[91118 841] Even though there is no feeling of pain, the term "parishah" is used due to the presence of dravyakarma. Similarly, even though there is no cessation of thought due to the complete destruction of jnanaavarana, the term "dhyana" is used due to the result of karma destruction. Alternatively, the remaining part of the sentence "they do not exist" should be assumed for the eleven Jinas, as the sutras are suggestive. This is based on the assumption that "the remaining part of the sentence should be assumed and the sentence is subject to the speaker." The remaining part of the sentence "they do not exist" is assumed due to the absence of feelings like hunger, etc., which are aided by the rise of moha. The statement that "parishah" is not appropriate in the absence of feelings like hunger, etc., is true. However, even in the absence of feelings, the term "parishah" is used here due to the presence of dravyakarma. Just as the term "dhyana" is used even in the absence of cessation of thought due to the complete destruction of jnanaavarana, which reveals the secrets of all substances, due to the result of karma destruction, similarly, the term "parishah" should be understood here. Alternatively, the remaining part of the sentence "there are no eleven parishah in the Jina Bhagavans" should be assumed, as the sutras are suggestive. It is also accepted that "the remaining part of the sentence should be assumed and the sentence is subject to the speaker." The remaining part of the sentence "they do not exist" is assumed due to the absence of feelings like hunger, etc., which are aided by the rise of moha.
Special Meaning - The Jina Bhagavans experience the rise of asata vedaniya, which is the cause of feelings like hunger, etc. Therefore, the eleven parishah are referred to here from the perspective of the cause of the Jina Bhagavans. However, the question arises whether the Jina Bhagavans actually experience the eleven parishah like hunger, etc. The commentary provides two solutions to this question. Firstly, the existence of the eleven parishah like hunger, etc., is indicated due to the presence of the cause of their existence, but from the perspective of action, the Jina Bhagavans do not experience the eleven parishah like hunger, etc. Therefore, from this perspective, the remaining part of the sentence "they do not exist" is assumed and their non-existence is stated there. Now, it needs to be understood how the Jina Bhagavans do not experience the eleven parishah like hunger, etc. They are not found in this time, so it cannot be known by direct observation. Only the arguments that support the Agamas remain, by relying on which this can be understood. Therefore, they are indicated here -
1. The Kevali Jinas do not have nigoda and trasas in their bodies. They are the possessors of the supreme audarik body due to the absence of kshina moha in their gunasthan. Therefore, they do not experience the hindrance of hunger, thirst, and diseases, as the cause of these does not exist. The special quality that exists in the bodies of the Devas due to the absence of these beings is multiplied infinitely in their bodies. 2. As one ascends the ladder of श्रेणि, the proportion of auspicious natures increases infinitely, and the proportion of inauspicious natures decreases infinitely at every moment. Therefore, the rise of asata nature in the thirteenth gunasthan is not so powerful that it can be considered as an indicator of actions like hunger, etc. 3. The stimulation of asata occurs only up to the sixth gunasthan, not beyond. Therefore, in the absence of stimulation, the vedaniya karma is unable to cause feelings like hunger, etc. Since the bodies of the Kevali Jinas do not require water and food, how can they experience hunger and thirst due to their non-availability? 1.
