"Only when I step on my enemies." "You have enemies too? "Of course, those whose house I break in for stealing." "You steal as well ?" "You see, I have to do all this for gambling." "Why do you gamble ?" "Simple! Because I am a maid's son." He was asked a simple question but his answers were so irrelevant that his deprivation was established. 4. Upanyasopanaya-an example that establishes own doctrine after countering the arguments of the opponent supporting his doctrine. 45 47 (a) Tad-vastuk upanyasopanaya-to counter a speaker by using his own argument. For example-Someone said "In my village there is a large lake. On its bank is a large tree. Its leaves turn into aquatic beings when they fall in water and terrestrial beings when they fall on the land." A listener reacted-"What then happens to the leaves falling in the middle? According to what you say they should become amphibious. But that is not evident, therefore what you have said is false. (b) Tadanyavastuk upanyasopanaya-to counter a speaker by shifting from the argument used by him. For example-The argument that leaves turn into aquatic beings when they fall in water and terrestrial beings when they fall on the land is countered by saying"What of those leaves that are made to fall and are taken away or eaten ?" Your statement is wrong as there is no proper relationship between cause and effect. Such counter arguments are called Tadanyavastuk upanyasopanaya. (c) Pratinibh upanyasopanaya-to counter a speaker by using another similar fitting argument as given by him. For example-Some king announced-"I will give a bowl filled with one hundred thousand coins to a person who tells me something I have not already heard." In response many scholars created beautiful poetry and told many new things. To each one the king would say "I already know this story or verse." Finally a learned and clever young man said "Your father owed my father one hundred thousand coins. If you already know this fact, please repay the debt you have inherited. If you do not know this and find this to be something new, please give me the bowl." This is an example of counter deception. arget Ferrar (593) Jain Education International 2 5 5 5 5 5 55 55 555 55 55555555 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 555 5555955 5 5 55 2 Fourth Sthaan For Private & Personal Use Only 45 卐 卐 卐 45 45 卐 卐 卐 57 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 55 5 5 55 5 5 5 5 55 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 52 卐 www.jainelibrary.org
