* वे जिन-सर्वज्ञ न होते हुए भी सर्वज्ञ तुल्य थे। वे सर्वज्ञों की तरह अवितथ-यथार्थ प्ररूपणा
करते हुए, संयम तथा तप से आत्मा को भावित करते हुए विचरते थे।
____26. These Sthavir Bhagavans (most venerated senior ascetics) mohad profound knowledge of their own tenets and scriptures as well as
as those of others. Thoroughly honing their knowledge of their own doctrines through repeated study, they roamed around in spiritual world like a bull elephant completely at ease in a lotus forest it playfully frequents. They were capable of answering all questions put forth to them without any hesitation. Like a box of gems they were rich with divine gems including right knowledge, perception/faith and conduct. They were like a kutrikapan (a divine store where all coveted things are available).
They were capable of defeating their adversaries in debate. They were masters of the twelve Angas including Acharanga and Sutrakritanga. They had all the knowledge of the complete Ganipitak (the corpus of basic Jain canon). They knew all the combinations of all the consonants and vowels as well as all languages. Though not yet Jina themselves, they were almost like omniscients. Like omniscients they propagated the true fundamentals and moved about enkindling (bhaavit) their souls
with ascetic-discipline and austerities. * गुण-सम्पन्न अणगारों की बाईस उपमाएँ
