[10] The **Jivajivaabhigamsutra** raises the question: If the **Shruta-siddhant** is inherently beautiful, why isn't it given to everyone? The answer is that there is a possibility of harm arising from the inherently unbeautiful nature of unqualified individuals. It is often seen that the sun's rays, which are inherently beautiful, are harmful to owls and other such creatures due to their unsuitability. It is said that one should use something only if it is beneficial for that particular being. For a fish, a hook with bait attached is harmful even though it is food.
**Jinapassattham** - This **Jinamat** is beneficial for qualified and deserving individuals. Here, the word "Jin" is used for those who are inclined towards the path of righteousness and are averse to the path of unrighteousness. Just as a healthy diet is beneficial for a healthy person because it prevents future diseases, similarly, this **Jinamat** is beneficial for those who are inclined towards the path of righteousness and are averse to the path of unrighteousness. By consuming it properly, this **Jinamat** proves to be beneficial and auspicious.
Through proper contemplation of this unique **Jinamat** with their **protpatik** and other intellects, the **sthavir bhagavants** who have faith, understanding, and interest in it have formulated this study called **Jivajivaabhigam**, a meaningful name. Although due to the **kaladosha**, intellect and other qualities are declining, one should still understand that even a little knowledge and practice of **Jinamat** is capable of destroying **bhava**. With this belief, one should have faith in **Jinamat** with a gentle heart.
**Sthavir bhagavants** refer to those **acharyas** whose knowledge and character have matured. Their minds are free from confusion due to **dharmparinnati**, and they have destroyed their **kashayas** through the wealth of **Shruta**. Thus, this sutra discusses the relationship between **guruparvkrama** and its characteristics, as well as its **abhidheya** (purpose).
**Swrupa and Prakar** (Nature and Types) 2. What is **Jivajivaabhigam**? **Jivajivaabhigam** is said to be of two types: 1. **Jivaabhigam** and 2. **Ajivaabhigam**.
