Bhagaval 5:4:94-99
What is the other source of valid knowledge?
The other sources of valid knowledge are propounded to be fourfold, viz., direct perception, inference, analogy and scripture; these are to be explained as in the Anuyogadvāra Sūtra, starting from the topic of pramāņa (Source of Valid Knowledge)..... the topic that follows, viz, for the grand-disciples of the ganadharas (chief disciples of the jina) both the sutragama and arthāgama are neither the atmägama, nor anantaragama but only paramparāgama. 5.98 kevali nam bhamte! carimakammam vā, carimaṇijjaram vā jāṇai-pāsai? hamtā jāṇai-päsai.
Does the omniscient, O Lord! know and see the carama karma (last karmika resultant) and the carama nirjarā (last falling away of karmika particles) of the souls?
Yes, he knows and sees.
~:239:~
5.99 jahā ņam bhamte! kevali carimakammam vä, carimaṇijjaram vā jāṇai-pāsai, tahā nam chaumatthe vi carimakammam vā, carimaṇijjaram vā jāṇai-pāsai? goyama! no inatthe samatthe. soccā jāṇai-pāsai, pamāṇato vā. jahā ņam amtakareṇam ālāvago tahā carimakammeņa vi aparisesio neyavvo.
Does the person, with the veil of ignorance, O Lord! know and see the last karmic resultant and the last falling away of the karmic particles of the souls like the omniscient one?
Gautama! This is not possible. He can only know and see by hearing (from authentic persons) or from other sources of valid knowledge. The description of the last karmika resultant is to be known in toto just as in the dialogue. about a person putting an end to the worldly life.
Bhasya
1. Sutras 94-99
In the present dialogue, a line of distinction between a person, with the veil of ignorance, and the omniscient has been drawn.' The person, with the veil of ignorance, does not know and see the person in his last corporeal incarnation, or the last karmika resultant, or the last falling away of karmika particles. Only the omniscient knows and sees them.
Unlike the omniscient, the person, with the veil of ignorance, knows and sees indirectly by two means (1) hearing (from the omniscient or his immediate disciple who has heard from the omniscient), or (2) by any other source of valid knowledge. In the Jain scriptures, these sources of valid knowledge are classified in two ways-In Anuyogaddārāim, the sources of valid knowledge are four-direct perception, inference, analogy and scriptures. This classification is approved in the school of Nyaya philosophy. The author of the Anuogaddäräim, Aryarakṣita, was initially a scholar of Nyaya philosophy. When he became a Jain monk in his later life, he
