________________ Acaranga-Bhasyam Taiam Ajjhayanam Siosanijjam by Acarya Mahaprajna Chapter III Endurance of Cold and Hot - tulasI prajJA aprela - jUna, 2005 - The title of the present chapter is 'Endurance of Cold and. Hot.' This title is meaningful because here the tolerance of cold and hot in the practice of discipline is prescribed. Etymologically cold means cold- environment, hot means hot environment. By implication the word 'cold' refers to the favorable and 'hot' the unfavorable condition. The Niryukti has related these two words to the twenty-two types of hardship. Among the hardships, woman and eulogy are 'cold', while others are 'hot'.' An alternative meaning of these two words has also been given in the Niryukti, viz. The harsh hardships are 'hot' and the mild ones 'Cold."2 PREFACE In the Niryukti, while applying the process of linguistic analysis to 'cold' and 'hot' some varieties are mentioned such as frost, hail, snow, hail-stone, etc. as animate cold material objects; necklace etc. are inanimate ones. The clouds mixed with animate. water are mixed cold material objects. The quality of coldness in matter is an immaterial cold object. The states of the soul - karmic suppression, elimination and elimination-cum-suppression-are immaterial cold objects. Similarly in linguistic analysis of the word hot, fire is an animate hot material object, the ray of the sun is an inanimate hot material object. The luke warm or warm water that is not boiled thrice is a mixed hot material object. The hotness of the matter is an inanimate immaterial object. The state of karmic rising in the soul is animate immaterial object. Anger 67

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ and pride are hot, greed can be cold also from a particular standpoint. The state of karmic elimination is hot because otherwise it will not be compatible with the burning of the entire mass of karma.3 The subject matter of the present chapter is concerned with the endurance of cold and hot hardships by the monk. There are four sections in the present chapter, comprising the four topics: (i) the unrestrained persons are asleep on account of spiritual slumber, (ii) people in spiritual slumber experience misery and suffering, (iii) by mere endurance of suffering, or by mere inaction devoid of the practice of discipline a person cannot be a monk, (iv) the passions are to be got rid of. 5 The present chapter starts with the states of sleep and wakefulness. The sleep is as valuable for life as wakefulness. In the spiritual field,. wakefulness alone is valuable, and not the state of sleep. It has, therefore, been said that the monks are always awake while others are always asleep. Even though one is sometimes asleep on account of the effective rise of the intuition-covering karma, he is not really in sleep as he is endowed with right vision and disgust for worldly life. It is only rise of the faithdeluding karma that is great sleep in the spiritual sense of the term. The person who has overcome such sleep is always awake. But the person who is under the influence of spiritual sleep induced by the rise of the faith-deluding karma is always asleep. This is the supramundane process of sleep and the awakened state." The Niryukti has defined the demerits of the sleep state and the merits of the wakeful state. Just as a person who is asleep, mad and in coma is subject to incurable suffering, so the person in spiritual sleep is immersed in infinite suffering and misery. On the other hand, just as a wise person fleeing from burning fire enjoys pleasure (and avoids misery) so a person with the discerning knowledge of the miserable and the nonmiserable courses of life enjoys pleasure by avoiding the pitfall of misery.7 In the present chapter, the doctrine of equality has been propounded.R As it is a treatise dealing with equality, the Acaranga has been named 'samayika', that is, a scripture propounding equality. The phrases versed in three sections" 'the supreme end'10 etc. in this text are indicative of the antiquity of its composition. Here aphorisms propounding the doctrine of karma are also available" In this chapter the 'world-view' meaning 'truth' is found construed with many others words. 12 Truthfulness which is of the nature of 'desisting from faleshood is none other than 'desisting from injury to life'. The sutras like the following in the text do not stand for truthfulness of the nature of non-falsehood. But they are expressive. tulasI prajJA aMka 128 68

________________ of-the truth of the nature of true faith or they explain the true nature of the soul and objects: Be steadfast in the truth (3.40) Man! you should cultivate only the truth (3.65) The intelligent monk who is loyal to the truth crosses the domain of death or the sensuous desires. (3.66) In Jainism, the doctrine of omniscience is found described in detail. The question whether the doctrine of omniscience has been accepted in the Acaranga has been raised by scholars. There were indeed discussions of the doctrine in the treatises of medieval period, which are found here also. But from the statement this is the philosophy of the seer', (3.85) it is obvious that Jain philosophy is the philosophy of the seer, which did not arise out of logical argumentation. The seer also is qualified by two adjectives: The abandoner of the weapons of violence and non-violent, the maker of the end, that is, the maker of the end of the knowledgeobscuring karma (3.85). There arises disqualifying impediment due to karma (3.19). There is no such impediment for the seer (3.87). In these two sutras, there is the base of the argument employed by the medieval logicians for proving omniscience that is, of the definite consummation of the existence of the varying degrees of knowledge is in a state of knowledge that is transcendent and perfect. The ideal perfection of wisdom - the gradation of perfection must end somewhere, because it is ideal, like the ideal magnitude. By this kind of inference, the existence of ideal wisdom is proved, leading to the proof of omniscience, because the proof of the latter is of the nature of the proof of the former. There was another syllogistic argument: The subtle, the covered and distant objects are perceived by somebody, because they are knowable like a jar and the like. The omniscience is also proved by the noncontradiction of astronomical knowledge as it is said: If the knowledge of absolutely unperceivable objects, were not possible, how could the uncontradicted astronomical knowledge be possible? If such knowledge were admitted as due to scriptural knowledge, the latter (scriptural knowledge) would be another proof to the existence of omniscience.14 Moreover there is no contradiction available for the thesis of omniscience." The dialogue between the kalavesiyaputta and the elders in the order of Mahavira shows the doctrine of six fundamental constituents of the discipline propounded by Lord Mahavira.' TERUT YFIT 37001 - 515, 2005 - 69
Page #75
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 1] Observing equanimity by desisting from all kinds of harmful activities in thought, word and deed (3.30) 2] Undertaking of vows (I. 11; 3.28; 3.46) 3] Self-restraint (3.4) 4] Inhibition of the inflow of karma (3.86) 5] Perception of the otherness of the soul from the body (4.73 74) 6] Abandonment of attachment to the body, passions and the like (8/8/5,29) In this Agama, all these six constituents are found described as noticed above. There is no clear mention of the five great vows, unlike those that are found in the Sutrakstanga.!? In this connection it should be asserted that, in the discourses of Lord Mahavira, the five great vows are the members in the elaboration of the principle of equanimity. The exposition of the principle of the soul is intimately related with equanimity, as in the Bhagavati the identity of the soul with equanimity has been clearly mentioned (1.426).18 This is also found in the Samayasara (gatha 277).19 In this chapter, the causes of the rebirth 20 and immortality?' have been described. Here spirituality has been properly explained.22 Equanimity is possible only in desisting from weapon of violence. It is not possible in the acts of violence because they are mutually incompatible. This chapter, therefore, deserves a very careful study. References : 1. (a) Acaranga Niryukti, gatha 202 : itthi sakkaraparisaho ya do bhavasiyala ee. sesa visam unha parisaha humti nayavva.

________________ CHAPTER-MI Endurance of Cold and Hot SECTION -1 3.1 sutta amuni saya munino saya jagaramti. The ignorant are always asleep, the wise are always awake. Bhaoyam Sutra 1 In the present chapter, the forbearance of pleasure and pain with equanimity is explained. The fulfilment of the ends of nonviolence and non-possessiveness is not possible without forbearance. In order to fulfill the ends, one has to patiently forbear pleasure and pain. The ignorant is not capable of forbearance. The wise is always awake. He alone is capable of forbearance. The Sutra expresses this objective truth thus: The wise is he who knows the continuity of the world through the three periods of time (past, present and future), is thoughtful and knowledgeable. The ignorant is quite the opposite. The ignorant people are always asleep The asleep are of two kinds: (1) Physically asleep - in the state of sleep. (2) Spiritually asleep ae engrossed in violence or possessiveness, or swayed by worldly things and passions, being ignorant of the discipline. The wakeful is also of two kinds: (1) Physically wakeful - without sleep, (2) Spiritually wakeful - absorbed in non-violence and non-possessiveness, possessed of right faith, freed of all desires and possessed of enthusiasm for the discipline. On account of the practice of knowledge, the wise has his psyche, mind, brain and entire nervous system under his control, because of his being always spiritually wakeful. Even in the state 72 cat Mall d 128

________________ of sleep, he does not commit any undesirable act. This is the secret of his complete self-awareness at all times. In poetical literature also, we find the eulogy of constant wakefulness: "If I had in thought, word or deed, while awake or sleeping, any inclination to being the spouse of any other person other than Raghava, then, O fire! burn this body of mine, because you alone indeed are the witness to the good or bad will of people."'! 3.2 loyamsi jana ahiyaya dukkham. You should know ignorance to be cause of misfortune. Bhasyam Sutra 2 Ignorance and delusion i.e. the perversity of a person who is asleep is ever on increase. Such delusion is suffering, being the cause of misery or suffering in itself. You should know that the latter is conducive to the baneful. In this very life of a person engaged in violence and possessiveness the baneful consequences like punishment, imprisonment etc. are visible. 3.3 samayam logassa Janitta, ettha satthovarae. Knowing the equality of all beings of the world, one should desist from the weapon of violence. Bhagyam Sutra 3 Here 'world' means 'inmates of the world'. Perceiving the equality of the inmates of the world, a monk, desists from weapons of injury, Whatever is instrumental to torture to creature is called a weapon of injury. A person of non-violent and non-possessive inclination naturally abstains from all sorts of injurious weapons. Here, in the context of non-violence, the word 'equality' stands for comparison with self in respect of suffering. In the context of non-possessiveness, it means 'balanced attitude in gain and loss, and the like.' 3.4 jassime sadda ya ruva ya gamdha ya rasa ya phasa ya abhisamannagaya bhavamti, se ayavam nanavam veyavam dhammavam bambhavam. One who havs completely known the sensuous objects such as, sounds, colours, smells, tastes and touches - realizes the self, the knowledge, the scriptures, the doctrine and the discipline.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Bhasyam Sutra 4 The person in whose life non-possessiveness has been perfected realizes the self. The idea is the sensual objects like sound etc. are material entities, while the nature of the self is spiritual. There are persons who have properly understood the nature of the sensual objects. In other worlds, through their intuitive comprehension, those objects are known to them as distinct from consciousness. They also know them (objets) as conditions of bondage of pleasure and pain. Those objects are known by him through comprehension qua knowledge and comprehension qua abandonment. Person of such comprehension realizes the self, the knowledge, the scripture, the doctrine and the discipline. The present Sutra propounds the principle of discrimination between the spiritual and the physical. The infatuation and temptation for possession originate due to the identification of the spiritual and the physical. Non-possessiveness matures on the experience of the discrimination between the two. On the maturation of such discrimination, the soul realizes itself. His knowledge is released from attachment to the sensual objects In other words, the knowledge is freed from any kind of grasping. And therefore, it is only in such state that the soul attains perfect knowledge, 'Scripture' means the sacred lore which deals with the release from attachment and hatred. The soul attains the knowledge of the scriptures when the basic attachment to the physical world is destroyed. The essential character of the doctrine is the sense of equality. Such person remains evenly disposed to the covetable and the uncovetable sensual objects, and is thus established in the doctrine. 'Discipline' means right conduct, truthfulness and austerities. The aspirant is firmly established in them and so is designated as the attainer of the discipline. 3.5 pannanehim pariyanai loyam, muniti vacce, dhammaviutti amju The person who comprehends the world by means of his wisdom is called monk. He is the knower of the nature of things and is straightforward. Bhagyam Sutra 5 One who comprehends the world through his discriminative wisdom is called a monk (a knower). He is conversant with the nature of things and is uprigtht. 'Nature of things' means nature of all substances. This character of the monk is indicative of his practice of analytic meditation. The person who analytically meditates on the nature of things 74 - The 4311 317 128

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ comprehends the world as consisting of animate and inanimate things by means of his wisdom. By the comprehensive knowledge of the world, the intelligence about the unacceptable and acceptable becomes manifest. As a result, the aspirant becomes straightforward or devoted to what is good." 3.6 avattasoe samgamabhijanati. The monk who realizes the self knows the clinging as the whirl and the stream. Bhaoyam Sutra 6 Clinging is attachment. The monk recognizes the clinging as whirl and stream. 'Whirl' means the agitation or fickleness of the mind due to the impulse of sensual affection. Stream is the enterance. In the Sthananga (9.24) nine streams are mentioned: two ears, two eyes, two noses, the mouth, the genetic organ and the anus. The stream includes also the senses. In the Ayaro (4.45), we find the mention of 'one entagled in the incoming stream' which means one entangled in the sensuous stream. It is explained in the Nisitha - Bhasya- Curni that attachment and clinging are synonymous. Or the state of the soul arising from the karma is attachment. The same attachment is called clinging, because it connects the soul with karma." 3.7 siosinaccai se niggamthe arai-rai-sahe pharusiyam no vedeti. The unbound monk enduring heat and cold does not experience any harshness while tolerating ennui and relish. Bhasyam Sutra 7 'Cold stands for favorable circumstances; 'heat stands for adverse circumstances. The person who tolerates with equanimity both these conditions is the unbound monk enduring ennui and relish. He does not feel harshness anywhere. On account of the variety of experience even pleasure for non-restraint and displeasure for restraint may arise even in the mind of the aspirant. The person who can bear the two is not subjected to the experience of harshness. Nor does he regard the restraint as a burden, nor does he generate a knot.' geret usil 37967 - 17, 2005 - 75

________________ 3.8 jagara-verovarae vire The wakeful and one free from enmity is the hero. Bhasyam Sutra 8 One who is wide - awake and above enmity is valourous indeed. Here two defining characteristics of the valourous person are propounded. A person in sleep does not give any special inspiration and so he is not a hero. A person with an inimical disposition towards living creature is also not a valourous person. Violence and possessiveness function as the cause of enmity. A person not desisting from these two dispositions cannot give any kinds of inspiration to any body. Therefore awakefulness and friendliness are the two defining characteri-stics of a valourous person. 3.9 evam dukkha pamokkhasi. And thus you will get rid of suffering. Bhasyam Sutra 9 Thus, by means of wakefulness and the resulting friendliness, it is possible to get freed from misery and suffering. A person in slumber of delusion is an enemy of all living creatures. Such a person generates an unending chain of misery. He is not emancipated from the chain. Therefore, the state of wakefulness is very much worthy of practice. In the presence of wakefulness, a person does not indulge in violence and possessiveness. 3.10 jaramaccuvasovanie nare, sayayam mudhe dhamman nabhijanati. The person under the sway of old age, death and constant delusion does not know the doctrine. Bhasyam Sutra 10 Such person is constantly in the clutches of old age and death. Even then he always lives in stupor and delusion. He does not understand the doctirine which is the condition of the destruction of karma. 3.11 pasiya aure pane appamatto parivvae Looking at the people in anguish, the wakeful one always remains vigilant. Bhasyam Sutra 11 The wakeful person, perceiving the spiritually sleeping fellow-beings 76 D _ Toet uz 31 ch 128
Page #82
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ miserably overwhelmed by physical and mental agonies, or perceiving the lustful or the fear-stricken people, ever remain vigilant i.e., wakeful. 3.12 mamta eyam maimam! pasa. O intelligent person, look thoughtfully. Bhasyam Sutra 12 These are pitfalls for the person who is spiritually asleep. Seeing this, O intelligent person! you should realize that sleep is harmful and wakefulness is beneficial (for spiritual progress). 3.13 arambhajam dukkhaminam ti nacca Having known that suffering is due to acts of violence, (you should practice to ever remain wakeful). Bhasyam Sutra 13 A 'violent' act means non-restraint or any kind of activity due to violence and the like. 'Whatever misery there is in this world is due to violence' - appreciating this, you should free yourself from all acts of violence and practice religious vigilance. 3.14 mai pamai punarei gabbham. The deceitful and the non-vigilant transmigrates again and again. Bhasyam Sutra 14 The realization of immortality is the consummation of religious life. In such state, a person is freed from birth and death. The cessation of the old and resumption of the new body is worldly life. The cycle of repeated birth and death continues in this way. The Sutra here defines the condition of rebirth : the deceitful and the non-vigilant is subjected to repeated transmigration. The deceitful has his mind infected by sensual objects and passions. His dispositions are never purified. The non-vigilant cannot act in a right way. He is consequently involved in repeated rebirth. A person who is subject to birth in necessarily subject to death. 3.15 uvehamano sadda-ruvcsu amju marabhisamki marana pamuccati. The monk who is indifferent to sounds and colours is upright. One who is ever alert to death is liberated from it. THE Y511 370615 , 2005 77

________________ Bhasyam Sutra 15 A person who is indisferent to sensuous objects like sound and colour is freed from anguish. He does not have attachment and aversion to desirable and undesirable objects. He does not strive for them in the least. He becomes simple and Straight Forward on account of the indeifference that is tantamount to lack of indulgence. Such person is released from death as he always finds himself alert to it. In other words, he attains immortality. Fear of death is an important means to immortality. 3.16 appamatto kamehim, uvarato pavakammehim, vire ayagutte je kheyanne. The enlightened person who is wakeful to desires desists from unrestrained activity, is valoruous and self-absorbed. Bhasyam Sutra 16 The person conversant with the nature of the psycho-physical apparatus achieves immortality by his own effort. Psychophysical apparatus means the body, desires, sensual objects, violence and activity of though, speech and body. The person who knows all this is the knower of the pparatus. He is wakeful to his desires; he abstains from evil actions such as violence and the like. He is valorous on account of his valour of selfrestraint; he is self-absorbed being guarded in though, word and deed. 3.17 je pajjavajaya-satthassa kheyanne, se asatthassa kheyanne, je asatthassa kheyanne, se pajjavajaya-satthassa kheyanne. The monk who is enlightened with respect to non-restraint (weapon) about the modes of sensuous objects is conversant with self-restraint (non-weapon). One who knows self-restraint is conversant with non-restaint that occurs about different modes of sensuous objects. Bhasyam Sutra 17 Indulgence in the sensuous objects such as sound, colour and the like is non-restraint, while abstinence from them is restraint. Both these should be comprehended. The various modes of the sensuous objects destroy the wakefulness. They are thus the weapons of injury. Subjugation of them is non-weapon. The person who is conversant with the various modes of the weapons constituting non-restraint, is also conversant with the non-weapons or restraint. The person who understands the nature of non-weapons is also conversant with the modes of the weapons. The 78 C THAT TETT 3ich 128

________________ idea is, so long as the nature of non-restraint is not known, it is impossible to know the nature of restraint. Similarly, so long as the nature of selfrestraint is not known, the nature of non-restraint is also not properly known. The knowledge of either depends on the other. This order of evolution (of self-restraint) finds lucid expression in the following verses: The gradual growth of the excellent truth in the consciousness is accompanied by the gradual distaste for sensuous objects howsoever easily accessible; and conversely the growth of distaste for sensuous objects, howsoever easily accessible, and conversely the growth of distaste for sensuous -objects, howsoever easily accessible, is accompanied by the gradual growth of the excellent truth in the consciousness. 3.18 akammassa vavaharo na vijjai. There is no designation for the soul freed from the karma. Bhasyam Sutra 18 On the elimination of the karma, the person becomes free from karma. A. person freed from karma has no designation. 'Designation' means naming or division, e.g., the hellish being, animals, men, gods; similarly child, boy, youth and aged; such and such by name, such and such by lineage. The person possessed of karma has designation. This is indicated in the Sutra that follows. 3.19 kammuna uvahi jayai. The adjunct is produced by karma.

Comprehending this, an intelligent person strives for wakefulness or getting rid of attachment and hatred. 3.25 viditta logam, vamta logasannam se maiyam parakkamejjasi. - tti bemi.

________________ Bhasyam Sutra 25 An intelligent person strives for wakefulness. For this purpose, it is necessary to appreciate the nature of the world (of passions), and to abandon the worldly instinct. So long as there is no right discrimination about the world of passions and their fruition, one cannot strive in the right direction. So long as the worldly instinct, that is, the popular proneness towards the sensual objects, is not given up, how can there be any attempt at wakefulness? 16 References: 1.

________________ The Historical Beginnings of Jainism* by Prabodhchandra Bagchi (1) Introductory India has been called the "Land of Religions" and none can deny that she is really such. So many religious movements have never fallen to the lot of any other country and no other people except the Indians have ever been able to lay claim to such a unique religious evolution. Jainism plays an important role in this religious evolution and a complete history of Indian religions is an impossibility if duc regard is not paid to this religion. But as yet, as far as the historical study is concerned, much systematic work has not been done in this field except the several valuable but isolated attempts made by Professor Buhler, Professor Jacobi and Dr. Hoernle. That more study, - and systematic study, - of the thing is an ultimate and immediate necessity, there can be no question and the reasons for this are not far to seek. Jainism is professed by one million and a quarter of the most influential part of the Indian people and the most interesting feature is that it has succeeded in continuing to be a living religion up till now its contemporary movements have almost died away. Even Buddhism cannot count anything more than an insignificant following as its own in India at the present day. These very considerations, not to speak of the inquisitive sidrit of the antiquarian, urge one to look back into the past history of the religion. The first problem, one meets with here is, when did Jainism originate? Hence this slight attempt has been made to systematise the information available at the present state of our *This article was first published in the Sir Asutosh Mookerjee Silver Jubilee VolumeIII, ORIENTALIA Part-3, published by the Calcutta University in 1927 tulasI prajJA aprela - jUna, 2005 83

________________ knowledge, bearing upon the discovery of the necessary conditions under which and the time when the religious movement of the Jainas was started. (2) The first Tirthamkaras The sacred tradition of the Jainas all along tries to superimpose on their followers the idea that their religion is an eternal one which has been revealed from time to time to the Tirthamkaras who come to this world as ardent exponents of the faith in every age like the Pauranic Avataras.' They believe in a long line of twenty-four Tirthamkaras like the Buddhists, who created a long story of the past Buddhas in the postAsokan days. From the Jaina point of view neither Rsabhadeva, the first of these Tirthamkaras, nor Mahavira, the last of them, can be properly accredited with the first promulgation of the Jaina religion. The fundamental truths of this religion were in existence from time immemororial and can be traced even before the Vedas. The Tirthamkaras realise these truths when they attain enlightenment and preach them to the people. The traditional way of the Jainas is to begin their history with the career of the first of these twenty-four Arhats. Without going into the details of the lives of these shadowy personages we shall remain satisfied in giving their names? for the present. They are (1) Rsabhadeva; (2) Ajitanatha; (3) Sambhavanatha; (4) Abhinandana; (5) Sumatinatha; (6) Padmaprabha; (7) Suparsvanatha; (8) Candraprabha; (9) Suvidhinatha; (10) Sitalanatha; (11) Sreyamsanatha; (12) Vasupiyya; (13) Vimalanatha; (14) Anantanatha; (15) Dharmanatha; (16) Santinatha; (17) Kumthunatha; (18) Aranatha; (19) Mallinatha; (20) Munisuvrata; (21) Naminatha; (22) Neminatha or Aristanemi; (23) Parsvanatha; and (24) Mahavira. This list is implicitly relied upon by the Jainas as genuine. But no historical evidences have as yet been forthcoming to warrant the real existence of the first twenty-two Tirthamkaras. On the other hand they appear to be quite fictitious personages for reasons not far to seek. The duration of the careers of these Tirthamkaras is so very much exaggerated that the list cannot be considered as genuine. Thus Rshabhadeva is believed to have lived for eighty-four lakhs of purva or great years: even Neminatha or Arishtanemi, the 22nd Tirthamkara is said to have flourished for one thousand years. The ages of the intermediate ones vary within these two limits. Parsvanatha's career is only unusually short in comparison to these. He is said to have lived for one hundred years. 84 D - Inet 4511 310 128

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ The list again appears to be of a stereotyped character. The names of some of the Tirthamkaras have been immortalised even in the Brahmanical and Buddhistic traditions. But whatever the traditions may say, there is no way of establishing the authenticity of the list. The list, therefore, seems to have been contrived for proving a great antiquity of the religon. In order to give a religious sanctity to this fanciful antiquity the Jainas blended it with their theological doctrine. It only tries to inculcate that Jainism was not a new faith but one that was as old as time itself and illustrates the popular Jaina belief in the alternate creation and destruction of the universe. Under these circumstances no one can consider the first twenty-four Tirthamkaras as historical personages. Some recent attempts have been made to prove the real existence of Vasudeva, the relative of Aristanemi, or Neminatha, the 22nd Tirthamkara. If the conclusions be well established we can find some clue through which the historicity of Aristanemi also can be established. But in the present state of our knowledge that appears to be a hopeless task. He is, besides, believed to have lived for 1000 years and this preposterous duration goes against any presumption about the historicity of Aristanemi. So far as our knowledge goes for the present we are not justified in placing any confidence upon the traditions regarding him or in tracing the beginnings of the Jaina religion from him. Historical data however enable us to expel the doubts regarding the real cxistence of the last two Tirthamkaras, viz. Parsvanatha and Mahavira. Parsvanatha, the immediate predecessor of Mahavira is said to have flourished some 250 years before the advent of the latter. In view of the fact that for all practical purposes we cannot but consider Parsvanatha, as the first historical promulgator of the Jaina religion, let us examine the traditions that centre round him and determine his real position in the history of the religious evolution of the Jainas. (3) Parsvanatha : The traditional account of his life The Jaina traditions are unanimous in saying that Parsvanatha flourished about 817 B.C. It is distinctly related in the Jaina Kalpasutra that he was born in Benares in an auspicious moment, with all the royal prerogatives, being the son of King Asvasena and Queen Vama. The queen, before giving birth to the future Tirthamkara became subject to those happy dreams which are always the precursors of the advent of a great man. The tradition tells us, furthermore, that when the Bhagavan was in the embryo, the mother saw a serpent by her side (9780). This is why the THU YETT 3T17 - 15, 2005 C 85

________________ child was called Parsvanatha.? As soon as the child was grown up, he became a "favourite of the people" for many acts of kindness to them. But he had higher aims and aspirations and was determined to realise these in his life. He lived 30 years as a householder and as soon as his parents passed away he made up his mind to leave the world. One day he went right through the town of Benares to the park called asramapada and proceeded to the excellent tree of asoka. "For eighty-three days he neglected his body and meditated upon himself for eighty-three days." practice of these servere austerities he reached the infinite, highest knowledge and intuition called kevala. He preached for full seventy years and starved himself to death, at last, on the mount Sameta sikhara in Bengal. He left behind him an excellent community of cight ganas with eight ganadharas at their heads. This is the traditional account of Parsvanatha's career leaving all the grotesque details out of consideration. Let us see what historicity can be attributed to these traditions and what historical evidences are forthcoming to corroborate them. (4) Historical Evidences in support of the tradition There is much to be said in favour of the Jaina tradition that Mahavira was no more than a reformer of an older Nigantha order founded by Parsvanatha. In support of this tradition we have to say: (i) Makkhali Gosala who was an older contemporary of Mahavira, divided mankind into six classes - chalabhijatis. This division seems to have a reference to a separate Nigantha order, separate from that founded by Mahavira,' of the six divisions made by Gosala, the Lohitabhijati, the third division represents the Niganthas. The Niganthas who are placed in this "red class" are described as eka-sataka or Bhikshus provided with one garment. We, therefore, take it to be an allusion to Parsva's followers and not to those of Mahavira, since the latter were conspicuous by their disregard of clothes. (ii) The dialogue between Kesi and Gautama in the Jaina Uttaradhyayana Sutra'' contains a distinct reference to two separate Nigantha orders - one existing previously and founded by Parsvanatha of which Kesi was the representative in the time of Mahavira, and the other founded newly by Mahavira himself. The Acaranga Sutralt again records that Mahavira's parents were worshippers of Parsva and his Sramanas and that they committed religious suicide according to the strict injunction of the Jaina rules of asceticism. 86 C - That all 317 128

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ (iii) It is not improbable, again, that the grammarian Panini in his sutra (II.1.70) kumarah sramanadibhih had the followers of Parsva in view. Kumarasramana or Kumaraputta is used as an appellation of the followers of Parsvanatha in the Jaina texts. 12 (iv) In the Buddhist literature a Nigantha doctrine of catuyama samvara is referred to. We cannot but agree with Prof. Jacobi in his surmise that this peculiar doctrine of fourfold restraints belonged to the followers of Parsvanatha. It cannot be ascribed to Mahavira and his followers as in the Jaina literature a clear distinction is made between the pancayama dharma of Mahavira's order and the catuvama dharma of Parsva's followers. Though the Buddhist attribution of this doctrine of fourfold restraints has been to Mahavira, we cannot but take it as a mis-statement. The Buddhists ascribed the old Nigantha creed to Mahavira who took the lead of the community and of whose reforms they were not aware. (v) We cannot ignore the matter-of-fact enumeration of this doctrine of fourfold restraint in the Bhagavati Sutra where in course of a serious dispute between Kalasa vesiyaputta, a Pasavacchejja (i.e. Parsvapatyeya) or a follower of Parsva and some disciples of Mahavira Kalasa at last apologies and begs permission to stay with them after having changed the law of four vows for the law of the five vows!" (tujjham antie catuijamato dhammato panoamahavvaiyam sapadikkamanam dhammam uvasampajjitanam viharittae). (vi) The Jaina tradition refers to the existence of a set of sacred canons called the fourteen purvas even before the advent of Mahavira. These were later on either lost or incorporated in the later literature. Prof. Jacobi opines and probably quite rightly, that this existence of an earlier literature (purva) presupposes the existence of an earlier sect of the Niganthas.! (vu) Above all Prof. Jacobi points out that the Majjhima Nikaya records a disputation between Buddha and Saccaka whose father belonged to Nigantha order. "Saccaka is not a Nigantha himself, as he boasts of having vanquished Nataputta in disputation, and moreover the tenets he defends are not those of the Jainas. Now when a famous confroversialist, whose father was a Nigantha was a contemporary of the Buddha, the Niganthas can scarcely have been a sect founded during Buddha's life.! These evidences, it appears, presuppose the existence of a Nigantha order founded by Parsvanatha before the advent of Mahavira. It is also admitted on all hands that mahavira joined that order for sometime at the TAHU YETI 37001 - 57, 2005 * 87

________________ beginning of his ascetic career and that he left it on account of some possible regeneration that had crept into that community." (5) Parsvanatha's Contribution Parsvanatha flourished, as already noted, towards the end of the ninth century (817) B.C.17 which was the age of Brahmanical predominance. Parsvanatha's position, therefore, becomes more distinct and the value of his servies becomes more prominent when one takes into consideration the possible difficulties he might have undergone in rising an uncompromising protest against Brahmanical tyranny. It appears that Parsvanatha, "the people's favourite" founded a new religion which was not meant for the sacred few but for all. The age of Parsvanatha was coeval with the age of the older. Upanisads when the thoughtful section of the community in their zeal for the attainment of the knowledge of the supreme world left the suffering masses to shift for themselves. At this juncture Parsvanatha recognised the moral elevation of the people at large and especially of the lower castes as a supreme task of religin. He felt for them and came forward to their help. Hence the significance of the standing addition "the people's favourite" 18 to his name. It implies that Parsvanatha's mission was to uplift the mass. It apears, besides, that his movements, as such, were not favourably looked upon by the aggressive Brahmanism of the period and the attitude of it was probably positively hostile. This is confirmed by the utter silence of the Brahmanical literature about Parsva and the fact that though he was a prince of the Madhyadesa he could not do anything great in that part of the country where Suddha and Mahavira moved so triumphantly later on. His progress in that quarter was not anything remarkable and his order probably could not be anything better than a shifting body of monks and nuns, as it really was when Kesi was at the head." 19 Another characteristic feature of Parsvanatha's order appears to have been the elevation of the status of women. However eloquent we may be about the names of Gargi Vachanavi and Maitreyi, it cannot but be admitted that the status of women-folk was far from being very high in the time of Parsvanatha. Only a few women might have raised themselves into recognition by dint of their own learning and independence of spirit. Parsvanatha seems to have tried his best to give to this weaker sex full freedom and to maintain equality between man and woman in matters religious. This is why we see that he admitted a large number of female disciples into his order without any consideration of the possibility of a tulasI prajJA aMka 128 88

________________ future degeneration, and he, and only he, appears to be the first of such well-wishers. The most important feature of his movement was the emphasis he placed upon the doctrine of ahimsa. It was another point in which he made a bold departure from the prevalent custom of the Brahmanas; whatever spiritual significance might have been attached to the Vedic sacrifices, the people could scarcely act in accordance with it. the merciless slaughter of animals in sacrifices possibly had drawn the attention of Parsvanatha. His independent spirit could not brook this kind of slaughter of life in the name of religin and thus he enjoined the vow of non-killing as one of the fundamental principles of his religion. Along with this doctrine of ahimsa he introduced three other great vows:20 of abstinence from telling lie (satya), from stealing (asteya) and from having any property (aparigraha). These four great vows (caujjama samvara) of Parsvanatha constituted one of the important features of the immediate background of Jainism proper. The metaphysical tenets of Parsvanatha, as can be gathered from incidental references, were in their elementary forms. He maintained that knowledge, faith and right conduct are the true means to final liberation. The four passions (anger, pride, deceit and greed) together with the five senses are the dreadful drawbacks which should be checked as soon as possible. One can put an end to the cycle of births to which he is subject by doing this. "There is a safe place in view of all, but difficult of approach, where there is neither old age nor death, nor pain nor disease. This is what is called nirvana or freedom fro pain. It is the safe, happy and quiet place which the great sages reach.":22 For the attainment of this goal, we understand, Parsvanatha enjoined such religious practices as the observance of four great vows and the three guptis, etc. Religious suicide also appears to have been considered by Parsvanatha as a method for the attainment of salvation. The Acaranga sutrarecords two different processes of religious suicide. The one which is older is to be accredited to Parsvanatha. (6) Parsvanatha's order The Nigantha community, left by Parsvanatha, was, traditionally speaking, 24 an excellent community of 16,000 sramanas and 30,000 nuns with 164,000 lay disciples. One however, cannot place implicit reliance on these traditional numbers. One cannot believe at once that in the period GAAT 451 37067-57, 2005 C _ 89
Page #95
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ of Brahmanical predominance Parsvanatha could have been in a position to create such a large community. What appears to be probable is that he succeeded in leaving behind a Nigantha order consisting of a fairly large number of monks and nuns besides a laity which was large enough to support this order. This order seems to have undergone some changes in the period intervening between the death of Parsvanatha and the advent of Mahavira. Some degeneration probably crept into the church and this might have been the cause of Mahavira's alienation.25 The possibility of this degeneration also suggests itself when one considers the fact that Parsvanatha did not introduce any hard and fast commandment regarding the vow of chastity and that he allowed a free admittance of women into the community, perhaps, for the first time in India. However, at this juncture this order of Parsvanatha became amalgamated with the newly founded order of Mahavira through the intercession of Kesi and Gautama. Inspite of this a spirit of dissension continued to work for some time and this took a definite shape in the division of the church into two factions - the Digambara and Svetambara. The tradition records that Parsva left eight ganas with theirs ganadharas behind him.26 It may be presumed on the strength of this statement that there was possibly some good arrangement for the government and organisation of the community from the earliest times. This state of things continued up to the time of Mahavira, as one finds that followers of the order travelled under leaders like Kesi from place to place. They were not scattered here and there but constituted an organised body. (7) Makkhali Gosala and the original Nigantha order The intimate relation of Makkhali Gosala with the Jainas and the existence of certain common elements both in Ajivikism and Jainism tend to suggest that he was probably connected with the original Nigantha order in some way or other. We know from the account of Parsvanatha's life that he himself practised severe austerities for a long time. There can be no doubt, therefore, that he was an ardent advocate of it and as such he introduced it into his religious system. Curiously enough, Makkhali Gosala also emphasises again and again on this severe asceticism. It has been already seen that the vow of chastity was significant by its absence from the disciplinary rules of Parsvanatha's order. Makkhali 90 D - JOHT 4511 3ich 128
Page #96
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Gosala also is accused of unchastity, more than once though in an exaggerated way. Another significant fact is that the six lesya?? divsions of the Niganthas are just similar to the Ajivika division of mankind into six classes (chalabhijatis).28 Both are based on the same psychological principles and both of them seem to presuppose the older Nigantha division into six jivanikayas.29 The disciples of Makkhali Gosala again, firmly believed him to be their last Tirthamkara." It appears that this Ajivika tendency to attribute the qualities of a Tirthamkara (a word which especially belongs to the Jaina terminology) to Gosala was due to the influence of the beliefs of the original Nigantha order. This is why they persisted in maintaining that their leader was the last Tirthamkara whereas the followers of Mahavira maintained that Mahavira was the lat Tirthamkara. Thus it seems probable that Gosala began his religious career in the order of Parsvanatha and even worked with Mahavira as such. He later on left that community and joined the small Ajivika order of Nanda Vaccha and Kisa Samkiccha and raised that order to a status of recognition ere long. He probably could not be free from some of the Nigantha predilections which became deep-rooted in the Ajivikism which took a new shape at the hands of Makkhali Gosala. (8) Mahavira and the original Nigantha order Most of the features of Parsvanatha's religion are conspicuously present in the later Jainism. They underwent only some minor changes at the hands of Mahavira. Thus Mahavira added the vow of chastity to the four great vows introduced by Parsvanatha. "'The law as taught by the great sage Parsva," records the Uttaradhyayana sutr, 31 "recognised but four great vows (cauijama samvara)". It however cannot be believed that a great religious teacher like Parsvanatha did ignore this important injunction. What seems to be possible is that he implicitly included it in one of the four vows, naturally that of abstinence from having any property (aparigraha).32 Mahavira simply emphasized this point. Another innovation which Mahavira introduced was his rule permitting the disciples to go about naked. These minor changes cannot merely be applied as a test of Mahavira's attainments. His contribution to Jainism lay chiefly in the development of the metaphysical side of the Nigantha religion. The moral precepts of Get I 37051 - 11, 2005 - 91

________________ Parsvanatha demanded a deeper metaphysical justification which was supplied by Mahavira's doctrines. Inspite of this development of the metaphysical side which is useful only to the advanced few, it appears that the Jainism, as preached by Mahavira, was substantially the same as Parsvanatha's religion. The fundamental principles of the two religions were not at all different, though the minute details might not have agreed. "Both laws pursuing the same end, asks Kesi to Gautama, "what has caused this difference? Have you no misgivings about this twofold law, O wise man?" 734 And from what Gautama says in reply, it becomes quite plausible that both the creeds were essentially the same, the difference consisted only in the various outward marks of the religious men. 983 Mahavira, therefore, does not appear to have made any capture from the lines laid down by his predecessor or to have done anything beyond some improvements necessitated by the requirements of the time. The development of the metaphysical side also was a necessity which possibly those from the strong opposition of the existing systems. Summary and Conclusion (1) We have seen that the traditional list of the Jaina Tirthamkaras cannot be relied upon implicitly. The first twenty-two of them appear to be shadowy and fictitious personages and no historical importance can be attributed to them at the present state of our knowledge. (2) From a few genuine references to the 23rd Tirthamkara Parsvanatha - we have tried to suggest that the history of Jainism really begins with him. The principal features of his movement - as we understand from those incidental references, were - 92 (a) The uplifting of the mass and the consequent abolition of the caste system and class distinctions. (b) The elevation of the status of women. (c) The introduction of the four great vows (the caujjama samvara) - non-killing, and abstinence from telling any lie, from stealing and from possessing any property - ahimsa, satya, asteya and aparigraha. (d) In addition to these four great vows he enjoined strict asceticism as the only way for the attainment of salvation. The practice of religious suicide also may be resorted to as a method for facilitating the attainment of the desired end. tulasI prajJA aMka 128

________________ (3) We have also tried to make it clear that the doctrines of Parsvanatha constituted the immediate background of the later Jainism. Mahavira only followed in the footsteps of his eminent predecessor and raised a grand superstructure on the foundations laid down by Parsvanatha. (4) Above all, it has become evident that Jainism was not a new phenomenon in the history of Indian religion of the sixth century B.C., as is popularly suposed. The Jaina traditional accounts are quite justified in carrying back the origin of their religion to the previous Tirthamkaras, at least as far as Parsvanatha, the twenty-third of them, is concerned. There seems to be no denying the fact that this twenty-third Tirthamkara was a historical personage and was no doubt one of the most powerful religious teachers who fought against the aggressive Brahmanism of the period as early as the ninth century B.C. He persisted in carrying out his mission with every possible care and unflinching courage. He came as a liberator of the depressed and down-trodden and passed away with laurels on his crown leaving his work to be continued by his successors to perfection. References : 1. The Pauranic belief is that whenever the religion undergoes a decadence whenever then become sinful, an Avatare or Incarnation of the god comes down for setting everything right. The conception of a Tirthamkara, though it does not coincide with this, is however similar to that of an Avatara. A Tirthamkara, is also believed to appear when the religion becomes decadent. The difference is that while an Avatara is considered as in Incarnation the god and as such comes down with divine qualities, a Tirthamkara is a human being who attains perfection and divine qualities by virtue of his pious acts like a samyak Ambuddha of the Buddhists. 2.

But the ground he adduces appears to be doubtful . A passage of the Uttaradhyaya Sutra runs thus : Gautama replied to Kesi - The first saints were simple but slow of understanding, the last saints prevaricating and slow of understanding, those between the two simple and wise, hence there are two forms of the law. Jacobi also remarks in this connection: the argumentation in the text presupposes a decay of morals of the monastic order to have occured between Parsva and Mahavira. But the passage in question does notseem to refer to any such decay of morals definitely. It rather appears to refer to the fact that the religion at first was in its pristine simplicity but with Mahavira who introduced a complex metaphysical system that simplicity ceased. The first saints were sloo of understanding and thus unable to introduce that philosophical system but Mahavira was not of that type. 26. Jacobi, Jaina Sutras, Pt. I, SBE, vol. xxii. 27.

________________ Jaina Priests at the Court of Akbar* by Mohanlal Dalchand Desai Of all the emperors that wieleded their sway over India, Akbar deserves our deepest respect and keenest notice for the catholicity of his attitude towards religions, other than his own. A Muslim by birth, Akbar's mind was great enough and broad enough not to look upon Islam as the only religion that would dispel all the darkness obstructing the spiritual progress of mankind. He wanted to find out a common ground on which all faiths would agree. It was one of his ambitions to found a faith acceptable to all human beings. Once he said: "Although I am the Master of so vast a kingdom and all the appliances of Government are to my hand, yet, since true greatness consists in doing the will of God, my mind is not at ease in this diversity of sects and creeds; and apart from this outward pomp of circumstance, with what satisfaction in my despondency, can I undertake the sway of empire? I await the coming of some discreet man of principle, who will solve my spiritual difficulties." ("'The Sayings of His Majesty" Aine Akbari, Vol. II, p. 336) Maxmuller calls Akbar the first student of comparative religion. Fired with the zeal to provide a common faith for all, he first studied and discussed the doctrines of Islam with the help of Ulemas. Next, he gathered around him a select group of persons who had drunk deep at the fountains of other faiths - Hinduism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity and other faiths.' Reason rather than anything else was his guiding star in his quest of truth, This article was first published in the Journal of the Gujarat Research Society, Vol. IV, No.-1, published by the School of Economics and Sociology, University of Bombay, 1942 96 C - THAT 4511 3ich 128

________________ which would be acceptable to all. He once said, "(1) The superiority of man rests on the jewel of reason. It is meet that he should labour in its burnishing, and turn not from its instructions; (2) A man is the disciple of his own reason. If it has a good lustre, it becomes itself his director, and if it gains it under the direction of a higher mind, it is still a guide." (Ibid p. 382). The result of his inquiry into, and study of, the tenets of various faiths was little short of a revelation to himself. He found that the common current running through all the faiths was the quest of truth - eternal truth about the purpose lying behind the creation, in the broadest sense of the term. He also found that all the faiths were nothing but strenuous efforts to mould human behaviour in such a way that it would be in tune with the infinite, and that all the faiths represented the undying desire of Man to see his way through the tangled cobweb of this universe. Some faiths had gone for on the way to this final discovery, while others lagged behind; but all unflinchingly aimed at the same thing. No sooner did this truth dawn upon him that he proclaimed complete religious toleration throughout the length and breadth of his mighty empire. It was the corner stone on which he strove to build the edifice of a World Faith. He earnestly believed that it would make the world happy and contented, and would bring lasting peace to one and all. At least, this belief made him the mightiest and the most beloved monarch. The days of Islamic superiority and despotic fanaticism were over. He frankly admits:- "Formerly, I persecuted men in conformity with my faith, and deemed it Islam. As I grew in knowledge, I was overwhelmed with shame. Not being a Muslim myself, it was not meet to force others to become such. What constancy is to be expected from proselytes on compulsion?'' (Aine Akbari, Vol. III, p. 384) Religious debates and discussions, were carried on at the Ibadatkhana, or House of worship built in 1573, for about three years by Ulemas of rival schools of Islamic theology. Abul Fazl says that by 1578, representatives of many creeds had gathered there to join the discussions. "Sufi philosopher, orator, jurist, Sunni, Shia, Brahman, Jati, Siura, Charvak, Nazarene, Jew, Satr (Satran), Zoroastrain and others enjoyed exquisite pleasures." (Akbaranama Vol. p. 365. Beveridge's edition). The term "Jati" (Sanskrit equivalent "Yati") in the above extract, refers to Jaina (not Buddhist) ascetics or monks; and the term "Seura" (Sanskrit "Svetambara". Prakrit "Seyamvara") means "Svetambara Jainas". JAU 4541 3101 - 07, 2005

________________ Chalmers, however, mistranslated them as "Jains, Buddhists." Elliot and Dowson (authors of "History of India as told by its own Historians") took Chalmers' interpretation as correct. This, in its turn, led Von Noer, (author of "The Emperor Akbar") to infer wrongly:-"It may be concluded with not too slight probability that there were Buddhists at Fattepur" (Beveridge's translation I, 327, note). The fact, on the other hand, is that there is not a title of evidence to the effect that any Buddhist ever attended these religious debates or that Akbar ever came in touch with a Buddhist scholar. Abul Fazl, as he himself admits, failed to learn anything about Buddhism because Buddhism was almost extinct in India in those times. Badaoni, a staunch Muslim historian, while summarising the reasons, which led Akbar to renounce the Islam says: "The Principal reason was the large number of learned men of all denominations and sects, that came to his Court from various countries, were granted private audiences. His Majesty heard the opinion of each one, especially of non-Muslims, retaining that which appealed to his reason and rejecting everything else. As a result of this, a faith based o some elementary principles traced itself on the mirror of his heart; and out of the various influences that were brought to bear on His Majesty, there grew gradually as an outline on a stone, the conviction in his heart, that there were sensible men in all religions, deep thinkers and men endowed with miraculous power, among all nations." He further states:-"Moreover Sumanis (Sramanas-Jaina ascetics) and Brahmans managed to get frequent private audiences with his Majesty. They surpass other learned men in their treatises on morals and on physical and religious sciences; they have reached a high degree of perfection in their knowledge of the future, in spiritual power and human perfection. Consequently, they laid down proofs, based on reason and testimony, of the truth of their own religion, and of the fallacies of others; and they inculcated their doctrines so firmly, and so skilfully represented things as quite self-evident things which otherwise require consideration-that to raise a doubt in His Majesty's mind about the truth of their doctrines was more difficult than crumbling a moutain to dust or tearing asunder the heavens above." (Blochman Al Badauni, p. 256). "Hence His Majesty cast aside the Islamic revelations regarding resurrection, the day of judgment, and all the details connected with it, as also all ordinances based on the tradition of our prophet. The doctrine of the transmigration of the souls especially took a deep root in his heart, gate zich 128 98

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ and he approved of it by saying:-"There is no religion in which the doctrine of transmigration has not taken firm root." It is now clear that the terms "Jati" and "Sewras" used by Abul Fazl, and the term "Samanis" in Badaoni's work, refer to the monks and members of the Jaina Svetambara sect. The Jaina monks thus played a prominent part in the discussions and debates at the lbadatkhana, and had a powerful hold over the mind of the emperor. Modern European historians took little notice of this may be quite unintentionally. It was the late and great Jaina scholar, Chimanlal Dahyabhai Dalal, M.A., who drew their attention to this, by writing, under the nom de plume "C", an article on "Hiravijaya Suri or the Jainas at the Court of Akbar," which was published in "Jaina Sasana", Divali Issue (Benares), of S.Y. 1910, Vira Sam. 2437, (Pp. 113 to 128). This article constituted the principal authority for Dr. Vincent Smith when he wrote on the influence of Jains on Akbar, in his authoritative work, "Akbar, the Great Mogul". (Later editions) His article, "The Jain Teachers of Akbar" (Bhandarkar's Commemoration Vol. pp. 265 to 276), is also largely based upon the same source. Mr. Dalal says:- "It is true that the religious side of Akbar's character has received disproportionate amount of attention; nevertheless, it is very interesting to see how that mighty figure achieved a quite herculean task of not only satisfying his subjects professing various creeds and religions, but making them believe that he was a follower of their faiths. The Christians believed that he was a Christian, the Parsis that he was a Parsi, while the Hindus thought that he was a Hindu. His religious policy thus excites our great admiration." "Akbar's religion was an electic one; as he was an earnest seeker after truth, he took it from wherever (whatever source) he found it. In the following pages it is shown what he took from Jainism-non-killing of beings (non-violence), compassion towards all living beings, abstaining to a certain extent from flesh-eating, belief in re-incarnation and in the theory of Karma; and how he favoured it by (his) handing over its religious places to its followers and honouring its learned professors". A marvellous array of conquests over almost all parts of India was one of the many glorious achievements of Akbar. His plan of bringing under his sceptre the whole of India had met with a large measure of success. By the end of the 18th year of his rule, in 1574 A.D., his sway extended over North-Western, Central and Western India (Gujarat que 4511 37067 - 577, 2005 C - 99

________________ conquered in 1573 A.D.) and over the Punjab and Kabul. The end of 1574 A.D., witnessed the annexation of Bengal and Behar; and in 1575 A.D., his mighty hand descended over Orissa. According to Badaoni, "many years previous to 983 H.E. (1576 A.D.), the emperor had gained in succession remarkable and decisive battles ... No opponent was left in the world". It was about this time that the Emperor got the Ibadatkhana built at Fatehpur. Men of learning, men well-versed in the doctrines of their own faiths, religious fanatics and liberal-minded philosophers, in short, men interested in religious problems, gathered there in large numbers, and carried on discussions and debates over which the Emperor, not unoften, presided. Thereafter he suppressed several rebellions here and there" (Malleson, "The Emperor Akbar''p. 115 and onwards). Abul Fazl says in his Aine Akbari (Vol. I, p. 537):- "I shall now speak of the sages of the period and classify them according to their knowledge casting aside all differences of creed. His Majesty, who is himself the leader of the material and the ideal worlds and the soverign over the external and the internal, honours five classes of sages as worthy of attention ..... The first class, with the lustre of their star, perceive the mysteries of the external and the internal, and with their understanding and breadth of vision, fully comprehend both realms of thought. The second class pay less attention to the external world; but in the light of their hearts they acquire vast knowledge; (i.e. they understand the mysteries of the heart). The third class do not step beyond the limits of observation and acquire knowledge based upon testimony. (Philosophers and theologians). The fourth class look upon testimony as something filled with the dust of suspicion, and accept nothing without proof (Philosophers). The fifth class are bigoted, and cannot pass beyond the narrow sphere of revealed testimony (Scientists)." In the list of these learned men, we come across the names of three Jainas, viz., Hariji Sur, Bijai Sen Sur, and Bhanchand; they are no others than Hira-Vijaya Suri, Vijaya-Sena Suri, and Bhanucandra Upadhyaya. Hira-Vijaya Suri is placed in the first class, while Vijaya-Sena Suri and Bhanucandra are placed in the fifth class. 1. Hira Vijaya Suri After his return from Kabul in 1582 A.D., Akbar heard that there was in Gujarat a Jaina Priest, named Hira-Vijaya Suri, who was richly endowed with striking qualities of head and heart, and who led a life of saintly purity.

________________ holy persons, he sent two Mewras to Ahmedabad, with a farman ordering Sahebkhan, the governor of Gujarat, to ask the priest to proceed towards his Court. Sahebkhan informed the leading Jainas of Ahmedabad of this Imperial invitation. A deputation of Jainas waited upon the Acarya at Gandhar. He readily accepted the invitation thinking that much good might come out of his visit to the emperor. In a short time he reached Ahmedabad where he was received by Sahebkhan who offered him money, conveyances, horses and other means of comfort. He politely thanked him for his offer, but at the same time refused to accept them on the ground that Jaina monks were prohibited from accepting any means of physical comfort, by their religious tenets. From Ahmedabad, he started on foot towards Agra, visiting village after village, and town after town on his way, preaching the gospel of Lord Mahavira to people. On his reaching Agra, he was accorded a royal reception. It was Abul Fazl who escorted the Acarya to his place. A discussion took place between the two, specially on the questions of resurrection and redemption. Hira-Vijaya Suri made it crystal clear to Abul Fazl that a man's happiness or misery in his present life was the result of his meritorious or wicked actions during his previous life or lives. This struck fundamentally against the idea of all human beings rising from their graves on the Day of Judgment to hear the Divine Decree from the Almighty, who would administer to them even-handed justice according to the way they led their lives. The idea of a personal God thus was a needless superfluity. Abul Fazl was mightily impressed with his lucid way of explaining things, and at once took him to the Emperor, who, hearing that the holy man had come all the way on foot in accordance with the rules of his Order, greeted him with much pleasure and respect. In the talk that ensued, the Acarya explained to the emperor what he had already explained to Abul Fazl, about the nature of Supreme diety and that of a true preceptor-master and true religion. He also laid great stress upon the imperativeness of leading a pure and holy life devoted unflinchingly to the good of all beings around a man. Then he dwelt upon the five holy vows observed by all Jaina monks viz. non violence, truth, nonacceptance of anything without its being offered, celibacy and nonpossession. Then Akbar requested him to read his future from the position of the stars, but the sage replied that he could not comply with that request because Jaina monks were forbidden by a religious tenet, to read any one's future or to make prediction.

________________ and as a token of his admiration for him he offered him a large number of religious books, an offer which the monk at first was disinclined to accept but which he accepted when pressed by the importunities of Abul Fazl and Thansing. A library was opened at Agra and all these books were placed there under the charge of Thansing. After the monsoon of 1582 A.D. the Emperor had another audience with the Acarya at Abul Fazl's palace. This time he offered him a large sum of money, horses, elephants and other things; but the sage politely refused the offer saying that a Jaina monk was never to accept anything pertaining to material comfort from any one. When pressed by the emperor to ask for something for him and thus to afford him an opportunity of being useful to him in some way, the sage requested him to release all the prisoners, to set free all the caged birds, and to prohibit the slaughter of animals at least during the eight days of jaina holidays known as Paryusana. The Emperor readily complied with this request of the sage and instantly issued orders prohibiting animal-slaughter for 12 days. This order was later on extended to the Naoroz day. Fishing was prohibited at the lake Damara, a large lake stretching over 12 Yojanas near Fatehpur Sikri. The emperor took a vow to refrain thenceforward from hunting, a favourite pastime of his. In June 1584 A.D. (S.Y. 1641 first Asadha) the title "Jagadguru" (World Preceptor) was conferred upon the Acarya. In celebration of this auspicious occasion, birds encaged on the banks of Damara were set free. In conformity with the wishes of the emperor, the title "Upadhyaya" was conferred upon Santicandra. The Suri passed the monsoons of 1584, 1585 and 1586 A.D. at Agra, Abhiramabad and Agra respectively. Then he left Agra for Gujarat, leaving Santicandra at the Court.

Readers desirous of having a full account should consult this, "Jagadguru Kavya" and "Krpa-Rasa-Kosa" all in Sanskrit; other sources of information are "Hiravijaya Rasa"(in Gujarati) by Rsabhadasa, and the inscriptions in Sanskrit at Satrunjaya, especially the long record (No. XII Epi.

________________ the merciful deeds of the Emperor.) He used to recite these verses in the presence of the Emperor, who always held a high opinion about him. When Santicandra started for Gujarat in 1587A.D., the Emperor issued farmans prohibiting the slaughter of animals, and proclaiming the abolition of the Jazia tax (a tax levied on Hindus). For six months out of the year, animal-slaughter was prohibited. The six month consisted of the previous 12 days which include 8days of Paryusana, the Naoroz day all Sundays, days of Sophian Id, equinoxes, the month of his birth, days of Mihira, the month of Rajab, and the birth-days of his sons." In support of this, we find in Al-Badaoni, (p.321, Blochman) :- "In these days (991 H. E.- 1583 A. D. and thereafter) new orders were given. The killing of animals on certain days was forbidden, as on Sundays, because this day is sacred to the Sun; during the first eighteen days of the month Farwardin; the whole month of Aban (the month in which His Majesty was born) and on several other days, to please the Hindus. This order was extended over the whole realm, and capital punishment was inflicted on every one who acted against the command. Many a family was ruined, and his property confiscated." (Lowe). The term "Hindus" in the extract above means "Jainas", because Jaina only made endeavours to preach and practise the prevention of animal-slaughter. Akbar fasted during these days. Abul Fazl says: -"During the time of these fasts, His Majesty abstained altogether from meat, as religious penance, gradually extending the several fasts during a year over six months and even more, with a view to eventually discontinuing the use of meat altogether." Aine Akbari, Vol. I, p. 200). Mr. Vincent Smith, in his "Akbar"p. 167, says:-"Akbar's action in abstaining almost wholly from eating meat and in issuing stringent prohibitions resembling those of Asoka, restricting to the narrowest possible limits the destruction of animal life, certainly was taken in obedience to the doctrine of his Jain teachers." Santicandra went to Gujarat, leaving Bhanucandra in his place. 3. Bhanucandra Bhanucandra and his pupil Siddhicandra continued to stay at Court during the remaining part of Akbar's life and during the rule of Jahangir also. Bhanucandra had accompanied Akbar to Kasmir. While the Emperor was strolling on the banks of the lake named Jayanal Lanka, he requested TAHT 311 31961 - , 2005 - 103

________________ him to abolish the tax which was then levied on Jaina pilgrims to Mount Satrunjaya. The Emperor graciously complied with his request. An imperial firman was issued making grant of the Hill to Hira-Vijaya Suri, and it was despatched to him in 1592 A.D. A detailed account of Bhanucandra is given in the Sanskrit work entitled "Bhanucandra Gani Carita'' composed by his pupil Siddhicandra, which is nothing but his biography. 4. Siddhicandra He was a favourite and talented pupil of Bhanucandra. A handsome youth and a great scholar of Sanskrit and Persian, he made a profound impression upon Akbar. he performed 108 avadhanas (i.e. attending to 108 things at a time), a marvellous feat of memory. The Emperor, much pleased and highly impressed with this, conferred upon him the title "Khush-faham" (a man of sharp intellect). He is the author of the above Bhanucandra Carita. More details about him will be found in that work which is to be published as No. 15 of singhi Jaina Series. 5. Vijayasena Suri During the monsoon of 1592 A.D. (S.Y. 1649 Hindi) Hira-Vijaya Suri was residing at Radhanpur. It was there that he received the imperial farman making him the grant of Mount Satrunjaya. He also received an imperial call from Lahore, to send his pupil Vijaya-Sena Suri there as Akbar wanted to meet him. In response to the call, he directed his pupil to start for Lahore and to pay a visit to the Emperor there. After the monsoon was over, Vijaya-Sena (on Margasirsa Sukla 3rd S.Y. 1649 Monday 27th November 1592 A.D.) started for Lahore and reached it on the 12th day of the bright half of Jyestha S.Y. 1650, (Thursday 31st May 1593 A.D.). One of his pupils, Nandivijaya by name, performed eight avadhanasattending to eight things at a time. the Emperor, favourably impressed with the performance, conferred upon him the title "Khush-faham"(a man of sharp intellect). Some non-Jainas told Akbar that the Jainas did not believe in God. Upon this, the Emperor requested Vijaya-Sena Suri to hold a debate at his Court with the learned Brahmins, on the subject of the existence or otherwise of God. The debate was dully conducted, and Vijayasena, quoting chapter and verse from the scriptures, marshalling facts and arguments based upon sound logic, gave a lucid exposition of the Jainaview of God, and convinced and silenced the Brahmins. On another occasion the Suri convinced the Emperor of the necessity of prohibiton 104 D - THAT Yzu sich 128

________________ of the slaughter of cows, bulls, she-buffaloes and he-buffaloes, and of repealing the unedifying law which empowered the State to confiscate the property of those persons who died heir-less, and of capturing prisoners as hostages. Convinced of the harmful nature of these things, the Emperor issued farmans prohibiting al these things. At the instance of the Emperor, the Suri conferred the title "Upadhyaya" upon Bhanucandra. On this occasion, Abul Fazl gave 600 Rupees and horses in charity. Pleased with Suri's ability to score success over Brahmins in the debates at the Court, the Emperor conferred on him the title "Savai Hiravijaya Suri' (i.e. in a way superior to even HiraVijaya Suri). He spent two monsoons at Lahore. When he departed for Gujarat, imperial firmans about the prohibition of animal-slaughter, confiscation of property, and the capture of prisoners were presented to him. He started for Gujarat in 1596 A.D. By the end of that year, HiraVijaya Suri died at Una in Kathiawar. [A detailed account of Vijaya Sena Suri will be found in:- "Vijaya-prascsti Kavya"a work in Sanskrit which is virtually his biography; 6th Chapter of "Vijayadeva-Suri-Mahatmyam"; inscriptions of S.Y. 1656 (No. 454 Jinavijaya II), S.Y. 1659 and 1661. (Nos. 913 and 1121 Buddhi. II), S.Y. 1662 and 1664 (Nos. 511 and 512, Jina. II), S. Y. 1666 (No. 406, Buddhi. II)]. All the five Jaina teachers mentioned above belonged to Jaina Svetambara Tapa Gaccha and hailed from Gujarat. For them the readers are referred to C's article "Hiravijaya Suri or the Jains at the Court of Akbar' and V. Smith's article 'Jain Teachers of Akbar' and his book 'Akbar the Great Mughal' One prominent Jaina teacher with whom Akbar came into contact, was a member of the Jain Svetambara Kharatara Gaccha. His name was Jinacandra Suri. European scholars do not seem to have taken any notice of him. That is all the more reason why we shall dwell upon him along with his pupil at some length below. 6-7. Jinacandra Suri and Jinasimha Suri In 1591 A.D. Akbar was at Lahore. There he heard that Jinacandra Suri was also a great Jaina teacher. So he called Mantri Karmacandra, a lay member of the Kharatara Gaccha and asked him everything about the preceptor. An imperial firman was given to him inviting the holy man to the Court. The Suri received the firman at Cambay. He immediately started. At Jalor, he passed the monsoon. In Magsar of S.Y. 1648, (November 1591 A.D.), he started for Lahore and reached it on the 12th day of the bright half of Fagan of S.Y. 1648 (Monday 14th February 1592 A.D.).

________________ was "Id" day of the year. Karmacandra escorted him to the Court. The Emperor had a private audience with him, in which he expressed his delight at the prompt way in which the Suri had responded to his invitation. He requested him to be present at his Court whenever religious debates and discussions were going on. He further said that all his desires were fulfilled and he wanted the Suri's blessings to the effect that his heart might always remain filled with compassion, and that his son also might be of an equally compassionate nature. At his request the Suri passed the monsoon at Lahore. Seeing that the Emperor respected him highly, the people called him "Bade Guru" (Great teacher). One day the Suri heard that the temples near Dwarka were demolished by Navaranga Khan. He thereupon requested the Emperor to protect al the Jaina temples. Akbar issued a firman proclaiming the Grant of Satrunjaya and other Jaina holy places to Karmacandra Mantri. A firman to the same effect, bearing the imperial seal, was sent to Ajam Khan (Ilhai 36, i.e. 1592 A.D., S.Y. 1649 Hindi). Before starting on his expedition to Kasmir, the Emperor called the Acarya and had his "dharma-labha" (religious blessings). At that time he issued a firman prohibiting slaughter of animals for further 7 days from Asad Sud 9th to 15th. It was dispatched to all his 11 Subahs (Governors). At the request of Akbar, Manasimha, a favourite disciple of Acarya, with Dungara (Harsavisala) and others of his pupils accompanied him to Kasmir, so that he might have religious talks whenever he so desired. It was at the instance of Manasimha, that Akbar prohibited fishing in all the lakes of Kasmir. After the death of the ruler of Kasmir, it was resubjugated. Akbar returned to Lahore (29th December 1592; S.Y. 1649 Pausa Sudi 6th Friday). Akbar then conferred the title "Yuga-Pradhana" (Supreme in the Age) on Jinacandra Suri, and the title "Acarya" on Manasimha, whose name was changed to Jinasimha Suri. The occasion was celebrated with great eclat on Fagan Sud. S.Y. 1649, Friday 23rd February, 1593, by Karmacandra, who was encouraged and supported by the Emperor himself. Fishing and animal-slaughter were prohibited in Combay for one year, and in Lahore animal-slaughter was prohibited for the day of the festival. (From "Karmacandra Vamsa Prabandha a Sanskrit poem by Jayasoma Upadhyaya at Lahore in S.Y. 1650, Vijaya-dasami (Tuesday 9th October 1593 A.D.) and Sanskrit thereon and Gujarati Karmacandra V.

________________ The firman given to Jinacandra Suri was lost or misplaced. Upon this his pupil Jinasimha Suri applied to the Emperor for another firman Akbar readily granted on 31st Khurdad, Elahi 59 (1605 A.D.), referring therein to the firmans granted to Hira-Vijaya Suri and to Jinacandra Suri, prohibiting the slaughter of animals and flesh-eating during the 12 days of Paryusana, and during the seven days from Asad Sud 9th to 15th ("Sarasvati", June, 1912, a Hindi monthly"). (For a detailed account, Nahta's Hindi book entitled 'Yogapradhana Sri Jinacandra Suri' be consulted.) Other Jaina Teachers at the Court of Akbar We have finished the accounts of great Jaina teachers at the Court of Akbar. Now we shall deal with some minor Jaina teachers who visited the Royal Court. 8. Padmasundra Padmasundara was a Jaina monk' staying at Agra. Akbar had formed a high opinion of him and bore great affection towards him. It is said that on one occasion Akbar made the following remarks about him while talking with Hira-Vijaya Suri:-"There lived some time ago a learned man named Padmasundara. He was my dear friend. He had studied at Benares. Once a proud brahmin pandit began to style himself 'Pandita-Raja'. Thereupon Padmasundara challenged him to a debate in which he utterly vanquished him. Unfortunately, he died after some time, leaving me in constant sorrow. I have preserved all his manuscripts and scriptures in my palace, because I found that his pupils were not worthy enough to receive so rich a heritage. It is my wish that you accept this collection as a gift from me" (Hira-Saubhagya-Kavya, Ch. 14, Verses 91 to 94). 9. Nandivijaya Nandivijaya was a pupil of Vijayasena Suri, and had accompanied him to the Court of Akbar, at Lahore. He performed eight avadhanas at the Court, where many feudatory kings and barons were present. The Emperor who was highly impressed with the performance, conferred on him the title "Khush-faham" (a man of sharp intellect): 10. Samayasundra It was from Lahore that Akbar started on his second expedition to Kasmir, on Thursday 10th August, 1592, ($ravana Sud. 13, S.Y. 1649, Chaitradi), and encamped outside the City, in the garden of Raja Sri tulasI prajJA aprela - jUna, 2005 107

________________ Ramadasa. A Court was held there, which was attended by prince Salim, several vassal kings, learned brahmins and pandits. Jinacandra Suri, with his pupils, one of whom was Samayasundara, attended the Court on invitation. There he read out to the Emperor a work composed by Samayasundara. It was "Astalaksi". Jinacandra explained to the Emperor that there was in it a short sentence consisting of three simple sanskrit words (rAjAno dadate saukhyam) which could be interpreted in eight hundred thousands ways." 11. Harsasara He was a monk belonging to the Kharatara Gaccha. He had once an interview with Akbar." 12. Jayasoma 8 Jayasoma once scored a victory at a debate conducted at the Court of Akbar. He was a member of Kharatara Gaccha ans was invested with the title "Pathaka" on the 2nd of Fagan, S.Y. 1649. The reader will remember that on the same day Akbar had conferred the title "Yuga Pradhana" to Jinacandra Suri, and the title "Acarya" to Manasimha at Lahore. Both there also were members of the Kharatara Gaccha. 13. Sadhukirti In the presence of many learned men at the Court of Akbar, Sadhukirti vanquished a proud disputant, in a debate held on the subject of a Jaina religious ceremony, called "Pausadha". Akbar, thereupon, conferred on him the title "Vadindra"." A perusal of the foregoing pages will make it evident to the reader that many Jaina teachers both of Tapa and of Kharatara Groups, attended constantly the Court of Akbar. Chief among them, -persons whi vastly influenced the mental and spiritual outlook of Akbar were Hiravijaya Suri, Vijayasena Suri and Bhanucandra Upadhyaya. All the three were members of the Tapa Gaccha. From S.Y. 1639 onwards some Jaina teachers or others stayed at his Court. Hiravijaya Suri explained to him all the principal tenets of Jainism, and he always inspired the highest respect from him. Since then, the Jainas exercised far greater influence upon his habits and mode of life than did the Jesuits. The tax levied on the pilgrims to the Satrunjaya Hill was abolished; all the Jaina holy places were placed under the control of the Jainas themselves. It was at the bidding of his Jaina teachers that Akbar gave up flesh-eating and prohibited the killing or 108 tulasI prajJA aMka 128

________________ encaging of birds and animals. (Vide p. 406, "A Short History of Muslim Rule in India", 1* Ed., pp. 406-7, by Prof. Ishvarprasad). Pinheiro, a Portuguese priest, stated in a letter from Lahore dated 3rd December 1595, "He (Akbar) follows the sect of the Vertei (Sk. VratisJainas)." Mr. Vincent Smith rightly states:-"Akbar never came under Buddhist influence in any degree whatsoever. No Buddhist took part in the debates on religion held at Fatehpur Sikri, and Abul Fazl never met any learned Buddhist. Consequently, his knowledge of Buddhism was extremely slight. Certain persons who took part in the debates and who have been supposed erroneously to have been Buddhists, were really Jains from Gujarat. Many Jains visited the Imperial Court or resided there at various times during at least twenty years from 1578 to 1597 A.D. and enjoyed ample facilities for access to the Emperor ("Jain Teachers of Akbar", Bhandarkar Com. Vol. p. 275). "The potency of the influence exercised by Jaina teachers on the ideas and policy of Akbar has not been recognised by historians. No reader of the works of Elphinstone, Von Noer or Malleson would suspect that he listened to the sermons of the Jain holy men so attentively that he is reckoned by Jain writers among the converts to their religion, or that many of his acts from 1582 A.D. onwards were the direct outcome of his partial acceptance of the Jain gospel. Even Blochman failed to perceive that three of the most learned men of the time, enumerated in Abul Fazl's long list, were eminent Jain gurus or religious teachers, namely Hiravijaya Suri, Vijayasena Suri, and Bhanucandra Upadhyaya. The first of them the most distinguished of the three, and credited by Jain authors with the honour of having converted Akbar (to Jainism), is placed by Abul-Fazl along with twenty others, including Saikh Mubaraka in the first of the five classes of the learned-among the select few who understand the mystery of both the worlds." The other two also were the most influential persons who initiated the Emperor into the significance of Jain doctrines. "Akbar's action in abstaining almost wholly from eating meat and in issuing stringent prohibitions resembling those of Asoka, restricting to the narrowest possible limits the destructions of animal life, certainly was taken in obedience to the doctrine of his Jain teachers." "The Emperor granted various favours to the Jain community. Abul Fazl made use of his opportunities (of coming into close contact with jain Tetit WE37051 - 577, 2005 - 109

He failed to come across any learned member of the Digambara sect, and, consequently observed that his account of the Digambara peculiarities had been written as it were in the dark." (Vide "Akbar, the Great Mogul"'; vide also the article "Jain Teachers of Akbar" in Bhandarkar Com. Vol. pp. 275& 276, by V. Smith.) For detailed incidents of Akbar's life under the influence of Jaina Priests, the readers are invited to refer to my introduction to a Sanskrit work "Bhanucandra Gani Carita" edited by me to be shortly published as No. 15 of Singhi Jaina Granthamala.12 References : 1. Abul Fazl says : - "With the magnanimity which becomes him and with his wonted zeal, he continues his search for superior men, and finds a reward in the care with which he selects such as are fit for his society."

Now, the term "Sramana" is applicable to Jainas, as well as to Buddhist monks; but as no Buddhist monk ever visited the Court of Akbar, Badaoni must have used the terms to mean Jaina monks only. 3. In one of the inscriptions (No. 118) Epi Indica Vol. II, Ch. 6) Buhler misread 714 for HIY and then stated that Hiravijaya belonged to the Safa race. This wrong statement was quoted by V. Smith in his article, "The Jain Teachers of Akbar'' Bhand. Com. Vol. p. 273. THis mistake should, however, be corrected. Hiravijaya Suri was an Osval Bania before he became a Jaina Sadhu. 4.

________________ Dignity of man in Jainism by Dr B.R. Dugar The central themes of Jain Philosophy are non-violence, non-absolutism and non-possession. Nonviolence being the core - principle, all other virtues emerged out of it and strengthens autonomy of life of every being. Non-absolutism strengthens the thought of every being and non-possession strengthens the interdependence of all existence. If you feel that every soul is autonomous, you will never trample on its right to live. If you feel that every person is a thinking person, you will not trample on her or his thoughts. If you feel that you owe nothing and no one, you will not trample and exploit the planet or your neighbour. These are the values that can care the dignity of a man and can save humanity as well from deadly acts of war, economic exploitation and environmental destruction. A significant contribution of Jain philosophy is that it recognises the dignity of all living beings and not of human dignity alone. Non-duality of the self and the other living beings has been explained in the Acaranga Sutra (5.100) You are indeed he whom, you intend to hurt. You are indeed he who, you intend to govern. You are indeed he who, you intend to torture. You are indeed he who, you intend to enslave. You are indeed he who, you intend to kill. It is also mentioned in Dasavealiyam Sutra (4.9) that he who treats living being as self and view-them with equanimity...escapes from the bondage of evil deeds. TEHT ESTI 31001 - 594, 2005 ] 113

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Jainas also announced that all souls are similar, i.e. the faculty of accomplishing highest self-evolution equally lies innate in all the souls (every soul is potentially divine). This principle here has clarified the position that 'soul is supreme soul" i.e. there is no separate entity like creator. But the very soul when it accomplishes the highest evolution by disciplined conduct, actives the supreme status. The power of manifestation of self into absolute is in the man itself. Because of this excellence of man as proclaimed in Jain religion, God having all worldly power becomes quite unimportant. It is needless to mention that to achieve the absolute good man has been given importance in compassion to other living beings or even to god & Goddess. To achieve the goal of human dignity Jainism advocates establishing social equality. Against the glaring practices of social discrimination Jaina forged their opposition and gave full freedom to one and all without discrimination of caste, creed, sex and colour. In this way the society as envisaged by Lord Mahavira, was a society where social stratification was not hereditary and where complete freedom was granted to the man to change to the class of their own aptitude. As mentioned in Acaranga Sutra (2.49): "soul is neither high nor low, one should not therefore covet status". The worldly soul (living beings) transmigrates from higher to lower pedigree and vice-versa; therefore, truly speaking, he is neither low nor high. In other words, the distinction of class is only arbitrary. It has been also said in Uttaradhayayan Sutra (25.29-31): "One does not become a Sramana by tonsure, nor a Brahamana by chanting the sacred syllable 'om', nor a Muni by living in the caves, nor a Tapasa by wearing clothes of grass and bark. One becomes a monk by equanimity, a Brahamana by chastity, a Muni by knowledge and a Tapas by penance". In other words a man does not become great by birth, but he becomes great by his deeds. In this manner Jainism refutes casteism and class system and advocates for the dignity of man. Jainism recognises the principle of interdependence also. It has been mentioned in Jaina scriptures that everyone and everything is interconnected as part of the living Earth. We are bound together in a web of mutuality. We need each other to survive and flourish - humans and all of nature. We are not alone and are surrounded & sustained at all moments by the miracle of evolution and the great mystery of life. Therefore, we should respect all living beings. Through respect for all life, we can begin to restore our relationship with all living beings including man and nature and free ourselves from our narrow prejudices. The 114 TAHUI Bich 128

________________ principle of 'live and let live' also symbolizes that every being should so much restrict and limit his activity that he may not come into clash with any other's life and treat all others like his soul. When this dignity of selfsoul as similar to other souls springs forth, then that man becomes vigilant to his responsibilities and turns affectionate and tender hearted to all the beings. Dr. L.M. Singhvi, Former High-Commissioner of India in U.K. says (in Jain Declaration on Nature): "the concept of universal interdependence underpins the Jain doctrine of knowledge, known as Anekantavada or the doctrine of manifold aspects. This doctrine trains mind to give due respect to the feelings and ways of life of other persons and communities. It makes one tolerant towards others' point of view thereby promoting interpersonal relation as well as dignity of an individual". "Jain cosmology recognizes the fundamental natural phenomenon of symbiosis or mutual dependence... The ancient Jain scriptual aphorism Parasparopgraho Jivanam (all life is bound together by mutual support and interdependence) is refreshingly contemporary in its premise and perspective. ..... Life is viewed as a gift of togetherness, accommodation and assistance in a universe timing with interdependent constituents." Therefore everyone should be respected. To maintain the dignity of man, Jainism applied non-violence in a positive way, that is, in the direction of increasing the welfare of human being as well as other living beings. Jainism always appealed to the people to bear good intentions about the property of others, to show active interest in the welfare of the needy persons, and to take steps to ameliorate the miserable condition of afflicted living beings including insects, birds, animals and human beings. This approach to lessen the miseries of men includes vrata i.e. vow of aparigraha. Aparigraha involves avoiding the fault of parigraha which consists in desiring more than what is needed by an individual. Accumulating even necessary articles in large numbers, expressing wonder at the prosperity of others, excessive greed and changing the proportion of existing possessions are all forms of parigraha. The vow of Aparigraha is very noteworthy as it indirectly aims at economic equalization and eradication of poverty by peacefully preventing undue accumulation of wealth in individual hands. It has been also said by Acharya Bhikshu (Anukampa 7.10-27) - man should not be means to acquiring wealth or other things. His dignity should be maintained. On utilitarian grounds a person should not be grouped as rich or poor and minority or majority because of his force and independent existence. Acaranga Sutra says (2.49): "frequently a soul is tulasI prajJA aprela - jUna, 2005 115

________________ born with high, frequently with low - status. So it is neither high nor low. One should not, therefore, covet status". "Knowing this truth about status, who would speak of his status, who would be proud of it and who would remain attached to a particular thing or object?" Acharya Mahaprajna says (Acaranga Bhasyam Sutra 49): "knowing that he himself as well as others have passed through high and low pedigrees, why should one uphold the position of pride? What should one covet for? This doctrine of pedigree relates to the caste, power beauty, acquisition and fortune. The doctrine of pride originates from the imaginary views of ones personal qualifications and merits. One has already experienced all this in the past. Why should, therefore, one feel elated on getting to a high position or feel depressed when relegated a low status?" Such type of living and thinking pattern can get rid of the problem of dignity.
