Kamgranth Part Four
The desire for food is a specific result (adhyavasaya) of the soul arising from the emergence of shudhavedaniya. As: -
_"Maharasanya aharabhilashah kshudaniyaoshayaprabhava khalvaatmaparinam iti."_
-Aavashyak, Harimatti Vritti p. 580. In this adhyavasaya, which is in the form of desire, there is an alternative of words and meaning like "It would be good if I get such and such thing". The adhyavasaya which is with alternative is called shrutajnana. As:
_"Inshiamanonimittam jam vishnan suyanusarenam. Nipayatyuttisamatham, tam mayasuyamai sesam. ||1001||"_
Visheshaavashyak. That is, the knowledge arising from the senses and mind, which is capable of stating the definite meaning, is 'bhavasch ta' and the knowledge different from it is to be understood as 'matijnana'. If the use of senses is not considered, then how can the desire for food, which is scriptural, occur in them? Therefore, even in the absence of the power to speak and hear, it is necessary to believe in the very subtle use of shruta in them.
The one who has bhapa and shravanalabdhi has bhavashrut, the other does not. The meaning of this scriptural statement is that the one who has the power mentioned above has clear bhavashrut and the others have unclear.
