Prabhacandra in his Prameyakamalamartanda (Nir. edn., p. 156), too, has mentioned eight faults; but instead of counting apratipatti separately he has noted ubhaya.
NOTES
259
Tarka pañcanana Abhayadeva Suri in his com. (p. 452) on Sammaïpayarana has mentioned seven, and thus his view agrees in number with Vadin Deva Suri's quotation noted on p. 258; but it differs in this sense that he mentions abhava instead of vyatikara.
In TRD (p. 93b) the following nine faults are noted and refuted:1-विरोध, संशय, अनवस्था, वैयधिकरण्य, सक्कर, व्यतिकर, व्यवहारलोप, प्रमाणबाध' & असम्भव *.
Virodha is of three kinds: (i) परस्परपरिहारस्थिति, (ii) वध्यघातक and (iii) are. Suppose there is a mango-fruit which is green in colour and sour in taste. When it is so, it is not yellow in colour and sweet in taste. This is possible only when the first state gets removed. Thus both of these states are mutually exclusive of one another and not co-existent.
A serpent and a mongoose are not found together; for, the former is vadhya (prey) and the latter a ghataka (destroyer). Further, the former is weaker as compared with the latter. So, if these two were to co-exist, it will be a second type of contradiction.
There is a vadhya-ghātaka-nyāya i. e. a maxim of the destroyer and its prey. It is implied in Taittiriyavārtika (2-1-66) and Vais esika-bhāṣya (pp. 112-113).
Cold and heat do not exist together; for, they are opposed to each other. If they were to do so, they will be looked upon as an example of the third type of contradiction.
None of these three types of contradiction exists here; for, it is not form one and the same stand-point that being' and 'non-being' are admitted in the case of reality. This topic is treated in TRD (p. 94a). Further, there it is said:
“किञ्चायं विरोधः किं स्वरूपमात्रसद्भावकृतः १ उतैककालासम्भवेन २ आहोस्विदेकद्रव्यायोगेन ३ किमेककालैकद्रव्याभावतः ४ उतैककालैकद्रव्यैकप्रदेशासम्भवात् ५११
तत्राद्यो न युक्तः, यतो नहि शीतस्पर्शोऽनपेक्षितान्यनिमित्तः स्वात्मसद्भाव एवोष्णस्पर्शेन सह विरुध्यते, वेतरेण, अन्यथा त्रैलोक्येऽप्यभावः स्वादनयोरिति ।
1 For the exposition of this topic in Guj, see pp. 168-171 of Jaina darsana (a translation of Saddarśanasamuccaya and TRD) by Pandit Bechardas and Tattväkhyāna (pt. II, pp. 146-161) by the late Upadhyaya Mangalavijaya.
2 Violation or cangellation of convention.
3 Opposition to valid proof.
4 Impossibility.
5 As other examples may be mentioned a cow and a tiger, a mouse and a cat and the like which have innate antipathy.
6 Cold and heat are not contradictories in modern sense; for, there is a possibility of a substance being neither hot nor cold.
