech even at the beginning In Madhava's own days bla fume was great and surpassed that of former teachers, and outwelghed all then living. The king honoured him exceedingly and named him the "treasure of the country' He hed as bis means of subsistence two towns in the district and the surrounding houses paid bim for the privilege of buildIng (tenant dues ?)" It ts no wonder that philosophers of other schools mention him with almost a sense of awe, and ibat Gunamati should have sought to Arrange a debate with him so that the interests of Buddhism in the kingdom phould not in any way suffer and the Samkhya school should fall from the high position it occupied in the eyes of the kings and learned circles 9 Prof Hatton too arriver, in a slightly different way at the following date Dagniga - 470 - 630 A D (Hattorl) -480-540 A, D (Frauwallner) Gunamati - contemporary of Dignaga Midhaya, saya Prof Hattori, was not alive when Dignaga composed tha Pramanasomurcaya, ha last work (See Dignega on Perception', Introduction, pp 4-6-Hattori) According to Frauwallber, the debate between Madhava and Gunampati took place in about 500 A D 4 See 'Travels of Houen Thsang', Vol III, PP 936-340-Samuel Beal (Susil Gupta Ltd., Oculta 12.

N Upadhye his spared do pains to present the text with his usual thoroughness There are, however, a few readings open to doubt where we propos de tres for the kind consideration of the learned editor and the world of wholun Interested in Prakrit studies. (1) Kuvalayamala p 16, 1 23, refers to pharmede Thu Noon to be subject of study and practice as a teacher thereof is found to have adprzed B royal court along with adepts in other Sastral. But the pression photo wedda does bot occurg lo any other known Prakrit wock war la lot 18 available in Sanskrit The kuralayamala again refers to pharethedis a p 150, 1 22 Here the expression means the art of fighting with a shield (and sword), Phara in the sense of phalaka (shield) has gole beet wada p. 252, 1 28. We may therefore suggest that pherakhodla wm the Kapron Intonded by the author and phat redda is a scribed mistaka. (2) Whfle describlog e wicked man through the mouth of bir friend the Kuvalayamala presents the following verse kastno plagalagayano madoho wacoatthalammi erogat qimmamsuo ya vayane erisao malha Darmiso # Hero vacchatthalanimi progo seems to give mo satufactory sue. The foot note shows that there is nllllmo, en alternative reading la one of the mu.
