________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha एक आत्मा अनेक ज्ञानात्मक - Many kinds of knowledge in a single soul (atma) - ण वियप्पदि णाणादो णाणी णाणाणि होति णेगाणि / तम्हा दु विस्सरूवं भणियं दवियत्ति णाणीहि // 43 // न विकल्प्यते ज्ञानात् ज्ञानी ज्ञानानि भवन्त्यनेकानि / तस्मात्तु विश्वरूपं भणितं द्रव्यमिति ज्ञानिभिः // 43 // अन्वयार्थ - [ज्ञानात् ] ज्ञान से [ ज्ञानी न विकल्पयते ] ज्ञानी का (आत्मा का) भेद नहीं किया जाता है, [ज्ञानानि अनेकानि भवन्ति ] तथापि ज्ञान अनेक हैं। [तस्मात् तु] इसीलिये तो [ज्ञानिभिः ] ज्ञानियों ने [द्रव्यं ] द्रव्य को [ विश्वरूपम् इति भणितम् ] विश्वरूप (अनेकरूप) कहा है। The knowledge (jnana) is no different from the possessorof-knowledge (jnani).
