Fifth Special Term (Synonym) 1 [467 Q.] Bhagavan! How many synonyms are said for the Kevala Jnani humans? [467 A.] Gautama! (Their) infinite synonyms are said. [Q.] Bhagavan! Why is it said that 'infinite synonyms are said for the Kevala Jnani humans?' [A.] Gautama! One Kevala Jnani human is equal to another Kevala Jnani human in terms of substance, equal in terms of regions, is Chatur-Sthanapatit in terms of understanding, is Tri-Sthanapatit in terms of position, and is Shat-Sthanapatit in terms of synonyms of color, smell, taste and touch, and is equal in terms of synonyms of Kevala Jnana and synonyms of Kevala Darshan. 468. And in the same way as it is said about the synonyms of Kevala Jnani humans, it should be said about the synonyms of Kevala Darshani humans. The various aspects of the synonyms of the Vivechan humans are presented in the ten sutras (Su. 489 to 498) from the perspective of the inferior-superior-middle understanding, position, color etc. and the synonyms of the human with knowledge etc. The human with inferior understanding is Tri-Sthanapatit in terms of position, the human with inferior understanding is by rule of the number of years of life, in this regard he is Tri-Sthanapatit inferior-superior, that is, he is inferior-superior by the part of the innumerable-number and the number of times. The human with inferior understanding has three types of knowledge and two types of ignorance - the birth of a Tirthankara or an Anuttaraupapatik Deva with the non-repetitive Avadhi Jnana in the inferior understanding, then Avadhi Jnana is found even in the inferior understanding. Therefore, three types of knowledge are mentioned here, but the birth of a being who has come out of hell does not occur in the inferior understanding, because his nature is such. Therefore, Vibhang Jnana is not found in the inferior understanding; for this reason, only two types of ignorance are presented here (in the original text). The position of the human with superior understanding is inferior-superior-equal - the understanding of the humans with superior understanding is of three Gavyutis (kos), and their position is - the inferior Palyopama less than the innumerable part of three Palyopama and the superior is the full three Palyopama. The innumerable part of three Palyopama is the innumerable part of three Palyopama. Therefore, the human with the innumerable part of Palyopama less than three Palyopama is innumerable part less than the human with the position of three Palyopama, and the human with the full three Palyopama is innumerable part more in position than him. No other type of inferiority or superiority is possible in these. Perhaps there is also equality of position between any two such humans. The human with superior understanding has two types of knowledge and two types of prajna - the human with superior understanding has Mati and Shruta, these two types of knowledge or Matyajnan and Shrutajnan, these two types of ignorance and two types of Darshan. The reason for this is that the human with superior understanding
