17. Illustrated Prashnavyakaran Sutra
Price Rs. 600/Prashnavyakaran means the grammer of questions, solutions and answers. Human mind is always faced with the question that what are those terrible perversions caused by attachment and aversion that tarnish the soul and push it to a tormenting rebirth, and how to avoid them? In order to answer these questions Prashnavyakaran Sutra starts by giving detailed description of these perversions. In Agamic terms they are called Aashravas. They are-violence, falsity, stealing, non-celibacy and covetousness. This Sutra vividly explains the definitions of these Aashravas and the miseries caused by them. In order to protect oneself from these five Aashravas, the tormenters of mind, five Samvars have been defined. They are-Ahimsa, truth, nonstealing, celibacy and noncovetousness. A soul energized by Samvar remains free of the perversions caused by attachment and aversion. The descriptions of Aashrava and Samvar encapsulate the gist of the whole sermon of the Jina.
Due to its demand by libraries, Jnana Bhandars, ascetics and lay readers this unique series may soon go out of print.
