________________ Kashyap had come to this town By this reference, it is indicated that it is a town of Kaushal state“Yen Setavya Naam Kosalanam Nagaram Tad Avsari.” -Deeghanikaya, Part 2 From Jain point of view, Kaushal state includes Ayodhya and its surrounding area. Some have interpreted Seyaviya as 'Shvetambika' in Sanskrit. The word 'Payası' in the Sutra has been interpreted as 'Pradeshi' in Sanskrit by the Acharya in his Commentary and in Avashyak Niryukti the word 'Padeshi' has been used. Dev-vachak Kshamashraman has mentioned it as 'Rai-paseniya', Commentator Malaygırı has mentioned it as 'Raipaseneeya' while some other Acharyas have mentioned it as 'Raj prashniya' or 'Raj-prasenkıya'. 9 In ‘Payaası Suttant of Deeghanıkaya there is a description of this * king similar to the one in the present 'Rai-paseniya Sutra'. Here in Deeghanıkaya, the main questioner is king 'Payaası', his clan is Rajanya and he is related to king 'Pasenadi' of Kaushal. The highly despisable and sinful conduct of king Pradeshi (Payesı) that has been narrated in 'Raipaseniya' Sutra where he has been stated to be extremely sinful, irreligious and irrational king is not so prominent in Deeghanıkaya. But it is mentioned that the thoughts (reflections) of the king were sinful and he believed that there is no life after death, one does not have the power to get re-birth and there is no fruit of good or bad actions -Deeghanikaya, Part 2 The description of the conduct of king Pradeshı indicates that he did not believe in soul. He was completely non-believer in Parmatma (State of complete purification of soul) He was irreligious. He had no faith in existence of hell, heaven, lıfe after death or re-birth - रानी सूर्यकान्ता और युवराज सूर्यकान्त २०८. तस्स णं पएसिस्स रन्नो सरियकंता नामं देवी होत्था, सुकुमालपाणिपाया धारिणी वण्णओ। पएसिणा रन्ना सद्धिं अणुरत्ता अविरत्ता इट्टे सद्दे फरिसे रसे रूवे जाव विहरइ। ___ तस्स णं पएसिस्स रण्णो जेढे पुत्ते सूरियकंताए देवीए अत्तए सूरियकंते नामं कुमारे होत्था, सुकुमालपाणिपाए जाव पडिरूवे। से णं सूरियकंते कुमारे जुवराया वि होत्था, " रायपसेणियसूत्र ( 242 ) Rai-paseniya Sutra Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
