प्रथम परिच्छेद देवागमादि विभूतियाँ आप्त-गुरुत्वकी हेतु नहीं दवागम-नभोयान-चामरादि-विभूतयः । मायाविष्वपि दृश्यन्ते नातस्त्वमसि नो महान् ॥१॥ (हे वीरजिन !) देवोंके आगमनके कारण-स्वर्गादिकके देव आपके जन्मादिक कल्याणकोंके अवसरपर आपके पास आते हैं इसलिए-आकाशमें गमनके कारण-गगनमें बिना किसी विमानादिकी सहायताके आपका सहज-स्वभावसे विचरण होता है इस हेतु-और चामरादि-विभूतियोंके कारण-चुंवर, छत्र, सिंहासन, देवदुन्दुभि, पुष्पवृष्टि, अशोकवृक्ष, भामण्डल और दिव्यध्वनि-जैसे अष्ट प्रातिहार्योंका तथा समवसरणकी दूसरी विभूतियोंका आपके अथवा आपके निमित्त प्रादुर्भाव होता है इसकी वजहसे-- आप हमारे-मुझ-जैसे परीक्षा-प्रधानियोंके-गुरु-पूज्य अथवा आप्तपुरुष नहीं हैं भले ही समाजके दूसरे लोग या अन्य लौकिक जन इन देवागमनादि अतिशियोंके कारण आपको गुरु, पूज्य अथवा आप्त मानते हों। क्योंकि ये अतिशय मायावियोंमें-मस्करिपूरणादि इन्द्रजालियोंमें ... भी देखे जाते हैं। इनके कारण ही यदि आप गुरु, पूज्य अथवा आप्त हों तो वे मायावी इन्द्रजालिये भी गुरु, पूज्य तथा आप्त ठहरते हैं; जब कि वे वैसे नहीं हैं। अतः उक्त कारण-कलाप व्यभिचार-दोषसे दूषित होनेके कारण अनैकान्तिक हेतु है, उससे आपकी गुरुता एवं विशिष्टताको पृथक

The first chapter, the glories of the arrival of the gods, etc., are not the reasons for your being a revered teacher. The glories of the arrival of the gods, aerial travel, and the use of fly whisks, etc., are seen even in magicians. Therefore, you are not a great being. (1) (O Veerajina!) The gods come to you on the occasion of your birth and other auspicious events, because of the arrival of the gods. You travel through the sky effortlessly, without the aid of any aircraft, because of your natural ability to do so. And the glories of fly whisks, etc., such as fly whisks, umbrellas, thrones, divine drums, showers of flowers, Ashoka trees, celestial discs, and divine sounds, as well as the other glories of the Samavasarana, manifest themselves for you or on your behalf. Because of this, you are not a revered teacher or a liberated soul for us, those who are primarily concerned with testing, even though other people in society or other worldly people may consider you a teacher, revered, or liberated because of these extraordinary glories of the arrival of the gods, etc. Because these extraordinary glories are also seen in magicians, who perform illusions like the fulfillment of desires, etc. If you are a teacher, revered, or liberated because of these glories, then those magicians are also teachers, revered, and liberated; but they are not. Therefore, the aforementioned reasons are tainted by the fault of contradiction and are therefore non-absolute reasons. They do not separate your greatness and uniqueness.
