194. Sriguptena Saḍulūkaḥ ṣaḍmāsān vikriṣya vāde jitaḥ Udaharāṇānām kutrikāpaņe catuścatvārimśatāśatena pricchānam. (2489)]
Trans. 191-192-193-194. On the next day, the preceptor said "It is known to all that everything that exists on the earth is included in the Universal Shop (Kutrikāpaņa)". Hence, if the deity (in charge) of the Universal shop supplies no-jîva (then), it is not (correct to assert that) no-jîva does not exist. And if he says that it is not (available), then (it should accepted that) no-jiva does not exist. What is the use of logical arguments? So, demand all things at (various) prices. Why waste time? When it was agreed upon by the Royal Assembly as well as the opposite party (with the words) "Let it be so." Saḍulūka was defeated by Srigupta with the questions of one hundred and fortyfour illustrations (set) at the Universal Shop after having passed six months in discussion. (2486 - 2489)
टीका - १९१-१९२-१९३ - १९४ व्याख्या - द्वितीय दिने ब्रवीति गुरुः श्रीगुप्तसूरिः- नरेन्द्र ! पृथिवीपते !-इह मेदिन्यां पृथिव्यां यत् किमपि सद्भूतं विद्यमानं वस्तु तत् सर्वमपि कुत्रिकापणेऽस्तीति सर्वजनस्य भवतां च प्रतीतमेवेदम् । तत्र कूनां स्वर्ग - पाताल - मर्त्यभूमीनां त्रिकं कुत्रिकं तात्स्थ्यात् तद्वयपदेश इति कृत्वा तत्स्थलोका अपि कुत्रिकमुच्यते, कुत्रिकमापणयति व्यवहरति यत्र esसौ कुत्रिकापणः । अथवा, धातु - जीव-मूल- लक्षणेभ्यस्त्रिभ्यो जातं त्रिजं सर्वमपि वस्त्वित्यर्थः, कौ पृथिव्यां त्रिजमापणयति व्यवहरति यत्र हट्टे स कृत्रि
9. Kutrikāpaṇa could be interpreted in this way :-Ku= Prithivi-Earth, world. Trika=Three, Trio-Kutrika-The three worlds (viz. Svarga, Mritya and Pātāla) Āpaṇa-Shop. Kutrikapaṇa could thus conveniently be called Universal Shop where from all objects of the three words could be had.
