Samayasāra
Chapter - 1 impossible to communicate with naive or unenlightened people-at-large, unless the technique of communication is suitably adapted and made understandable by them. In real life, one had to communicate with strange people, it is necessary to somehow adapt the medium of communication and make it intelligible to them. Expressing one's views in a method which is beyond the comprehension of the audience serves no useful purpose.
While it is admitted that vyavahāra by itself, leaves all ultimate questions on one side and deals only with the empirical ones, it is indispensable in the treatise in order to make it comprehensible to the primitive and naive aspirants.
Śruta Kevalī – Omniscient जो हि सुदेणहिगच्छदि अप्पाणमिणं तु केवलं सुद्धं ।
तं सदकेवलिमिसिणो भणंति लोयप्पदीवयरा॥९॥ jo hi sudenuhigacchadi uppānamiņam tu kevalam suddham. tam sudakevalimisiņo bhaņamti loyappadīvayarā..9
जो सुदणाणं सव्वं जाणदि सुदकेवलिं तमाहु जिणा।
सुदणाणमाद सव्वं जम्हा सुदकेवली तम्हा॥१०॥ jo sudaņānam savvam jānodī sudakevalim tamāhu jiņā.
sudaņāņamāda savvam jamhā sudakevali tamhā.. 10
(Jo hi) only that soul who (suden tu) through his own faculty of śruta-bhāvaśruta (scriptural/verbal knowledge) (ahigacchadi) apprehends by direct experience (inam kevalam suddhamuppāņam) this singular pure and perfect self (bhanamti) is entitled to be called (suda-kevalī) ultimate or real śruta-kevalī i.e. one who is deemed to be omniscient by virtue of his perfect scriptural knowledge (isino loyappadīvuyarā) by seers who are illuminators of the entire loka (cosmos).
(Jo) That soul who (jāņudi) has learnt (savvam sudaņānain) scriptural knowledge in its entirety (tamāhu) is called (vyavahāra (suda-kevalī) empirically scriptural omniscient by (jiņā jinudevā (tirthankaras)-founder-omniscents), (jamhā) because (savvam sudnānum) scriptural knowledge in its entirejy-drayya śrutajñāna is sure precursor of (āda) SELF; (tamhā) and therefore, (sudkevulī) he is qualified to be designated scriptural omniscient.
