## Introduction Just as a solitary, eternal entity cannot be the cause of any action, similarly, in the view of an eternal, unchanging soul (Purusha), neither the origin nor the manifestation of virtuous actions is possible. This is because an eternally existing entity cannot undergo any transformation, be it creation or manifestation. Concepts like merit, demerit, rebirth (Paryayaantara), bondage, and liberation are all outcomes of change, which are impossible in the context of a solitary, eternal (Aparinaami Purusha) entity. If the eternal is always unchanging (Kutasya), then it cannot undergo any modification. Without modification, how can concepts like merit, demerit, etc., which are specific states occurring at different times, be possible? This is a point worth considering. From verses 41 to 54, fourteen verses present arguments against the view of a solitary, non-eternal entity (Kshanikavada). It is argued that even if we accept the complete impermanence (Kshanika) of an entity, the aforementioned concepts of rebirth, etc., cannot arise. This is because, due to the lack of connection (Dhrauvyatmaka Bandhana - strong bond) between past and future moments, the flow of knowledge, such as recognition, memory, experience, desire, etc., cannot occur. In such a scenario, neither can the past moment be considered the cause nor the future moment the effect. In the view of complete impermanence, neither the origin of virtuous actions, nor the cause-effect relationship, nor the relationship of the aggressor and the victim, nor the relationship of teacher and student, nor the relationship of husband and wife, nor the relationship of mother and son, nor the state of bondage and liberation, nor the lineage of the five aggregates can be established. Verse 55 demonstrates the contradiction in accepting both complete eternity and complete impermanence (Ubhayakaanta) and the inability to express the view of neither complete eternity nor complete impermanence (Anubhayakaanta) using the term "unspeakable." Verses 56 to 60, through five verses, establish the seven-fold predication (Saptabhangi) of an entity as being partly eternal, partly non-eternal, partly both, partly neither, etc., using the logic of Syadvada. Thus, in this section, the seven-fold predication is presented in relation to the opposing pair of eternal and non-eternal, as in the previous sections. It is noteworthy that two important examples (worldly and transcendental) are presented...

________________ प्रस्तावना भी नहीं हो सकते । इसी तरह एकान्त नित्य पक्षमें पुरुषकी तरह सत्कार्यकी न उत्पत्ति सम्भव है और न अभिव्यक्ति, क्योंकि सदा विद्यमान रहने से उसमें किसी भी तरहका परिणमन ( परिवर्तन), चाहे वह उत्पत्तिरूप हो और चाहे अभिव्यक्तिरूप, नहीं बन सकता है । पुण्य, पाप, प्रेत्यभाव ( पर्यायान्तर ), बन्ध और मोक्ष ये सब परिणाम भी एकान्त नित्य ( अपरिणामी पुरुषवाद ) में असम्भव हैं । नित्य जब सदा एकरूप ( कूटस्य ) रहेगा तो उसमें कोई विकृति नहीं हो सकती । तथा बिना विकृतिके पुण्यपापादि, जो भिन्न कालोंमें होनेवाली अवस्थाविशेष हैं, कैसे सम्भव हैं, यह विचारणीय है । ४१-५४ तक चउदह कारिकाओं द्वारा एकान्त अनित्यपक्ष ( क्षणिकवाद) में दोष दिये गये हैं । कहा गया है कि वस्तुको सर्वथा अनित्य (क्षणिक) स्वीकार करनेपर भी उक्त प्रेत्यभावादि नहीं बन सकते, क्योंकि पूर्वापर क्षणोंमें परस्पर अन्वय ( ध्रौव्यात्मक बन्धन - कड़ी ) न होनेके कारण प्रत्यभिज्ञा, स्मरण, अनुभव, अभिलाषा आदि ज्ञानधारा प्रवाहित नहीं हो सकती। ऐसी दशा में न पूर्व क्षणको कारण और न उत्तर क्षणको कार्य कहा जा सकता है । सर्वथा क्षणिकवादमें न असत्कार्य की उत्पत्ति, न कार्यकारणभाव, न हिंस्यहिंसकभाव, न गुरुशिष्यभाव, न पतिपत्नीभाव, न मातृपुत्रभाव, न बद्धमुक्तभाव और न स्कन्धसन्ततियाँ ही बन सकती हैं । ५५ के द्वारा सर्वथा नित्य और सर्वथा अनित्य दोनों (उभयैकान्त) के स्वीकार में विरोध और न सर्वथा नित्य तथा न सर्वथा अनित्य दोनोंके निषेधरूप ( अनुभयैकान्त) में 'अवाच्य' शब्दसे उसका कथन न कर सकने - का दोष प्रदर्शित किया गया है । ५६-६० तक ५ कारिकाओं द्वारा स्याद्वादनयसे वस्तुको कथञ्चित् नित्य, कथञ्चित् अनित्य, कथञ्चित् उभय, कथञ्चित् अनुभय आदि सप्तभङ्गात्मक अनेकान्त सिद्ध किया है । इस प्रकार इस परिच्छेद में नित्यानित्यके विरोधी युगलकी अपेक्षा पूर्ववत् सप्तभङ्गी दिखायी गई है । उल्लेखनीय है कि दो महत्त्वपूर्ण दृष्टान्तों (लौकिक एवं लोकोत्तर) Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
