ब्राह्मणी मेरी माता है।" "गोयमा ! देवाणंदा माहणी मम अम्मगा।” (क) भगवती शतक ५, उ. १ ३३, पृ. २५९; (ख) समवायांग ८३, पत्र ८३/२; (ग) स्थानांग, स्था. ५, पत्र ३०७; (घ) आवश्यक नियुक्ति, पृ. ८०-८३।।
पिछले सूत्र में बताया है, भगवान महावीर देवलोक से च्यवन होने से पहले और च्यवन होने के बाद के समय को जानते थे, परन्तु च्यवन के समय को नहीं जानते थे, क्योंकि वह काल अत्यन्त सूक्ष्म होता है। इस सूत्र में बताया है साहरण होने से पहले, साहरण होते समय और साहरण होने के बाद भी तीनों क्रियाएँ वे जान रहे थे। इस सम्बन्ध में टीकाकारों का कथन है, च्यवन स्वतः होता है, वह एक समय में ही हो जाता है, अतः अवधिज्ञानी उस समय को नहीं जान सकते। किन्तु साहरण परकृत क्रिया है, उसमें असंख्यात समय लगते हैं। अतः अवधिज्ञानी उस काल को जान सकते हैं। ___Elaboration-The incident of embryo transplant : an explanationWith the view that there is no precedence that the embryo of a Tirthankar is transplanted, the Digambar tradition does not accept this incident. However the Shvetambar tradition accepts it as a miraculous incident. Besides Acharanga Sutra, Sthananga, Samvayanga, Avashyak Niryukti, Kalpasutra etc. also clearly mention that after 82 days the embryo of Bhagavan Mahavir was transplanted from one womb to another. In Bhagavati Sutra Bhagavan Mahavir explicitly told Ganadhar Gautam Swami—“Gautam ! Devananda Brahmini is my mother.” (a) Bhagavati 5133, p. 259; (b) Samvayanga 83, leaf 83/2; (c) Sthananga 5, leaf 307; (d) Avashyak Niryukti, p. 80-83.
In the preceding aphorism it is said that Bhagavan Mahavir was aware of the moment immediately preceding and after his descent but was not aware of the moment of descent because that time is extremely small. This aphorism informs that he was aware of all the three phase of the act-to be shifted, being shifted and shifted. In this regard the commentators say that descent is automatic and happens in just one samaya (the smallest indivisible unit of time); therefore even avadhijnanis (one who possesses extra-sensory perception of the physical dimension) are not aware of it. But shifting is done by others and it takes infinite samayas; therefore avadhi-jnanis can be aware of it.
