Gommatasar Karmakanda-756
The Pandavas were known for their generosity. In this way, people consider the popular opinion as the ultimate truth.
Now, Nemichandracharya explains the method to resolve the dispute of all the above opinions. Javadya Vaynavha, Tavdiya Chev Hoti Nayvada. Javadya Nayvada, Tavdiya Chev Honti Parasamaya ||894|| Meaning - As many are the paths of speech, so many are the Nayvadas, and as many are the Nayvadas, so many are the Parasamayas.
Special Meaning - Whatever words are spoken, they are spoken with respect to some expectation. Therefore, wherever there is an expectation, that is the Nay. But, whoever accepts it without any other expectation, becomes a Mithyamati. Therefore, as many are the types of speech, so many are the Nayas, and as many are the Nayas, so many are the Mithyamatis.
"Ete Sarve'pi Nayah Ekantavधारणगर्भा Mithyadṛṣṭayaḥ; Etaire Adhyavasitavastvabhāvāṭ. (J.D.Pu.1 P. 245). Micchaditthi Savve Vi Naya Sapkkha Padibbaddha| Meaning - All these Nayas are false views, which are based on the absolute determination of the object, because there is no object determined by them. If all these Nayas determine the object independently of each other, then they are false, because the object is not like that, as it is determined by these Nayas without the expectation of other Nayas. Therefore, in the first part of the J.G. verse 102, it is said - "Micchaditthi Sabche Vi Naya Sapkkha Padibbaddha" - all these Nayas are false, which are bound by their own side. Further, the reason is given for how the Mithyamati words of the Parasamaya are false.
Parasamayanam Vaynam, Miccham Khalu Hodi Savvaha Vayna.
Jenaanam Pun Vaynam, Samm Khu Kahanchivayanado ||895||2 Meaning - The words of the Parasamaya are false by nature, because they are spoken in the form of 'Sarvtha'. And the words of the Jainmata are true, because they are spoken in the form of 'Kahanchit'.
Special Meaning - The Jainmata is in the form of Syadvada. It speaks about the object, which is infinite in its qualities, in the form of 'Kahanchit' words. Therefore, it is true, because only one quality of the object is spoken by one word. If someone says 'Sarvtha' that this is the nature of the object, then it will be called false, because it will lead to the absence of other qualities. Other than the Jainmata, people speak about the nature of the object in the form of 'Sarvtha' words, taking one quality of the object, and saying that this is it. They are false due to the above reason. For example, the object is eternal with respect to the substance, and impermanent with respect to the modification. Therefore, the Jainmata is true. 1.
