744/Go. Ma. Jivakanda
Gatha 687-685
It is only the Jina and the Siddha who have Kevala Jnana. ||688||
Special Meaning - The stationary body, i.e., the one-sensed beings, have only one Mithyatva Gunasthan, therefore, the stationary body or the one-sensed beings have the Mithyatva Gunasthan. In this way, there are only two Gunasthanas in Matyajnan and Shrutajnan, Mithyatva and Sasadan. There are also only two Gunasthanas in Vibhang Jnana, Mithyatva and Sasadan. However, Vibhang Jnana does not occur in the non-conscious beings, to make this known, the word "Sanjee" has been used in the Gatha. This negates the Prasanjee and the A-paryapnaka.
Doubt - Even if the Mithyaishti Jiva has both Mati and Shruta Prajnana, because Mithyatva Karma arises there, but Mithyatva does not arise in Sasadan, therefore, both these Jnanas should not be in the form of ignorance?
_ Solution - No, because the opposite of Abhinivesha is called Mithyatva, and it arises from both Mithyatva and Ananta-anubandhi. The Ananta-anubandhi of the one who has Sasadan arises, therefore, both Prajnanas are possible there.
Question - How can the one-sensed beings have Shat Jnana? Because, due to the absence of the Shrotra Indriya, the knowledge of the object of the word, i.e., the Vachya, cannot be known. Therefore, they do not have Shruta Jnana.
Solution - This is not a fault, because it is not a rule that only the knowledge of the object that arises from the word is called Shruta Jnana. But the knowledge of the Lingi that arises from the Linga, which is different from the word, is also called Shruta Jnana.
Doubt - How is such Shruta Jnana possible for the beings without a mind?
Solution - No, because the tendency towards the benefit and the avoidance of harm is seen in the beings with the vegetable body, without a mind, therefore, to consider them as beings without Shruta Jnana, there is a fault of Anekanta from them.
Doubt - Why does Vibhang Jnana not occur in the beings with impaired senses? Solution - No, because the cause of Vibhang Jnana, i.e., Kshayo-pashama, does not occur there. Doubt - Why is that Kshayo-pashama not possible in the beings with impaired senses?
Solution - No, because the Kshayo-pashama of the Avadhi Jnana Avarana is Bhava Pratyay and Guna Pratyay. But these two types of causes are not found in the beings with impaired senses, therefore, Vibhang Jnana is not possible for them.
