________________ JAINA ONTOLOGY Take for exampie, the case of fourteen juvasthanas, fourteen gunasthanas, fourteen (or twenty) marganasthanas. In Samavayanga fourteen jivasthānas are mentioned under the title bhutagrama, fourteen gunasthanas under an obscure longish title while fourteen or (twenty) mārgaṇāsthānas are not mentioned at all. Again, the seven alternatives of the Saptabhangi doctrine are mentioned neither in Sthānanga nor in Samaväyānga; similarly, while seven nayas are mentioned in Sthānānga, four niksepas are mentioned neither in Sthānānga nor in Samavayang. Lastly in the case of comparatively large numbers Samavāyānga often refers to the karmas whose bandha takes place in this or that gunasthana and this pre-supposes the application of the doctrine of karma-bandha not only to the basic karma types but also to their sub-types. These and such facts have to be studied carefully and legitimate conclusions drawn therefrom. 166 Jain Education International * * For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
