**Karmavik**
In Digambara literature, the word "pad" in "padashruta" also has a symbolic meaning, signifying "chigya" (knowledge). The authority of texts like Acharanga is also considered to be based on such "pads." However, a significant difference is observed: while in Swetambara literature, all Acharyas show a distinction in the interpretation of "pad" as evidence, in Digambara literature, the evidence of "pad" is explicitly stated. There, a single "pad" is considered to consist of 1,634 crore, 83 lakh, and 7 thousand aksharas (letters). This, when considering a shloka (verse) to be 32 aksharas, equates to 21.08,84,62 shlokas.
This evidence, along with the "pad" evidence mentioned in some parts of Swetambara literature, seems to indicate a degree of agreement.
**Man:paryayajnan**
Regarding the object (vishaya) of Man:paryayajnan, two different accounts are found. The first states that a Man:paryayajnani, through Man:paryayajnan, knows the objects (chinyaman padarthas) residing in the minds of others. The second account states that Man:paryayajnan does not provide knowledge of the object being contemplated (chintyaman vastu), but rather knowledge of the mental formations (aakritiyaan) that arise during contemplation. Knowledge of the contemplated object is obtained later through inference. The first account is from Digambara literature, while the second is from Swetambara literature.
