[P. 218, 1. 11 has again six sub-varieties. For their names see p. 225, 11, 19-22, and for their explanation see JRL (Vol. II, Ch. XX).
P. 218, 1. 12. Samvega' means earnest desire for salvation and 's'ama' refraining even from thinking of doing harm even to an offender. These are two characterities of samyaktva out of five. See JRL (Ch. XXI). P. 218, 1. 26. Audayika' bhava may be rendered as operative thoughtactivity caused by the operation of karmans. For details see JRL (Vol. I, p. 100).
NOTES
P. 219, 1, 13. Karma-nirjaranatah' means through the gradual wearing out of karmans. For details about nirjara' see JRL (Vol. I, p. 67). P. 219, 1. 23. Agama' means the Jaina canon.
P. 220, 1. 3. 'Parama' goes with both jñana and dars'ana of which the former means differentiated knowledge and the latter undifferentiated one; for in the former the details are present whereas in the latter they are absent. Every object has a particular aspect and a general one as well. Of these two aspects the general is subordinated to the particular in jñana while reverse is the case with dars'ana. This is what is said in the following lines in SM (com. on v. 1):
“सामान्यप्रधानमुपसर्जनीकृत विशेषमर्थग्रहणं दर्शनमुच्यते तथा प्रधानविशेषमुपसर्जनीकृतसामान्यं
न्वानम्”
Parama-jñāna means highest type of differentiated knowledge i. e. omniscience (kevala-jñāna). Similar is the case with parama-dars'ana which is usually known as kevala-dars'ana.
P. 220, 1. 5. Arta-dhyana is one of the four types of meditation, the other three being raudra-dhyana, dharma-dhyāna and s'ukla-dhyana1. It is the worst type of meditation. For details see JRL (Vol. II, pp. 279-280). P. 220, I. 7 Langhana' (Guj. j) means abstaining from taking food. This helps in averting a disease. Cf. " qera da:".
P. 220, 1. 16. Joga' (Sk. yoga) means activity. It is of three types: (i) physical, (ii) vocal and (iii) mental.
P. 221, 1. 4. Here a Tirthankara is compared with a vaidya (physician). Lord Buddha is similarly characterized as 'bhisaj' in the Bauddha works. e. g. Theragatha and Buddhacarita (XIII, 61). In Lalitavistara(p. 448 of Mitra's edn.) he is styled as 'vaidyaraja'3,
P. 221, 1. 9. Ratna-vanij. For exposition of this illustration in Guj. see Arhata darsana dipika (pp. 1113, 1114, fn.). It is explained in Samakṛta by Jines'vara Suri in his com. (pp. 48b-49a) on Astaka (XI).
1 For its explanation see p. 337.
2 Here he is also called 'Sabbhalokatikicchaka' i. e. 'healer of the entire universe'.
3 Vägbhata salutes Buddha as the primeval doctor in the opening stanza of his Astanga-hṛdaya: "q: qdura antseg atû”.
