Division of Knowledge
207
The four buddhis of Autpattikl etc. are purely mental. Vyañjanāvagraha is not possible in their case. Consequently, the twofold division based on Vyañjanāvagraha and Arthāvagraha is possible with sense-cognitions only. So, the commentator has attempted for a regrouping; but, he also goes astray. In the Nandi, Avagraha etc. are confined to Sruta-Niḥssta only. They are not connected with Aśruta-Niḥssta, which is divided into four Buddhis.
(iii) Thirdly, it is doubtful whether the division of Sruta Nihssta and Aśruta-Nihsrta is as old as the Angas. It is found in the Nandi only. The Digambara literature does not provide it. In Svetāmbaras also it is not found in the Niryuktis. Even Umāsvāti has left it altogether. In the Nandi also Mati is mentioned as having twenty eight varieties and the four buddhis are not included in them. If they are included the number would come to thirty two. Division of Knowledge : Third Stage
This stage is represented by the Anuyogadvāra. It refers to five types in the beginning by way of Mangala, but later on adopts the logical division and tries to adjust the Āgamic division into it. He divides as follows? :
