Palap 67
It is said that both the words "Prāṇa" and "Jīva" are indicative of the same meaning, Ātmā (soul).
The intention of the knower is called Naya. Or, the alternative of Śruta-jñāna is called Naya. Or, the knowledge that takes hold of one aspect, i.e., a part of an object, in a correct manner through Pramaṇa (correct knowledge) is called Naya. Or, that which makes an object attain a single nature by removing it from various natures, is Naya. Or, it can be said that Naya is that which takes hold of a part of an object. Or, it can also be said that the examination of one aspect of an object is the characteristic of Naya. 5
This Naya is in the form of an element of Pramāga. It has two main divisions: 1. Dravyāthika 2. Paryāyāthika. Or, it can also be said that these are the two main divisions of Nayas: 1. Niścaya 2. Vyavahāra. These two main Nayas have further divisions, which are countless or even infinite.
Pramaṇa is the receiver of all objects. The knowledge by which the nature of an object is known, is determined, is Pramaṇa.
In essence, Aniyan Pramaṇa is that which takes as its object an object with many aspects (a complete object), and Niyan Naya is that which takes as its object an object with one aspect.
The way in which a word is derived, in the sense of the meaning of that word, through a Triya, Pratyaya, etc., is called Nirukti. For example, "He who lives, will live, and in the past, there is 'Jī' and 'Va', he is called Jīva."
The special means of knowing Jīva, etc., is called Anuyoga. They are (6 divisions): Nirdeśa, Svāmitva, Sādhana, Adhikāraṇa, Sthiti, and Vidhāna.
Thus, one who knows the 20 Prarūpaṇas mentioned earlier through these appropriate Nikṣepa, Ekārtha, Naya, Pramāga, Nirukti, and Anuyoga, knows the nature of the Ātmā.
Thus, the twenty-second chapter, called Palāpa Prarūpaṇā, in the Moṃmaṭmār Jīvāḍ is complete.
