जेणेव हि संजाया जे खलु णट्ठा भवीय पज्जाया । ते होंति असब्भूदा पज्जाया णाणपच्चक्खा ॥1-38॥
ये नैव हि संजाता ये खलु नष्टा भूत्वा पर्यायाः । ते भवन्ति असद्भूताः पर्यायाः ज्ञानप्रत्यक्षाः ||1-38॥
सामान्यार्थ - [हि ] निश्चय करके [ ये पर्यायाः ] जो पर्याय [ नैव संजाताः ] उत्पन्न ही नहीं हुए हैं तथा [ ये ] जो [ खलु ] निश्चय से [ भूत्वा ] उत्पन्न होकर [ नष्टाः ] नष्ट हो गये हैं [ते] वे सब अतीत, अनागत [ पर्यायाः ] पर्याय [ असद्भूताः ] वर्तमानकाल के गोचर नहीं [ भवन्ति ] होते हैं, तो भी [ ज्ञानप्रत्यक्षाः ] केवलज्ञान में प्रत्यक्ष हैं।
Certainly, omniscience (kevalajñāna) sees directly those notpresent modes (paryāya), which are yet to originate, and which had originated in the past but destroyed, i.e., all modes of the future and the past, not existing in the present, of a substance (dravya).
48
Explanatory Note: The not-present modes of a substance are future modes that are yet to originate and past modes that exist no more. However, such modes are present in the knowledge of the Omniscient. As the figures of the past and the future Tīrthańkara inscribed in the stela remain present, the past and the future modes of a substance remain present in the knowledge of the Omniscient.
