variations that manifest themselves in the Vyañjana Paryāya of a man viewed as one indivisible whole. 34
Exclusiveness of a viewpoint is always faulty and unscientific says the following verse :
सवियप्प-णिव्वियप्पं इय पुरिसं जो भणेज अवियप्पं । . सवियप्पमेव वा णिच्छएण ण स निच्छिो समए ॥ ३५ ॥
Thus when in fact a man is both devoid of subdivisions and endowed with subdivisions to say that he is absolutely devoid of subdivisions or to say that he is nothing but subdivisions is faulty and unscientific.
Man serves as merely one of the many illustrations. In fact all V.yañjana Paryāyas like man are both Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa, with and without subdivisions.
If under these circumstances, a man views a thing exclusively from one of the two points of view it can be definitely said about the man that he has not grasped the secret of the Doctrine of versatility of aspects. 35
The following verses state the main feature : of the Sapta-bhangi or the Heptagonic forms of ontological enquiry :
अत्यंतरभूएहि य णियएहि य दोहि समयमाईहिं । वयणविसेसाईयं दव्वमवत्तव्वयं पडइ ।। ३६ ।।
