The study of fundamentals is, therefore, inescapable for anyone desirous of studying any religious philosophy. Tattvarthasutra by Vacaka Unasvati is a unique compendium that presents all Jaina fundamentals in one volume in the form of precise and crisp aphorisms. Its study is inescable for a student of Jaina philosophy. Its value is all the more pronounced as it is accepted as an authoritative text by both - Svetambara and Digambara -- traditions of the Jainas. In keeping with its importance a number of commentaries have been written, since its composition some time in the 1st to 3rd century AD, besides the auto commentary (Svopajna Bhasya) by the aphorist himself, by many a scholarly commentators belonging to the monastic as well as lay denominations. However, more important commentaries on this work are - Sarvarthasiddhi, Tattvartha Rajavartika, Tattvartha Slokavartika and Haribhadriya Vrtti. Some of the prominent contemporary commentaries and translations include those by Acarya Atinaramji, Acarya Ghasilalji, Upadhyaya Kevalmuni, Pt. Sukhlalji Sanghvi, Pt. Khubcandji Siddhantasastri. The LD Institute of Indology has also brought out an English translation of the commentary by Pt. Sukhlalji. However, as all these works are quite lengthy and beyond the comprehension of an uninitiated layman, a need has always been felt for a shorter translation cum commentary in Hindi as well Page #11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ X: FOREWORD as in English that could be easily understood and which did not sacrifice clarity for the sake of brevity. I am happy and satisfied to see the present work by Col. D.S.Baya 'Sreyas' and feel that this work will be able to meet this long standing requirement to a large extent. The author has very studiously imbibed the essence of Tattvarthasutra and presented it in just sufficient details that are easily comprehensible. The bilingual character of this work makes it suitable for readers who are proficient in either language or in both. The comprehensive and well-researched 'INTRODUCTION' is very informative and shows the depth of the author's scholarship and grasp of the subject. I am certain that this work will fulfill its intended purpose of facilitating the study of Jaina fundamentals by the inquisitive readers of all categories. I am also aware of more than a dozen scholarly works, on Jaina subjects, by the author who is fast emerging as a serious student of Jaina studies. I hope and wish that his untiring zeal and prolific pen will continue to enrich the Jaina lore as hither to fore.

BIBLIOGRAPHY 161 162 163 164 165 iv xxviii Page #20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ TATTVARTHASUTRA INTRODUCTION T he study of any religious philosophy can never commence 1 without knowing about the fundamental foundation-stones on which its magnificent edifice stands. When we talk about Jainism, we talk about its fundamentals to start with. Before Umasvati these fundamentals were scattered amongst twelve primary canons, an equal number of secondary ones and a number of tertiary and subsequent canonical works that came about over time. It was an arduous task for any student of Jainism to find them from a maze of scriptures. Only the very studious ones could succeed in their endeavour. Umasvati must have felt this and he, surely, was imbued with a missionary spirit and the intellectual equipment to undertake the task of compiling a work of monumental magnitude and import to facilitate the study of this most essential part. What materialized from his pen and genius is this work of utmost gravity and importance - 'Tattvarthadhigama Sutrani or A Collection Of Aphorisms For The Comprehension Of Fundamental Verities'. Tattvartha Sutra - Tattvartha Sutra is a treatise on the study of the fundamental verities as enunciated in the Jaina branch of Indian religious philosophical study. For obtaining a detailed external as well as internal introduction of this treatise, we have to consider the following four issues based on its text -- 1. Motivational literature, 2. The objective behind its creation, 3. Its style and 4. Its Page #21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ XX: TATTVARTHA SUTRA subject matter. Motivation - The agamic and other factors that motivated the author to create this treatise - "Tattvartha Sutra - can be divided into the following four parts: - 1. The Canonical Heritage - As the Vedas are considered as authentic in the Vedic philosophy, the "Agamas'or the canonical texts are considered as principally authentic in the Jaina philosophy. The authenticity of the other works is subject to their adherence to the Agamic texts. Vacaka Umasvati had well inherited this Agamic heritage from his spiritual masters and, thus had a clear and weHorganized knowledge thereof. 2. Mastery Over Samskrta Language -- Being born a Brahmin and by virtue of his residence and peregrinations in the areas of Kasi, Magadha, Bihara etc., which were the traditional strong-holds of Samskrta scholars, he had gained a mastery over the Samskrta language that was the main language of the cra and the area. By his facility in this language, besides Prakrta, Vacaka Umasvati enriched his fund of knowledge with a detailed study of Vedic as well as Buddhist literature of the time. 3. The Effect Of Other Philosophies - By gaining an insight into the Vedic and Buddhist literature, the author came to know their various subjects and thought processes. He was not only deeply impressed by their contents and forms but was also sufficiently motivated to compile a treatisc, in the Saniskrta language, on the fundamentals of Jaina philosophical thought, in the concise and philosophical Sutra - Aforistic style hitherto Page #22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ INTRODUCTION : XXI unknown in the realm of Jaina philosophical literature. 4. His Genius - Given the aforementioned three motivating factors, the author could not have created this treatise if he was lacking in the gift of genius with which he was abundantiy endowed. His gerius, therefore, was also a potent motivating factor. The Objective Whenever an Indian author of spiritual genre - be it Kanada of the 'Vaisesika', Gautama of the Nyaya', Krsna of Sarkhya', or the exponents of the 'Yoga', 'Brahma-Mimamsa' or the four Arya-satya (noble truths) of the Buddhists - creates a treatise on his subject, he keeps the ultimate objective of spiritual salvation in front of him; even when he writes a work on as wide and varied mundane and metaphysical subjects as economics, libido, astronomy or medicine or spiritual subjects as knowledge of fundamental verities, yoga, etc. All such treatises begin with the enunciation of spiritual salvation as their ultimate aim and conclude them in the similar fashion as well. Jaina philosophical works have also been created in keeping with this tradition and so has Vacaka Umasvati created this treatise with an ultimate objective of spiritual salvation for the faithful readers of his work. The Style - Before Umasvati the Jaina scriptural treatises were created in the form of lengthy, descriptive and repetitive aphorisms (Sutras) just like the Bauddha-Pitakas. On the other hand the Brahminical literature created by the learned Brahmin scholars were in concise Samiskrta aphorisms. This latter style had come to Page #23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ XXII : TATTVARTHA SUTRA be very popular and well established in the scholastic circles of the time and Vacaka Umasvati, too, was attracted towards and felt compelled to follow this style of the contemporary scholars of other religious philosophies. As far as is known, Vacaka Umasvati was the first to follow this style of concise Samiskrta aphorisms in the field of Jaina scriptural literature. However, this style became well established and continued to be followed by the Jaina scholars - both of the Digambara and the Svetambara traditions - of the later years. This treatise, consisting of 344 concise Samskita aphorisms, has been divided into ten chapters. Umasvati has stated these aphorisms in the form of established principles without giving any reason or justification thereof. This style is in contrast to the styles of Kanada of the Vaisesika and Gautama of the Nyaya philosophies, that supports each aphorism therein with detailed reasons and justifications, and follows the style of the Yoga philosopher Patanjali who states them without giving any reason or argument in their justification. This style creates a very strong impression that the Jaina tradition is predominantly based on faith and it accepts the words of its Prophets-propounders (Tirthankaras) without any room for doubt or skepticism. The Subject Matter - While the Vaisesika, Sankhya, and Vedanta philosophics lay predominant emphasis on the matter of worth knowing (Ineyatattva)'and the Yoga and Buddhist philosophies do so on the matter of conduct (Caritra), Bhagvan Mahavira laid cqual emphasis on Page #24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ INTRODUCTION : XXIII both these matters - knowledge and conduct or Ineya-tattva and Caritra - in his expositions. On the one hand He dwells on the subject of the universe by taking up the expositions of Jiva-tattva (Animate world) and Ajiva-tattva (Inanimate world) that together make up the universe and constitute the knowledgeworthy part (Ineya-tattva); and on the other He takes up the exposition of the conduct part (Caritra) comprising 'Asrava or influx', 'Bandha or bondage', 'Samvara or stoppage' and 'Nirjara or separation and correlates the two by making the belief on them as the right-faith or the right view. He goes a step further when He unequivocally states that this right faith (right view or right inclination, right attitude, etc) is an integral part of the path to spiritual salvation that comprises right view, right knowledge and right conduct and that a complete separation of the karma-matter from the soul itself is salvation. Thus Jaina exposition of its fundamentals means an equal consideration of the knowledgeworthy and conduct (Ineyatattva and Caritra). In this analysis the Lord (Tirtharkara) included the fundamentals of spiritual merit (Punya) as well as that of demerit (Papa) and gave place to the nine" fundamental verities and prescribed the steadfast, unwavering faith on them as the primary condition for being a Jaina - ordained or lay. A householder or a renouncer can be called a true believer of the I Tattvarthasraddhanamsamyagdarsanam || 1/2. 2 Samyagdarsanajnanacaritranimoksamargaha || 1/1. Krtsanakarmaksayo moksaha || 10/3. Only seven fundamentals have been described in this treatise. The other two - Punya-tattva (Merit) and Papa-tattva (Demerit) have been considered as part and parcel of the Asrava-tattva (Influx) and Bandha-tattva (bondage). Page #25 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ XXIV: TATTVARTHA SUTRA Lord's faith only if he believes that these fundamental verities, as enunciated by the Lord are the truth even if he has not gained sufficient knowledge about them. It is for this reason that in the Jaina philosophy there is nothing more important than the knowledge of and faith in these nine fundamentals. Also, it is because of this reason that Vacaka Umasvati chose the description of these fundamentals as the subject matter of this treatise. However, he limited his discussion to seven fundamentals taking the other two - Punya and Papa as included within the ambit of influx (Asrava) and stoppage (Sanivara). As, besides the ultimate objective of attaining spiritual salvation by the readers of his work, he also aimed at facilitating the understanding of this rather complex subject, he entitled this treatise as 'Tattvarthadhigama Sutrani' meaning "Aphorisms For The Comprehension Of The Fundamental Verities'. In this monumental work the author has not only struck a synthesis of the two much talked about approaches taken by the exponents of other philosophies of the time - the 'Analysis Of The Knowledge Worthy (Ineya-Tattva Mimamsa)' and 'Analysis of The Conduct (Caritra Mimanisa) but went a step further to include the analysis of the knowledge (Inana Mimanisa) and organized the sutras accordingly. In sum, we can say that Vacaka Umasvati has included the analyses of the knowledgeworthy, the knowledge and the conduct, in accordance with the Jaina view-point, as the subject matter of this treatise. The Division Of The Subject Matter The author has divided the chosen subject matter, in ten Page #26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ chapters thus in the first chapter he has analyzed the 'Knowledge (Jnana Mimanisa), the second to the fourth chapters contain an analysis of the 'Knowledgeworthy' (Jneya Mimanisa) and he has devoted the remaining five chapters to the analysis of the 'Conduct (Caritra Mimamsa). We shall consider the essence of these three analyses in the subsequent paragraphs. - INTRODUCTION: XXV --- The Essence Of The Jnana Mimamsa In the first chapter the author has included eight main features relating to the knowledge. They are 1. The division of knowledge as standpoints and proofs, 2. Statement of five types of knowledge Sensory Perception (Mati-jnana), Scriptural Knowledge (Srut-jnana), Clairvoyant Perception (Avadhi-jnana), Telepathic Perception (Manahparyaya-jnana) and Omniscience (Kevala-jnana) as found in the canonical literature and their classification as direct and indirect knowledge, 3. The factors leading to Mati-jnana, 4. Description of the Canonical works that are accepted as proofs in the Jaina tradition, as the Srutajnana, 5. Description of the three direct and divine types of cognition Avadhi-jnana, Manahparyaya-jnana and Kevala-jnana, bringing out their sub-types and mutual differences, 6. The order of ascendance of the five types of cognition, their subjects and the possibility of their simultaneous occurrence in a soul, 7. Statement of the types of cognition which also have their false counterparts (Viparyaya jnana) that may be confused as knowledge and the reasons for their rightness and falseness, 8. The types and sub-types of the stand-points (Nayas). Page #27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ XXVI: TATTVARTHA SUTRA The Essence Of The Jneya Mimamisa - The Ineya Mimanisa mainly deals with the two elemental matters that constitute the universe, namely Jiva-tattva (Animate matter or soul) and Ajivatattva (Inanimate matter or everything other than the soul). The description and analysis of the Jiva-tattva is .contained in three chapters - from the second to the fourth. The second chapter contains a description of the general form of the animate world with that of the worldly souls, their types and sub-types and the allied subjects. The third one deals with the hellish creatures living in the seven levels of the nether world (Adholoka) and the humans and subhuman beings (Tiryanca) that reside in the middle world (Madhyaloka). The fourth chapter carries an account of the gods and grandeour of the heavens located in the upper world (Urdhvaloka). Also, by prevarication, these chapters dwell upon the topographies of these three worlds. The fifth chapter deals with the material world of the cosmos, giving detailed descriptions of each of the five inanimate kinds of matter with their characteristics, their general forms and their similarities and dissimilarities. The Ineya Mimamsa deals with the following sixteen issues : The second chapter deals with - 1. The Jiva-tattva in general, 2. The types of worldly beings, 3. The sensory organs, their subjects and their occurrence in different types of living beings, 4. The state of the living beings between death and rebiith, 5. The types of births and their classification based on the places where they occur and the types of creatures that have such births, 6. The types of bodies, their occupants, their order of Page #28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ INTRODUCTION : XXVII ascendance and the possibility of their simultaneous occurrence for any living being and 7. The sex division of various classes of living beings and their immutable life-spans. The third and the fourth chapters have the descriptions of the - 8. Levels of the nether-world, the hellish creatures living therein, their life-spans, etc., 9. The geographical description of the middle-world detailing its continents, oceans, mountains, areas, etc. as well as that of the human and the sub-human beings dwelling therein, 10. Various types of heavenly gods, their families, their pleasures and grandeours, their life-spans and a description of the different levels of heavens in the upper-world. The fifth chapter contains descriptions of - 11. Types of (inanimate) matter and their mutual similarities and dissimilarities, their location and expanse, and their functions, 12. The general description of the tangible inanimate matter (Pudgala), its types and the processes of their formation, 13. The reasoned forms of the reality and eternity, 14. Possibility and impossibility of the material bonding, 15. The general characteristic of the matter in terms of its quality and mode, and 16. The characteristics of quality and change and types of changes. The Essentials Of The Caritra Mimanisa - The Caritra Mimarsa, contained in the remaining five chapters of this treatise, deals with issues such as - 'Which actions and activities are deplorable and abandonable?', 'What is the root cause of such activities?', 'What are the repercussions to the perpetrators of such activities?', "How can they be given up?', 'Which type of activities should be adopted in their stead?', and 'What are the Page #29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ XXVIII : TATTVARTHA SUTRA immediate, intermediate and the ultimate fruits of such desirable activities?' The following eleven issues, dealt with in the last five chapters deserve serious consideration by a student of Caritra Mimanisa: The sixth chapter deals with - 1. The form and cause of influx (Asrava) of the karma-matter into the soul-field. In the seventh chapter the author deals with - 2. The vows, the types of vowers or renouncers, ways of achieving steadfast observance of the vows, 3. Forms of flaws such as violence, untruth, stealingsexual indulgence and undue attachment to accumulation, 4.Possible excesses of the vows, and 5. Types of charities and the reasons for their order of ascendance. The eighth chapter - 6. The principal causes of karmic bondage and the types of bondages. The ninth chapter details - 7. Various means to achieve the stoppage of influx of karma-matter into the soul-field as well as 8. those of separation thereof from it. 9. It also outlines the order of ascendance between various types of spiritual practitioners endowed with the right vision (Samyagdisti). The tenth chapter deals with - 10. The spiritual accomplishments leading to the achievement of omniscience (Kevala-jnana) and the spiritual salvation itself and 11. describes the ultimate destination of the ultimately accomplished (Siddha), upon their deaths, in their last worldly birth. In the context of Jaina Caritra Mimanisa, it is noteworthy that while the three philosophies - Jaina, Buddhist and Yoga - Page #30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ INTRODUCTION : XXIX have a place for, both, the knowledge and conduct as means to achieve spiritual salvation, it is the Jaina philosophy that considers the (Right) conduct as basic and the (Right) knowledge as a supporting requirement as opposed to the other two philosophies that consider the knowledge as the basic requirement and conduct as an appendage to the knowledge. It is, therefore, natural that all Jaina scriptures are predominantly devoted to detailing the Rightconduct for the Jaina adherents - both, householders and ordained - down to its finest nuances as part of their Caritra Mimanisa. No wonder, the authors of Jaina canonical as well as explanatory literature have vexed themselves eloquent on this, the most important, factor for achieving the ultimate accomplishment of Moksa', 'Nirvana', 'Siddhatva' or spiritual salvation. Vacaka Umasvati is no exception. The Author - The author of this highly valued treatise on the most important subject of Tattvartha or "The Fundamentals Of Jaina Philosophy', Vacaka Umasvati is equally recognized by all the sects of Jainas as such. However, he is also known by his aliases - Umasvami and Grddhapiccha - by the Digambara tradition of the Jainas. Though both the sects -- Svetambara and Digambara claim him to be a member of their respective sects, there is enough evidence to the effect that he was a Svetambara monk ranking as Vacaka or teacher (Upadhyaya - well versed in the study of precanons OR Purvavid ). "Vinyamulao dhammo". - Nayadhaminakahao, 5. Page #31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ XXX : TATTVARTHA SUTRA When we discuss a learned author of a work of such monumental import, it does not suffice to consider, in isolation, either his family by birth or his lineage of learning. We have to consider both. Umasvati's Place And Family Of Birth - According to the laudatory composition (Prasasti) of the Tattvarthasutra, it has been deduced that Umasvati was born in a village called Nyagrodhika whose present whereabouts are lost to the oblivion of time. However, as Kusumpur - the present day Patna in the state of Bihar - has been mentioned as the place where the Tattvarthasutra was composed, it may be surmised that this place might not be too far away from Patna or the Magadha region of the days of yore. His parentage is more certain and it is known that he was born a brahmin from the womb of a mother belonging to the family of "Vatsis' and sired by father 'Svati from the family of Kaubhisanis. Dr. Suzuko Ohira has summarized these findings as The samskrta text of the laudatory composition, ibid, is as follows : Vacakamukhyasya sivasriyaha prakasayasasaha prasisyena | Sisyena ghosanandiksamanasyaikadasangavidaha || 1 || Vacanaya ca maha racakaksamanamundapadasisyasya Sisyena vacakacaryamulanamnaha prathitakirtehe || 2 || Nyagrodhikaprasutena viharata puravare kusumanamni | Kaubhisanina svatitanayena vatsisutenardhyam || 3 ||| Arhadvacanam samyaggurukramenagatam samupardhaya | Dukhartam ca duragamavihatamatim lokamavalokya || 4 || Idamuccairnagaravacakena sattvanukampaya drbdham Tattvarthadhigamakhyai spastamumasvatina sastram || 5 || Yastattvarthadhigamakhyam jnasyti ca karisyate ca tatroktam | Soavyabadhasukhakhyam prapsyatyacirena paramartham || 6 || Page #32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ INTRODUCTION : XXXI follows: - a. Father Mother - Svati of Kaubhisani gotra, Vatsi (Siddhasena comments that her name was Uma and her gotra was Vatsa), Nyagrodhika.? C. Place of Birth - Prof. Sagrmal Jain is of the view that Umasvati was born at a place called Nagod (current name of Nyagrodhika) in the central India (M.P.). S Umasvati's Master-Disciple Tradition And Lineage - : While the Digambara tradition claims that the author of * Tattvarthadhigama Sutrani - Vacaka Umasvati - was a disciple of Kundakundacarya, the Svetambaras believe him to be the teacher and master of Syamacarya, the author of Prajnapana Sutra. However, there is no mention in any source earlier than that of the tenth century AD that says that Umasvami, the author of Tattvartha Sutra, was the disciple of Kundakundacarya. All such sources that have come to notice are circa 10th century A.D. and later. Dependable mention of Umasvati being the author of Tattvartha Sutra is, however, available in Sveta-mbara literature of the eighth century A.D. It is not authentically known that Umasvati was the teacher of Syamacarya if we discount the 16-17th century roll of A Study Of 'Tattvarthasutra With Bhasya', Dr. Suzuko Ohira, L.D. Institute Of Indology, Ahmedabad, 1982, p. 42. Tattvarthasutra Aur Uski Parampara, Prof. Sagarmal Jain, Parshvanatha Shodha Peeth, Varanasi, 1994, pp. 140-142. Page #33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ XXXII : TATTVARTHA SUTRA masters (Pattavali) by Dharmasagara. The laudatory composition (Prasasti) of Tattvartha Sutra, mentioned earlier, clearly states that Vacaka Umasvati was ordained as a monk by Ghosanandi Ksamamana who had mastered eleven primary cancns. His teacher (Vacakacarya) was Mula and the grandteacher was Mahavacakacarya Mundpada and that he was from the Uccanagara branch of monks. These details can be summarized as follows:' - a. Preceptor for initiation - Ekadasangavid Ghosanandi Ksmana b. Grand-preceptor - Vacakamukhya Sivasri c. Preceptor Teacher - Vacakacarya Mula d. Grand-preceptor Teacher - Mahavacakacarya Mundapad ksamana According to Prof. Sagarmal Jain the monastic tradition of Umasvati (Uccairnagari sakha) derived its name from a place called Uncehara, which is, again, in the central India and not very far from his birth-place Nagod.!' However, he could have written the auto-commentary (Svopajna Bhasya) in Kusumpur." Doubts have been expressed about the validity of the laudatory composition itself which now appears at the end of the Tattvartha Bhasya the auto-commentary by the aphorist himself, but there is no reason to believe that it has not been composed by Umasvati himself. Well-known scholars like Dr. Herman Jacobi are of the view that it is Umasvati's own composition, a fact that 9 A Study of Tattvarthasutra With Bhasya, ibid, p. 42. Tattvarthasutra Aur Uski Parampara, ibid, pp. 136-140. Ibid, p. 142. 11 Page #34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ INTRODUCTION : XXXIII can be ascertained from the preface to the German translation of * Tattvartha Sutra'by him. The Original Version Of Tattvartha Sutra - Based on study of various manuscripts - both of Svetambara and Digambara traditions, Dr. Suzuki Ohira has concluded that the Svetambara Sbhasya recension was the original one, which was modified and rearranged by the Digambara masters down the ages.12 Further, she adds, "The text presented in the svetambara camp is the archetype from which the Digambara recension has been derived".13 Based on his analysis of various factors, Prof. Sagarmal Jain has also reached a similar conclusion. 14 Umasvati's Period - As there is no evidence available that may be indicative of the period in which Vacaka Umasvati lived and worked in the laudatory composition mentioned earlier; it is difficult to estimate it with desired certainty. Likewise, there is no other dependable source available as yet which can so determine his period. Under such circumstances any estimate of his period is based on indirect evidence such as tne branch of monks in which he was ordained and educated, the periods of the earliest commentators on the *Tattvartha Sutra', comparison of his style of writing with those of the other philosophical works, etc. It is difficult to ascertain as to when the 'Uccanagara' 12 A Study of Tattvarthasutra With Bhasya, ibid, pp. 5, 6. 13 Ibid, p. 23. 14 Tattvarthasutra Aur Uski Parampara, ibid, p. 19. Page #35 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ XXXIV : TATTVARTHA SUTRA branch of monks, mentioned in the laudatory composition ibid, to which Vacaka Umasvati belonged originated. On the basis of information available in the roll of masters (Sthaviravali) in the Kalpa Sutra it has been deduced that the period of Arya Santisrenika, the originator of this branch, is around the middle of the second century BC. This sets the limit that Vacaka Umasvati's period cannot be earlier than this." One of the earliest commentaries on 'Tattvartha Sutra'. besides the author's own 'Bhasya', is the Sarvarthasiddhi by Pujyapada. The scholars have fixed his period as the fifth century AD. It can be concluded that Vacaka Umasvati 's period was some time before this. Pt. Sukhlal Sanghvi has concluded that the earliest period of Vacaka Umasvati could be the 1st century VE and the latest could be the 3rd or the 4th century of the same era.16 Dr. Nemi Candra Shastri, in his well researched work on 'Critical History Of Prakrit Language And Literature', has quoted that on the basis of a Samskrta verse in 'Vidvajjana Bodhaka Grantha', Vacaka Umasva ti could be a contemporary of Kundakundacarya (Circa 243 AD)!? According to Dr. Suzuko Ohira the date of Tattvartha Sutra and consequently that of Vacaka Umasvati is somewhere in the latemiddle of the century AD.18 Dr. Sagarmal Jain is of the view that Umasvati lived and worked sometime between the 1.

For. Private & Personal Use Only Page #36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ INTRODUCTION : XXXV and the 3rd century AD. From the above mentioned, it can be deduced within the acceptable limits of reason that Umasvati's period was sometime between the first century BC and the fifth century AD. Vacaka Umasvati's Learning - Vacaka Umasvati, the first known author of the Jaina religio-philosophical works in the Samskrta language, is accredited with a profound knowledge of Jaina canons on the subjects of the Right-knowledge (Jnana), the knowledgeworthy (Jneya), the Right--conduct (Acara), Cosmography, etc. The way in which he has composed the Tattvartha Sutra in the form of concise and deft sanskrta aphorisms testifies to his mastery over this language of the contemporary scholastic works. He abundantly justifies his traditional title of Vacaka', which means 'learned in the Pre-canons (Purvas)'. A detailed study of the Tattvartha'and its 'Bhasya'reveals his deep study and understanding of not only the Jaina canonical literature but also those of other philosophies such as Nyaya, Vaisesika, Yoga, Buddhists, etc. Although the Svetambara tradition believes him to be the author of five hundred books and, though, even now some works are known to be his creations, it is not possible to say anything with certainty in this regard. However, based on the linguistic analysis and thought process behind its contents, the 'Prasamarati Prakarana' is certainly his work.'' Siddhasena also confirms this view. 19 Preface to Tattvartha Sutra, Sukhlal Sanghvi, pp. 16, 17. Page #37 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ XXXVI : TATTVARTHA SUTRA There is no room for doubt in the fact that he was learned in the scriptural knowledge contained in eleven primary canons (Arga Sutras) and that he has compiled all the essential elements of the words of the prophet in his Tattvartha Sutra without leaving out anything of import. It is for this reason that Acarya Hema Candra, better known as the omniscient of the present era (Kalikala Sarvajna), has described him as the best compiler of the Canonical knowledge. Also, it is for this reason that authors of explanatory works across the Svetambara-Digambara divide have been motivated to write commentaries on his Tattvartha Sutra. Miscellaneous Coclusions About The Tattvartha Sutra - In his scholarly and investigative work on Tattvartha Sutra and its tradition, Prof. Sagarmal Jain has reached the following conclusions: _20 a. Tattvartha Sutra (TS) is also known as Tattvartha dhigama Sutra and many other names such as Moksa Sastra etc Ts is a composition by Umasvati, a monk of the north Indian Nirgrantha tradition. Vacaka, Grddhapiccha, etc were his titles. Umasvati's period was somewhere between the 1st and the 4th century AD. As the Svetambara-Digamara schism had not become pronounced by that time, it is fruitless to argue whether Umasvati was from Svetambara, 20 Tattvarthasutra Aur Uski Parampara, ibid, pp. 142-147. Page #38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ e. g. h. i. j. INTRODUCTION: XXXVII Digambara or the Yapaniya tradition. However, it is certain that he was not from the clothless tradition of the south, which later came to be known as the Digambara tradition. It is true that some of the beliefs mentioned in the TS go against the Svetambara beliefs while some others go against the Digambara ones. Probably these were the beliefs of the Uccanagara branch of monks at the time. It is not logical to advance the Svetambara or the Digambara canonical works as the basis of the composition of the TS as neither the Digambara Satkhandagama etc had been composed by that time nor the Svetambara Agamas had been reduced to their presently available form. The Bhasya version of the TS is the original one from which the Digambara version was subsequently derived by some master of the Yapaniya tradition. It is this version that was taken by Pujyapada Devanandi for his Sarvarthsiddhi commentary. The composition of the Bhasya by the aphorist himself is a foregone conclusion. The mention of clothes and pots in the Bhasya is not in favour of the Svetambara tradition bu is indicative of the position that prevailed in the 1st to the 3rd century AD when this work was composed. Umasvati's TS is a fore-runner of the works of both Page #39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ XXXVIII: TATTVARTHA SUTRA k. the Svetambara and the Yapaniya traditions and is from the north Indian Uccanagara branch of monks that was not against clothed monasticism. He was certainly not from the south Indian clothless tradition and his place of birth Nyagrodhika and that of the origin of his Uccanagar branch of monks Uccakalpanagar have been respetively identified as Nagod and Uncaihara in the central India. Commentaries And Commentators - - Tattvartha Sutra enjoys such a significant and paramount place of foremost gravity within Jaina works of fundamental profundity that learned scholars from both the Svetambara and Digambara traditions have felt compelled to write commentaries on this monumental work of a genius that was Vacaka Umasvati. Its commentaries have been written on as vide and varied linguistic landscape as in Samskrta, Hindi, Colloquial languages, etc. and translated into English, German etc. What follows is a brief resume of its commentaries and commentators that enjoy a historical perspective of some importance. Bhasya This commentary, in Samskrta language, was written by the venerable author himself and it follows that it does not have any difference in the text followed from the original text. The same, however, cannot be said of some other commentaries, by the commentators of Digambara pursuit that have followed the text adopted by Pujyapada, the author of Sarvarthasiddhi Today, the Page #40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ INTRODUCTION: XXXIX Svetambara tradition follows the version of Tattvartha text that is contained in the Bhasya as the authentic one. It stands to reason if we accept the fact the Bhasya is the work of the author himself. This version has 344 sutras. The Bhasya, it seems was written before the development of philosophical style in Jaina writings and is, therefore, more in conformity with the style of the text which is more factual than philosophical. The noted Jaina scholar of Digambara tradition, Pt. Nathuramji Premi has, in his monumental work 'Jaina Sahitya Aur Itihasa' accepted the fact that the Bhasya is a commentary by the author only (Auto-commentary or Svopajnya tika)21. This has also been corrobotrated by the conclusion drawn, in this regard, by Prof. Sagarmal Jain in his book, 'Tattvarthasutra Aur Uski Parampara 22 Sarvartha Siddhi 21 -- This samskrta commentary, by the Digambara master, Acarya Pujyapada alias Devanandi, follows a text which is somewhat different from that followed by the Bhasya. The differences are in the total number of sutras (it has 357 as compared to 344 of Bhasya), and difference in the texts of some of the aphorisms. Its explanations and comments are more detailed in respect of grammatical, substantial and philosophical content. All other commentators of Digambara pursuit have followed the text adopted by Pujyapada in this commentary for the simple reason that it was more in conformity with their sectarian beliefs than the 22 -- Qouted from 'Tattvarthasutra Aur Uski Parampara by Prof. Sagarmal Jain, p. 67. Ibid., p. 68. www.jainelibrary.org Page #41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ XL: TATTVARTHA SUTRA other version contained in the Bhasya. Raja Vartika - Vartika means a logical or explanatory commentary. There are two vartikas available on the Tattvartha Sutra. Digambara Acarya Bhatta Akalarka wrote this commentary based on the texts and explanations in the Sarvartha Siddhi. He made full use of the groundwork done by Pujyapada and hence his comments and explanations are more detailed and substantial as compared to the Sarvarthasiddhi. Sloka Vartika - A work of yet another Digambara Acarya Vidyananda, this vartika is based and benefited from both the Sarvarthasiddhi and the Raja Vartika. No doubt, therefore, that this commentary, composed in the form of samskita verses, is more comprehensive than either of the two. It does not stop at explaining the Jaina philosophical nuances but proceeds to demolish the arguments attacking the Jaina thought by the earlier and contemporary scholars of other philosophical schools, in general, and that by Mimanisaka Kumaril in particular. Gandhahasti Vrtti - Out of ntwo complete and one incomplete vrttis available, the largest and the most philosophical is the one by Acarya Siddhasena (Circa 7th to 8th century AD), who was a great logician and spared no opportunity to defeat and demolish the arguments of other philosophers who attacked the Jaina thought. This sub Page #42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ INTRODUCTION : XLI commentary strictly adheres to the author's own Bhasya, and further amplifies and explains its content dwelling upon the philosophical issues involved therein. Its 18000 slokas (Saniskrta verses) make it the largest ever sub-commentary written on the Bhasya. Haribhadriya Vrtti - As the name suggests this sub-commentary, also on the Bhasya, was written by the greatest scholar of his time Acarya Haribhadra Suri (Circa 8th century AD), of 1460 compositions' fame. He is, however, believed to have written only the first five chapters and two more commentators then completed the work after him. This work not only follows the Bhasya but also the Siddhaseniya vrtti and is also purported to be a retrieval of other incomplete vrttis of earlier unknown scholars. The Incomplete Vrtti - There is yet another vitti, by Upadhyaya Yasovijaya, is grossly incomplete and covers only the first chapter of the Bhasya. However, the scholastic genius of Yasovijaya, that distinguished him as the most authentic scholar amongst not only the Svetambara Jaina scholars but across the board amongst all the contemporary scholars, make it worthy of mention here. Other Commentaries And Commentators - a. Cirantana muni, a Svetambara monk (Circa later than 14' century AD), wrote his notes (Tippana) on the Tattvartha Sutra. b. Ratna Singh (Circa later than 16 century AD), also wrote Page #43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ XLII: TATTVARTHA SUTRA cursory notes on the original text. c. Gani Yasovijaya, in his comments written in the Gujarati language has followed the text according to the Sarva rtha-siddhi but drawn meanings, therefrom, in accordance with the Svetambara belief thus establishing the fact that the Digambara text can truly be interpreted as per the canonical literature upheld by the Svetambaras and denied by the Digambaras. d. Srutasagara, a Digambara master of the 16th century AD has also written a commentary on the Tattvartha Sutra. Besides these many a scholar has written on this unique work of spiritual importance. Some Digambara scholars have also written commentaries in Kannada language. Contemporary Commentaries -- No introduction can be complete without mentioning some contemporary commentaries written by well-known scholars of Jaina philosophy. Some of these are - a. Acarya Sri Ghasilalji Maharaja has authored a highly scholarly commentary on the Tattvartha Sutra under the title 'Tattvarthasutrani'. It is unique in format and presentation in that the author has not only rearranged the aphorisms (sutras) under more logical groups but has also rephrased some of them to make them more clearly comprehensible. The commentary is in Sanskrta and is ably supported by Hindi and Gujarati translations. Muni Kahaiyalalji who is a lcamed scholar in his own right has coordinated its publication. It is a valuable addition to Page #44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ INTRODUCTION : XLIII b. the existing commentaries on this monumental work. Upadhyaya Sri Atmaramji Maharja (later Acarya) has compiled a valuable reference-book which links the aphorisms of the Tattvartha Sutra with the agamic texts similar in textual form or meaning. This work is the first of its kind and provides an insight into the fundamentals of Jainism from a comprehensive standpoint. Its value also lies in the fact that it takes the TS text accepted by the Digambara tradition and then reconciles each aphorism with the texts of the canonical literature of the Svetambara tradition, thus proving that there is no difference what-so-ever in the basic tenets of Jainism notwithstanding the apparent lack of accord in these two traditions, Upadhyaya Sri Kewalmuniji has, in his commentary on the Tattvartha Sutra, combined the genii of the earlier two scholars and written a very comprehensive commentary in Hindi as well as given copious agamic references pertaining to each aphorism. Though the style of presentation is lucid and easily understandable by the laymen, it provides enough material for satisfying the thirst for knowledge of the more serious and scholarly students of Jaina thought. Two comprehensive appendices, including the one containing a glossary of Jaina terms, increases the utility of the work manyfold and makes it useful even for the uninitiated. Pt. Sukhalal Sanghavi has written a detailed commentary on the Tattvartha Sutra following its original C. d. Page #45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ XLIV : TATTVARTHA SUTRA text as per the Bhasya but also indicating the differences from the Sarvarthasiddhi and other versions. Duly supplemented by ample footnotes, it serves the purpose of a reference book on the subject for the studious while it explains the substance in an easy to understand language for the uninitiated. Pt. Pannalal Jain has also written a comprehensive commentary in Hindi language following the version of the Tattvartha Sutra prevelent in the Digambara tradition. Pt. Khoob Chand Siddhantashastri has written a very comprehensive commentary on the TS with its autocommentary (Bhasya) that has been published by the Paramashrut Prabhavaka Mandala, Agas. The high points of this commentary are that it also gives the available alternate versions of the text and gives the Hindi translations of both the aphorisms as well as the Bhasya. 'Tattvarthasutra Aur Uski Parampara 'by Prof. Sagarmal Jain, though not a commentary on the TS, I provides a valuable historical perspective on this work of fundamental importance to the Jaina studies. He has scanned the canvas from before the time of the learned author, Vacaka Umasvati, through various commentaries and has presented a very balanced and undogmatic viewpoint. g. THIS WORK Following the original text contained in the author's own Bhasya, and adhering to the format of Samskrta Sutra, followed by Page #46 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ INTRODUCTION : XLV its simple and concise Hindi meaning followed by the transliteration of the text in roman script and a short and to the point English translation with only the very essential footnotes, it is an attempt to bring the magnificence of the Tattvartha Sutra to the uninitiated students of Jaina thought who follow either of the two languages or both. While unnecessary explanations have been curtailed, at no place an attempt has been made to sacrifice clarity for the sake of brevity. I, the author and translator, will feel rewarded if this effort achieves the desired goal of making the rather complex subject of "Jaina Fundamentals' comprehensible through this humble effort. Concluding Remarks - The works that have been referred to in this introductory note are to motivate the more serious students to look for more detailed expositions on the subject. I have felt restrained that more complete introductions of these monumental works by the luminaries of Jaina thought have not been possible due to the limited purpose with which this book has been written. I, therefore, rest content with what has been possible, given the limitations of purpose and the size of the book, Udaipur, - Sreyas Makar Sankranti, 14 January, 2004.

A Il living beings desire happiness. It can be either physical or spiritual. It is a matter of common experience that physical happiness is transient while spiritual happiness is permanent. It is for this reason that human beings, the best creation of the universe, have pursued spirituality leaving the physical pleasures behind in their search for everlasting bliss. At the epitome of spiritual practice and true pleasure is liberation of the soul from the shackles of physical bondage and to attain 'Moksa'. This chapter states the path to spiritual salvation in its true and resplendent glory. Path Of Liberation .

(1) * Desasarvato'numahati || 2 || Partial renouncement (of the above-mentioned - violence, untruth, theft, sexual indiscretion and attachment to possessions) is taking minor vows (Anu-vrata) while complete renunciation is to take the great vows (Mahavrata). (2) Active Aids For Proper Discharge Of The Vows - * Tatsthairyarthami bhavanah panca panca || 3 || In order to render them (vows) steady, there are five active aids associated with each of them?4.

Due to the counter motion imparted to it by the reaction of the material karma matter that separates from it and moves downwards (Purvaprayoga), 2. Due to detachment of the karma matter particles which are heavy and bear the soul down as long as they remain attached to it, 3. Due to release from bondage just as a helium filled baloon rises after the line holding it is cut and, 4. Finally, due to its natural tendency to rise. It, however, rises only up to the end (top) of the universe and not beyond because the medium of motion (Dharmastikaya) exists only up to the end of the universal space (Lokakasa) and nothing, not even liberated souls, can move beyond into the non-universal space.
