EDITOR'S NOTE
The 40th gatha of Sthaviravali (Sū. 6) is as follows:
sumuniyaniccaniccam sumuniya suttatthadharayam niccam vamde ham lohiccam sabbhavubbhāvaṇātaccam || 40 ||
In all the mss. of the Nandisutra this gatha is found in this form only. And the Curni and the Tikās explain this gatha, following this version. But Manikyasekharasūri accepts this gatha in the form mentioned below.
sumuniyaniccaniccam sumuniyasuttatthadharayam vande | sabbhāvubbhāvaṇaya tattham lohiccaṇāmāņam ||
As already stated, in the Jaina Agamas the varied data regarding the five jñānas are found-in some they are detailed and systematically arranged while in others they are scanty and scattered. To acquaint the scholars with all such places we are giving below a list of Agamic sources where we find the material about the five jñānas.
Sutra 8–
The sutra beginning with ṇāṇam pañcaviham pannattam' is found verbatim in the Anuyogadvārasūtra (suo 1).
The meaning of this sutra is identical with that of the sutra 463 (Sthana 5 U. 3) 63 of the Sthänängasútra. Again, the Sthänängasūtra mentions three types of ajñāna (Sthão 3 U. 3 Suo 187, p. 153). Moreover, it describes, in brief, the nature of the five jñānas (Sthão 2 U. 1 Su. 71 p. 49).
Sutra 12
Those who have attained three noindriyapratyakṣajñānas, viz. avadhi, manaḥparyaya and kevalajñāna are called Jina, Kevali and Arhat (Sthānanga Stha. 3 U. 4 Su 220 p. 174, Sthão 10 U. 3 Suo 754, p. 505.
Sutra 13—
Prajñāpanāsutra pada 33 sẽ. 1982, p. 415, Samavāyāngasutra Su. 153 and the commentary (tikā) thereon, p. 145-146.
Sutra 15–
Sthānanga Stha. 6 U. 3 Su. 625 p. 370. Sthānanga Stha 2 U. 2 Su 80. The Sthänängäsütra describes the nature of the seven types of the vibhangajñāna (Stha. 7 U. 3 Suo 542 p. 382-83).
63. Readers are requested to refer to Sampadakiya (pp. 40-53) where all the original texts are extensively quoted.
