[Q. 2] Bhante! What is the reason that an omniscient (Kevali or Keval-jnani) knows and sees the sounds within and beyond the range of
his sense organs (paargat), and so on up to... infinite (endless) kinds of sounds?
....
[Ans.] Gautam ! The omniscient (Kevali) knows and sees all finite
(mit) things as well as infinite (amit) things in the east. In the same way
O Gautam! That is why it is said that an omniscient (Kevali or Keval-jnani) knows and sees the sounds within and beyond the range of his sense organs (paargat), and so on up to... infinite (endless) kinds of
47
sounds?
he sees all finite things as well as infinite things in the south, west, north, zenith and nadir. The omniscient (Kevali) knows all and sees all.
The omniscient (Kevali) knows and sees from all angles (sarvatah), in all periods (sarvakaal), and in all modes (sarvabhaava). The omniscient (Kevali) is endowed with infinite knowledge (jnana) and infinite perception (darshan). The knowledge and perception of the omniscient (Kevali) is free of any and all veils.
विवेचन : मूल सूत्र में छद्मस्थ के लिए 'सुणेइ' क्रियापद का प्रयोग किया गया है जबकि केवली के लिए 'जाणइ पासइ' पद का प्रयोग किया है। इस भेद का कारण यह है कि छद्मस्थ जीव कान से शब्द सुनता है किन्तु केवली शब्द को कान से नहीं सुनते, केवलज्ञान-दर्शन से ही जानते देखते हैं।
Elaboration-In the original text the verb sunei (hear) has been used for a chhadmasth but for the omniscient (Kevali) the verb janai-pasai (knows and sees) has been used. The reason for this difference is that a chhadmasth hears sound through the sense organ of hearing, whereas
the omniscient (Kevali) does not do so, he only acquires (knows and sees)
sounds through his all enveloping knowledge and perception.
छद्मस्थ व केवली का हँसना व निद्रा लेना SLEEP AND LAUGHTER OF CHHADMASTH AND KEVALI
५. [ प्र. ] छउमत्थे णं भंते ! मणुस्से हसेज्ज वा ? उस्सुयाएज्ज वा ?
[उ. ] हंता, हसेज्ज बा, उस्सुयाएज्ज वा ।
५. [ प्र. ] भगवन् ! क्या छद्मस्थ मनुष्य हँसता तथा उत्सुक होता है ?
[ उ. ] गौतम ! हाँ, छद्मस्थ मनुष्य हँसता तथा उत्सुक होता है।
5. [Q.] Bhante! Does a person with finite cognition (chhadmasth) laugh and get inquisitive?
[Ans.] Yes, Gautam ! He laughs and gets inquisitive.
