DOCTRINE OF THE JAINAS cognition (jänar päsar, comp $32) of co 1 up to all bodily substances (rūvi-davva, comp T 1, 28) in a spacc ranging from the smallest to the widest possible extension during a time comprising all stages from the smallest up to extremely large extents and, moreover, in the past as well as in the future, and such in c conditions (bhāva), though they are all but the oo fraction of all preceding conditions 3 The ohi-condition is acquired when the teaching of Mahāvīra was conveyed soccā (Vıy. 432a), but also asoccā, if only the Karman conditions mentioned above are fulfilled The true believer possesses ohi wherever he may be always in the same intensity, or either the opposite of both is valid This results in six possibilities (see JACOBI on T 1, 23, Thân 378a) partly explained by Nandi 8la ff by way of comparisons The same is done by Umāsvāti and Devanandın (p 123 ) What they call anavasthila is called padıvār by Nandī, but while in doing so a certain up and down is presupposed by the former, the latter expresses thus a nonrecurring involution (pratipatatı). As reason for some of those possibilities part of which have even sub-species Siddhasena refers to the corresponding variety of the underlying hhaðvasama condition, and it may be taken for granted that this goes for all.
