________________ Vada ] Gaṇadharavada •: 488 : (2) The cave of mokṣa is difficult to be entered by the samsārts. ( 3 ) There are two types of Brahma:-- 1. The Param Brahma or principal Brahma is mokṣa and a-param or subordinate Brahma is jñana. Your doubt has sprung up from these Veda-padas which bear contradictory senses. But you have not grasped their real interpretation. Here, I give their correct interpretation. Please listen carefully. ॥ 426 | (1974) Bhagavan now states the opponent's view and refutes it, मनसि किं दीवस्स व नासो निवाणमस्स जीवस्स ? | दुक्खक्खयाइरूवा किं होज्ज व से सओऽवत्था ? ॥४२७॥ (१९७५) Mannasi kim dîvassa va nãso nivvāṇamassa jîvassa ? Dukkhakkhayāirūvā kim hojja va se sao'vatthā ? ॥ 427 ॥ (1975) [ मन्यसे किं दीपस्येव नाशो निर्वाणमस्य जीवस्य ? दुःखक्षयादिरूपा किं भवेद् वा तस्य सतोsवस्था ? ||४२७|| (१९७५) Manyase kim dipasyeva našo nirvāṇamasya jivasya ? Duhkhaksayadirūpā kim bhaved vā tasya sato 'vasthā? ॥427 (1975) ] Trans.-427 Do you think the nirvana (extinction of life ) to be similar to the extinction of lamp ? Or, would the positive existence of soul in the form of diminution of miseries etc. be its extinction ? ( 1975 ) टीका - आयुष्मन् ! प्रभास ! त्वमेवं मन्यसे - किं दीपस्येवास्य जीवस्य नाशो ध्वंस एव निर्वाणम् १ यथाऽऽहुः सौगतविशेषाः केचित् तद्यथा दीपो यथा निर्वृतिमभ्युपेतो नैवावनिं गच्छति नान्तरिक्षम् । दिशं न काश्चिद् विदिशं न काश्चित् स्नेहक्षयात् केवलमेति शान्तिम् ||१||
