## Samantabhadra-Bharati
[Chapter 1: Just as fire and other substances are the subject of inference or proof, they are certainly the object of someone's direct perception. The one whose subtle, internal, and distant objects are directly perceived is omniscient. Thus, the omniscient one's correct state, arrangement, or attainment is well-established.]
"O valiant Jina! You are the faultless one, devoid of ignorance and passions like attachment, free from attachment, and omniscient - you are the very Self. Because you are 'Yukti-Shastra-Avirodi-Vak' - your speech (on any subject) does not contradict reason and scriptures. And this non-contradiction is evident in that your 'Ista' - the desired truth, the doctrine of Anekanta - is not contradicted by the 'Prasiddha' - by proof or by the established 'Ekant' of others. Whereas the 'Ista' of others (like Kapila, Sugata, etc.) - their 'Ekant' views of absolute permanence, impermanence, etc. - are contradicted not only by direct perception but also by the established 'Anekanta'. Therefore, none of the proponents of these absolute 'Ekant' views are 'Yukti-Shastra-Avirodi-Vak', and hence, none are faultless and omniscient."
"The 'Ista' of those who are completely attached to their own views, the 'Aapta's', is contradicted by proof. The 'Ista' of those who are completely 'Ekant' proponents, who are outside your nectar-like doctrine, is contradicted by perception. Those who are consumed by their own 'Aapta' pride, their 'Ista' is contradicted by what is seen."
