The Mahapachchama-innay is a great rejection, in practice everyone observes and follows the auspicious time for initiation, etc.
The present text, Mahapratyakhyan, has been rejected by Muni Ji due to the reason given in the 62nd verse of this text, as stated by Jayacharya. The essence of this verse is that this being has enjoyed the supreme pleasures of Devenndra, Chakravartitva and kingdoms for an infinite number of times, yet it has not been satisfied. In this regard, Muni Ji says, "In this verse, it is stated that all beings have attained Devenndra and Chakravartitva for an infinite number of times. Every being cannot attain Chakravartitva for an infinite number of times. This statement is against the Agamas, it cannot be accepted." In this regard, our submission is that firstly, this statement is not for all beings, as Muni Ji has said. In the original verse, it is nowhere explicitly written that every being can attain Chakravartitva for an infinite number of times, and secondly, this is a didactic verse, its purpose is only to show that this being has not been satisfied even after attaining the best pleasures many times. It is not appropriate to take this general statement in a meaning contrary to its spirit. An Indian is poor - this is a general statement, it would not be appropriate to take it to mean that no Indian is wealthy.
Muni Ji, in his statement, has used the words 'all beings' once and 'every being' another time, emphasizing each word specifically, only then has he declared this text invalid. In our opinion, Muni Ji's misconception arose due to his inability to understand the word 'patta' written in this verse correctly, possibly Muni Ji has interpreted the word 'patta' as 'every'. In fact, the word 'patta' does not mean 'every' but 'obtained'. If the word 'patta' is interpreted in this way here, then Muni Ji would not have had such a misconception.
Here we would like to clarify one more thing, that is, all the statements in the Agamic texts are relative. No Jina-vchan is absolute. If the Agamas are interpreted from an absolute perspective, then even in the thirty-two Agamas which the Sthanakvasi and Terapanthi sects consider authentic, many such inconsistencies can be seen which will be considered against their tradition. The reality is that...
