TIEORY OF RELATIVITY
275
(741-742) Dravya (= potency) is of two types-viz. agamato (= that in respect of an authentic text) and no-āgamato (=that not in respect of an authentic text). Thus the person who knows an authentic text pertaining to an Arhat and yet is not making use of this knowledge of his is agamato-dravya Arhat. Similarly, no-āgamato dravya is of three types-viz. the knower's body, the would be knower, one acting in a manner appropriate to the thing concerned And the knower's body is of three types—viz. one fallen, one given up, one made to fall.
(743-744) Like dravya bhāva (= reality) too is of two types—viz. āgamato (= that in respect of an authentic text) and no-āgamato (= that not in respect of an authentic text). Thus the person who knows an authentic text pertaining to an Arhat and is also making use of this knowledge is āgamato-bhäva Arhat. On the other hand, the person who has developed the virtuous qualities appropriate to an Arhat or one who while equipped with those qualities, undertakes meditation and so is considered to have become a Kevalajñānin (= Arhat) is no-āgamatobhāva Arhat.
43. CONCLUSION
(745) Thus preached the Vaisālika Bhagavān Mahāvīra, of the Jñāt clan, endowed with supreme knowledge and supreme Vision this is what I speak about
(746) One might not have heard about that or one might not have acted in accordance with that, but certainly virtues like equanimity etc. have been preached by the omniscient sage Jñātaputra (= Mahāvira).
