[538] * **The Establishment of the Name "Vedanā"**
[4, 2, 3, 4] _Here, the establishment of the form of "Vedanā" should be made similar to the form of the support, because there is no special feature in it. In accordance with this Nay, while establishing the form of the name, one should say "eight kinds of Vedanā," because, in accordance with the Sangraha Nay, the number "eight" is possible for all the distinctions of the Karmas like Jñānāvaraṇa, etc. The word "Vedanā" used in the Sutra refers to the one "Vedanā" jāti, which is inseparable from all the distinctions of Vedanā, because without them, the Sangraha statement is not possible. The work of the Sangraha Nay is to collect all the distinctions by a common Dharma. The meaning is that, in accordance with the Naigama and Vyavahāra Nay, the natural Vedanā has been described as eight kinds. But this Sangraha Nay accepts one Vedanā jāti of all the eight Karmas, because, in the said Sangraha Nay, the predominance of non-difference is there. This is the reason why, in accordance with this Nay, one Vedanā of all the eight Karmas has been said.
Ujusudas-sa no-ṇāṇāvaraṇīya-vedanā no dassanāvaraṇīya-vedanā no mohaṇīya-vedanā no āuava-vedanā no nāma-vedanā no goda-vedanā no antarāiya-vedanā, veyaṇīyaṁ ceva vedanā ||
In accordance with the Ujusūtra Nay, there is neither Jñānāvaraṇīya Vedanā, nor Darśanāvaraṇīya Vedanā, nor Mohaṇīya Vedanā, nor Āyu Vedanā, nor Nāma Vedanā, nor Gotrā Vedanā, nor Antarāya Vedanā. In accordance with it, only the Vedanīya is Vedanā. || 3 ||
The meaning of Vedanā is pleasure-pain, because, such behaviour is seen in the world. These pleasure-pain do not arise from any other Karma dravyas except the Vedanīya-rupa Pudgala skandha. If it is possible for the said pleasure-pain to arise from any other Karma, then the Vedanīya Karma will have no work at all, therefore, the occasion of the absence of the said Vedanīya Karma will be inevitable, therefore, in the natural state, by negating all the Karmas, the Udayagata Vedanīya dravya has been called "Vedanā."
Sadda-nayassa vedanā ceva vedanā || 4 ||
In accordance with the Śabda Nay, Vedanā is Vedanā. || 4 ||
In accordance with the Śabda Nay, the pleasure-pain arising from the Udaya of the Vedanīya dravya Karma, or the result of the Jīva arising from the Udaya of the eight kinds, is called Vedanā. In accordance with this Nay, the Karma dravya cannot be called Vedanā, because, the subject of the Śabda Nay is not possible to be a dravya.
|| Thus, the establishment of the name "Vedanā" is completed through the Anuyo-gadvāra. || 3 ||
