Foreword It gives me much delight to get this occasion of writing a short foreword to the present edition of Ratnas'ekharasuri's Sirisirivalakaha undertaken by my pupil Vadilal Jivabhai Chokshi. B. A. (Hons). I was eagerly waiting for such an occasion for a long time ever since I began teaching Ardha-Magadhi in the Gujarat College in 1923. Mr. Chokshi has made a very appropriate selection as the book is one of the most important books in the story literature in Ardha-Magaahi of the Jainas, and if the present edition receives a warm. reception at the hands of the college-students and the general public, as it is expeoted to do, not only the editor will look upon his efforts as amply rewarded, but the students and scholars will get a sort of confidence and stimulus to do vigorous critical and original work in Ardha-Magadhi which is a keen necessity of the day on account of several reasons. The Yas'ovijayji Jaina Granthamala, the Agamodaya Samiti, the Atmananda Jaina Sabha, the Sanatana Jaina Granthamala, the Arhatamataprabhakara Karyalaya and many other institutions have done and are doing an invaluable service to the spread and popularity of the Jaina Literature and Philosophy in Ardha-magadhi and Sanskrit. The editions brought out by these institutions have generally been authorita

Foreword tive, correct and reliable. They have been, no doubt, of considerable help to scholars and students trained in the modern western methods of criticism and scholarship who by the use of these editions get their ground prepared for doing further work of exploring the vast field and doing research-work therein. The number of Jaina students and scholars trained in the western method is gradually increasing and side by side with it, it is natural that the appetite for critical apparatus should also be on the increase. Editions based on a critical examination of the Manuscript-material available and furnished with scholarly and critical notes and introduction are expected to quench the appetite, and it is no doubt a welcome feature that people have turned their attention now in that direction. The present volume will have, I hope, its second edition more critical and scholarly as the editor expresses it in the preface, and it will be quite justified and reasonable on my part to expect a school of critical editors opened by Mr. Cbokshi and his circle of friends in Ahmedabad doing a great service to the Sacred Literature of the Jainas in the modern critical way.

Preface. A word of explanation is necessary for undertaking the present edition of Ratnas'ekharasuri's Sirisirivalakaha. It is prescribed by the University of Bombay as a text-book in ArdhaMagadhi for the First Year Arts examination. The whole of the book contains 1342 stanzas in all, but in the present volume there are edited only the first 400 stanzas, which form the portion prescribed for the F. Y, A. Examination of 1933. The idea of editing this book was entertained by me at the suggestion of my revered prof. K. V. Abhyankar, under whom I passed the two most important and golden years of my college career, to whom I owe all my learning and scholarship, and who has always borne towards me fatherly love and affection by giving me invaluable help and instructions from time to time. It was under him that I learnt the most invaluable lessons of life. The most important qualities in him that attracted me most were his sincerity, fatherly affection towards his pupils, simplicity of life,

Page #8
Preface and the capacity to take infinite pains which is, as somebody has said, 'the first and the most important quality in a genius'. In him I have found an ideal Professor who has always seen his welfare in the welfare of his students a very high ideal which only few Professors can achieve. Hence it is that I take this opportunity, in this short preface, of paying my homage to my worthy Guru by bending down my head to him in veneration. But the less said the better. Therefore, apart from this digression which can not be helped, I shall come to the subject proper. Although I entertained the idea of editing this book long ago, I was not able to commence the work soon on account of various distractions and difficulties. It was, however, a few months before, that I began the work in right earnest. The chief aim with which I undertook the work was to enable the University students to get copies of it, there being very few copies of it ( published some years ago by the Agamodaya Samiti : Surat ) available in the market. Another consideration which goaded me to do the work was the wide spread popularity and importance of the book in the Jaina world, and the unparalleled greatness of the subject with which it

Page #9
Preface deals. It discusses the topio of the Navapada by giving us in beautiful, lucid, and simple Prakrit verse, the life-story of king Shripala and his queen Mayanasundari, which the Jainas always cherish in their hearts, especially in the days of the Ayambila Oil Festivals, and which has enabled the Jainas for ages to-gether to accomplish their spiritual welfare. It is the story of king Shripala that has created a very high respect for the Navapada in the minds of the people; and it is the same story that has purged the hearts of many of their several impurities by exhorting them to practise the Ayambila penance with great fondness and delight giving up all attachment to sweetness and taste. There was a third consideration also viz. to make this book usoful to persons interested in the study of Ardha-Magadhi and the Jaina Literature. It is with these considerations in view that the work of editing this volume has been undertaken. The text has been based mainly upon the printed text of the Agamodaya Samiti edition, which is the most trustworthy being editod by the reverend Jaina Aoharya Shree Sagaranandasurishwarji who has earned for himself the title of * Agamoddharaka ' by his editing almost all the Agamas of the Jainas and many

Preface other important books which would hardly have been possible without his great learning and scholarship. On account of want of time at my disposal and various other considerations I have not been able to go through the various Manuscripts which are available at some Bhandaras' and * Upas'hrayas'. However, I intend to do this at a later date. But in this volume I have given an exhaustive introduction, having collected all available and useful information about the author, his works, his date, his Gachchha, his predecessors and his pupils etc. I have traced the origin of the story literature of the Jainas and have explained the purpose etc. of the author in writing it. For the benefit of the students I have given also a brief summary of the portion prescribed from the story, and at the end of the introduction I have instituted a comparison between Sirivalakaha and Kummaputta so that the students might have & comparative study of the two books. Over and above the introduction I have given a word for word English translation of the text, and full explanatory, critical, and grammatical notes in English--which is a special feature of this book. One more special feature is the illustration of the Siddhachakra or the Navapada

Here I must also express my gratefulness to Sjt. Mohanlal Dalichand Desai, B.A.L.L.B. Advocate who has. furnished me with some valuable information about the author, his works, and predecessors etc. My thanks are also due to Divanbabadur K.H. Dhruva who helped me in understanding the metres that are discussed at the end of the introduction. For purposes of translation and notes there was taken at several places the help of the ef (i. e. the commentary) published in the Agamodaya Samiti Edition, the name of its author being not definitely known. In his * Upodghata' in the Agamodaya Samiti Edition, however, the reverend Acharya Sagaranandasuriji says that there is a belief that the staf is written by Shree Kshmakalyanaka ("A STAT u faffeafa cena:").' Some help has also been received for certain explanations and notes from some Jaina Sadhus and friends. My thanks are also due to Messrs. B. G. Parekh, S. A. Kapadia and Sarabhai Nawab who helped me in making fair copies of my original notes and transa

Preface lation, in examining proofs, and in procuring certain books of reference, which rendered me an invaluable help in making the book ready in time, I am also thankful to the Jaina journalist Chimanlal Nathalal Shah alias Shreekanta who is the manager of the Vira S'asana Printing Press which is under the patronship of the Virasamaj the well-known Jaina institution of Ahmedabad, for doing the work of printing quickly and efficiently. I should also say, before closing this preface, that in spite of all the care being taken there might have remained some mistakes for which the readers would, I hope, forgive the editor and correct them sympathetically. In the end let me say that my labour will be fully rewarded, if the readers are enabled to understand, grasp and appreciate the story with the help of the introduction, translation and notes and are inspired to cherish in their hearts great love and adoration for the Desire-yielding Tree-Kalpataru of the 'Navapada'.

Introduction 1. The story of Shripala occupies a very The importance important and prominent place of the story in the Story Literature of the Jainas. It is looked upon with such great reverence and sacredness by them that it has become enshrined in the hearts of all the Jainas-young and old, from very ancient times. Its popularity and greatness can be seen from the zeal and devotion with which they read-in the days of the Ayambila Olis--and try nslate into action the useful spiritual lessons which they learn from the Rasa of King Shripala or Shripala Charitra, composed by the great Upadhyayas Vinayavijayaji & Yas'ovijayaji and based on our author Ratnas'ekharasuri's Sirisirivalakaha, the very text that is edited in this volume. Its greatnees can also be seen from the fact that our author puts it in the mouth of the Great Sage Gautamaswami, the first Ganadhara of Lord Mabavira, who reveals it to the well known Jaina King Sbrenika who was an ardent adherent of Jainism. This is done, evidently not only to create an atmosphere of antiquity

Page #14
Introduction round the story, but to convey home to the readers the supreme greatness and importance of the topic with which it deals, implying that even such a great sage as Gutamaswami himself testified to it by emphasizing it to his devout follower king Shrenika. 2. But what is that great topic which makes The topic of the story also so great? It is the Navapada the Navapada the most sacred and significant expression in Jainism, which gives in brief the sum and substance of the whole of the Jaina Religion. It connotes the nine most important Padas or Dignities in Jainism consisting of Panchaparameshthi (the Five High Souls)--viz. the Arihanta (or the Tirthankara or the Jina.), the Siddha, the Acharya, the Upadhyaya and the Sadhu--and the Four-fold. Religion consisting of ARTIESTA, ETTEA, TETIT and a i. e. Right Faith, Right Knowledge, Right Character and Penance. ( All these Nine Dignities are fully explained in notes on St 1.) The Panchaparameshth i are regarded as the gardiens (i. e. the establishers or founders ), the 168 (i, e. governers ) and Tan 8 (i. e. the propagators) of the various doctrines and principles of Jainism such as the Jivavichara, the Nine Tattvas, the Karma

Introduction Theory and the well-known Syadvada of the Jainas etc. which create in the hearts of the people & love for the Four-fold Religion mentioned above. The Arihantas are the gardens, the Acharyas are the sia 1648 and the Sadhus are the Gars. Cultivating a true and firm Faith (net) in the Nine Dignities by understanding them properly by studying their gunas or qualities etc. is an indispensable thing to those who want to attain Perfection and reach Liberation. Once a firm Faith is created in them and in the words and scriptures propounded by them, the * jiva' obtains what is known as Bodhibija or Samyaktva i. e. Enlightenment. It is said in the नवतत्वप्रकरण verses 51, 52:"जीवाइनवपयत्थे, जो जाणइ तस्स होइ सम्म / भावेण सहहंतो, अयाणमाणेऽवि सम्मत्तं // सव्वाइं जिणेसरभोसियां वयणाई नन्नहा हुँति / इइ बुद्धी जस्समणे, सम्मत्वं निच्चलं तस्स // " 3. To enable and help the people of this world The three main in obtaining this Samyaktva classes of the me or Bodhibija, thus making it easy for them to traverse the path of spiritual welfare without any hindrance and reach Liberation was one of the most important things that the Jaina Teachers or Acharyas of old wanted to accomplish. For achieving this purpose, they

Id#rodaction thought it necessary to adopt different methods of imparting knowledge to different *jivas' or souls according to their capacities of grasping and understanding things. Hence they divided the souls into three main classes viz. श्रद्धानुसारी or those who put complete faith in their pro ceptors and their proachings and always act according to their advice, (2) Cere or those who put faith in their preceptors and their preachings after giving a full scope to their powers of reflection and reasoning, and (3) arrangert or those who come to acquire Faith by reading stories and lives of great persons. We find even to-day that all the souls of the world fall under one or the other of these three main classes. 4. As for the Shraddhanusaris, the Acharyas. : had no anxiety, for they always rigin of the have an inborn belief in the story literature of the Jainas. Nine Dignities etc. As for the Tarkanusaris, they (i. e, the Aobaryas) have always paid proper attention to them for whom they have composed important Sutras and various other religious books which expound the principles of fundamental truth and discuss the questions whioh enable the soul to understand the true nature of this

Intrnduotion worldy life, the greatness of Ahisma Dharma ( non-injury to any of the six kinds of living organisms) consisting of renunciation and asceticism; the nature of Karma which binds the soul and makes it wander in this miserable wordly existence, and the way in which its complete Destruction can be brought about-thus enabling the soul to yet itself completely released from the bondage of Karma and reach Final Beatitude. Fully understanding and foi lowing these principles, the l'arkanusaris are enabled to accomplish their spiritual welfare. They are thus the most intelligent and best of the 'jivas,' if a firm Faith be cultivated in them, and that is the reason why even to-day we find that th@ Jaina Preachers-Sadhus always give a due importance to them in the first half of their daily sermons in which they propound the principles expounded by the Acharyas of old. Their number is, however, greatly limited the Shraddhanusaris being met with in the world in a greater number than the Tarkanusaris. But the number of the Charitanusaris is still greater, because the vast majority of humanity are always guided in their actions by hearing and reading stories and lives of great persons whose examples they always follow. Bearing this 2 .

Page #18
Introduotiori in mind and wishing to do good to the vast majority of humanity at large, the Jaina Acharyas of old attached greater importance to them and adopted the method of writing stories and lives of great persons which they call charitas, kathas, or kathannkas, and akhyanas etc. and to-day also we find that the Jaina Sadhus reserve the latter half of their sermons for telling such stories or kathanakas composed by the Acharyas of old and in expounding them in order to impart religious teaching and knowledge to the common mass at large who hear the stories with great attention and interest. The voluminous Story Literature that the Acharyas of old have produced is rich both in literary and didactio qualities, & special feature of which is the high emotions and sentiments with which they are laden and the infallibility of their appeal to the hearts of the readers 5. As we have said in the beginning Ratna : s'ekharasuri's Sirisirivalakaba or The place of Si- rivalakaha in Alkhavana, as it is called by Akkhayana, as it is called by the story litera. Gautamaswami, occupies a very ture of the Jainas. important and prominent place Jainas. There are, no doubt, many other

Page #19
Introduotion equally important kathas in Jainism such as the Story of Varadatta and unamanjari, the Story of Abhayakumara, the Story of Ilachiputra, the Story of Kurmaputra etc., but this is in a way 'a pet story of the Jainas '. It is because of the greatness of the topic with which it deals. As the poet hiinself says, through the mouth of Gautamaswami who says to king Shrenika to whom he reveals the story, in Verse 36: "तो भणइ मुणी निसुणुसु, नरवर ! अक्खाणयं इमं रम्म / सिरिसिद्धचकमाहप्पसुंदरं परमचुजकरं // " " Then the sage said :-oh, king I hear this beautiful story which is charming on account of the greatness of the Siddhchakra, and which excites great wonder (in our hearts )." The greatness and importance of the story is also due to the literary and didactic qualities which it possesses. 6. The purpose of the author in writing the story is the same as exAuthor's purpose pounded before viz. to convey in writing ihe story. home to the readers the great ness and importance of the Navapada or the Siddhachara and we are to

Page #20
Introduotion study it in the same light. The author himself reveals his purpose of writing the story in the very first verse of the book where he ways:"अरिहाइनवपयाई, झाइत्ता हिअयकमलमज्झमि / सिरिसिद्धचक्कमाहप्पमुत्तमं किंपि जंपेमि // " Having contemplated in the lotus-like heart the Nine Dignities such as the Arhat etc., I shull speak a little about the most ele-- vated greatness of the Siddhachakra ( or The Circle of the Sacred Ones ).". While seading the story it also appears that the author wants. to lay a greater stress on Bhava or extremely pure mental condition and Ayambila Penance. A stress has also been laid on the effect of Karma also. Moreover, by writing this story the author wants to show the superiority of the Jaina Religion over the Saiva and other religions, just as the Mahabbarata stories show the superiority of the Brahmanic Religion over other religions. 7. The greatness of the Navapada has been emphasized in striking words. The greatness of by Gautamaswami, the narrator the Ναυαραλα. of the story himself in verses 16 to 34 which are briefly summarized

Page #21
Introduction on pages 30 and 40 of the notes. It is again further emphasized by the Sage Munichanda before King Shripala and bis queen Madanasundari in Sts. 190 to 194, 206 to 225 and 238 to 242. What does he say ? * He says that the propitiation of the Siddhachakra formed by the Nine Dignities is the only faultless and sinless remedy for removing all the pains, miseries and diseases of this world. It is the root-cause of all our happiness of this as well as the next world. In short, it is the One Supreme Thing which constitutes the very essence of the whole of the Jaina Religion. As the author says in St. 192: "एएहिं नवपएहिं, रहिअं अन्नं न अत्थि परमत्थं / एएसुच्चिअ जिणसासणस्स सव्वस्त अवयारो // " / Hence it is due to the power of the propitiation of the Navapada that many a soul were enabled to be emancipated in the past, are enabled at present and will be enabled to be so in future, and thus obtain the lordship of all the three worlds by their attaining to the position of a Tirthankara or a Siddha. The Navapada is thus a Desire-yielding Tree which fulfils the desires of the minds of those who propitiate it. It is said to be the very

Page #22
lo Introduction eggence of the Tenth Parva called Vidyanuvada and it has the power, if it is well propitiated, to enable us to accomplish the eight great Siddhis or supernatural powers such as Anima (or the power of becoming as small as an atom ), Laghima (or the power of assuming excessive lightness at will etc.). He who propitiates it with pure meditation accompanied with penance accomplishes large destruction of Karma. But there is no wonder, says . the poet, that by the propitiation of the Siddhachakra all the great Siddhis etc. are accomplished, because by worshipping it is obtained even Moksha or Final Beatitude. Hence it is that the poet says in verse 210 : एयं च परमतत्तं परमरहस्सं च परममंतं च / prej tchui, The Chyfare a * This ( i. e. the Siddhachakra has been declared by the Tirthankaras ( lit. Supreme Beings ) to be the Greatest Truth (Tattva) the Greatest Secret, the Greatest Spell the Greatest Thing and the Greatest Pada.' But stop and reflect. Can each and every kind of man propitiate the Siddhachakra and achieve all these things ? 'No', says the poot. Only that man can do so who is possessed of forgiveness, kelf-control and freedom from pabbions. He

Page #23
Introduetion : 11 alone can become the worshipper of the Siddachakra, while a man who is possessed of opposite qualities becomes its insultor or Viradhaka as he is called. Hence he who wants to be a true worshipper of the Siddhachakra, whether a monk or & householder, should make his mind totally free from passions and should obserye pure celibacy and character, because he who worships it with an impure mind, though its propitiator, instead of bringing to himself his desired object and happiness, undoubtedly brings him misfortune. But if a person propitiates it with a pure mind and if any wicked person thinks of doing anything wrong to him, that wicked person, instead of doing so, brings wrony to himself. Hence a person wishing to do good to himself should worship the Siddhnchakra with a pure and delightful mind, keeping pure celibacy together with practising the penance of Ayambila fasts and observing proper religious rites. If he will do so with a pure mental condition, he will get all the prosperities even of gods and excellent human beings. Even formidable diseases such as indigestion, consumption, fever, fistula, gout, will never come to him and if they have come to him before he propitiated the Siddhachakra, they

Page #24
12 Introduotion will at once be destroyed. Moreover, by worshipping the Siddhachakra he will suffer no misfortune such as slavery, servitude, 'having no art, having impaired or defective organs of sense, blindness, a degraded body, & degraded family etc. In the case of a woman the misfortune of being not iked by her husband, being a poison maid, a whore, a widow, a barren woman, a woman bearing a dead child etc. will never come to her. In short such is the greatness of the Navapada or the Siddhachakra that by worshipping it the 'jivas' are always able to fulfil the desired objects of their minds, and there is no doubt about that. Again such is the greatness of the Navapada, says the poet further, that by its propitiation all the evils such as wicked planets, demons, ghosts and witches etc. of those high souls who are possessed of a pure mental condition, disappear at once. Moreover, by the propitiation of the Navapada all the dangers from water, fire, serpents, and beasts of prey; the pains from poison and calamities such as excessive rain, drought etc. and diseases such as plague etc. which bring death to the bipeds and quadrupeds all these do not remain in the world. Moreover, even barren women get

Introduction 13 Da sons, even the children of nindus (i.e. wo men bearing dead children) beoome alive and play with joy, the defects of the stomach disappear and all other kinds of misfortune perish. Thus such is the elevated greatness of the Siddhachakra or Navapada upon which the author has based his whole story. 8. As regards the author, it is a matter of great pleasure that we have The author, his not to take the special trouble of going to any external Gachchha, predecessors source for information about and pupils etc. his namo or date as is often the case with regard to many Sanskrit poets like Kalidasa and others. The author himself has given us definite information about his name and date etc. in Sts. 1340, 1341, where he says :" सिरिवजसेणगणहरपट्टपहूहेमतिलयसूरीणं / सोसेहिं रयणसेहरसूरीहिं इमा हु संकलिया // तस्सीसहेमचंदेण साहुणा विक्कमस्स वरिसंमि / चउदसअट्ठावीसे लिहिया गुरुभत्तिकलिएणं // From this internal evidence we come to know that the name of the author is Ratnas'ekharasuri and that he flourished in the fourteenth century A. D., as it is stated that

Page #26
Introduotion he composed Sirivalakaha in Samvat 1428 i.e. 1362 A. D. Moreover, Ratnassekhara here states himself as the pupil of Vajrasena and Hematilaka and as we shall see later on, it is clearly stated he last verse of our author's Turfy G AT: Thafa that Ratnas'ekhara was the pupil of Vajrasena and a successor of Hematilaku who was the Pattadhara-successor of Vajrasena. Our author bere calls himself the pupil of both Vajrasena and Hematilaka only in order to show his respect for the latter, but as a matter of fact, he was the pupil of Vajrasena and a successor of Hematilaka. [ The compound सरिवजसेणगणहरपट्टपहूहेमतिलयसूरीणं is solved by the commentator of Sirivalakaba as follows:"श्री वज्रसेनगणधराणां-श्रीवज्रसेनसूरीणां पट्टस्य-प्रभवस्वामिनो ये हेमतिलकसूरयस्तेषां (शिष्यैः श्रीरत्नशेखर effa: ) "; thus making Ratnas'ekharasuri the pupil of Hematilakasuri. But from the facts stated above, this appears to be a wrong solution. The correct way of solving the compound is :-*f asrama (TRY) TET-hfacang aeth i. e. at: (forset: xft Topteceff:)-and this solution is quite in keeping with the explanation given above. ]

Page #27
15. Introduction From this internal evidence, we also come to know that he had & pupil named Hemachandra. This much is the important information that we get from our text. There are many other external sources also from which we got some more useful and more definite information. In his work गुरुगुणषट्त्रिंशिकावृत्ति, * our author Ratnas'ekharasuri gives his granfeat as under:" श्रीमद् बृहद्गच्छपयोजहंसः। . समस्तवादीन्द्रशिरोवतंसः / प्रज्ञापराभूत सुरेन्द्रसूरि / जर्जीयाज्जगत्यां गुरुदेवसूरिः // 1 // तद्गच्छे स्वच्छमनाः समजनि जयशेखरो गुरुःश्रीमान् / तत्पट्टगगनभानुः सूरिः श्रीवज्रसेनाह्वः // 2 // तत्पट्टनायकाः श्रीहेमतिलकसूरयस्तदादेशात् / श्रीरत्नशेखराख्यः, शिष्यो लिखति स्म विवृतिमिमाम् // 3 // Here the मूलपुरुष-देवसूरि i.e. वादिदेवसूरि is mentioned, and the Gachchha is stated to be the बृहद्गच्छ. As for the Brhad Gachchha some explanation is necessary. It is a Sakha or branch of the Mala Tapagachchha and takes its origin from the famous Vadi Dovasuri who defeated * His works are discussed on P. 23. of the introduction.

16 Introduction the Digambara disputant by name Kumudachandra in the royal council of Siddharaja Jayasinha of Gujarat in Samvat 1181. He was the pupil of Munichandra the 40eth Pattadhara of the Mula Tapagachchha. He was born in Samvat 1143, took Diksha in 1152, became Acharya in 1174 and died in 1226. He composed & book called Syadvadaratnakara which gave birth to agrafatestarrat * or LE1083 which got its name from the big number of 24 Acharyas that were instituted by Vadi Devasuri. He also converted 35000 families to Jainism and enlightened King Albadana of Nagpur. From all this, his great glory also, his aglalaecialet came to be known as Brhad Gachchha. Thus the author gives his Gachchha to be le 583 which later on came to be known as Nagapuriya or Nagori Tapa Gachchha. The connection between these two Gachchhas can be understood from the following version. + Cf. Prabha vakacharitra 21. 95. : "argielaist net gforarladt stigat aliquiori at aircufaefenti * For their names see Sjt. Mohanlal Dalichand Desai's Gujarati work " Jaina Gurjara Poets " Part II P. 757.

17 Introduction Padmaprabhasuri, the pupil and successor of Vadi Devashri, with the Permission of his preceptor went to the city of Nagor in Samvut 1177and practised hard and difficult penance there and having preached religion to Alhadana, the king of that city, made him a Jaina and the king being pleased gave him the name ' Nagapuriya Tapa Shree Padmaprabhasuri.' But though he was given this name by the king, no Nagapuriya Tapa Gachchha as such came into existence in the time of Vadi Devasuri. It was later in the time of Parshvachandrasuri in the 16th century that be (i. e. Parshvachandrasuri ) described himself to be the successor in the list of the Brhad Gachchha Pattavali and his Gachchha was popularly called Payachanda Gachchha while those Gachchhavalas give their Gachchha's name to be Nagapuriya ( coming, as we have seen, from Nagpur--Nagor of Marwad ) Tapa Gachchha. This fact is corroborated by the following lines of Chandrakirtisuri, who belonged to the same Gachchha of Parshyachandrasuri mentione before, which are taken from the fanfeet of his commentary on Rajas'ekharasuri's Prakrit Chhanda Kos'a:“वर्षेः चतुः सप्ततियुक्तरुद्रशतै 1174 रतीतैरथ विक्रमार्कात् / वादीन्द्रमुख्यो गुरुदेवसूरिः सूरीश्चतुर्विंशतिमभ्यर्षिचत् //

As regards the Guru-preceptor and other predecessors of Ratnas'ek harasuri w@ have already got some information from the TFETS of his works Sirisirivalakahi and गुरुगुणट्त्रिंशिकाafa already quoted hefore where he describes himself as the pupil of Vajrasenasuri and he became a successor of Hematilakasuri who who became Acharya in Samivat 1354, as can be seen from the following genealogy quoted from the book "TASIMECRET TITToegaft tert' (published by Shree Jaina Yuvaka Mandal Office & Library, Shamala's Pole, Ahmedabad). 40.

Ratnas'ekharasuri That our author Ratnas'ekharasuli, the 48th Pattadhara in the Nagapuriya TapaGachchha Pattarali was the pupil of Vajrasenasuri, and that he became a successor of Hematilakastiri becomes much more definite from the following 3 passages taken from his own works संबोहसत्तरि (संबोधसप्तत्ति), गुणस्थाणकक्रमारोह and लघुक्षेत्रसमासस्वोपज्ञवृत्ति respectively. (1) The last gatha of HEART is : " संवेगमणो संबोहसत्तरि जो पढेइ भवजीओ। सिरिजयसेहरठाणं सो लहई नत्थि संदेहो // " The name जयसेहर (जयशेखर) mentioned here, refers to perstare also and one may be led to think that he (i. e. fustaceft) was the author of संबोहसत्तरि. But one अमरकीर्तिसूरि while. commenting on this gatha says:

Hence जयशेखर was गुरु but in fact was प्रगुरु (गुरु' गुरु), because in the प्रशस्तिs of सिरिवालकहा, गुणस्थानकक्रमारोहसवृत्ति, गुरुगुणषट्त्रिंशिका, ( see p. 24 ) the author clearly refers to वज्रसेन as his गुरु. (2) In गुणस्थानकक्रमारोहसवृत्ति the last verse is: " इत्युद्धृतो गुणस्थानरत्नराशिः श्रुतार्णवात् / ___पूर्वर्षिसूक्तिनावैव रत्नशेखरसूरिभिः // 135 // Here रत्नशेखरसूरि's name is merely given but further particulars are given in his own commentary thereon as under : कैरुद्धृतः ?- रत्नशेखरसूरिभिः-बृहदगच्छीयश्रीवज्रसेनसूरिशिष्यैः श्री हेमतिलकसूरिपट्टप्रतिष्ठितैः श्रीरत्नशेखरसूरिभिः स्वपरोपकाराय प्रकरणसूपतया प्रकटितइत्यर्थः // 135 // Here रत्नशेखरसूरि definitely refers to himself as the pupil of a theft and a successor of हेमतिलकसूरि who was the Pattadhara-successor of वज्रसेनसूरि.

He started at an auspicious moment, wandered at various places and after some time came to a forest where underneath a beautiful Champaka tree he saw & certain Sadhaka and helped him in accomplishing the Vidya given to him by his preceptor. In return that Sadhaka gave him two medicinal kerbis Jalatarini and Paras'athhanivarini-one which enabled a man to go safely through water, ana one which enabled a man to evade the weapons of the enemy respectively. Then the Sadhaka took him to the declivity of a mountain where he helped certain mineralogists in accomplishing the gold-producing liquid. They thanked him much and offered him gold, and though he was indifferent to tho taking of it, they tied some of it to the skirt of his garment. Then the prince moving through various places gradually came to the city of Broach where

Introduction he bought clothes, ornaments and weapons eto. by selling that gold. Now in the city of Kosambi there lived a very rich merchant named Dhavala who had come to the city of Broach accompanied by merchants and even though he made a very big profit there he was intent upon going to a distant shore on account of the covetousness of wealth, and therefore, for that purpose he made ready 400 ships. Then in an aus picious moment Dhavale embarked on those ships but they did dot move in spite of the sailors' trying to do so. Then Dhavala got down, went into the city and asked a sikottari (a female evil spirit) the reason of the ships' not moving and he was told that they were stopped by a god and would move only if a man possessed of thirty two auspicious marks on the body were given in oblation to that god. Dhavala having satisfied the king of Broach with presents etc. took permission from him for catching hold of such a man. The king allowed him to do so on a condition that such a man must be a foreigner and most be helpless (i. e. without a guardian etc). Obtaining his men to find out such a man, who after a

They tried to do so but on hearing the roaring noise prduced by the prince, they ran away. The army sent by the king, being impelled by Dhayala, was also defeated by the prince in no time. Here ends the portion edited in this volume 16. The form and style of the story are like those of epic poetry and remind Form, style and us of Mahabharata and such author of Sirivalakaha compa- other stories. Its diction is sired with thosem ple, lucid and easy to grasp, of Kummaontta, and adds to the beauty of the .: story. The author has woven his story in such a beautiful and charming manner that the interest of the reader is sustained throughout from beginning upto the end. The language that he has used in composing most of his verses is simple and reminds us of the verses of Anantahansa's Kummaputta. However, the excellent literary and didactic qualities which Ratnas'ekhara's Sirivalakaha possesses are not to be met with in Kummaputta. Though the verses are simple and easy

Us 40 Introduction in both, yet the richness of imagination, thought and expression which are found in Sirivalakaha are rarely to be seen in Kummaputta, quantity, whereas it is not so in the case of Kummaputta which lacks, more or less, in both. Moreover, the author of Kummaputta does not appear to be so great a scholar and a voluminous writer as the autbor of Sirivalakaha. In originality also Ratnas'ekhara far more surpasses Anantahansa, for so far as it is known upto now Sirivalakaba appears to be the original composition of Ratnas'ekhara, whereas Anantahansa has borrowed his story from S'ubhavardhana's version of Kummaputta which is a commentary in Sanskrit on the original source Rsimandala of Dharmaghosa ( St. 125 ). A comparison of other works composed by both also leads us to the same conclusion that the author of Sirivalakaha is far more original, Kummaputta. The literary and kharasuri are also seen from the special features various literary and special feam of Sirivalakha which are tures that are found in Siri. absent in valakaha itself. They are as Kummaputta. follows.

Introduction 41 ... . JEIL.at (12 in it the author has made a very happy BY and successful use our was made a moringa happy of various Alankaras or figures of speech such as व्यतिरेक (St. '32 ), उत्प्रेक्षा ( Sts. 38 to 40 ), अतिशयोक्ति ( Sts. 42, 43 ), श्लेष (Sts. 38, 44, 178), अर्थान्तरन्यास ( St. 77 ), रूपक ( St. 103 ), व्याजस्तुति (Sts. 115, 116 ) etc.* In Kummaputta we hardly meet with such Alankaras and such a happy and . 135, sua to Kumman such (2) The author has also made a happy use of a number of Des'i words which occur here and there in the text. In Kummaputta also we do meet with some Des'i word's but not in such a great number. (3) Another feature of Sirivalakaha is the use of various technical terms such as चउबुद्धि, पंचविहं अभिगमण, पंचविहृ पमाय, अट्ठारसदोस, पनरसमेये सिद्ध, सिद्धानंतचउक्क, कम्मभूमि, दुवालसंगधरं, तवोकम्मं, कुंटलविटलाई, . एगासत्ता, दुबिहोनओ, कालत्तयं, गइचउकं, पचेव अस्थिकाया, दव्वछकं, अठेव कम्माई, नवतत्ताई, दुसविहो धम्मो, मूलुत्तरपयडीओ, कम्मठिई, कम्मविवागं, बंध, उदय, उदीरणा, सत्ता, अमहासिद्धि, ईईओ, अठ्ठारसजाई कुट्ठस्स, ससिचारपाण, etc. which show * All these Alankaras are fully explained in the notes on Sts. wherein they occur.

Page #38
Introduction the great learning and scholarship of the author, and his mastery over the Jaina Philosophy. * (4) A fourth feature is the introduction of the sermons through the mouth of Gautamswami, Munichanda and other sages which feature is found in Kummaputta also with equal success and effect. (5) The fifth feature is the use of difficult stanzas at random in the text, which contain the descriptions of countries and cities, the description of the marriage ceremony of Surasundari, the prayer-song to Lord Rsbha by Mayanasundari, etc. In Kummaputta we get one or two such descriptions but they are not so remarkable. (6) The sixth more important and highly oreditable feature is the descriptior of the Recitation Rite of the Siddhachakrayantra (Sts. 196 to 206), which, as the author says, has been extracted from the Tenth Purva called Vidyanuvada, and thus saved from oblivion. * These various terms require fairly long explanations and they are given in the notes on the Sts. wherein they ocour. For further details on the Siddhachakrayantra and its Recitation Rite refer to the notes on Sts. 196 to 206.

Introduction (7) The seventh feature is the Apabhrans'a verses (Sts. 73, 76, etc.) which contain the solution of the riddle which the two princesses Surasundari and Mayanasundari were asked by their father King Prajapala to solve, and so on. In Kummaputta also two such Apabhrans'a verses are used which give the description of the birth festival of Kummaputta. But in this respect also, the verses used in the former appear to be of a superior quality than those used in the latter from a literary point of view because in the former the dialect is the pure Apabhrans'a dialect whereas in the latter though the stanzas appear to be written in A pabbhrans'a they resemble old Gujarati, as Diwanbabadura K. H. Dhruva also holds. (8) The eighth feature is the frequent use of grammatical forms like furthefoers which is explained in notes on St. 20 and the mastery of the author over various grammatical peculiarities. (9) The ninth feature is the use of certain pure Sanskrit words and phrases, which we term Sanskritism. Throughout the whole text it appears that the writer of this Prakrit book.

(10) The tenth feature is the use of various Heas or good sayings which are collected and given at the end of this edition, (11) The eleverith and the last feature is the metre that is used in the text. The general metre running through the whole text is the same as that which is used in Kummaputta also viz. the perf metro which consists of 30 and 27, Matras or syllabic instants in the first two and the last two Padas respectively, there being 4 Padas in all. ( For a further detailed explanation on आर्या metre refer to वृत्तरत्नाकर ). In addition to this Ratnas'ekhara has made use of some other metres also e. g. the rates metre which is used in the description of the marriage ceremony of Surasundari. It consists of 4 Padas each Pada containing 16 syllabic instants, the last letter of each, which is a determinant, being always neeessarily long, and there being stress ( FC ) on the ist, 5th, 9th and 13th syllabic instants. In Guj. this arenes metre is more popularly, known as 2140. Besides, there is also used in the prayer-song to

These are very good singable metros and can be appreciated by those who kngw the science of music. 18. From all this our discussion it appoars that i literary qualities KummaSuperiority of putta is quite meagte and inferior Sirivalakaha over Kummaputta when compared to Siriva. lakaha. In didactio qualities, also, Sirivalakaba surpasses Kummaputta because the appeal made by the former is far more greater than that made by the latter. No doubt, Kummapusta has succeeded in laying stress on Bhava or the extremely puro mental condition which is also emphasized in Sirivalakaba. But in the latter, Bhava is not the main thing that the author wants to emphasize, but it is the greatness and importance of the Navapada in emphasizing which he has achieved a far greater success than Anantahansa has done in emphasizing Bhava. Thus in conclusion, we can say that Ratnas'ekhara's Sirivalakaha

Page #42
Introduction far surpassos Anantahansa's Kummapatta both in literary and didactic qualities, and this is but quite natural because the author of the former far surpasses the author of the latter 19. Here ends the introduction and the edition is now ready to be put in the wone hands of the public. But before doing so, the editor would like to wish, after Ratnas'ekhara suri, that as long as the sea and the mountain Meru are upon this world and as long as the sun and the moon shine in heaven let this story as well as its readers prosper.

(1) Here in the continent of Jambu, in the middle part of the Southern Bharatardha, there is the country named Magadhe prosper. ons with abundant wealth and corn, well-known to the (people of the) world. (3) Where originated the Tirtha (or the FourFold Religion ) of the Lord Vira which spread in the world. The. Gitartbas (or the great sages) propound that place to be a special place of pilgrimage. (3) In that Magadha country there is an excellent city named Rajagriha, the boundarylines of which are well-decorated by the mountains Vaibhara and Vipula. (4)

(5) Whose chief queen was Nanda by name, she having an excellent son named Abhayakumara, endowed with many virtues and a store of four kinds of talents. (6) He had a second wife namel Chillana, the daughter of king Chedaya, who had (the eldest) son named Asogachanda (i. e. Kunika) and (the other two sons named) Halla and Vihalla. (7) He had many other queens such as Dharani and others, and many clever Sons who were devoted to the foot of their parents. (8) That king Shronika, whose energy or Utsaba-S'akti was incited by Abhayakumara, and whose prowess was manifest in the three worlds, protected (his) kingdom as well as religion.

(11) . He, having obtained the command of the Lord (Jina), came to the garden of the city of Rajagriha being surrounded by a number of monks (12) Having heard of his arrival, all the people of the city, including the king, forthwith came to the garden with all their grandeur. (13) And having observed 'the five-fold manner of approaching,' and having gone round him thrice, and (then) having bowed down to the feet of Gautama, they took their propor seats. (14) (Then), the Reverend One (Gautama) also, who was intent upon doing good (to the people), began to preach the true nature of religion by means of a voice which was as profound as (the roaring of) & cloud full of water.

(18) "There also Charity, without the pure men-. tal condition, does not become a cause of emancipation; and character, devoid of the pure mental condition, becomes fruitless in the world. indeed! (19) "Without the pure mental condition, even penance becomes only a cause of the increase of the flood of the world. Therefore one's own mental condition itself must be made exceedingly pure. (20) H: "The pure mental condition is the subject of the mind, and the mind is very difficult to be conquered (because) it is without any prop. Hence "Meditation' has been prescribod to be the prop for curbing it. (21) .

(23) "There (in the Navapada') you should always contemplate upon the Arhats (i. e. the Tirthankaras) who are free from "The Eighteen Faults,' who are possessed of pure knowledge, and who have propounded "The Truth' (consisting of the nine fundamental categories of Jainism), and who are bowed down by the lords of gods (i. e.

(60) (Now) in the same way Mayanasundari, who was possessed of puro discrimination blessed (with the gift of religion), and who was possessed of decorum, also learnt (all) these arts as if in sport (i.e. quite easily).

16 Siri Sirivalakaha The king, who was greatly delighted (to see them), gave simultaneously to both of them a foot ('pada') of a riddle, in order to test their intellect. (71) (It was) thus: These (things) are indeed ! obtained by merits.' Then at that very moment Surasundari, who was very fickle and who was very much puffed up with pride, said: "Ah! Ah! I shall solve it; listen to me." (72) It is thus : *Riches, youth, cleverness, a healthy body (lit. one's body free from diseases), and the union with one whom we love,-these (things) are indeed ! obtained by merits. (73) Having heard her, the king, who was pleased, began to praise (the preceptor) thus : "Very clever (lit. very good) is the preceptor who has trained her (so well)." Then the assembly also began to say, " True it is ( our lord 1)". (74) Then being asked by the king, Mayana also, who was greatly attached to the words of the Jina and who was equanimous and selfcontrolled, solved that riddle according to her own natural tendency.

Then her teacher was pleased as well as her mother, but not the rest; because the preachings of the Tattya ( or the fundamental categories of inherent truth) do not bring joy to those who are heretics. (77) (Now) in the meanwhile, (it happened like this). There was in the country of Kurujangala, an excellent city named Shankhapuri which afterwards became known as Ahichhatta. (78) In that city, there lived the king Damitari who was like the god of death to his eno: mies. And every year he used to go to the king of Ujjaini to pay his obeisance.

(80) Surasundari looked at him ( i.e. Aridamana); who had come there to pay his obeisance to the kings, and who was possessed of wonderful (lit. celestial). beauty, casting piercing glances at him.

" (83, 84, 85) Then the king, who was pleased and who had known her mind by her fixing her glance (on that prince), said: "Oh, child ! let this Aridamana be your husband." Then all the people in the assembly said : "Oh, king ! this union ( between Aridamana and Surasundari ) is, indeed ! very desirable (lit. beautiful) like the union between a piper-betel tree and the areca (or the betel-nut-tree.)"

(346) The prince replied: "Oh, mother ! the taking back of our kingdom with (the help of) the army of my father-in-law, certainly gives even more pain to my mind." (347)

" (348) " Therefore, having gone to some foreign country alone, I shall, with the help of the strength of the wealth earned (by myself), soon take back the kingdom of my father," (349) His mother replied to him: "You are (only) 8 boy, you are ( quite ) straightforward and you are tender; (whereas) wandering in foreign countries is, indeed, ( very ) difficult and pain. ful." (350) Then the prince told his mother: "Oh, mother ! do not say like this ; there is difficulty only so long as the courageous do not undertake ( to do a thing )." (351) Again the mother said : "Oh, child, (then) we shall ( also ) come with you; ( because ) without you what ( other ) tie (or connection) have we got here in this place ? " (352) The prince said: "Oh, mother! if you come with me, I cannot move freely in every place; therefore, you stay here." (353) ( Then ) Mayana said : "Oh, lord ! I shali

(356) " But you should not, even for a moment, remove from your mind the ( Nine ) Dignities such as Arihanta .and others. You will also (always) remember your mother, and sometimes also me, your servant." (357) The mother also knowing his (firm) determination made an auspicious Tilak-mark ( on his forehead ) and said : " For your welfare, I shall propitiate the Navapada". (358) Mayana said; "Oh, lord ! I, also, shall, with a fixed mind, always propitiate the very Nava. pada which are the cause of welfare." (359)

72 Siri Sirivalakaha Siripala, sprinkled with that neotar of the words of Mayana, bowed down to the feet of his mother, bade farewell to his wife and with & sword in his hand, started from his house, having first raised up his left leg, at the time which was characterized by the entrance (i.e. presence) of the breath in the left nostril (lit moon's nostril) which was adorned by clear drops of water. (360, 361.) ( And ) observing ( different) objects of curiosity in ( various ) village, mines, cities and large towns (either on land or on sea) etc., he, like a lion, with his mind (quite) free from fear, arrived in the vicinity of a mountain. (362) There in a certain forest, which was full of blooming flowers and fruits like those in the garden of Indra, while he was looking at a line of trees which was pleasant on account of the (sweet) sound of the cooing of cuckoos, be saw, seated underneath a beautiful Champaka tree, a handsome man who was possessed of excellent beauty and dress, and who was reciting a 'mantra' (or incantation). (363, 364 ) He, when he finished his recitation, was asked by the prince with modesty ( thus ); " Who are you, and what are you reciting, and why are you (moving) alone in the forest ? (365).

73 Translation Ho replied; " My procoptor has given me # Vidya (or 'spell") and I have already) rocited it, but without a helper 1 do not succeed in acco omplishing it and getting my desired object. (366) "( Therefore ), ob, you, magnanimous one ! if you will, anyhow, become my helper to-day, I will be able to fulfil my. (desired) object, by being successful in accomplishing the spell. " (367) Then on a certain night, that'sadhaka ' (or accomplisher), with the help of the prince, had his spell accomplished as if in sport. (368) (Then) that 'sadhaka', for returning the ob ligation, gave the prince two medicinal herbs and spoke these words: (369). "One (of these two herbs ) enables a person to cross safely through water (jalatarini'), and in the same way, the other evades the weapons of the enemy('parasathhanivarini'); these medici. nal herbs, (therefore), should be kept (carefully) furnishing them with covers made up of 'three metals' (viz. gold, silver and copper). (370). (Then) when that Vidyasadhaka, accompanied by the prince, went to the declivity of the mountain, he was thus spoken to by the mineralogist: (371)

Siri Sirivalakaha "Oh, lord ! though accomplishing according to the rules prescribed by you, we are not able, due to one reason or the other, to accomplish the production of the ( gold-producing ) liquid (rasasiddhi')." (372). Then the prince said: "Oh, you ( mineralogists) | accomplish it in my presence." Then when they did so, they became successful in accomplishing the production of the gold-producing liquid. (373). (Then) the 'sadbakas' having produced (lit. made) gold said: " Oh, p:ince ! it is due to your favour that we have been successful in accomplishing the production of the ( gold-producing ) liquid (374). " Therefore, take this gold." But the prince, who was indifferent (to the desire of gold), did not take it; still, however, though he did not take it, they tied some of it to his garment. (375) Then the prince, (moping through various places), gradually came to a city named ' Bbaruyachchha' (i. e. Broach) and (there) by selling (lit. spending ) the gold, he purchased clothes, ornaments and weapons. (376). And having furnished the two medicinal herbs with covers (made up) of (three-fold) me

Now in the city of Kosambi, there lived a bania (i. e. a merchant) named Dhavala; and because he possessed much wealth he became known in the world as Kubera ( the god of wealth). (378) (And) that merchant having bought with crores of gold coins ( various ) mercantile commodities (ʻkayānaga') and accompanied by many merchants (lit, sons of merchants), had come to Bharuyachchha. (379) There he made a ( very ) big profit, but still intent on going to a distant shore on account of covetousness of wealth, he got many ships made ready. (380] There was one middle-sized ship which was beautiful being furnished with 16 masts, and there were 4 smaller ships each of which was furnished with 4 masts. (381) There were 100 (big) ships used for a long journey, 108 boats, 84 ' Donas' (a kind of ships) and 64 ' Vegadas' (another kind of ships). (382) (There were) 54 "Sillas' ( a kind of this

(383) With the permission (lit. order) of the king they (i. e. the ships) were filled with merchandise and (then) the captains of the ships and the merchants embarked on them (i. e. the ships ) a special care of which was always taken by the divers, boatmen, rowers, mariners, and helmomen; and which were diligently protected by 10,000 soldiers, who were under the service of Dhavala and who had held various kinds of weapons ( ready ) in their hands [ lit. whose hands were intently engaged in ( holding ) various kinds of weapons ]; and which were decorated with many chauries', umbrellas, 'sikkaries' ( a kind of ornaments for the ship ), flags and excellent crests; and whose beauty was enhanced by sails, ropes, anchors, *pakhharas' ( a kind of implements for the protection of a ship ), and drums. ( 384, -385, 386, 387) (Then) having stored them (i. e. the ships) with large quantities of water, provisions for the journey, and fuel, Dhavala, with his retinue, embarked on ships in an auspicious moment and

(388, 389) Then on account of that anxiety, Dhavalahad his face turned black; and ( therefore ), having got down, he went into the city and. asked a woman ( the reason of the ship's not moving). (390) She replied: " These ships are stopped by a god; ( and ) they will move ( only ) when a man possessed of thirty-two auspicious marks on the body is given in oblation." (391) Then Dhavala, having pleased the king with presents of very costly things, requested: him. ( thus ): "Oh, lord ! give me one man for offering oblation." (392) The king said : "Take, as you please, any man who might be a foreigner and helpless ( i.e. without a guardian etc. ), but you should not take any other person." (393) Then when the soldiers of Dhavala began to make a search for such a man, they came to. know the prince Siripala to be a foreigner. (394)

78 Siri Sirivalakaha Then they (lit. those people i.e. the soldiers) informed Dhavala about him (ie, Siripala ) who was possessed of 32 auspicious marks on the body; and Dhavala again obtained the order of the king for capturing him. (395) . (And then) that Siripala, though he was sitting in the market ( or forum ) in a pleasant mood, was suddenly surrounded by the soldiers of Dhavala who had weapons drawn up (ready) in their hands. (396) (And they said:) " Oh, oh, come on quickly; to-day, the merchant Dhavala has become exasperated with you. You will be given in oblation to a god; do not say that we did not tell you (so). (397) The prince replied: " Oh, oh, give oblation by (offering) that animal in the form of Dhavala; have you ever heard anywhere that anybody gives oblation by (offering) a lion? " (398) : Then the soldiers tried to show some strength, but hearing the roaring noise (lit. roaring of a lion) produced by the prince, they ran away like a crowd of jackals. (399) The king also boing impelled by Dhavala sent his own army; but that too was defeated by the prince in no time (lit. in half a moment). (400)

The reverend author of this book Ratnas'ekha rasuri himself emphasizes, in striking words, the great importance of these Nine Dignities or Padas, upon which he has based , his wbole story, his object being to create in our hearts a true and firm faith in these Nine Dignities in order to enable us to reach the true path to Liberation and thus cross the occan of this miserable worldly life.

Siri Sirivalakaba AUTOTE, ferret FARA ATTUTSI": These Nine Dignitios constitute the very essence of the religion of the excellent Jinas.' Thus theirs is a very unique place in the Jaina worship and devotion, and the incessant flow of their eternal adoration, from ancient times, has remained unfinching even up to-day. This is quite evident from the two great religious festivals,which the Jains (especially the orthodox) so devoutly observe very magnificently and .reve rentially even to-day, in the months of Chaitra and Ashwin, --known as the tests' when they keep what are known as Ayambila' fasts (which consist in taking rough (ra) and tasteless (3) food devoid of ghee, sugar, oil, milk and all such tasty articles of eating which create passions, and which we generally take every day-and this food, too, is to be taken only once a day). It is, therefore, essential for us, as students of the Jaina Literature, to study properly all these nine great and important Di'gnities, and have a clear conception of all of them, so that we may have a fair idea of what constitutes the essence of the Jaina Religion.

He is said to be possessed of twelve Gunas viz. the eight Pratiharyas' (arfagris) or paraphernalia (consisting of eight things), and four * Atis'ayas' (watts) or excellences. The eight' Pratiharyas are mentioned in the following sloka': "3771T2: alपुष्पवृष्टिः दिव्यध्वनिश्चामरमातनं च / भामंडलं दुंदुभिtragi zgi faxroffo fra sa TOP 11" They are thus: (i) The As'oka Tree, sittiny under which the Tirthankara delivers his sermons. (ii) The Shower of fragrant flowers possessed of five different colours, by gods, which covers the Jower part of the Tirthankara's body up to the knees. (iii) The Super-human Speech of the Tirthankara which is as sweet as nectar, and which could be understood by all creaturesgods, human beings, and animals, alike. (iv)

The four * Atis'ayas' or excellences are: (i) The Apayapagamatis'aya, (STUTTOATE T) according to which all the troubles and hardships (TTX), both external (such as all diseases and others ), and internal (such as the troubles or hardships which stop one from being charitable, from gaining, from enjoyment, from enjoyment again and again, from exerting bimself, and also those which make him laugh, pleased, displeased, afraid, aggrieved, censured, engage into sexual enjoyment, also those which bring unbelief, ignorance, sleep, non-aversion to worldly things, love, and hate). According to this Atis'aya,

(iv) The Vachanatis'aya (Niqarfato) which refers to the speech of the Tirthankara, which is such as could be understood by gods, men, and animals, alike. It is said to be possessed of 35 'gunas' which we need not mention here. 2. Siduha (fax) or the Emancipated One. Every soul that has completely destroyed all the eight karmas (which are discused somewhere else in these notes) and reached Libera tion, is known as Siddha. He is said to be possessed of eight Gunas' viz. (1) Infinite Knowledge. (ii) Infinite Vision. (iii) Complete and Uninterrupted Bliss. (iv) Unchangeable Condition. (v;Undestructive Nature. (vi) Having no form, colour, smell, taste and touch. (vii) Having nothing like lightness or heaviness or having nothing like a high or low family. (viii) Infinite Ability which enables him to do anything he likes, but he never

He is said to be possessed of 36 'gunas such as the control of the five senses, freedom from lover and hate, celebacy, non-injury, not telling a lie, not taking any thing which is not given, not being attached to worldly things, the * five * Acharas '; the five Samitis and the three * Guptis '. 4.

The remaining four Dignities are : (1) varat atas or True Faith. (2) .AFIT ITA' or True * Knowledge. (3) du atta o- True Character and (4)' aq 'Penance. These Nine Dignities are represented by the Jains in the form of a circle, putting the Tirthankara or Arihanta in the middle, and round about the Tirthankara, there are the Siddha, Faith, Acharya, Knowledge, Upadhyaya, Character, Sadhu and Penance respectively. Theoretically, the dignity or position of a Siddha is higher than that of a Tirthankara, but the reason why the latter (i.e. the Tirthankara) is placed in the middle is this, that he is the Nearest Benefactor (&#T#131) of the people of the world, as he establishes the fourfold 'Tirtha' or religion known as the 'agfira (consisting of the monks, the nuns, the laymen, and the laywomen) which enables the

The diagram on the opposite page shows the circle which is known as "The Siddha-Chakra'or. The Circle of the Sacred Ones (viz. the Nine Dignities) as it is found in the Jaina temples and so reverentially worshipped by the Jains. The special feature to be noted here is that in Jainism, it is not any particular person (or persons) that is worshipped. but it is the 'pada' or the dignity '-i.e, merits or virtuesthat is worshipped. Thus it is not Malavira or Rishabha-the person that is worshipped, but it is the Arihanta Pada, which they have got, that is worshipped.

10 Siri Sirivalakaba kasuri gives us an important information about various technical terms; and the Four Buddhis. or Talents are also explained there. In the beginning, the sutra says: "Tiui rafale tad, तं जहा-आभिणियोहिअनाणं सुअनाणं ओहिनाणं मपFH Caruje BATON" ( .) i. e.' knowledge is of five kinds viz. Abhinibohika (or knowledge which we obtain by means of our talent), Shruta (or knowledge which we obtain by 'hearing' seripturas etc.), Ayadhi (or knowledge by the power of which we are enabled to know whatever things happen in a particiilar part or region of the earth within a certain specified limit, great or small, without the use of the senses or the mind ), Manahparyaya: (or knowledge by means of which we are enabled to know, without the use of the senses or the mind, the thoughts and desires of the minds of other persons), and Kevala (or Omniscience). Commenting upon this sutra, the commentator Haribhadrasuri defines the Abhinibodhika, the first kind of knowledge, thus : , ___" तत्राभिमुखों नियतो बोधोऽमिनिबोधः, सपष Farfas Facturarararfufaalfa*............fara बुध्यते वा तदित्यामिनिबोधिकम्-अवग्रहादिरूपं मतिज्ञानHa................ill " [Padiya (Marwad) Edition

Page #177
* Notes 11 of the Nandisutra: commentary page 21]. The words " Haara" underlined in the passago, quoted above, show that the word stafratlan is a synonym of the word मति (Pk. मइ). This आमिfarantate or hfa knowledge is again sub-divided by the Nandisutra into 'two sub-divisions : " आमिणिबोहियनाणं दुविहं पन्नतं, तंजहा - सुयनि ferro seETREFTET " ( 88.). The two subdivisions thus are: (1) श्रुतनिश्रित or that मति knowledge which arises on account of the power of the study of hearing of the sta knowledge practised previously (ie, in previous life) .and (2) syafafera or that knowledge which arises without any such thing practised before.. As the commentator says, ' it arises out of the 'तथाविधक्षयोपशम' or that particular state in which all the potencies of action (Fagfas ) that come in the way of our obtaining such knowledge are destroyed and subsided. Now this second sub-division Titafafera mafaatधिक or मति knowledge is again further subdivided into four kinds which are known as gra' or the Four Talents mentioned here. "अस्सुअनिस्सिअं चउन्विहं पन्नतं, तं जहा उप्पत्तिा 1. वेणइआ 2.. कम्मया 3. परिणामिआ 4. / बुद्धि चउविहा a IAT uitageTE II " ( 78). Thus the Four Buddhis or talents are (1) cyferent i. e. Intui

In the Nandisutra they are thus defined: "पुव्वं अदिठमस्सुअ-मवेइयतक्खर्णावसुद्धगहिअत्था। अव्वाहयफलजोगा, बुद्धी उप्पत्तिआ नाम // " "भरनित्थरणसमत्था, तिघग्गसुत्तत्थाहअपेाला। उभओ लोगफलवई, विषयसमुत्था हवइ बुद्धी // " "उवओगदिवसारा, कम्मपसंगपरिघोलणविसाला। साहुक्कारफलवइ, कम्मसमुत्था हवइ बुद्धी // " * "अणुमाणहेउदिळंत-साहिआ वयविवागपरिणामा। हियनिस्सेअसफलवइ-बुद्धी परिणामिआ नाम " Under each of these four verses defining the four kinds of buddhis' the Satrakara gives a long list of examples or stories which illustrate the same (i. e. the four buddhis'). The illustrations given for the Autpattiki buddhi are enumerated in the following three verses * "भरहसिल 1 पणिय 2 रुक्खे 3, खुड्डुग 4 पड 5 सरड 6 काय 7 उबारे 8 // गय 9 घषण 10 गोल 11 खमे, खुडुप 13 मग्पित्थि 15 पह 15 पुत्ते 16 // "भरह 1 सिल 2 मिंढ 3 कुक्कुड, 4 चालुअ 5 हत्थी 6 अगड 7 वमसंडे)

If we were to give at length all these stories "in full details, it would make a whole separate volume. Hence being satisfied by only enumerating them as above, we shall here take the first story from each of the four lists of illustrations, and give four stories in details in order to illustrate the four buddhis' respectively.

It is as follows : There was a city named Ujjaini. In its vicinity there was a village inhabited by dancers. In that village there lived a dancer named Bharat, His wife had died, but he had & young son named Rohaka. Hence in order to : well look after him he soon married & second : wife. But she did not treat Rohaka well. Rohaka, however, brought her round by play ing a trick with the help of his Autpattiki * Buddhi. But thinking that, in order to take revenge, she will kill him by. poison etc., he al.. ways took his food in the company of his

Siri Sirivalakaha father, but never took it alone, Now on 2. certain day, he went with his father to the eity of Ujjaini, and he saw that city of Ujjaini which was like the city of gods (i. e. Indrapuri). With his heart struck with wonder, he observed the whole of the city very ..well, and then, with his father, he went out of the city. His father, saying that he had forgotten something in the city, asked Rohaka to sit on the ban's of the river Sipra and went to the city again for bringing that thing. Now, here, Rohaka also according to his clever boy-like nature, drew the figure of the whole of the city on the sand of the bank of the river Sipra. Now, in the meanwhile, the king of Ujjaini who was mounted on his horse, and who was moving quite alone, being, on account of one reason or the other, separated from his company, tried to pass by that path. When Rohaka saw bim passing through the figure of the) city drawn by him he asked the king: " Oh, king I do not go by this path. The king asked: "Why?" Rohaka replied: "Do you not see that this is tho royal palace ? " The king, through curiosity, saw the whole of the city drawn by him (ie. Rohaka) and asked : " Boy! did you ever see this city before !" Rohaka

Page #183
Notes 17 replied, "No, I have come here from my village only to-day." Then the king thought; << Oh, wonderful is the talent of this boy." Then he asked Rohaka: " Boy ! what is your name, and what is your village ? " He replied "My name is Robaka, and I live in the neighbouring city." By this time there arrived Rohaka's father and both of them started for their village. The king also went his own way and thought in his mind: "I have got 499 ministers, but if however, I may get a prime minister possessed of exceptional talent and intelligence, then my kingdom would go on quite happily, because generally a king possessed of the strength of 'buddhi' (i.e. talent), though wanting in other kinds of strength, is never defeated and conquers other kings as if in sport." Thinking thus, he after a few days called before him the leading men of the village, and apparently ordered them to make a very big stone' lying outside their village into a covering (i.e. ceiling) fit for a royal 'mandap ', without lifting it from that place. But by ordering them to do so he really wanted to test the 'buddhi'(i.e. the talent) of Robaka. Then receiving this order from the king, all the people of the village, thinking it impossible to carry out

Page #184
Siri Sirivalakaha the order of the king and therefore, with their minds greatly troubled, gathered together in an assembly outside the village and began to ask one another thus: " What should be done now ? the king has given us a very bad order, and if the order of the king will not be carried out, great evil will come to us." While they were thinking thus it became mid-day, and their anxiety increased more and more. Now Rohaka, as usual, did not take his meals without his father and he (i.e. his father) had gone to the meeting of the villagers outside. Then Rohaka, being very much hungry, went to his father and began to cry and said: "I am very hungry, therefore come home for meals." Bharata, Lis father, said: " Child ! you are happy; you do not kNGow any calamity of the village." He asked: " Father, what is it? Then Kharata explained to him the order of the king in full details. Then by the power of his innate talent Rohaka at once thought out a plan of accomplishing the work and said: "Do pot be troubled. Dig underneath the big stone in order to create a 'mandapa' fit for the king and place pillars at proper places. Then make the walls and polish them." When he said so, all the people of the village cried

Page #185
19 Notes out: "excellent !" and then all of them went to their houses for meals. Having taken their meals they came to the place where tho stone was lying, and began to do their work. After a number of days they completed the whole 'mandapa', and that stone served the purpose of its ceiling. Then the royal officers brought the intelligence to the king that the order of His Majesty was carried out. The king asked: "how?" Then they revealed to the king the whole manner in which the mandapa' was created. Then the king asked as to whose buddhi it was and they replied: " This is the Autpattiki Buddhi of Robaka, the son of the dancer Bharat." In this way the king tested the buddhi' of Rohaka twelve other times by giving similer riddlelike orders, as illustrated in the remaining 12 illustrations given in the second verse, all of which Robaka solved easily by means of his innate ''buddhi'. The king was, then, greatly pleased with his wonderful Autpattiki Buddhi and appointed him his prime minister=thus placing him at the head of all his 499 ministers. Here ends our illustration of the Autpattiki: Buddhi (2) निमित्त (Sk. नैमित्तिकः) or the Story of an Astrologer: which illustrates the Vainayiki Buddhi:

Page #186
Siri Sirivalakaba In a certain city there lived an inspired sage (or seer). He had two pupils who were studying under him 'the science of marks and omens (fafAaCT).' One, who was very obedient and modest towards the preceptor, always pondered over what the preceptor taught, and if there remained any doubts after pondering over, he went to the preceptor and solved thom. Thus always pondering over whatever he learnt, he became clever and intelligent. The other pupil was devoid of all these virtues of modesty, pondering over, etc. and hence he did not turn out to be so. Now, once, being asked by the preceptor, both of them started for a n ighbouring village. On the road they saw some big foot-prints and, therefore, the pupil who had formed the habit of pondering over ( Vimrus' yakari) asked the other who never pondered over (Avimrus'yakari) thus: " Brother! whose footprints are those ?" Avimrus'yakari replied: "What is to be asked here? These are the foot-prints of an elephant." Then Vimrus'yakari said: "Do not speak like this, these are the foot-prints of a she-elephant, and she is blind by the left eye, on her is mounted a certain queen,--her busband is alive, and she is heavy with child, and about to give birth; and she will deliver

Page #187
21 Notes to-day or to-morrow, and a son will be born to her." Then, when he said so, Avimrus'yakari asked: " How did you Know this?" Vimrusyakari replied: " Knowledge can be judged by conviction; hence while going further it will be more certain by conviction. Then they reached the village of their destination, and on the bank of a great lake outside that village they saw the queen halted there. They also saw that the she-elephant was blind by the left eye. At this moment a certain maid-servant (of the queen) said to a courtier: "I congratulate you upon the king's getting a son". Thereupon Vimrus'yakari called the attention of Avimru: s'yakari upon the words of the maid-servant, and the latter replied: "I am convicted of everything; your knowledge is quite right". Then, they, having washed their hands and feet, sat under a fig-tree situated on the bank of that great lake in order to take rest, and were seen by an old woman who was carrying a pot full of water upon her head, and she examined them and thought: " Verily, these appear to be learned persons. Therefore, I shall * ask them about the coming back of my son who has gone to a foreign country." She asked them the same, and while

Page #188
22 Siri Sirivalakaha she was doing so,' the pot on her head foll down and was broken into hundred pieces. Then at once, Avimrus'yakari spoke : " Your son has gone to destruction (i. e. death ) like this your pot." Vimrus' yakari said: " No, no, brother ! do not speak like this, her son has already come to her house "; and he, then, said to the old woman : " Oh you, good old lady'! go home and see the face of your son." Then, she, being spoken thus, went towards her house as if become alive again, giving hundreds of blessings to Vimras' yakari; and there she found that her son had come home. There she was bowed down to by her son, and she also give him her blessings and told" hini aboat'the incident of the astrologer (Vimrus' yakari'. Then with the permission of her son, she gave a pair of clothes and a number of rupees to Vimirus'yakari as a present. And Avimrus'yakari greatly dejected at heart thought in his mind thus: "Verily, I am not well taught by the preceptor; otherwise how is it that I cannot know this if he does it ? " Then having performed the work of the preceptor, both of them came before the preceptor. There Vimrus'yakari at the very sight of the preceptor bent down his head, folded his hands, and fell at the feet

Page #189
Notes: 23 of the preceptor with great respect, and with his eyes full of the tears of joy. But' Avimrus'yakari stood there as motionless as a moun. tain without even slightly bending down his body, inhaling smoke, and emitting out the fire of malice. Then the preceptor asked him : " How is it that you do not fall at my feet?" ilo' replied: "He, who is well-taught; will fall at your feet, not I". The preceptor said: " How do you say that you are not well taught ? " Then he revealed to him the whole account. Then the preceptor asked' Vimrus'ya kari: "Boy! tell me how did you know this ?") Then he said: "At your advice I began to ponder over thus :-that these foot-prints are well-known as those of an elephant, but when I reflected over it further, whether they were of an elephant or of a she-elephant and seeitig their corporeal size I decided that they were of a she-elephant. Again I found that the shieelephant had completely cut down a bower of Valli-creepers which fornis her substinence on her right side, but not on the left. Henee I decided that she was blind by the left eye, Again I reflected that a person possessed of such a retinue, and mounted upon an elephant, cannot be other than a royal person; and that

Page #190
24 Siri Sirivalakaha person had, I found, alighted the elephant at a certain place in order to calm down her bodily pain, and judging from the size of her body I decided that she was a queen, and see. ing some small bits of the skirt of a red garment entangled in a tree I decided that her husband was alive. Finding that she had got up after supporting herself on her hand on the ground, I decided that she was heavy with child; and judging the unbearable freeing and placing on ground her right leg I decided that she was about to deliver. Now as regards the question of the old woman my reflection was thus :--"Just as her pot merged into the dust from which it was born, in the same way the son also will meet his mother who gave him birth". Then after this the preceptor looked at Vimrus'yakari with delight and praised him; and to Avimrus'yakari he replied: " It is your fault, that you do not ponder over, and not mine. We (preceptors) are simply to explain to you the meaning of the s'astra' (or scriptures ), but it is for you to ponder over. Thus this was the Vainayiki Buddhi of Vimrus'ayakari. (3) हेरण्णिअ (Sk. हैरण्यक) or the Illustration of a gold and silver merchant: which illustrates the Karmaja Buddhi. He (i. e. &

Page #191
Notes gold and silver merchant), is able to examine well a rupee even in darkness by means of touch etc. This is due to his Kar. maja Buddhi. The same is the thing in the case of a weaver, a merchant, a potter, & painter etc. To make it more clear we shall take one more story of करिसग (Sk. कर्षक) i.e. a farmer (who knew the art of attracting things ) : A certain thief, made a hole of the shape of a lotus in the house af a. baniya, and having come in the morning to that very house without being perceived by any one, he heard the praise of the people about himself. There was, however, a certain farmer who said: "What indeed ! is difficult to a man who has got practice ? If a man has got constant practice of doing a thing and if he does that thing in an excellent manner, there is no wonder". Then that thief, hearing these words, burnt with rage. Then he (i. e. the thief) inquired of somebody who that farmer was, and having known him, he went to his (i.e. the farmer's) field on a certain day, with a dagger drawn in his hand, and standing before him he said: "I shall kill you to-day ". He asked " Why ? " The thief replied : " Because the other day you

Page #192
Siri Sirivalakaha : did not praise' ray bola". The farmer said: " It was "true; because he, who has got practice of doing a thing always becomes a master of that thing. There I, myself, am an example. If you ask me, I will make thone beans in my hand fall on the ground with their faces down wards, or if you like with their faces upwards or sidewards". Then the thief being more' struck with wonder said: "Make all of them fall on the gfound with their faces downwards." The farmer, thereupon, spread a piece of cloth on the ground and made them all fall on it with their faces downwards. The thief was greatly struck with wonder and be again and again praised the cleverness of the farmer drid said : " If thc beans had not fallen on the ground with their face'downwards, I would Heve certainly killed you ". Here, in this story, the 'buddhi' of tle thief and the farmer was the Karmaja Buddbi. (4) ep (Sk, stret) or the Story of Abhayakumara: bimiself who'is here said to be possessed of all the four buddhis. [Before actually giving this story some explanation is here required to be made. Each of the 21 illustrations of tho Parinaniki Buddhi, is simply alluded to, by the commentator Malayagiri, in his commentary

7. Notes" 27 merely in one or two lines, the details being not given because, as he says, all those stories are very very long and would cover separate big volumes. Accordingly, this story of Abhaya" (i. e. Abhayakumara) is also not given there in full details, but is simply alluded to in about a line and a half. But it is given in full details in Abhayaktimara Charitra. in poetry by Upadhyaya Shree Chandratilaka which is translated into Gujarati in three volumes by Motichand Oghavji Shah, and published by Bhaichanda Naginbhai Zavori for Sheth Naginbhai Manchhoobhai Jain Sahitya Fund: Surat. The detailed story of Abhayakumara given below, which illutrates the last i.e. the Parinamiki Buddhi, is taken and summarised from the 8th 'sarga' of the second volume of this translation. ] Abhayakumara' was, as is mentioned in our text also, the son of the well-known Jaina king Shrenika, who ruled in the city of Rajagrina in the country of Malava. In that same country there was a city namied Ujjaini whore ruled the mighty kings Chandapradyota. Once he thought of conqueriny Rajagriha. King Sorenika, getting news about this, became much puzzled, because he thought that Chandrapra.

Page #194
28 Siri Sirivalakaba dyota, with his large army, will certainly conquer him, and hence he asked his talented son Abhayakumara what to do. He asked his father not to worry about that, and he ( i.o. Abhayakumara ) asked his men to put under the ground over which the enemy would lodge, jars full of gold coins. Now in a short time, Chandrapradyota, with a large army and many feudatory chiefs, invaded Rajag riha and besieged it. Getting news about this Abhayakumara sent a letter to Chandra pradyota in which he wrote: " You are the husband of queen S'ivarani, my mother's sister. You will, therefore, carefully consider the few lines that I write to you. My father has won over his side all your feudatory chiefs by giving them jars full of gold coins, and they themselves, therefore, will hand you over to my father, with your hands and legs tied up. If you do not believe in me, dig and scrutinize the places where they have lodged, and you will know the truth." Having read this letter, Chandrapradyota dug the ground under the camp of one of his feudatory kings, and found those jars full of gold coins; and thinking that his life was in danger he ran away with his army from that place, and

Page #195
Notes 29 therefore his feudatory kings also did the same. When they reached Ujjaini the latter asked the former the reason of his running away and he explained to them the same. They told the king that it was false, and thus Chandrapradyota became aware of the trick of Abhayakumara, and in order to take revenge, he took a vow to get him (i.e. Abhayakumara) brought to Ujjaini with his hands and legs bound. In order to carry out this purpose,he engaged a harlot who asked the king to procure for her two young girls possessed of equal beauty. This was done, and then the harlot, with the two girls, went to some Jaina nuns, and all the three, in a short time became great Shravikas-of course, not at heart but only in name. After learning all the duties etc. of Shravikas they started for Rajagriha. Having reached it, they visited all the Jaina temples there, and then at last they went to a temple built by king Shrenika himself. There they worshipped the Jina in an excellent manner with great pomp. At that time Abhayakumara, also, came there to worship the Lord Jina; and seeing the harlot and the two girls extolling the Lord Jina with as great a devotion and attention as those of an ascetic, he got much delighted and thought

Page #196
Siri Sirivalakaha that if he would go in they will be interrupted in their worship, and therefore he remained outside. After a time they got up carefully to avoid any kind of 'hinga.' Then Abhayakumara went in and with the devotion of a co-religio. nist he folded his hands to them, and asked them who they were. The harlot, pretending to be a great Shrayika told that she was the widow of a rich Shravaka of the city of Avanti, and that the two girls with her were also the widows of her son who was also dead, and added that all this was the working of their evil karmas, and also told that all of them were to take Diksha (initiation) in a few daye, and that they had for the present started on their pilgrimage-journeys to various pilgrim-places such as S'atrunjaya, Sametas'ikhara oto. Abhayakumara, * great Shravaka as he was, was greatly delighted to hear this, and invited them to the royal house for entertainment. In return, after some days, the harlot invited Abhayakumara to her temporary residence in Rajagrina for the same. In order to please his religious sister, Abhayakumara accepted the invitation and went to her place. He was given an excellent dinner, but in drink he was given Chandrahasa' wine which after some time threw him into

Page #197
Notes 31 deep slumber. He was, then, tasen in a swift chariot to Ujjaini before king Chandrapradyota. Now, here in Rajagriha when king Shrenika found that Abhayakumara was missing, he sent his men to the place of the harlot but she replied that he had come to ber place but soon left it lest he would miss his other stateduties. In a short time after this, she left Rajagriba and went away to Ujjaini and revealed to Chandrapradyota the whole account. Abhayakumara was, then, put into prison, and thus Chandrapradyota took his revenge. Now in the kingdom of Chandrapradyota (1). queen S'ivadevi (2) The elephant Nalagiri (3) The chariot Agnibhiru and (4) the messenger Lohajangha, were considered to be the four gems which accomplished all his actions. Now the messenger Lohajangha was always sent to the place of one of his feudatory kings by Chandrapradyota, and he (i. e. the feudatory king ) was greatly dejected with always making arrangements for receiving him, and giving him and his retinue lodging, food etc. The same was the case with other feudatory kings. Therefore, one day, they gave him poisoned sweet-balls as provision for the return journey. Due to ill-omong on the road, . . .

Page #198
32 Siri Sirivalakaba however, he did not eat them and brought them to Ujjaini and told Chandrapradyota how he had not eaten them on account of ill-omens on the road, and come home hungry. The king told the same thing to Abhayakumara and asked him to explain to him the hidden meaning of this. A bhayakumara smelt the pot of the sweet-balls and told that some snch thing had been mixed with them that a drashtivisa' serpent has been born in it. Had Lohajangha opened it, he would have met with death. Then the serpent was taken out of the pot and thrown into a jungle. Chandrapradyota was greatly pleased with this talent of Abhayakumara and promised him one boon which the former reserved for a proper occasion. Similarly Abhayakumara was 'promised a second boon on the occasion of his checking the elephant Nalagiri who had created a great excitement and uproar in Ujjaini, and whom no body could control. He was also given a third and a fourth boon in return of his pacifying a great fire, and a great divine wrath (Upadrava). ; Now Abhayakumara thought the proper occasion of asking all the four boons and

Page #199
Notes 33 said: "Give me these four boons. (1) I should be seated on the elephant Nalagiri, (2) S'ivadevi should make me sit in her lap, (3) you should be the keeper of the elephant and (4) with all this I shall enter the pile made up of the wood of Agnibhiru chariot. Hearing this Chandrapradyota became as cold as ice and told Abhayakumara with folded hands that he was unable to give these boons, and further told him that he was, therefore, released and he could go. Then Abhayakumara took a vow before him i.o. Chandrapradyota ) that as he had brought him there bound by practising a religious deceit, he ( i. e. Abhayakumara) would take him (i.e. Chandrapradyota ) bound a mad man from Ujjaini at mid-day, in the presence of all the people of his city; and then he returned to Rajagriha and appeased king Shrenika and all who were miserable on account of his separation. Now Abhayakumara employed two beautiful harlots for entrapping Chandrapradyota, and he took the dress of a merchant and changed his voice by some magical charm. Then they (i. e. Abhayakumara and the two harlots) went to Ujjaini and hired a big building and stayed

Page #200
34 Siri Sirivalakaba there. Once Chandrapradyota happened to see these two beautiful harlots, and fell in love with them, and was smitten with great pangs of love. After great entreaty and requests: through his maid-servant, the harlots agreed. that the king should come to their place after seven days at a particular time when their brother would be absent, because he did not allow them to leave their place. . In the meanwhile, Abhayakumara found out a man having the same shape as that of Chandrapradyota; called him by the name * Pradyota', and made him known in the city as his mad brother, and he told: alli the people that he was much worried about his brother and he did not know where to take him and what medicine to give him etc. and sometimes he used to place him on a cot and tio him tightly and take him on the royal road publicly, even though he gave loud cries, and that man also, as taught by Abhayakumara, used to cry out "Oh, people ! please listen to my one sentence, I am king Pradyota, he is carrying me away, get me released from him etc." Hearing this the people used to come to him, but recogniz-. ing him not to be Chandrapradyota they used to laugh among themselves. Abhayakumara did

Page #201
1 Notos 35 so every mornings and created a confidence in the hearts of all the people, young and old. * Chandrapradyota passed his seven days with great difficulty. On the seventh day he went to the harlots at the appointed time. Abhayakumara's men caught him and bound him to a cot and Abhayakumara carried him even during the day time through the midst of the town. Chandrapradyota gave loud cries: "I am king Pradyota; the enemy is" carrying me away." But the people took him to be that mad Pradyota and Abhayakumara told that that day he was troubling him much and, therefore, he was taking him with him to give him some strong medicine so that he would not cry out again. Then he (i.e. Chandra pradyota) was taken to Rajagriha before king Shrenika who ran at him with a dagger in hand, as he was reminded that he had kept Abhayakumara in prison; but Abhayakumara intervened and said that they should not kill even an enemy who had come to their shelter. Then Chandrapradyota was allowed to go and he went to his city with his mind greatly dejected. Thus Chandrapradyota's pride was soiled to dust by the Parinamiki Buddhi of Abhayakumara:

They are an outcome of the feelings of the poet's own heart, and hence they are very beautiful stanzas rich in language, diction, thought and exposition of feelings. They are briefly summarized below. . First of all, the sage Gautama says that giving up 'pramada' (i. e. carelessness and negligence), - one should practise the true religion "eport, Fi, B , algu tareafteroi" (i.e. a sword, an umbrella, a crowd, shoes or sandals, and a fan ).

The pure mental condition, however, says the sage, depends upon the mind which can be best disciplined and restrained only with the help of pure meditation, and the most important of all the meditations is the meditation upon the Navapada, also called fogat (or the Circle of the Sacred ones). Then the sage further says that this Navapada constitutes the very essence of the Jaina Religion, and then he describes the true nature of each of these Nine Dignities in appealing words, and advises us to cultivate in our hearts a feeling of adoration for this Navapada which gives us real happiness (viz. Spiritual Liberation). St. 16-17. jalat Tari. The Five kinds of Pramada. They are enumerated in the following shloka : " मज्जं विषय कषाया निदा विकहा पंचमी भणिया। 95 TY TART' Efra osfa Fiard il ".

In Pk. conjunct consonants are generally either simplified (one of them being dropped), or retained ( in which case the conjunct consonants, if they are dissimilar, are changed to similar ones by dropping one of them and doubling the other by reduplication). In the former case, the preceding vowel if short, is made long, e.g. कम्मण = कामण, (magic); and in the latter case, the preceding vowel, if

We retain the conjunct consonant in the indeclinable for and hence the preceding vowels in forerurat is shortened.

(2) Aer or the good behaviour wtth regard to the cultivating of True Faith in oneself and in others.(3) af Trak or the good behaviour with regard to the practising of asceticism by one self and by others. It consists in observing 'the five samities' and 'the three guptis' generally known as the story TATTAIAT '( because they give birth and nourish talent or the true religion consisting of Fjars. The five samities mentioned are:इरियासमिति, भाषासमिति, एषणासमिति, आदानभंडनि eutafafa; and holy fatefhfa; and the three gupties are:- Hailufa, ceafa and rufa. (4) तपाचार or the good behaviour with regard to the practising of penance. It is of twelve kindsa-six an outward and six s ia or inward. The six kinds of outward penance are (i) waita (ii) mlecat (iii) afariam (iv) THRITT (1) कायक्लेश and (vi) संलीनता. The - six kinds of inward penance are (i) Tefta (ii) faare (iii) artes (iv) Faro (o) sera(vi) TTT.(5) atlar or the good behaviour with regard to exerting oneself according to one's capacity in doing religious deeds.

"garanta areti prafat:" (Apte's Dictionary ). Hence sufafae will here mean' at the head of the Gana , the Upadhyaya being the next in rank to an Aoharya who possesses a Gana, the Upadhyaya being the foremost in the Gana. (The commentator explains " tureT-17OEFT stary-erotten fare Teata erfaren for meret: :") St. 28. Foare apare (Sk. arate that भूमिषु ). In जिवविचारप्रकरण of Shrimad S'antisuri the human beings are said to be of three kinds: " APATA TEPATfret HOTEET TI." (aerTatu St. 23.1. 2. ) Viz. (I) those born in Karma-bhumi' (2)those born in. Akarma-bhumi' and (3) those born in 'Antardwipa'. Now Karma-bhumis are those regions of the universe where various karmas (or works) such as warfare ( sifa ), commerce, religion and writing etc. (fe), and agriculture (He) etc. are done, and where there are opportunities of hearing and practising religion consisting of renunciation and asceticism. The regions where no suoh karmas or actions are done are called 'Akarma-bhamis. In such lands all the

Page #214
*8 Siri Sirivalakaba inbabitants are twins. A son and a daughter are both born together, and when they grow old they become husband and wife; and the needs of the people of such places are supplied by the ten kinds of Desire-yielding trees. Such being the nature of these lands, no religion can be practised there. This explains why the sa. dhus are said to be moving in Karma-bhumis' and not in ' Akarma-bbumis' because they can practise religion and ascetic life only in the former and not in the latter. As regards the 'Antardwipas', they are so called because they are born in the islands known as the ' Antardwipas '. The number of " Karma-bhumis 'mentioned in Jainism is 15 viz. 5 Bharata Countries, 5 Airwat Countries, and 5 Mahavideba countries. The number of ' Akarma-bhamis' is 30 viz. 5 Haimyat Countries, 5 Hariyarsa Countries, 5 Devakuru Countries, 5 Uttarkuru Countries, 5 Ramayka Countries, and 5 Aairanyavat Countries. The Antardwipas are said to be 56 in number ( for further details see Gujarati gloss on sfraFaeruacut). Torrutfe (Sk. Justur:) The collection of virtues.

St. 30. girersitargo (Sk. utatufafacertaria त्वावबोधरूपं) सार्थ here means 'collection.' तत्त्वावबोध - तत्त्वज्ञान philosophy.

The uniting of karma-pudgalas with the soul is Karma, As dirt sticks to an oily cloth, 80 Karma sticks to the soul which is, so to say, oily with (i. e. under the influence of ) love and hate, and this close and thick uniting of karma-pudgalas with the soul is घनकर्म. दुवालसंगधरं (Sk. gTqMFT ) This has got two meanings (i) when going with तवोकम्मं (Sk. तपोकर्म) it means 'the Twelve-fold Penance'( for further details see notes on st. 26 ), and ( 2 ) when goiug with g (Sk. re) it means the twelve forms of the sun (see 'Apta's Dictionary'), or the 12 suns. Just as there are 12 kinds of penance in the same way there are 12 suns in the universe : " सूर्यपक्षे लोके द्वादशसूर्याणां रूढत्वात् " Com ).

It is due to the presence of Dharmastikaya and Adharmastikaya that the 'jivas' and the 'pudgalas' can move freely in the Lokakas'a. But as these are not found in the Alokakas'a even powerful gods like Indra cannot enter it; and that is also the

Its ratus meet, and are separated, every moment. In the terreinencu verse 11, its qualities are thus described : " सबंधयार उज्जोअ, पभा छाया तवे हि / वन गंध रसा फासा, पुग्गलाणं तु लक्खणं // " Hence a pudgala is 'that matter which is possessed of the qualities of sound, darkness, light, lustre, imago, heat, colour, smell, taste and touch.

The first Pratima is to be observed for one month, the second for two, the third for three, the fourth for four and so on, and thus it takes 66 months or five years and a half to complete all these Eleven Pratimas, after whioh some may again return to household life, some may take to ascetic life, and some may take to Sparta or religious death.

There are four ways in which Karma binds the soul and this is known as the fourfold ). patata which is thus defined :“पयइठिहरसपएसा तं चउहा मोअगस्स दिळंता। मूलपगइठ्ठ उत्तरपगइ अडवन्नसयमेयं // " . (Karmagrantha I. verse. 2.) Thus teafa is one of the four main divisions of the apparater and it (i. e. gefa ) is thus defined : "TTC erat ga" i. e. Prakriti means ' a natural character or potency. As soon as a soul accumulates Karma, the nature or potency of that Karma is also decided and this is Prakriti. In order to understand this nature or Prakriti, the illustration of a sweet-ball is very useful. Just as a sweet-ball made up of dried-ginger (go') removes ar or wind, that made up of "Jiru ' (sfrs) removes humour (former ) and that made up of cough-removing ingredients removes cough, in the same way some karma removes i. e. obstructs knowledge,

Page #239
stus Notes 79 some obstructs Dars'ana or True Faith;" some obstructs Character and so on. Thus at the time of the binding of the karmas with the soul, their different natures or potencies are decided and this is known as * Prakriti.' Thus here Prakriti means natural character or potency.'. Prakriti also means te or division'. In कम्माणं मूलपयडीओ. it has got this latter meaning, and hence this phrase means the Principal Divisions of Karma' which are 8 in number ( cf. Furta8 ) viz. (1) rarerurter (2) Fare curret (3) Hartie (4) Biacre (5) aqafter (6) STRI (7) ata and (8) TET. Out of these 8 main divisions of Karma, the first four are often called aifa Karnas, because they destroy the spiritual welfare of the soul and the last four are called staula as they do not do so. The former, four are sometimes also called famafara or those which we are bound to experience, and the latter four afar fara or farmers Karmas i.e. those which we may, by extraordinary exertions, evade. [ The fanfarces are also again divided into two sub-divisions viz. (1). sufentfern and (2) grafen out of which the stepfam fatis can be destroyed up to a certain limit, by practising hard and extremely pure inward penance, after which they must be experienced:

(4). The Nature of sarcian. It is just like a treasurer ( verir). Just as a great donor, such as a king etc. cannot give charity lavishly if his treasurer is a miser ( because the latter often dissuades him from doing so by telling him that the kingdom is suffering from this loss and that eto.), in the same way, the soul, which is also of a charitable nature and which is possessed of Virya etc. cannot use them properly, so long as it is under the influence of firstf.

Just as a man, who is fettered, cannot be set free until the king orders, in the same way, under the influence of are the soul cannot be free" from existence (fa) until the period upto which it is to stay there is completed. This Karma creates transmigration of the soul. (7) The Nature of THA . It is compared to a painter (fertart). Just as & painter paints various designs and various kinds of persons, in the same way, through transmigration, the 'java' gets various names and existences. ( 8 ) The Nature of T1774.

(For detailed explanation on all these नामकर्मप्रकृतिs, कर्मप्रन्य I. should be referred to). The गोत्रकर्म, like वेदनीय, has got two प्रकृतिक

(1) दानांतराय, (2) लाभांतराय, (3) भोगांतराय, (4) उपभोगांतराय, (5) वीर्यातराय. ____They are thus explained in कर्मग्रन्थ I. verse 52. line 2. and verse 53: " विग्धं दाणे लामे, भोगुवभोगेसु वीरिए अ॥" " सिरिहरि असमं एअं, जह पडिकलेण तेण रायाइ / न कुणइ दाणाई अं, एवं विग्ण जीवो वि // " कम्मठिइं (Sk. कर्मस्थिति). Like प्रकृति, स्थिति is also one of the four main divisions of aratata and it is thus defined: “ठिई कालावहारणं". Hence feufa means '& certain fixed time'. As soon as a karma is accumulated by the soul, the time, for which it will bind the soul, is also decided and this is known as ferfa. In order to understand this term also, we have, of course, to take the same illustration of a sweet - ball which we took in understanding Prakriti (and later in understanding अगुभाग ie. रस and प्रदेश also, we shall take the same illustration). Just as some sweet-ball remains ftt for eatiny for & month, some for 15 days and so on, and then it becomes useless, in the same way, some

The maximum and the minimum time for which each of the 8 main divisions of Karma binds the soul is thus given in the TATTAY**UT, verses 40 to 42:" नाणे अ दसणावरणे, वेयणिए चेव अंतराए अ / तीसं कोडाकोडी, अयराणं ठिई अ उक्कोसा // सित्तरि कोडाकोडी, मोहणिए वीस नाम गोएसु / तित्तीसं अयराई, आउठिइबंध उक्कोसा // are HET heat, anfong sugata otce I FATICHETI, ci defesari 11 ".

The good. as well as bad effects of Karma which make. us happy or miserable respectively. There are four principal inward causes which bring Karma to the soul viz. (1) Hezre or False: Faith, (2) serta or Attachment to worldly things, (3) mart or giving vent to anger, pride, deceit and greed, (4) stor or Employing one's mind, body and speech in worldly things.

Page #251
Nates se 85 . There are however, many other outward causes, which bring शुभ or अशुभकर्मs to our soul and give us happiness or misery accordingly. And this bringing of happiness or misery to our soul by the various causes of karma is known as कर्मविपाक, on which the whole of the Karmagrantha I. is based and it is itself called कर्मविपाक. The various outward causes of the coming of शुभ or अशुभकर्मs to the soul given at the end of the Karmagrantha I. are very useful for fully understanding the term 'कर्मविपाक' as well as for the spiritual welfare of the soul. Hence they are quoted verbatim below:" पडिणीअत्तणनिन्हव-उवधायपओस अंतराएणं / अच्चासायणयाए, आवरणदुगं जिभो जयइ // गुरुभत्तिखंतिकरुणा - वयजोगकसायविजयदाणजुओ / दृढधम्माइ अज्जर, सायमसायं विवज्जयओ // उमग्गदेसणामग्ग - नासणादेवव्वहरणेहिं / दसणमोहं जिणमुणि-वेइअसंघाइ पडिणीओ // दुविहंपि चरणमोहं, कसायहासाइविसयविवसमणो / बंधइ निरयाउ महा-रंभपरिग्गहरओ रुद्दो // तिरिआउ गूढहिअओ, सढो ससल्लो तहा मगुस्साउ / पयइइ तणुकसाओ, दाणरुइ मज्झिमगुणो अ॥ अविरयमाइ सुराउं, बालतवोकामनिज्जरो जयइ / सरलो अगारविल्लो, सुहनामं अन्नहा असुहं //

This is one of the nine most important Tattvas or categories of fundamental truth in Jainism, it buing the eighth in chronological order. Soul with Karna is like gold found in earth with clay and other impurities clinging to ito Or, as heat unites with iron and water with milk, so Karma unites with soul. This uniting of the Karma with the soul, due to the causes already discussed above, is known as बंधतत्त्व or बंध and by बंधकर्म is meant the karmas which we are at present accumulating. As we have already said before the बंधतत्त्व is divided into 4 parts; see नवतत्त्वप्रकरण verse. 34 " ............बंधो चउव्विगप्पो अ / पयह छिह अणुभागप्पएसमेएहिं नायव्वो॥" Thus they are (1) प्रकृति (2) स्थिति (3) अणुभाग i... रस and (4) प्रदेश. Out of these four, the first two sofa and feefa we have already explained before; but the last

Page #253
Notes two viz. myynt and get still remain to be explained. ___ अणुभाग is thus defined : " अणुभागों रसो जेओ" i. e. अणुभाग lit. means रस or taste. As soon as a karma is accumulated by the soul, its good or bad effeot, which will give us happiness or misery, is also decided and whether this happiness or misery will be extreme or ordinary or little is also decided and this is known as रस or अणुभागबंध, To take the illustration of the sweet-ball: Just as a sweet-ball may be very sweet or little sweet or very bitter or little bitter or may be made up of much ghee or little ghee, in the same way, the happiness or misery which the good or bad karmas give us respectively may be smaller or greater according to the nature of the karma and this is known as अणुभाग or रसबंध. It is divided into 4 subdivisions viz. (1) generiff, (2) Paperita, (3) farefas and (4) ab Fitfa. (For further details see tearaten ur Mehesana Edition page 131 ). (4) azt. It is thus defined : "moet दलसंचओ." Hence प्रदेश means 'a collection or heap of fragments of Karma. The number of the fragments of the heap of which each karma is constituted, is not the same. To make it

Page #254
88 Siri Sirivalakaha more clear, let us take the usual illustration of the sweet-ball. Just as a sweet-ball is made up of a quarter of a pound or of half a pound of pounded-wheat, in the sarue way, the frag. ments of some karmas are many and those of others are few. This is what is called gaiET. Thus the fragments of the heap of the are the fewest of all the karmas. Those of ATA and 111en are equal and more than those of आयुकर्म. Still more than these are those of शाना. auiter, arcuite and parents which are also equal. Still more are those of weiter . And those of the afairs are the greatest in number-( For further details see Tarraga UT Mehesana Edition. Page 132 ). Seuratoi si [ Sk. genieten (OT) #71). 374, geturT (UT) and FTIT are also technical terms in Jainism like teafa, feufa, Sjet etc. For fear of lengthening the notes, we shall not dwell upon them in details here. Those desirous of studying them carefully and minutely should read the Karmagranthas themselves especially the second and the fourtb, which throw a very important and useful light upon these terms and explain them beautifully in the best possible manner. We shall, however, only explain here their general sense in order that the student may have a

Page #255
Notes 89 rough and brief knowledge of the same. उदयThe karma which we are actually experiencing at present is called उदयकर्म or उदय. उदीरणयारणा) It is thus defined : “अप्राप्तस्य (कर्मणः) प्रापणं उदीरणा." Hence the act of the entering of premature कर्मs into उदय (or उदयावलिका) by a sudden change into the अध्यवसायs or लेश्या of the soul is known as उदीरणा. Different from उदय and उदीरणा, there is सत्ता or सत्ताकर्म * which are the karmas which we have already accumulated previonsly (i. e. in previous life ) due to बंधकर्म. Thus उदय, उदीरणा and सत्ता together with siet are the four stages of Karma in Jainism. Their thorough and exact knowledge in brief can bu had from the following extract taken froin Muni Shree Jivavijaya's commentary (बालावबोध) on the Karmagranthas : मिथ्यात्वादिभिर्बधहेतुभिः अंजनचूर्णपूर्णसमुद्गकवनिरंतरं पुद्गलनिचिते लोके कर्मयोग्यवर्गणापुद्गलैरात्मनः क्षीरनीरवत् वह्नय यः पिंडवद्वा अन्योन्याऽनुगमाऽमेदात्मकः संबंधो बन्धः / तेषां च यथास्वस्थितिबद्धानां कर्मपुद्गलानां अपवर्तनादिकरणविशेषकृते स्वाभाविके वा स्थित्यपचये (क्षये ) सति उदयसमयप्राप्तानां विपाकवेदनं उदयः / तेषामेव कर्मपुद्गलानां अकालप्राप्तानां जीवसामर्थ्यविशेषादुदयावलिकायां प्रवेशनं उदीरणा 3 // तेषामेव कर्मपुद्गलानां बंधसंक्रमाभ्यां लब्ध्वात्मलाभानां निर्जरण: संक्रमणकृतस्वरूपप्रच्युत्यभावे सद्भावः सत्ता 4 / " Now

This is a very important and essential quality which a true Jaida must possebi. For a real Shravaka it is indispensable, so declare the Agamas : ef "Paturront *t;" also * A fres si fratte varer "ete. Thus religion consists in following the Commandments of the Jina, believing them to be perfectly true, keeping no doubts whatsoever. As Madanasundari was a true Shravika, she is degoribed here, as being endowed with the quality of possessing a true faith in the words of the Jina. St. 76. Like st. 73 this stanza is also written in the Apabhrans'a Dialect. georg Sk. THT:) lit. the highest path i. e. Liberation or Moksha. St. 77.

See Hem. VIII. 2. 186. which says " Feriz Fer Forsta afT." In sts. 82 and 88 to 97, the poet discusses the question of marriage. According to him, marriage--whether marriage by parents or choicemarriage or any other kind of marriage--is a contract already decided by our actions of former life. A certain wife or husband. is already decided in this life for a male or a female respectively according to their actions of former birth. Whatever system of marriage we adopt, we are sure to get that particular bride or bridegroom that is already decided for us and none else. Thus happiness of marriage does not depend upon any system of marriage, but it depends upon our actions of former birth. If our

Page #259
Notes 93 former actions are bad, even choico-marriagowill bring us misery and if our actions are good even marriage by parents or any other kind of marriage will bring us happiness. The: author, however, gives a better place to marriage by parents which, according to him, oultivates in our hearts the virtue of modesty which many times becomes a cause of happiness in the end as was in the case of Mayanasundari, whereas choice-marriage on the contrary brings the vices of arrogance and immodesty which often become the cause of misery in the end as was in the case of Surasundari. Save this reason, he has no system of marriage to advocate. The only thing that he wants to emphasize is that whatever system of mar. riage might be, the happiness or otherwise of it does not depend upon any such system, but it depends upon a person's actions of former birth. This is the view of the author, a Jaina Acha. rya, and hence it is the view of Jainism as well, and any believer in the theory of Karma (as propounded in the 6 Karmagranthas ) wilt certainly adopt this view.

Hence it is said to be very foul and impure here. In spite of this, it should be remembered, however, that women are not looked down upon in Jainism, and perfection and liberation are not denied to them. The Digambaras, however, hold that a woman

It is so called because in this puja or worship, eight materials are used. viz. (1) water (jala ) for Bathing the idol (2) Sandal ointment (chandana, ) (3) flowers (kusuma), (4) incense (dhupo ), (5) lamp (dipa), (6) rice with unbroken ( akshata ) ends, (7) offering of sweets, and other things generally eight in number ( which are presented before an idol and which are technically known as naivedya'), (8) fruits ( fala). These eight materials

Eight-fold Worship is explained in an another couplet which says : " 619-2692 slph, f04-2019 auf$12; 3lpen $1207 ha, ao you BELZ." Thus the object. of performing the Eight-fold Material Worship is. to enliven in our hearts a feeling for Spiritual Worship consisting of a Pure Mental Condition. Thus water among the eight things indicates that we are to make our soul pure. Sandal ointment indicates that just as it makes things crol and fragrant, in the same way we are to make our soul equanimous and virtuous as well as virtue-loving. Flowers indicate that we are to make our mind and soul as fragrant ( i. e. virtuous) and beautiful (i. e. pure) as a flower. Incense, indicates that just as fire burns fuel, in the same way by pure meditation, we are to destroy all our karmas. The lamp indicates that. just as it destroys darkness and gives light, in the same way by destroying our ज्ञानावरणीयकर्मs, we are to destroy our ignorance and obtain Omniscience. Rice with unbroken ends indicate that by this worship we shall obtain uninterrupted and indestructible bliss (i. e. Moksha ). Offering of sweet things, etc. ('naivedya') indicates that.

Among these six spect the last two are held to be over-lasting ( TT eart ) hy the Jainas and special worship is performed of the Navapada in the days of these two argys in order to propitiate it (i. e. the Navapada or the Siddhachakra ). One more special feature to be noted in these two Tags is, as is well-known, that the Jainas -sadhus and sadhwis, shrayakas, and shravikas--all read or hear the * Rasa' or * Charitra' of King Shripala translated in verse or prose in the vernacular and based on our text or similar other books in Sanskrit or Prakrit dealing with the lives of King Shripala and his queen Mayanasundari. The more learned sadhus, however, read and explain before a large audience Ratnas'ekhara's Sirivalakaha, in Prakrit i. e. the very text that we are studying, here. From this we can understand the importance of our text which has become a source of enlightenment and devotion to many a religious-minded person. One more point that still remains to be noted is that in the two

The reason is that as there are Nine Dignities, the days fixed for propitiating them are also nine-one day being allotted to the propitiation of each Dignity. Otherwise, as a matter of fact, each 375EUR has got only eight days as the word it:elf denotes and not nine, but in the Navapada-Atthais 'nine days are kept as a special case as already explained. gourite refacut ( Sk.

How happy the Jainas of to-day would be and how flourishing would be the Jaina Religion, if they would keep in their minds this excellent commandinent of the Jina !!

The object of this worship is beautifully expressed by the well-known Jaina Muni Padmavijayaji in one of his Gaj. hymns where he says: " ford SHH og alalai, 2412 Color ziyol" while singing the songs of the excellent virtues of the Jina, the virtues themselves enter our own bodies (i.e. souls) ...

The first consists in extolling the Tirthankara with a pure mental condition and good feelings of the soul, abandoning the body and keeping in mind no other motive except that of obtaining Moksha. The second consists in extolling, the Tirthankara with a view to get prosperity and happiness in this world, and with a view to please other people. The third consists in extolling the Tirthan kara with & view of overpowering our enemies etc. The last two kinds, no doubt, do fulfil our desired object, but they are not propounded by the Jinas as fit to be put into practice because they make us wander in this miserable worldly life for endless time; but only the areas worship is propounded as fit to be put into practice as it makes our souls pure and leads them to liberation.

Then he is to utter the same word a second time when he performs the cougat or stands before the idol of the Jina for dars'ana or sight which means that now he has given up all the actions which he is required to do for the purity, cleanliness etc. of the temple. Lastly he is to utter the word 'faelf 'a third time when he sits before the idol for chaityavandana which means that now he has given up even performing the material worship, and has abandoned the care eyep of his body and has completely offered himself at the feet of the

148 Siri Sirivalakaba strength and weakness. For the idea expressed here of. "sperta oftat apesat, pela mangfor afeti." ay or staan is already explained in the notes on St. 66. ( Sk. 1). The principle of the liberation of the soul by the complete destruction of the karmas which have stuck to it. Like et, it is one of the Nine Tativas of Jainism, it being the last i, e. the ninth in chronological order. According to Jainism, a 'jiva' gets Moksha when it destroys all its: karmas good as well as bad, which is done by practising 'Nirjara '; and the soul, which has thus destroyed all its karmas completely, becomos a Siddha or Liberated One-the First Pada or Dignity in Jainism; and all such souls, who have destroyed all their karmas good as well as bad--and achieved emancipation are their Parmatmas or Gods fit to be worshipped by all those who are desirous of getting emancipation and becoming "Siddhas', thus getting the same Pada or Dignity which those High Souls or Paramatmas whom they worship, have achieved. This is in brief the Jaina conception of Moksha. If we were to explain it in full, it would cover many big volumes. Hence we shall here rest satisfied only with this brief explanation of Moksha given above. Those desirous of knowing it in fall should read the act o r and other important books dealing with the topic.

As it is said in a Guj. idiom, 'the world is two-coloured ( flzoll frul).' It is such that it flatters the prosperous though going wrong, and kicks the roiserable though going right. We have seen in the beginning of our text that the people of Ujjaini flattered Surasundari and praised the S'aiva Religion because at that time the stars were in her favour; and they scandalized and censured Madanasundari even though she took the side of Truth, and a blame was put upon the Jaina Religion which she patronized. Now here the same people praise her and the Jaina Religion, because now the stars are in her favour. Hence it is said, 'everybody will make friends with you in prosperity, but none will come to you in adversity'-such is always the nature of the world,

Helico persons dering for Pruth and Justice should not be guided by the opinion of the world which is always fickle, and thus :swerve from the true path that they have taken; but with courge and strength of the soul; they should go on traversing their path of Truth and Justice without caring either for fame or .censure, and they will find in the end that the victory will be theirs as was, as we have seen, in the case of Madanasundari, who though slighted off in the beginning by her father and the people of Ujjaini was honoured by them in the end, and the people called her a great satee, thus her victory being complete. It should be noted, however, that it is not the praise or consure that counts and makes a man great, but the courage and soul-power that he shows.
