इस प्रकार कहते हैं कि वास्तव में जम्बूद्वीप आदि तथा लवण समुद्र आदि गोल होने से एक 卐 प्रकार के लगते हैं, किन्तु वे एक-दूसरे से उत्तरोत्तर द्विगुण - द्विगुण होने से अनेक प्रकार के हैं। इसलिए हे आयुष्मन् श्रमणों! (लोक में) द्वीप और समुद्र असंख्यात हैं।
27. On crossings... and so on up to... highways of Hastinapur masses started talking among themselves "Beloved of gods! Saint-king Shiva says that he has gained supreme knowledge and perception with the help of which, he knows and sees that this universe (Lok) has only seven continents and seven oceans. There are no continents and oceans beyond that. This statement by him is false. Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir says... and so on up to ... propagates that - 'Saint-king Shiva gained pervert knowledge due to his austerity of a series of two-day fasts. After gaining pervert knowledge he returned to his cottage... and so on up to... placed his hermit-equipment in the hermitage and started claiming that he was endowed with supreme knowledge on crossings etc. of Hastinapur city. Hearing this from him, people started discussing that was the statement by Saint-king Shiva correct? But I say that his statement is false.' Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir says-'In fact, being round, Jambu continent and other continents as well as Lavan ocean and other oceans appear similar in shape but being progressively double in size from the preceding one they are different in expanse. Therefore, O long lived shramans! In this universe (Lok) there are infinite continents.'
विवेचन - उपरोक्त सूत्र में भगवान ने शिवराजर्षि को विभंगज्ञान उत्पन्न हुआ बताया है। विभंगज्ञान का अर्थ है मिथ्यात्वयुक्त अवधिज्ञान । जब किसी बाल तपस्वी को विभंगज्ञान उत्पन्न हो जाता है तो वह सर्वज्ञ प्रभु द्वारा उपदेष्टित वचनों से विपरीत मिथ्या प्ररूपणा करने लगता है। वह उस विभंग को ही सम्पूर्ण ज्ञान समझ लेता है।
Elaboration-The aforesaid statement conveys that Saint-king Shiva gained Vibhanga-jnana (pervert knowledge), which means unrighteous Avadhi-jnana (extrasensory perception of the physical dimension, something akin to clairvoyance). When an ignorant hermit gains this knowledge he starts postulating and propagating against the words of the omniscient. He considers his pervert knowledge to be the ultimate knowledge.
