uddhão vă disão ágao ahamamsi, ahe vă disão ágao ahamamsi, annayario vā disão ágao ahamamsi, anudisão vá agao ahamamsi.
By ones own power of recollection, from exposition advanced by an authority having the power of direct knowledge and on hearing from some one (who had learnt about it from one who commanded direct knowledge), some (people) acquire knowledge such as I have transmigrated (to this world) from the eastern direction, or from the southern direction, or from the western direction, or from the northern direction, or from the direction above, or from the direction below, or from any other direction, or from any intermediate direction. 1.4 cvamegeism jam nãtam bhavai-atthi me āyā ovavăie. jo imão disão
anudisão vă anusamcarai. savvão disão savvão anudisão jo ăgao anusamcarai soham.
In the same way some may know-my soul, being subject to birth, transmigrates in these cardinal direction or intermediate directions, that (soul) is I myself.
Commentators Auspicious Invocation Visuddham visadātmãnam Paramātmānamātmanā. Sannidhim sahajam nitvā,
Tanomyācāramadbhutam. With inborn devotion, I surrender myself to the pure, manifest, great soul and propose elaborately to explain the excellent Ayāro (Spiritual discipline).
Bhāṣyam Sūtras 1-4
One of the chief disciples of Lord Mahāvīra, Suddharmā, spoke thus to Jambū: 0, long-lived! I have directly heard this from Lord Mahāvīra, whatever lam saying is not the imagination of my own mind, but has been told by Lord Mahāvīra himself.
There is birth. There is death. There cannot be any doubt about them in the mind of anybody. These obviously happen to everybody. The person who takes birth had of necessity experienced death in the past, and he will be reborn again. This is, of course, not directly perceived by the common man. There is cause for doubt on objects not perceived directly. Owing to such doubt, the believers in direct perception alone as the valid source of knowledge consider birth and death as without any precedence. In other words, according to them, there was no birth before, and in the absence of birth, the pre-incidence of death is utterly impossible.
