"Paramanapadiya" etc. in 485 verses, the subject is directed by the direction of the subject, because the inner subject cannot be described in any other way. That is, the subject of Avadhijnana is the material of the form, therefore, there is no other way to tell the subject of Avadhidarshan, the past inner material, so the material of the form is taken as the support and directed.
The self-awareness that gives rise to Chakshusha knowledge is Chakshudarshan. The self-awareness that is the cause of the knowledge arising from the senses of hearing, breath, tongue, touch and mind is called Prachakshudarshan. The self-awareness that is the cause of Avadhijnana, which takes the Pudgala dravya from the atom to the Maha-skandha as its subject, is called Avadhidarshan.
The nature of Kevaladarshan is multi-faceted, multi-faceted, bright, in the limited field. People are blind to the world and the world, but the light of Kevaladarshan removes the darkness. ||486||
Special meaning - Kevaladarshan is the inner light and Kovaljnana is the light that takes external objects as its subject.
Doubt - Some Acharyas say that since Kevaljnana is the illuminator of both self and other, it is not Kevaladarshan. There is also a verse on this subject
Manapamjavanaanato Ganassa Ya Dasanasya Ya Viseso.
Kevaliyan Nana Pun Nana Ti Ya Daruna Ti Ya Samana ||143|| - There is a difference between knowledge up to mind and knowledge up to vision. But Kevaljnana is equal to both knowledge and vision.
Solution - It is not right for those Acharyas to say so, because Kevaljnana itself is a synonym, so it cannot have another synonym. That is, if Kevaljnana is considered to be self-other-illuminator, then in one time, it will have to be considered as two synonyms, self-illuminator and other-illuminator. But Kevaljnana itself is one synonym, the form of other-illuminator. Therefore, it cannot have another synonym, the form of self-illuminator. It is also not right to say that there is a synonym of a synonym. Because, if this is assumed, then there will be a second synonym of the first synonym, a third synonym of that, and so on, and thus a lineage of synonyms will be obtained, therefore
