The Fifth Special Point (Synonym) [279 462. [1] "O Venerable One! How many synonyms are there for the Jghana-Chakshu-Darshani Naraka?" "Gautama! There are infinite synonyms." "O Venerable One! Why is it said that there are infinite synonyms for the Jghana-Chakshu-Darshani Naraka?" "Gautama! A Jghana-Chakshu-Darshani Naraka is equal to another Jghana-Chakshu-Darshani Naraka in terms of substance, equal in terms of regions, Chaturthana-patita in terms of Avagaha, Chaturthana-patita in terms of position, Shatsthana-patita in terms of the synonyms of color, smell, taste, and touch, and in terms of the three knowledges and the three ignorances. It is equal in terms of the synonyms of Chakshu-darshan, and Shatsthana-patita in terms of the synonyms of A-chakshu-darshan and Avadhi-darshan." [462-1 Pr.] "O Bhagavan! How many synonyms are there for the Jghana-Chakshu-Darshani Naraka?" [462-2 U.] "Gautama! There are infinite synonyms." [Pr.] "O Bhagavan! Why is it said that there are infinite synonyms for the Jghana-Chakshu-Darshani Naraka?" "Gautama! A Jghana-Chakshu-Darshani Naraka is equal to another Jghana-Chakshu-Darshani Naraka in terms of substance, equal in terms of regions, Chaturthana-patita in terms of Avagaha, Chaturthana-patita in terms of position, Shatsthana-patita in terms of the synonyms of color, smell, taste, and touch, and in terms of the three knowledges and the three ignorances. It is equal in terms of the synonyms of Chakshu-darshan, and Shatsthana-patita in terms of the synonyms of A-chakshu-darshan and Avadhi-darshan." [2] "Similarly, the Utkrushta-Chakshu-Darshani Naraka (should be understood in the same way)." [462-2] "Similarly, the Ajghana-Anutkrushta (medium) Chakshu-Darshani Naraka (should be understood in the same way). The only difference is that it is Shatsthana-patita even in its own region." 463. "Similarly, the Chakshu-Darshani Naraka, the Prachakshu-Darshani Naraka, and the Avadhi-Darshani Naraka." [463] "The synonyms of the Chakshu-Darshani Naraka, the Prachakshu-Darshani Naraka, and the Avadhi-Darshani Naraka should be understood in the same way." Discussion: The 9 sutras (from 455 to 463) present the synonyms of the Narakas with different Avagaha, etc., including Jghana, Utkrushta, and Madhyama. The Narakas with Jghana and Utkrushta Avagaha are equal in terms of substance, region, and Avagaha. A Naraka with Jghana and Utkrushta Avagaha is equal to another Naraka in terms of substance, because "every substance has infinite synonyms." According to this principle, even though the Naraka Jiva-dravya is one, it has infinite synonyms.
