( 10 ) सिय साखया सिय असासमा --- --Jivājivābhigama (s.125, p. 1808 ) In Anuogaddara (s. 142) we come across siya' many a time e, g. in “तत्थ णं जे ते बद्धेलिया ते गं सिअ अस्थि सिअ नस्थि" (p. 1988 ) " तत्थ गं जे ते बद्धेल्लया ते णं सिम संखिजा सिभ असंखिजा (p. 205 b ) ete.
Anekantavada is resorted to in giving answers to the following four questions in Vidha° ( II, 1; s. 90 ) ; for, here the four aspects (substance etc.) are taken into account while answering them :--
(1 ) किं सअंते लोए अनंते लोए, (2) सअंते जीवे अनंते जीवे (3) सअंता सिद्धी अता सिद्धी and ( 4 ) सअंते सिद्धे अगते सिद्धे.
A question regarding the eternity or non-eternity of the world and the same question with respect to the soul are asked in Vidha° {IX, 33 ; s. 387 ), and they are answered according to anekāntavāda. Same is the case with the questions as to what is desirable out of sleep and wakefulness, strength and weakness, and alertness and idleness, Vide Vidha° (XII, 2; s. 443 ). In Viāha ( XIII, 7 ; s. 495 ) answers to questions regarding the identity of the body with the soul, the colour of the body etc. are based upon anekāntavāda.
The following passage occurring in Nāyādhammakahā (I, V; s. 55 ) furnishes us with splendid illustrations of amekāntavāda:
"एगे भवं, दुवे भवं, अणेगे भवं, अक्खए भवं, अव्वए भवं, अवट्टिए भवं, अणेगभूयभावे भाविए विभवं ? । एगे वि अहं, दुवे वि अहं जाव अणेगभूयभावभविए वि अहं । से केणद्वेणं भन्ते ! एगे कि अहं जाव सुया ! दव्वद्वाए एगे अहं, नागदंसणट्टयाए दुवे वि अहं, पएसटुयाए अक्खए वि अहं, अव्वए वि अहं, अवडिए वि अहं, उवओगट्टयाए अणेगभूयभावभविए वि अहं ।" "
This passage is preceeded by the question as to whether sarisavayas, kulatthas and māsas are eatable or not and the
1 Yasovijaya Gapi in his Adhyātmasāra has embodied this idea as under:--
"यथाsss सोमिलप्रश्न जिनः स्याद्वाद सिद्धये । द्रव्यार्थादहमेकोऽस्मि दृग्ज्ञानार्थादुभावपि ॥ अक्षयश्चान्यवयश्चास्मि प्रदेशार्थविचारतः । अनेक भूतभावात्मा पर्यायार्थपरिग्रहात् ॥"
