## 128 Swami Samantabhadra. The above verse, which follows this verse and describes the characteristics of scripture (agama), is useless for several reasons. Firstly, it does not describe the characteristics of scripture in accordance with agama pramana. It does not explain whether the knowledge arising from such scripture is called agama pramana or shabda pramana, but rather it is generally designated as an agama substance, which is described in the 'Ratnakarandaka' as the subject of right faith. Secondly, shastra pramana is not a separate entity from shabda pramana, which needs to be mentioned separately after shabda pramana, but rather it is included within it. The commentator, by imagining two divisions of shabda, 'laukik' and 'shastraja', has indicated that the characteristics of both are included in this eighth verse; *this makes it even clearer that the 'shastraja' division of shabda is not mentioned in the ninth verse. Thirdly, the word 'shastra' or 'agama' has not been used anywhere in the entire text before this, which this ninth verse is understood to be the defining characteristic of, nor is there any indication in the original text of a division called 'shastraja', of which this verse could be the defining characteristic of one element (shastra); fourthly, if it is said "Therefore, having described the characteristics of self-inference, now, to refute the error and misunderstanding of those who hold such views, and because the characteristics of inferred objects are briefly mentioned, the characteristics of shabda are now stated." 1. 'Nyaya Avatara' has described the characteristics of pramana in its first verse as being non-obstructed knowledge that is self-illuminating, therefore, it should be applicable to every division of pramana. * 'Shabda is of two types - laukik and shastraja. This verse describes the common characteristics of both.' For Personal & Private Use Only

________________ १२८ स्वामी समंतभद्र। इस पद्यकी उपस्थितिमें इसके बादका उपर्युक्त पद्य, जिसमें शास्त्र (आगम ) का लक्षण दिया हुआ है, कई कारणोंसे व्यर्थ पड़ता है। प्रथम तो, उसमें शास्त्रका लक्षण आगमप्रमाणरूपसे नहीं दियायह नहीं बतलाया कि ऐसे शास्त्रसे उत्पन्न हुआ ज्ञान आगम प्रमाण अथवा शाब्दप्रमाण कहलाता है बल्कि सामान्यतया आगम पदार्थके रूपमें निर्दिष्ट हुआ है, जिसे 'रत्नकरण्डक' में सम्यग्दशनका विषय बतलाया गया है । दूसरे, शाब्दप्रमाणसे शास्त्रप्रमाण कोई भिन्नवस्तु भी नहीं है, जिसकी शाब्द प्रमाणके बाद पृथक् रूपसे उल्लेख करनेकी जरूरत होती, बल्कि उसीमें अंतर्भूत है। टीकाकारने भी, शाब्दके 'लौकिक' और 'शास्त्रज' ऐसे दो भेदोंकी कल्पना करके, यह सूचित किया है कि इन दोनोंका ही लक्षण इस आठवें पद्यमें आगया है; *इससे ९ वें पद्यमें शाब्दके 'शास्त्रज' भेदका उल्लेख नहीं, यह और भी स्पष्ट हो जाता है । तीसरे, ग्रंथ भरमें इससे पहले, 'शास्त्र' या 'आगम' शब्दका कहीं प्रयोग नहीं हुआ जिसके स्वरूपका प्रतिपादक ही यह ९ वाँ पद्य समझ लिया जाता, और न 'शास्त्रज' नामके भेदका ही मूल ग्रंथमें कोई निर्देश है जिसके एक अवयव (शास्त्र) का लक्षण प्रतिपादक यह पद्य हो सकता; चौथे यदि यह कहा जाय __ " तदेवं स्वार्थानुमानलक्षणं प्रतिपाद्य तद्वतां भ्रान्तताविप्रतिपत्तिं च निरा. कृस्य अधुना प्रतिपादितपदार्थानुमानलक्षण एवाल्पवक्तव्यत्वात् तावच्छाब्दल. क्षणमाह"। १ स्वपराभासी निर्बाध ज्ञानको ही 'न्यायावतार' के प्रथम पद्यमें प्रमाणका लक्षण बतलाया है, इस लिये प्रमाणके प्रत्येक भेदमें उसकी व्याप्ति होना चाहिये। * 'शाब्दं च द्विधा भवति-लौकिक शास्त्रजं चेति। तन्नेद द्वयोरपि साधारणं प्रतिपादितम् । Jain Education International For Personal & Private Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
