________________ Hemaraj Pande's Caurasi Bol 385 45. The mother of a Tirthankara witnesses only fourteen dreams--not sixteen as believed by the Digambaras. (137) 46. The thirty-four atisayas of a Tirthankara are correct as they are listed by the Svetambaras. (The Digambaras are wrong in including "absence of hunger" as an atisaya.) (138) 47. There is nothing wrong with taking water stored in a leather bag. (139) 48. It is not improper for a monk to receive food prepared from ghee that has been stored in a leather bag. (139) 49. Marudevi and Nabhi were twin brother and sister from whom Jina Rsabha was born. There is nothing improper in this considering the time when it took place. (140-141) 50. It is proper for a sadhu to keep patras for collecting food and water, clothes, and other requisites (upakaranas). (142-155) 51. The Jaina Agamas are indeed still in existence (a fact disputed by the Digambaras). (156-157) Concluding verses : Hemaraj Pande has composed Eighty-four Points (Caurasi Bol). Accordingly, we also have refuted them in this spoken language (bhasa). There are in the words of Digambaras a hundred more faults, but why waste time on them ? (158-159) Alearned person has faith in that which is truthful, while a fool delights in falsehood. But if he were to trust only the true words and keep the company of saints, he would surely enjoy unbroken happiness. Thus says the Vacaka (i.e., Upadhyaya) Jasa (i.e., Yasovijaya). (160-161) I give below a copy of the manuscript of Caurasi Bol (by Hemaraja Pande) described above without any emendations as only a single manuscript was available for this edition.
