treasures hidden in all possible places. For this, however, so Sthān. says, the blame has to be put on the mohanīya karman which is still effective within him who possesses the gift of ohi-cognition.
$79. These magic qualities are equally inherent in those who own the negative ohr-cognition (Viy 435a). For the three first kinds of cognition also appear in their negations (T. 1, 32) called the three-fold annāna mai-annāna, suya-a and vibhanga nāna (Viy. 343a). All three of them rest on miccha-ditthi, the wrong belief ( $168), a word, by the way, not applied by Umāsvāti in the Sūtra (T. 1, 32 f). As to main and suyaannāņa (both of which do not occur separately) Nandi gives it in 143a. The crroneous cognition in the field of imagination has the same four stages as has the ābhınıbohıya, which if caused by evidence is based (Nandi 194a, Viy. 343 a) on the non-Jainist philosophy, science and arts 1 The vibhanga-nāna, finally, (or vibhange nāmam annāne, e g. Viy 433 a, b) shows up where the teaching of Mahāvīra was not conveyed orally and where, moreover, the Karman condition does not correspond with the above mentioned presuppositions (Viy. 430a). But it is the reward for spiritual preparedness and abstinence in the sense of the teaching, and on account of sammatta and its consequences it may even change into ohr-cognition (Viy, 433a). Thus Mahāvīra corrects the wrong conceptions of the world view resting on vibhanga which the former King Siva had acquired through his chastisements as disā-pokkhiya vānapattha tāvasa (Viy. 514b), as well as the wrong ideas about gods maintained by the Brahman Poggala (Vıy. 551a). And the seven cases of vibhanga -rāna, listed by Thān 382b, also refer to questions concerning the teaching It is not only the wrong view but also the rejection of the true facts which they all have in common, whereas the wrong ohr-cognition is being described by Viy. 343a as referring (samthiya) to the most different things beyond the field of belief eg. localities, geographical dates, places of Worship, animals and
