The Sacred Books of the Jainas 28. When it ( Dharmi ) is established by Vikalpa, the Sadhya consists of existence and non-existence...
29. The omniscient exists. Horns of the ass do not exist.
Commentary
When we see smoke and infer fire, the object in which the fire is (e. g. the mountain ) is known by Pratyaksa Pramana. But in the case of our belief in the existence and non-existence viz. "the omniscient exists” or "Horns of the ass do not exist” the Sādhya consisting of existence or non-existence is preceded by our such' belief. So these are cases of Vikalpa-siddhi of the Dharmit.
