There is no realm for a man without a son - he does not attain liberation. A Brahmin is the form of God. Dogs are Yakshas. There is no realm for one who is killed by cows or who kills cows, etc. One should listen to such Lokavada statements that are devoid of justice and logic. Many people say this.
**Verse 7**
**Commentary:** Some opinion holders say that there is certainly a man who knows the immeasurable and the immeasurable, or the transcendental, but he only knows the finite things. He does not know everything. There is no omniscient being.
**Explanation:** There is no measure, either in terms of space or time, for that which is immeasurable. A Tirthankara, as recognized by the Jainas, knows such immeasurable things. This means that he is a knower of the infinite, a seer of the transcendental, but not an omniscient being. Or, if the meaning intended is that he is a knower of the infinite, then he is a seer of the transcendental. And thus it is said:
"Whether he sees everything or not, let him see what is desired. What use is the knowledge of the number of insects to us?"
This is what is said in this world by some who believe in omniscience. This is their assumption. Thus, the wise mind, with its limited knowledge, is limited by space and time, and by the karma it has accumulated. It is thus that the wise man sees excessively. For example, they say that Brahma sleeps for a thousand divine years - years of the gods. In that state, he does not see anything. He wakes up for the same amount of time, and then he sees. Thus, Lokavada is prevalent in many forms.
